lmao wtf omg

I hope those people were paid actors, or compensated in a way other than free tuition.



There is actually a well respected and very affordable quality education available through Western Governors (WGU) and it's completely online.

IMO, the education is only as good as your potential employer perceives it. Search for something that's Regionally accredited.

No. In fact the gubernment has been investigating many of these heavily advertised universities such as, but not limited to, University of Phoenix, ITT, etc... They make promises about the value of their education (in terms of future earnings) that the statistics don't support.
