Wilson College

Wilson College in Chambersburg, Pennsylvania began as a women’s liberal arts college that made history by becoming the first US college started thanks to a woman’s endowment, from Sarah Wilson. The school became co-ed in 2013. However, with a cost of $156,000 for a four year degree and a 20 year ROI at -$86,700, perhaps this decision should be weighed carefully. Additionally, the school’s graduation rate is 39%.
