Where I live I hear owls every year but can never spot them. Great find!

If you just want the last word for last words sake, have it. Bryant has a fine but not stellar rep. Not a lot unique about it esp at a price tag like that. It's a regional business school primarily. I wouldn't encourage anyone looking at either RIC or URI to also apply there - Babson maybe but it's niche. ANd expensive. But have the last word if you need it.

You may be better off with a few houses near each other, or just booking a hotel

Is your back getting tired from moving the goal post yet?

Bryant's reputation has greatly increased over the past 20 years, and you've been living under a rock if that's news to you. Bryant University graduates are thought of very highly; I interface with many of them on a frequent basis in the tech world. Do their resumes go in a small pile because they're from Bryant? Maybe regionally, but certainly not nationally. Regardless, very few universities do provide that value to students.

I don't think you understand what Return on Investment is. That is the fundamental part you seem to be missing. The NPV that the Georgetown report uses to calculate ROI factors cost heavily into the equation. If you look at a school like Bryant or PC, they don't do particularly well 10 years in because their graduates are busy paying off their high student debt. The difference is that once they have paid off their debt, they rapidly catch up to and exceed their peers from other schools due to the higher expected salary they have from those schools.

The 10 year NPV for a Bryant University graduate is $149k; the 10 year for a RIC graduate is $140k.

The NPV for a Bryant grad at year 30 is $1.4 million; the NPV for a RIC grad is $814k.

So no, you don't do better at a cheaper price. That's not to say RIC isn't a good school; as I said, it provides tremendous value. At the end of the day, how you do after you graduate is more dependent on your own personal talent and drive than the school you went to. But Bryant University is the best ROI in the state, and there is data to back up that claim.

So I'm asking for the 3rd or 4th time; what data are you using to support your argument? Your inability to view the Payscale data is irrelevant. Just provide the data you used to support your original statement.

Or, better yet, admit you don't have any such data and you're basing your entire argument on anecdotal generalities.

Very few rentals of that size anywhere. I don't think AirBnB even allows them. I doubt there is anything that big on the Island. Good luck.

I can only speak for having attended URI, but I felt like it was a great school and gave me a good education. I went through their Journalism and Film Media production programs. I was out of state though so it was more expensive for me.

>You are a human being, not a corporation, a brand or a financial instrument.

Being a human doesn't pay the bills tho does it

Bryant has a new england wide rep as a second tier b-school. Always has. I think this is the intangible that you are missing here - no one is going to pull a bryant resume off the pile based on that. And if they are charging 50k a year? you can do better/same at a cheaper price. Payscale isn't free to use so I can't run alternate numbers. But they have a 73% acceptance rate? That speaks volumes on balance with your $ paywall.

dont worry. im sure this will fade in a matter of days to the correct shade of tan. then go right past it to bleached out completely.

Yes actually; data from Payscale puts the average starting salary of a Social Sciences graduate from Bryant University at $63k. Communications and Journalism average $53k, and business school graduates average $58k.

I actually have friends that work for Payscale and am very familiar with their offer. They sell their salary data and consulting services to businesses to help them build out their compensation plans; so their data is pretty solid.

So, what data do you have to support that Bryant University only has a strong ROI for their business school?

I'm guessing you don't have any, which is why you tried to flip the script and have thus far refused to share anything but anecdotal BS. But lets see!

Do you have evidence that anything but business has a good ROI? Most of the "ratings" are BS btw (look at how everyone is fleeing US news ratings, for example) so why don't you you show your work for starters?

just some quick ideas of stuff to try

​

​

• try an actual browser on a computer
• have you ever been able to withdraw before? they probably need the SSN for tax purposes and maybe it's not entered somewhere. i cant recall entering it but i only signed up and havent really used the app since
• is the app up to date?
• tried quitting the app and restarting it?
• rebooted phone
• try their tech support?

And sadly they do. Just remember, they wouldn't charge those prices if there weren't chumps that would actually pay them.

Well that's the beauty of a metric like ROI; it factors in tuition. Despite having a tuition nearly twice that of URI, Bryant provides a higher return on investment.

And as I said, that data isn't limited to just the business school.

So I ask again, do you have any data that demonstrates the great ROI at Bryant is only applicable if you go to the Business School?

They don’t need to be competitive.

Same here. It’s such a nice looking plate too.

> I've looked at state the price shifts "due to the market" or whatever that means.

"We realized we could make more money"

The setting of the college is not the issue… PC is in a rough part of town and it has an excellent academic reputation.

Last sentence is key

Let me tell you a little secret when it comes to college: for the most part, nobody gives a shit what college you got your undergrad at. If you like the school and it fits your budget, don’t get hung up on whether or not it’s more prestigious than another school.

I did my undergrad at WPI, and I finished with a huge amount of college debt that took over 15 years to pay off. I don’t regret it, but I probably wouldn’t do it again in hindsight. Because when it comes down to it, I would have probably had the same exact job whether I earned my degree at WPI versus a much cheaper public university.

I'm pointing out that if you're going to go 50k in debt for a degree (unless it's business, which is what Bryant's focus is) - your 50k will go much further somewhere else and have more name recognition/brand value than bryant. I'd imagine spending a ¼ of that at RIC would also be more effective. Even URI including room and board clocks in at $30,538....

I went there for my justice studies degree. It wasn’t bad, and way cheaper. I’d go back.
