I fully agree. I spent approx. $18000.00 on student loans; the only thing I learned was how dirty the education business has become. I found it easier to return to school with FMU because of the flexibility. Meaning, I wouldn't have any problems for coming to class late, or missing a class or two, since I do work for a living. The admissions counselors are a bunch of snake-oil salesmen, and women. To address the comment about the easy A's: The reason the "professors" give passing grades so freely is for $$$$$ purposes, what else did you expect. Dean Pulumbo, and that campus president guy, make it very clear to the staff they must make it easy for students to pass their classes, and their money, I mean, their status remains active. The more people that pass their classes and graduate, the better student retention, which means more money from Corinthian Colleges, for that site, and more people hear the false advertisements and want to join, etc. etc. etc. On top of the high prices for a low quality education, you don't use half the books you are forced to buy. I had several high-priced books that were still rapped in the original plastic, I gave them all to the salvation army.

I also started my college career at FMU. I got out fast, I knew that place was a dead end. The high prices, a worthless degree and all the things you talked about. You spoke the truth.
