Wilson College – Chambersburg, Pennsylvania (Return On Investment: -$86,700)
Wilson College sits on a 300-acre campus located in a small south-central Pennsylvania town and was known to be a women’s liberal arts school for 144 years. However, in 2013, the college started accepting male students. It does not matter what a person’s gender is – they might want to see the following stats prior to deciding to enroll. PayScale reports that the graduation rate of Wilson College is only 39 percent, and those who do graduate after paying six-figures for their college tuition ($156,000, to be specific), could see a -$86,700 return on investment over 20 years. For anyone that thinks this math is bad, wait for the college that is next on this list.

Emory & Henry College – Emory, Virginia (Return On Investment: -$91,300)
Not to be confused with Emory University in Georgia, whose return on investment is $452,000 and a graduation rate is 91%, graduates of Emory & Henry College are not as lucky according to PayScale’s calculations. Emory & Henry College is a private liberal arts school and is the oldest in Southwest Virginia. Four years of education here costs about $179,000 but over 20 years, graduates see a staggering -$91,300 as a return for their investment. This probably helps explain why the college has a graduation rate of only about 54%, and for a school whose mascot is a wasp, these statistics have to sting a little.
