While for-profit colleges can operate efficiently and offer education for less, their poor reputation stems from a consistent focus on profit over student welfare. Non-profit colleges, loaded with excess administrative costs and amenities, often charge more for a comparable education. However, the reality is that many for-profit institutions engage in predatory practices that exploit students. Past regulations aimed at curbing these excesses were loosened under the Trump administration, allowing for-profit colleges to operate with less oversight and regulation, further exacerbating the issues within this sector of higher education.
While there is nothing inherently wrong with for-profit colleges, their poor reputation is well earned due to predatory practices and a focus on maximizing profits.
The ideal of a for-profit college being efficient and offering education for less fails to materialize, resulting in predatory and terrible experiences for students.
