Response to College Inc., NBC News, and John Oliver


            In viewing the video clips and documentary, I feel like there were some interesting points made. I have never been presented this particular topic before, but being a college student now and seeing it for the first time is extremely eye opening.  I know that I will leave college with some debt naturally; yet seeing what non-profit colleges are leaving students with is absolutely astonishing. Non-profit students leave with at least double the debt that public students have. Organizations like DeVry, Chapman, and University of Phoenix, spend more money on advertisements than they do on teaching the students. Admissions persons are told to “Dial, Dial, Dial”, “prey on the lower classes and find their pains”, sickening thoughts. Non-profit colleges prey on those who barely make it by, take all their money and leave them with astounding debts that will take the rest of their life to pay off. This clip raised some serious issues and presents a wide variety of information. It definitely will be further looked into due to the seriousness of it all.
