I’m not sure I’ve ever seen “promises” of great opportunities after college, or whether I would ever believe anyone’s crystal ball as to what’s in the future.
As to bigoted professors, surely you can find out about them on any of a bunch of sites where kids review their schools and professors? I think this is yet another case of “buyer beware.”
You can only be sold snake oil if you’re willing to buy it.
Sure, I absolutely wish college were cheaper. And it could be-- my kids could all attend the local community college-- I went there and had a great experience-- and then choose to commute to the state university 10 minutes away. But we chose other options… after doing our homework and knowing the pros and cons.
To quote an old commercial: “An educated consumer is our best customer.” In choosing colleges, as in anything else you commit your money to, you’ve got to do your homework ahead of time.
You can certainly sue the college you’re so angry at. And you can absolutely find a lawyer who will be happy to take your case-- and your money. But I sense, strongly, that in a few month there would be another post on a forum railing against lawyers who take your money without telling you that your lawsuit is frivolous and doesn’t stand a chance of winning.
Finally, as a math teacher, I can’t give any credibility to claims of “most” or “all” without the accompanying sources. Show me the statistics, and I’ll consider your argument. Otherwise I’ll have to call it a vent.
