They charge too much and they don't give you what they promise...it's become an extended adolescence.

Why go to adult baby sitting factories that teach zero skills or educate people? If I wanted my kids indoctrinated, I'd send them to Cuba or China.

I reviewed the literature regarding college closures. For sure, many colleges are either closing or are merging with other colleges.
This link takes one to web site, https://www.bestcolleges.com/research/closed-colleges-list-statistics-major-closures/. It's an interesting article that includes the names of colleges closing and reasons for closures. I knew of only the names of three colleges that are listed as closed or closing. The only one with thousands of students that has closed is a branch of Purdue University, located in Indianapolis. I'd heard of Mills College because I'd lived in the SF Bay Area and knew that this school is highly ranked and has "highly selective" admission policies. It is listed as closing because it is merging with Northeastern University. I'd also heard of the Art Institute of San Francisco. I knew of this place and wasn't ever impressed. I'd heard of NONE of the other schools that are closing. They are all listed as small-to-tiny enrollments. What lies beyond the scope of this video and the articles that I scanned are the universities that are not closing and are not merging but which have departments and schools within the university that are closing. A friend was in her last year of a Ph.D. program in clinical psychology; she was a colleague of mine. We worked together, providing psychotherapeutic treatment to inmates within the Washoe County (Reno) Sheriff Detention Facility. She told me that students that had one year to go in order to complete their Ph.D.s were allowed to finish. Other, lower classmen and classwomen had to find other places to complete their studies. I'm referring, here, to the University of Nevada's flagship campus in Reno.
