"For Profit" Colleges

After watching this video, my reaction to it is that I don’t believe these “for profit” colleges make it any easier on students. My reason for saying this is because during the video, it shows how much difference there is between a “for profit” school and a community college or other schools tuition pay. The increase is a big amount and it is also said in the video that these for profit schools leave students in more debt than other colleges after earning their degree. Also as a professor this is a job that you can just get fired after one year, how assuring of a job is that? I currently have no friends that I know of that are in any schools like these and hope they don’t.

What to be aware of when choosing a college is make sure the college is a good school that promises out of field work and experience, make sure your going to get an education that is worth it and a faculty that is more focused on the students and education. To me its seems like these for profit schools are more for business and just to make money, that’s why they charge so much, and come out with commercial that look more like ads and don’t focus on the educational highlights of the school, not just making or promoting the school appeal to look good. The only good I see is that their development of new courses is fast, but if it is developed so fast I believe how can it be so organized and turn out good when done in such quick time?

After watching this video, the way it affects my decision or choosing of a college is to be more aware and find out more information and make sure you really want to go to the college you are choosing. I still feel that LaGuardia was the right decision for me though so I can’t say I regret that, Try to go to a school that has a decent tuition pay or has an amount that you are willing to pay.
