Rust College

Rust College in Holly Springs, Mississippi has an acceptance rate of 43%, as this tiny liberal arts college has a student population of just about 800. While tuition is $10,000 per year, which sadly is something of a bargain in the US, after fees and room and board, a four year degree comes out to about $63,400, the 20 year ROI is still -$97,100, which is pretty abysmal.
