So, which school has been dubbed the worst college in New Jersey? According to Education.Alot, that would be Bloomfield College.

Founded in 1868, Bloomfield College of Montclair State University is a public college located in Bloomfield. The school became part of Montclair State University in July of 2023, before which it had been a private college affiliated with the Presbyterian Church.

According to the article, when it comes to graduation rates, the college falls flat.

The school currently maintains a graduation rate of only 32%. The reasons for this are unknown exactly. It may be due to competition from other schools nearby or the fact that tuition costs are too high.

According to data pulled, students leave with an average of $26,044 in debt with 14.5% of students defaulting on that amount
