Most students borrow to attend, with 74% taking federal loans. Typical graduates leave with $27,000 in debt, requiring monthly payments of $286. That payment represents about 6% of the median graduate's $54,902 annual salary ten years out. The college's 75% loan repayment rate suggests graduates generally manage their debt well. Students from working-class families get the strongest value proposition here, paying roughly what they'd spend at many public universities while gaining access to Ripon's 12:1 student-faculty ratio and extensive alumni network.
