§ I · The real read

What it's actually like.

The bet

Net price of $21k/yr for a shot at a $45k first-5-year salary. Math out whether that works for you — it does for some people, not for others.

Getting in

Admit rate of 87% means this is workable if your grades and essays are solid. Admitted students average ACT 27.

If you get in

1,362 undergrads. Tiny. Every professor will know your name.

Where you live

Suburban — a short drive to the nearest city, greener but still connected.
