<p>^I saw a documentary about for-profit universities by Frontline and I got a very negative feel of them. The degree that you got from these for-profit universities was watered down. For example, someone went to Everett College for nursing and the nursing degree didn’t even include any practical nursing experience and as a result she ended up with no job.</p>
<p>Also, the University Of Phoenix admissions people are pressured to get as many people to enroll as possible. Even if you can’t afford it, they’ll give you loans (which you can’t pay back after your education because you can’t get a good job). I think there was a rumor that if they don’t enroll a certain number of people, they get fired so they do whatever they can when they call you to get you to enroll.</p>
<p>The department of education should look carefully when giving out loans for these for-profit schools. Because if this trend continues, many people are going to have loans they can’t pay back.</p>
