Oh, I mean Aaaaawwwww.
University of Phoenix and the other For Profit "Universities" like it are exactly what America does NOT need, They are Major Rip-offs for not just ordinary students, but they target students who could not get into a regular college, due to poor grades and study habits and worse, they target discharged, disabled returning military men and women, most of who will never finish school due to the Traumatic Brain Injuries they suffered in Iraq and Afghanistan, so they end up dropping out with a ton of Student Loans that they can't pay back or discharge in bankruptcy.
Want to learn more, check out this video from FRONTLINE: "Educating Sergeant Pantzke"
There is a lot to read at the website too if you don't want to watch now, but it's a very good show. The video is only 18 minutes and is sort of an add on to the video I listed below, "College, Inc."

Here is another from a few months earlier from FRONTLINE called: "College, Inc."
Which is all about how these schools are a creation of Wall Street.

Both show are excellent and well worth the 55 minutes or so it take to watch them.
