Avocado Post says the 54 colleges listed are "notorious for high tuition costs, low graduation rates, and poor return on investment."

"These factors can leave students with crippling debt and degrees that don’t always translate into successful careers. Beyond the allure of Ivy League education, it’s crucial to recognize the schools that might offer experiences closer to a fleeting summer job than a life-altering educational opportunity," Avocado Post states.
