That's a difference of $2,586.

Student retention, or how often students return to continue their degree after completing their first year, is another helpful indicator. Over the last five years, at Donnelly College, about 67% of full-time students returned the following fall to continue their degree.
The size and demographic makeup of a school’s student body can have a large impact on a student’s experience. Donnelly College has 520 students, which puts it in the {SIZE_PERCENTILE} percentile of private, 4-year schools.
About 78% of students are female.
And about 42% of students are black.
