When I went to ACP there was one building and the tuition was affordable. There were a handful of professors on staff. Now, they have made a "campus", added a beautiful student union building, dorms and the faculty number in the hundreds. This is great! But, comes at a great cost. Students should really evaluate the money end and realize they will be saddled with a debt they will be paying off into their grandparent years!!! With the student loan scam the way it is, and the silence of the colleges in this regard, you kids will be in debt for a long time!! My son has one of many loans: one federal loan was $25000 @ 8.5% interest and it has been paid on for 7 years now. He owes $2000 more than when he started! BE FOREWARNED…THE STUDENT LOAN-SHARKS DO ALL THEY CAN TO HAVE YOU DEFER & PUT OFF PAYING. THEY SEND BILLS THAT SAY YOU OWN NOTHING FOR THAT MONTH… WHILE THEY KEEP CHARGING YOU HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS A DAY IN INTEREST…IT IS A SCAM…BE FOREWARNED!! And ACP does nothing assist the young professional. Their "scholarships" are few & far between, even if you have graduated top in your high school class. I feel colleges gouge the student with tuition, new buildings, fancy grounds, faculty, etc… I would think a student would rather have classes in modest buildings & be debt-free than have a "pretty" campus and be owing for 20 years !
