Best and Worst Colleges for Veterans
#1
The study I'm linking to looked at data from 4,600 colleges between 2009 and 2017. They mainly focused on graduation rates, amount of Post-9/11 GI benefits received, and money spent on instruction. They also looked at the percentage of students who earn more than the average wage for someone with a high school diploma. Guess which type of college tended to perform the worst?

You can look at the tables yourselves, but the stat I found most interesting is the percentage of students who earn more than the average high school graduate. 

Full Sail University - 52.3%
ECPI University - 52.3%
University of Phoenix - 50.8%
Colorado Technical University - 49.8%
Devry University - 57.9%
Strayer University - 59%

I also liked this list. These are the top bachelor's degree-granting schools that spend over 50% of gross tuition and fees on instruction and have graduation rates over 50%. 

Yale University
Washington University in St. Louis
University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences
Stanford University
State University of New York Polytechnic Institute 

These are the top 10 schools that received the most in GI Bill funds and spent less than 20% of tuition on instruction. The authors of the report call these "Bottom of the Barrel."

University of Phoenix
Devry University
Strayer University
Colorado Technical University 
Liberty University
Ashford University
Southern New Hampshire University 
Kaplan University (now Purdue Global)
Grand Canyon University 
Capella University
