Calvin, and to piggyback on Jurgis's comments.... and I'm going entirely from memory here. late in 2010 the govt. produced a report of graduation rates that broke out graduation by individual campuses for many of the schools you're looking at. If you can find it it's an eye opener - some campuses having single digit graduation rates -- and some much much better - even comparable to public institutions. What was striking to me was even in schools run by the same company, some campuses seemed much better than others. another thing: tuition is ridiculous. I thought the for profits would have a cost advantage, but in most cases it seems students would be better to just find one of the lower cost state schools and go there. I'm not sure what dynamic is at work unless alot of the for-profit-school students just need something closer to home and/or can't get admitted to the state school. credit costs seemed high to me when I called around to soem local places just to get a feel for their programs. I was shocked at the cost actually.
