They're luring in people that shouldnt be in the school and dropping them in debts they KNOW that wont be repaid to get the Federal money. That's using YOU as an excuse to rip people off. If they were a hospital, it's like saying "We heal 1 of the 10 terminally ill patients we have.. so we are a success." See what I'm saying? It's bull.

money grubbing yes, but without them i wouldnt be making video games as i do today. The people that give it a bad name leave the school having wasted their time there.

My Gosh, its all about the MONEY with this guy. He comes across as so self righteous.

BTW- the GOVT does pay for these Private FOR PROFIT COLLEGES. Check the facts, oh yea, i just remembered, you ignore the facts because if you acknowledge the facts then your conscience find you.

As an employee in a For Profit College, I see too many unprepared students that have been convinced that they are going to be able to attend this school without computers and or software. They are duped by recruiters and the feds are paying the bill for that. Couldn't that money be better served somewhere else? The tuition is more than 40K a year... For Romney to push Full Sail is a joke, do you think he has some interest :)
