    To the original poster:

    Kindly note that DeVry is a for profit university. Certain pitfalls exist when choosing this route. Please take the time to watch the Frontline presentation, "College Inc", which sheds a great deal of light on these types of institutions. You may draw your own conclusions.

    I suspect that The Bird obtained this information second hand. :p

    LOL, you got those stats straight off their website. How about finding an independent source that says the same thing. :rolleyes:

    devry, everest, remington, sanford brown are all rip-offs. My friend got his ass ate up by devry. He owes like $10,000 for just a semester . Now he is taking the same identical classes at lone star college.



    Me in the other hand, got accepted for the medical radiolgic program at Cy-fair college :cool:

    To the OP-

    You will do yourself a great disservice by going to DeVry. The people who make hiring decisions will generally not give that educational experience much credence. You will usually do much better (at a much lower cost) by going to JUCO and transferring to UT, A&M or UH.

    This is your life. I hope for the best for you. I believe you are making a mistake.

    I agree. The people here that are raggin on u are taking away from the great advice that some people are giving. Juco-> university will give u more bang for your buck.

    Congrats! Sounds like a prestigious university. Is it an Ivy league school?

    This stupid Everest College keep on harassing me to take their courses. They call me every freaking day but I never pick it up so I decided to block their calls.

    I have never seen a cruel Refman post before. Follow his advice, and get your money back before you're 60k in the hole. Hell, I didn't even pay 60 for my state education.

    If you're for real GlenRice (and I have my doubts), I would get that refund ASAP, then ask companies that you're interested in working how much they value a deVry degree.
