Here Are The Upstate NY Colleges That Meet The Criteria of Worst in U.S.

#49 Hartwick College-Oneonta, NY

The graduation rate is only fifty-eight percent and students face a yearly tuition of $48, 120. This is higher than the salary they would receive after graduation.

Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute has a graduation rate of just fifty-seven percent not to mention the very high tuition costs. The average debt is $32,600, and fewer than six of ten graduate students are lopsided with the financial burden of attending and their potential employment.
