The colleges that make the most noise, advertise widely and reach out via email or text grab your attention. No doubt. But it might be a good idea to look at these schools with a skeptical eye.
Most are basically money making operations that may not have your best educational interests at heart.
They often make promises and help you work out payments through your G.I. Benefits But there’s a lot they don’t tell you, and it’s really easy to use up your G.I benefits on an education that may not give you what you need.
