The ugly side of elitist academic America.

It seems like that's partly because they choose the cheaper route. Because of getting lured in by schools like AMU and Liberty who have such good rates for military. And possibly because they don't want to move for school, etc.

All good issues and possibly a bias from the elite!
Yale/Harvard grads started the current war but other men fight it! Just a fact of America.
I bet there are more than 722 Illegal Aliens at these 36 colleges?

Maybe veterans just don't want to go to these schools. I don't want my kids going to any of them either.
BTW, if that's how someone who graduates from one of these schools writes, then I am doubly uninterested. It's unreadable. I can't figure out what the heck he's trying to say in the first 5 paragraphs, and finally stopped reading. Yikes.
Last but not least, what is the pretty side of elitist academic America?
