About Quincy, Illinois
Quincy is a city in Adams County, Illinois, United States, and its county seat. Quincy's location along the Mississippi River has attracted settlers for centuries.

It is the site of America's first Arts Council, Quincy Society of Fine Arts, which was founded in 1947 by George M. Irwin. (Wikipedia)

- Typical debt at graduation
- $13,000
- Debt vs. one year's pay
- 18%
- Out-earn a HS grad

Graduates here tend to earn well relative to what they borrow — typical debt pays back fast, and most out-earn a high-school graduate.
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.
