About Green Bay, Wisconsin
Green Bay is a city in Brown County, Wisconsin, United States, and its county seat. Nicolet and others had learned from other First Nations of the Ho-Chunk (Winnebago) people, who identified as "People of the Sea", and believed they must reside on or near an Ocean. The Meyer Theatre, Tarlton Theatre, and Hotel Northland are on the National Register of Historic Places. The Northland was once the largest hotel in Wisconsin. (Wikipedia)

Is it worth it?
A rough return-on-investment read from what graduates earn versus what they borrow.
- Median earnings (10 years)
- $25,117
- Typical debt at graduation
- $6,333
- Debt vs. one year's pay
- 25%
- Out-earn a HS grad
- 21%
Typical debt would take roughly 2.5 years to repay at about a tenth of median earnings.
A reasonable return: earnings comfortably clear the debt over a few years for most students who finish.
Earnings are the College Scorecard median for former students (working, not enrolled) 10 years after entry — not a guarantee, and they vary a lot by major. Debt is the median federal loan balance at graduation.
