About Greensboro, North Carolina
Greensboro is a city in Guilford County, North Carolina, United States, and its county seat. Prior to the arrival of Europeans, the inhabitants of the area that became Greensboro were the Saura, a Siouan-speaking people. Other indigenous cultures had occupied this area for thousands of years, typically settling along the waterways, as did the early settlers. The economy of Greensboro and the Piedmont Triad has traditionally centered around textiles, tobacco, and furniture. (Wikipedia)

On-campus criminal offenses reported under the Clery Act, 2022–2024, across 4 campuses (3,037 students). Counts reflect reports, not convictions — schools with strong reporting cultures often show more, so a higher count doesn't simply mean a more dangerous campus.
Is it worth it?
A rough return-on-investment read from what graduates earn versus what they borrow.
- Median earnings (10 years)
- $40,092
- Typical debt at graduation
- $40,621
- Debt vs. one year's pay
- 101%
- Out-earn a HS grad
- 59%
Typical debt would take roughly 10.1 years to repay at about a tenth of median earnings.
The payoff is less clear-cut here — weigh the debt against the earnings and your intended field before borrowing heavily.
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.
The pay gap here
Median earnings 10 years after entry, split by gender.
Men out-earn women by $8,543 (23%) a decade out.
Federal figures for former students working and not enrolled, 10 years after they first entered. A gap this wide usually reflects which majors men and women here tend to choose — not different pay for the same job.
