Los Angeles Pierce College Woodland Hills, CA

February 3rd, 2012 — 4:10pm

In November I stopped by the campus of Los Angeles Pierce College, and  just  loved the name of the coffee shop “The Freudian Sip” .  This was the first school that I attended (a long time ago) and I was so excited to be enrolled in college!   Back then tuition was very inexpensive and students didnt need loans to make it through a semester :-)

University of Colorado Denver, CO

January 13th, 2012 — 4:39am

Bicycles at the University of Colorado – Denver. I visited this campus last October and I was really impressed with how the city of Denver incorporates bicycle lanes and routes through out the city. This makes getting around town easy and inexpensive for students. There are more than 400 miles of bike routes in Denver, and there are 40 miles of bike lanes. The downtown area features 600 bike racks to lock your bike and there are even places you can check out a bike and borrow it for the day. Click on the link to read more about bicycling in Denver

Default rates are higher at for-profit colleges

January 11th, 2012 — 4:11am

There are many differences between schools that operate without regard to profit as compared to those that operate for-profit.  One major difference is the student loan default rate.  According to figures from the Department of Education for the year 2009:  default rates at  for-profit schools were 15% compared to 4.6% at not-for-profit schools.  And nearly one half of the total defaults on student loans are from students that went to for-profit schools.  An article in the New York Times states   ”for-profit schools depend on federal student aid for more than 80 percent of their revenues”.

Students considering enrolling in  a for-profit school should carefully research the tuition cost, accreditation and the ability to transfer credit hours to other institutions.
