Every time I see this commercial on tv, I get a little tear in the corner of my eye FM123 Nov 2017 #1

Great Commercial, lousy educational investment. Adrahil Nov 2017 #8
A for-profit institution that's little more than a loan mill has to keep up appearances, I guess. WhiskeyGrinder Nov 2017 #3

It is a for-profit "college." It has no real professors, all are adjuncts. Its decisions on textbooks is not based on the merits of the book or made by faculty. The decisions are made by managers, apparently based on financial kickbacks.

Too bad such a horrible institution hired a good ad agency.

I wish they would concentrate on giving their students a meaningful education instead of good advertising.

I used to work for a whistle-blowing company - took reports from people with complaints about all sorts of things.

I cannot even count how many I took about University of Phoenix.
