what are the different types of colleges, exactly? you're mentioning profit schools as the worst kind, so what's the best kind?
A for profit school is normally stuff because it's for profit. Any other type of school is better. Though community colleges and 2 year types schools only offer associates degrees or pre-recs.
Then there's a normal 4 year school that offers bachelor degrees. There better mostly because they have more money. The difference between 4 year schools are there are private and public. A private one gets all of it's money from tuition and alumni. A public college get's it from tuition, alumni, and the state.
Getting a bachelor degree at a university or college is exactly the same pretty much. A university is different because it has a grad school, which is for masters or any other fancy degree like that.
Overall schools like DeVry, Pheonix, and Full Sail are really stuffty. They don't have the best programs and they normally cost more than a community college or a public university. There is absolutely no benefit going to one instead of a similar program at a community college or normal college/university.
one problem about even trying for Full Sail is it's across the country from where i live
the other one that caught my attention at one point was Cogswell, a college in sunnyvale ca, about 30 minutes from where i live.
