5. Talladega College (Alabama)

Talladega College is known across the country for its marching band, which is revered for winning national competitions year after year. Many musicians dream about playing for the Great Tornado Marching Band, especially since they got to perform at the presidential inauguration parade a couple of years ago too. Not too shabby!

Unfortunately, when looking at the bigger picture and what you’re getting out of a qualification from Talladega, they likely won’t be making much noise about the results. 43% of students that graduate having paid the $88,200 tuition can expect a -$156,900 return on investment over the next two decades. It sounds a little tragic like the music played on the Titanic while it was sinking.

4.Lindsey Wilson College (Kentucky)

Athletes flock to Lindsey Wilson College, largely because of its wide range of choices of sports to compete in, and also because it is home to many championship trophies from across the States. The school even boasts a couple of alumni who have gone on to have successful careers in sports, particularly in cycling and women’s soccer.

For the average student, however, who forms part of the 34% graduation rate and paying over $150,000 intuition, the financial ends may be less beneficial. Expect a loss of $160,800 on your “investment” over the span of twenty years if you study at this university, ultimately leaving you somewhat sidelined from the main game.
