Martin Luther College – New Ulm, Minnesota

Martin Luther College in Minnesota is home to one of the most unusually busy campuses in the United States. A third of the under 900 students participate in varsity sports, while the other two-thirds participate in intramural sports. That has a lot to do with how pleased the students appear all the time. Students, no matter how fit they are in school, appear to be unprepared for life outside of school. Tuition costs $93,300 for four years, yet the average return on investment after 20 years is -$123,200.
