I am an ODU LEAD graduate. I wouldn't say inexpensive and LEAD in the same paragraph.
You get out of education, what you put into it. If you are a slacker, you will not get much out of it. If you knuckle down, ask questions, and basically have a good work ethic, you will go far. I don't think the institution is at fault for you being a slacker, ever.
Devry teaches in a more tech-school format and aim for a certain type of student. (intelligent underachievers) ITT is similar. OSU wants your tuition and as many of you as it can get.
either way, an education is important, just as important has a good work ethic.
