§ I · The real read

What it's actually like.

The bet

Net price of $21k/yr for a shot at a $38k first-5-year salary. Math out whether that works for you — it does for some people, not for others.

Getting in

Admit rate of 67% means this is workable if your grades and essays are solid. Admitted students average SAT 1156 · ACT 22.

If you get in

1,819 undergrads. Tiny. Every professor will know your name.

Where you live

Rural — true campus bubble, nature on the doorstep, plan for a car.
