What actually gets reported at Bennett College
Across 3 reporting years, the only Clery Act category with a recorded on-campus incident here is Aggravated Assault.
The remaining 10 categories were reported with no on-campus incidents, among them Arson, Burglary, Fondling and Incest. Under the Clery Act that zero is an affirmative report that nothing in the category occurred, not an absence of data, which is why the table below lists those rows rather than dropping them.
Counts describe incidents reported under the Clery Act for the on-campus geography. Reporting practice varies between institutions, so counts are not a direct measure of relative safety.

Cost context
Where Bennett College sits on price and outcomes
At $28,299, Bennett College's reported average net price is cheaper than 91% among 145 North Carolina colleges with a reported figure. The state median is $14,086.
- $28,299
- average net price
- $14,086
- North Carolina median
- 0.8×
- six-year earnings to median debt
- $7,049
- reported income-bracket spread
This institution reports an unusual pattern: families under $30,000 record a HIGHER net price ($27,576) than those above $110,000 ($20,527). Fewer than 2% of institutions reporting both brackets show this shape. It can reflect small bracket samples or programme mix rather than aid policy, so treat it as a question to raise with the financial-aid office rather than a finding.
Median earnings six years after entry ($23,153) are less than one year of the reported net price. That is a thin margin, and it is the figure worth pressing the school on before enrolling.
Average net price reflects grant and scholarship aid for aided students, not a personal offer. Earnings cover former students who received federal aid; neither measure predicts an individual's outcome.
