About Twinsburg, Ohio

Twinsburg is a suburban city in Summit County, Ohio, United States, located midway between Akron and Cleveland. The first person to settle Millsville was sixteen year-old Ethan Alling, who in 1817 moved to Township Five in the tenth range of the Connecticut Land Company. Twinsburg holds a yearly festival for twins, and other multiple births, called Twins Days. The festival started in 1976 and has grown to be the world's largest annual gathering of twins, with around 3,000 sets attending annually. (Wikipedia)

College Scorecard / IPEDS, most recent year. Family income is total household income; net price covers tuition, fees, room, board and supplies after grant aid, for students receiving federal aid.

Does the school pay you to attend?

Grant aid from the school's own funds — the discount off sticker, on top of any federal or state help.

4%
of first-years get a grant from the school
$1,750
average award, among those who get one

Modest institutional aid: 4% of freshmen get a grant from the school, averaging $1,750. Most of what lowers the price here is federal or state money, not the school's own funds.

Blends need-based and merit aid — IPEDS doesn't split the two, so a high number can mean generous merit scholarships, deep need-based aid, or both. Figures cover 47 full-time first-year undergraduates, 2022–23. Source: IPEDS Student Financial Aid.

Is it worth it?

Typical debt would take roughly 3.2 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.
