Hi Everyone-I'm a new poster here...interesting blogs. All I can add is I went to a well thought and very large state university for my bachelor's degree. Their idea of teaching undergrads was herding them into a large auditorium with 100 of their classmates and the professor would lecture from the stage. Any labs were taught by TAs who were quite often hung over. It was a complete waste of time. I ended up going to a licensed but non-accredited school 25 years later in a field that I was really interested in. That investment has paid for itself at least 100-fold. It gave me a new career and opened all sorts of doors. And the tuition was a fraction of what an accredited university teaching me similar subjects is. For me, this type of education was a great choice.
