In watching College Inc., a segment provided by PBS, something that I found really interesting was that those who attend colleges such as University of Phoenix and ITT Tech tend to have a higher loan debt than those who attend regular colleges. Before watching this video I never really new anything about for-profit colleges and how they worked so I did not have any impression of them, I just knew they existed. Now that I have watched it I kind of know how they work and I will make sure that people whom I am close to do not attend those colleges because I do not want them to be in debt for the rest of their lives due to all of the loans they had to take out to attend. These colleges get a lot of applicants by spending a ridiculous amount of money on advertising their services. I would want to know how well these for profit colleges would do with little to no advertisement like regular non-profit colleges.
