University of Phoenix: Stupid Students=University of Phoenix

Many student's have become victims of U of P's sub-prime student loans and deceptive enrollment tactics, that leave potential and former students owing thousands of dollars or in collections.

University of Phoenix's profits up dramatically recently according to Business Week, The New York Times, and On-Line business resources, Blogging Stocks.com

"Apollo Group's $37 billion trifecta": By the way University of Phoenix's parent company also owns Harrahs Casino. According to Blogging Stocks.com's web site,referring to a New York Times article of Dec. 20, 2006

Kind of ironic: The same company that let's you take a wager or bet in Las Vegas; Also forces a lot of their University of Phoenix student to bet on their financial futures. And often times loose.

National Public Radio's Marketplace said in a recent report: "For-profit schools such as the University of Phoenix get most of their revenue from federal student aid. They also face accusations of building enrollments through high-pressure tactics that leave students in deep debt". (Tuesday, November 3, 2009: Show)

Honestly who takes advice from someone who cannot even spell in their own video?

A friend of mine decided not to work for U. of Phoenix, after finding out what a horrible reputation they had.

[ttiiyy]

@GMATveteran One of the deans at a local community college in my area is a Phoenix (he got a degree in education there). The salary and benefits are VERY good. U of P has a decent reputation because its programs are accredited. But I guess you're too stupid to know that. Or mayb you're so busy with your "job" at Walmart that you don't know what's happening in the real world.

Truthfully, even if you go to a fancy college like Harvard or Stanford, you will NOT be able to find a high paying job if you only get a degree in liberal arts. In other words, you'll be in DEBT for a LONG time. My friend went to UCI, got a bachelor's degree in economics, and now he's doing sales. What's the point? It's going to take him a LONG time to pay back the debt. That's the reality.

At least U of P offers career training programs.

Some people always say that private/for-profit colleges are terrible.  There's some truth to that. However, the same type of HORROR story can happen at any public college. How many professors at these public colleges have actual work experience themselves? These public colleges charge tuitions as much as private/for-profit colleges. Their professors get housing and all kinds of benefits packages. Is it fair to ask the students and taxpayers to absorbe the costs? Colleges're just greedy.

@GMATveteran LOL You sound like a loser. Worthless degree? They have some programs such as accredited nursing programs which help their graduate students get jobs at local hospitals. You hate your own worthless life, and that's why you come up here and trash this college. Trust me, it won't make your life any better. My friend went to UCI, and he got a bachelor's degree in economics. What's he doing now? SALES. Now that's pathetic!

@Jantv81 I would say that its a FOR PROFIT school, not a private school.

@adriank1223 Never had any problem with them. I don't owe as much thanks to scholarships, and grants. Those who claim its a scam, well, lets just say they want to make themselves look better. Yes, its a private school with the same classes I would have taken at a regular state university or college.

[GMATveteran]

Wow... what a ingenious setup: lure people into U of Phoenix for a worthless degree, then channel them into perpetual low-wage jobs at places such as Harrah's casino! Its not like those people have a whole lot of other choices! XD
