[Ideas]

Getting through the classes was always the LEAST of my headaches, it was ALWAYS the "process" happening somewhere outside of my control.  This or that person's hand in my completion/success in some office somewhere.  On the other side of this, with my degree(s) in hand, I want to tell you that 50% of people who start won't finish (ever) and I believe it's because of the B&#LSH$T of a broken system.  When I meet college graduates, I no longer am *impressed* by their knowledge or smarts, I'm impressed by their tenacity.  College is just about jumping through the hoops and not letting them wear you down.

I have less experience with it, but I came to the same conclusion. Especially when taking actual classes. (ACE, etc seems like less risk and so much faster and cheaper.)
Although if a student never moves/transfers, they might not have to jump through hoops.
