About Niles, Ohio

Niles is a city in Trumbull County, Ohio, United States. Niles was founded in 1806 by James Heaton, who owned one of the first iron-ore processing plants in Ohio. The town originally went by the name of Heaton's Furnace but was later renamed Nilestown after Hezekiah Niles, editor of the influential Weekly Register news magazine. The National McKinley Birthplace Memorial Library and Museum in downtown Niles was established in 1915 to remember President William McKinley. Nearby is the McKinley Birthplace Home and Research Center. The Ward-Thomas Museum is the current home of the Niles Historical Society. (Wikipedia)

Does the school pay you to attend?

Casal Aveda Institute funds essentially no grants of its own — almost all aid here comes from federal (Pell), state, or outside sources rather than the school's own discount. Its sticker price is what it is.

Is it worth it?

A rough return-on-investment read from what graduates earn versus what they borrow.

Typical debt would take roughly 3.5 years to repay at about a tenth of median earnings.

Solid value

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.
