Ha!
They do a lot of hand-holding. Students have come here (and to my old job) and said "Why won't you do my FAFSA for me....Clown Colleges Of Central Western Ohio did!"
Well, we don't. We do offer workshops 4-5 times a month to assist you, but we think that...as a college student...you could take responsibility for this. I've often wanted to offer to also go to class and do their homework for them. Hence the point about better retention through less mediation...which can be expanded to, ahem, different standards.
And they make grand promises, and appeal to bright-eyed bushy-tailed pajama girls, and take every dime of any grant or loan they might get. There has to be a reason a person would spend 4-5 times the price of a community college, for instance, for credits that will never transfer. If they decide to further their education down the road...have fun taking all your classes over.
Now, there are some who do what they say. Offering my overall opinion of their place in this country would not be fair, really, but I see the waste they leave behind all too often.
And SOMEBUDDY is gettin' rich.
