The 10 Worst Colleges In The U.S.

What makes a bad college? The answer may vary depending on who you ask, and the list below is not meant to be authoritative, although I am sure it will be controversial to some. The universities on this list were chosen according to whether they stood out regarding personally-chosen criteria such as cost, return on investment, crime, location, graduation rate, students' rating of professors, class sizes, gender distribution and the general student experience/quality of life. Only regionally accredited universities located in the U.S. are included, and military academies and community colleges were not considered. Institutes such as DeVry, University of Phoenix, ITT, etc. have also been excluded. Only colleges for which relevant data is available have been listed.

let's see how many people here would agree with this.

What I'm assuming General Chatter is referring to is that we have all sorts of diploma mills in the United states. People routinely pay for degrees that turn out to be completely useless and they learn nothing. Our community colleges aren't great either. A big part of this is the disconnect between our excellent universities and our atrocious secondary level education. The kids aren't prepared to study at proper schools, so they go to places like "ITT Tech" or other colleges seen on TV (never attend a school that advertises during commercial breaks of jerry springer). The worst part is these kids leave school with tons of debt to the US government and no skills to help pay off their loans.

Even so, that does not change the overall excellent quality of our colleges and universities. Like most things in the US, we just need to do a better job of regulation.
