Rust College

Another private liberal arts college, Rust College is the next college on the list of colleges that aren’t worth the money and time. Rust College, a historically black college in Holly Springs, Mississippi, is the second-oldest private institution in the state of Mississippi. But that historicity doesn’t help Rust College much when it comes down to the figures of tuition and ROI.

While Rust College offers a substantial amount of financial aid and keeps the yearly cost of tuition fairly low—less than $16,000 a year—its graduation rates remain low as well, with just 18% graduating after four years out of the 43% of applicants that are accepted at the august institution. This makes the ROI at Rust College a massive -$97,100.
