Is there such a thing as a "bad" college?

<p>For fiance’s school, it’s seriously watered down academics, dangerous campus, dirty and old facilities, major lack of opportunities outside the classroom, TERRIBLE advising-- as in you can’t even figure out who to talk to and if you do you can’t get them to talk to you, food that makes everyone sick, lackluster financial aid services, unaffordable student health services, and the list goes on and on. </p>

<p>There are a few diamonds in the rough in terms of academic programs, like the teaching program, and there are a couple others that are well known locally for being good programs. But overall, you can get much better for the same or lesser cost elsewhere. I do have hope that they will improve sometime in the next decade, though. They’ve just built a new police station right on campus and they’ve been doing some remodeling, and they have guaranteed a cost freeze for next year.</p>
