University of Phoenix

Being well-known is not an advantage when you're well-known for breaking laws, recruiting disabled veterans with brain damage, and being the McDonald's of education.

If your budget is limited, and you want to take someone on a date, you would be better off taking the person to an unknown burger joint than a large chain restaurant like McDonald's. If you take an adult on a first date to McDonald's, they may never talk to you again.

Many people prefer unknown colleges because there's no controversy surrounding them. U of P is a very well known online only college but there are still people who are against online education so that brings with it its own challenges. Add on the controversies and poor opinion many people have of the place and it may not be the wisest option for some people.

PUG does not have the same reputation. Could be because Kaplan was not anywhere as well known as U of P. Also people think highly of Purdue.

Agree with the first paragraph. The majority of colleges and universities are unknown outside of the state or city they're located in. Some of them aren't even known outside of the neighborhood they're in. As long as the tuition is cheap, going to these schools is perfectly fine. Most people go to a podunk college or Directional U, and they're not trying to get hired at Goldman Sachs.

University of Phoenix is known by the average person, especially if they're older than Gen Z. The problem is that the average person who is not on an education forum is less knowledgeable, so their opinions of University of Phoenix might be even worse. The reactions that are on Reddit are more akin to what you'll come across offline because Redditors don't understand accreditation just like everyone else. There have been so many times that I've heard a person assume that University of Phoenix is unaccredited or that it has "inferior" accreditation.
