Graduation rate doesnt necessarily means its the hardest, it can just be a reflection of the type of student they usually accept.

The most difficult nearby university would be Georgetown.

UDC is most difficult. You have to dodge the rapists, robbers, gunfire, and murderers. And that's just among the faculty.

Bingo. The reason so few graduate because they can't get through college. UDC admission criteria is very strict: age 18 and high school graduate. LOL

I'm very disappointed by this misinformation. UDC is not one of those elitist schools that descriminates against those without high school diploma.

that graduation rate is terrible. it basically reflects that the school administrators don't know what the fuck they're doing. their first job is to make sure their students graduate.

With a 7.7 percent graduation rate its probably not even that strict.

By the way why is the federal government pissing away money into this school. 44+ percent have pell grants and 7.7 percent graduate? There should be some sort of performance standard for the school for a student going there to be eligible for loans and federal funds.

LMAO, UDC. That is one school I'd be embarrassed to say "I'm an alumni of it." I'd rather say University of Phoenix or any of the online based schools

A lot of people live in DC temporarily, coming here from different parts of the country. I would guess a lot of people "move on" before graduating.

I grew up in Fairfax County and moved to DC last year. I was going to take a class at NOVA for the first time but they wanted me to pay out of state, $900 per class, since I had a DC driver's license. I thought ok, I'll just take classes at the DC community college, they must be cheaper. Nope, $900 for in-state DC.
