Worst for who? The students? The staff? Parents? The city? The economy? The environment?

Yeah also something 50-60% of the property value in the city is owned by yale, and is untaxable by city law. If it were taxed like anything else in the city it would come out to like 20-30 times more than what they "donate" to the city every year

Dumb question. It’s obviously where ever the person asking this question went. I graduated from SCSU. I have a degree and not a shit load of debt.

*state law, not city law. I would point out that this is true for essentially all non-profit universities across the country. They are also, as non-profits, exempt from federal taxes.

Albertus Magnus. Not as accessible as SCSU, not as prestigious or economically significant as Yale. What's it got going for it?

Yale is not comparable to other non-profit universities (aside from Harvard, Stanford, Princeton, MIT, etc). They have the second largest endowment in the country at over $42 billion…

For context, 20-30 minutes away at Quinnipiac (where president Lahey set a record for highest-paid college president ever), the endowment is under $1 billion.

Yale has too good of a deal with the city of New Haven, and owes more to the city’s residents.

SCSU because they failed me internship wise. Probably just me though. Cheap school.

Because by any objective fact it is. It’s a 2 year school, to start with.

That doesn’t make it not useful, but there’s nothing that it wins at outside of cheap and easy.

I’m a big fan of the community college system, but objectively by almost any measure how do you not say it’s the worst school in town?

Although I’d point out it also doesn’t qualify for the question isn’t it isn’t a university.
