Are Big For-Profit Colleges Dying?
#11
Totally unscientific observation, but I wonder if people just shy away from colleges that advertise too much.    I mean how many times can you see the same advertisement on Facebook promising degrees to anyone?  I'm embarrassed to admit that I get pretty judgmental about this.... and I know better!  Yikes, but there's one I keep seeing with a guy with crazy beard and neck tattoos that promises a PhD.   Nothing wrong with beard and neck tattoos at all, and I understand that they're trying to be inclusive... but it would bug me if I had a degree from that college and were trying to portray a professional image on my resume.   (My line of work would not accept me if I had neck tats)

Anyway.. what I wonder is whether the more these for-profit colleges advertise, and the bigger they get, does that make it more difficult for them to get students due to their reputation?  No one I know wants to go to college from an institution that's known for giving a degree to anyone or for being a "last-ditch" school.
