Wyoming — University of Wyoming
Average net price per year: $12,999
Median earnings six years after graduation: $47,300
The University of Wyoming is simultaneously the worst and best option available, as Equality State has only one secular four-year school. The net price of tuition is reasonable, while the median salary six years after graduation is well above the national average. UW students who take on student loans do rack up an average debt of $26,476 over four years, but the rate of loan defaults is minuscule at 4.9%. “The University of Wyoming is a great, affordable college that more people should consider,” a junior writes. “With smaller class sizes and dedicated professors, students are able to develop personal and academic relationships that can last a lifetime.”
