don't need to read it again. I am not the one who claimed she had an IT degree. That isn't what this is about anyway.
get your arms around that and stop grasping at straws.

And with a 2.7 average, my guess is she'd wash out in the first semester in a true computer sciences or engineering program.

how do you know what she has invested in her education?
You don't know that for a fact.

But no matter what the bottom dollar is, she will have to pay it.

Are you capable of wroting a single post without being rude?

If that is the case, then our government should not lend money for a degree that will not benefit the student or its community. You are pretty much having the tax payer eat the bill because the graduate will never be able to pay the loan back because she is in the exact same position she was before she entered college.

Because I can do the math. She attended another college for two years to get an associates degree. At a NYS Community college, that's about $1500 a semester. Then two years at Monroe is another $24K "flat rate."

Even if she attended an expensive private two year college first, she shouldn't be able to recoup the cost of that part of her education from Monroe.

You obviously aren't taking into account additional expenses that one has for school. You nor I are able to dictate what she did or did not spend but once again, this isn't about that.
