Video/Reading Response
Something truly interesting to
me about the video that we watched in class is that I have never heard of
colleges doing such a cruel thing. It never crossed my mind that colleges
obtain money from the government and put a humungous amount of college students
into huge debt. It’s devastating to think about because many students take
loans to educate themselves. Before the video and learning a little bit about
for-profit colleges, I had never heard of such a thing. It was also a shock to
me that schools that I hear about all the time, such as, ITT Tech and
University of Phoenix having a larger rate of loan debt than other colleges. As
for my perspective towards for-profit universities, I think it’s a terrible
concept and should be investigated heavily. I see a lot of commercials about
University of Phoenix and ITT Tech and now I realize it’s because of all the
money they spend on advertising to gain loans from students. I am very exited
to learn more about what organizations like this are trying to do and what could be done to prevent it.
