For-Profit Online University
#1
This satirical piece was posted on another forum. It's based on some common misconceptions about for-profit colleges and distance education, but it still gave me a laugh.

After this and "Too Many Cooks", I know I won't be sleeping for days. When the video started skipping, I was already dreading what was coming.

...I do think it's cool that there are others out there who like Kid Rock for my exact same reasons...

After watching the video, I had to watch "Bawitdaba." It took me back to my childhood watching TRL on MTV.

I was going through my old threads because I had forgotten about all the competency-based programs I had found. When I saw this one, I had to bump it for the newer members.
