Yeah they will. It all depends on where you want to go. In my 3,432,763,098,654,237 years of college, one thing that I can tell ANYONE about deciding to enroll somewhere is that we are in an age where many schools are in the business of making money WAY BEFORE they care about the quality of education you receive.
We have a TON of options now when it comes to education. Everything from online classes to hands-on instruction with a professional, to universities, to the jacked up institution that I've given time and money to for the past four years.
If you are considering going to school, wherever you are in your professional journey...PLEASE make sure you do your homework and learn about where you're trying to go before you commit. Also remember that the recruiter you speak to is a salesperson trying to sign you up for the school. Ask them for honest information that can be backed up.
Make sure you know EXACTLY how much your degree plan will cost you and how much financial aid you will be able to get.
If they have a commercial for their school that comes on every 10 minutes on the CW station (hint-hint)...run like hell. There is a reason why they have to do so much advertising. Think about those late night infomercials about crap and the dude is yelling at the camera like he's still letting off stress from his WWE wrestling job.

WARNING:
THIS VIDEO HAS HIGH PROFANITY. BUT HE'S ON POINT WITH THE WHOLE
SITUATION. PLEASE DON'T WATCH IF YOU'RE EASILY OFFENDED.
My point is: many
colleges are taking advantage of people who want to better themselves. These
folks may have low income, they might be stuck in their dead-end job, might be
a single parent or someone who just wants to pursue their dream.
So if you are obligated to pay them to invest in your education....they are obligated to make sure you get exactly what you're paying for. Simple as that.
