This was a horrible, costly experience, and I'm still going through it." Linda Blake, 55, who graduated from Intercoast College in 2013 but failed the state licensing exam. She works as a home health aide and owes $10,000 to the school.

These colleges shouldn't be allowed to loan their students money - that's a conflict of interest. There's no incentive for the college to graduate the students if the students are required to pay back the $ from the date of the loan.

The education is often (usually?) substandard and people aren't licensable in their professions. They should be shut down.

Victoria Morse, a registered nurse and former instructor at Intercoast's vocational nursing program in Fairfield, said that despite meeting the school's basic entrance requirements, many students did not learn basic concepts - such as the fact that "heart rate" and "pulse" meant the same thing - even after months in the classroom.

So their problem is that admit too many stupid people into their college. Perhaps they should require an IQ test for entry.
