I agree. I have heard nothing but bad things about all of these schools, particularly DeVry.

You are NOT getting the education you are paying for at DeVry, guaranteed. $600 a credit is entering cheaper private university or out-of-state public tuition territory. You are much better off going to a community college at that rate.

Transferring credits is a huge problem too. I think that places like DeVry should be required to put a disclaimer on every advertisement saying, "Warning: The credits you earn at DeVry will most likely NOT transfer to a four-year college or university."
