Florida Has One Of The Worst Colleges In America

Luckily, it's not a school here in Fort Myers.  But, there is one school in Florida that has made the list of the 50 worst schools in America.  Ouch!

According to a study done by AlotFinance.com, that school is Edward Waters College located in Jacksonville, FL, coming in at number 8.

Here's what AlotFinance.com had to say about Edwards Waters College.  There are a lot of bad things about Edward Waters College. First, it has a low 19.6% graduation rate. Second, six-year post-graduation surveys show a $25,900 median salary.  Finally, it’s expensive, so students walk out with $22,558 worth of debt. That makes it hard to pay off student loans, so it's no surprise that Edward Waters College’s loan default rate is 21.7%.

Those are all very important factors to consider when choosing a college.  Be sure to do your research before making such an important decision.  You see all of he schools on the list of the Worst Colleges in America here.
