How is Coastline Community College? It sounds like a great college for Veterans?
It's not a great value when people take tests without studying because they know someone else is paying for it.
Anyone who can accumulate 150 credits in 6 months is a great deal for only $6000. Failing 18 exams is no big deal and just the cost of doing business. Heck, the VA pays way over $6000 for tons of folks for just one term at regular B&M Universities for just 15 credits. In a cost-to-benefit ratio, this is a deal for the DOD. In a cost-to-benefit ratio (time and cost), this is a deal for anyone even paying out of pocket. Look at the big picture!
$1800+ wasted on one person because he didn't want to study is no big deal?
They stopped paying for unlimited exams for a reason, and I'm glad they did.
I am not into efficiency (LEAN Six Sigma) I am into effectiveness (graduating). DOD/VA paid 5% on the USD for my credits/degrees. I could have done the local private night school university (with adult programs) for $28,500 tuition and the VA would pay me housing $1481/month in addition. Many of my fellow Vets are doing this right now. The college scoreboard says they have a 59% graduation rate. This is just one example. I am not into milking the VA. Throwing $$$$ money at these B&M colleges is the real enemy to taxpayers. Failing 18 exams is NOT part of the educational-government complex. Feds throwing $$$$ at B&M universities is.
It would only be throwing away money if veterans intentionally did not study in their courses. It's about principle. You don't waste other people's money. I have no problem with paying for education. I do not want to pay for someone who will intentionally waste my money.
