I think they're called 'for profit' colleges, but I'm not sure.  Places like ITT Tech and University of Phoenix: why are they bad?

Or is that just a matter of opinion?  My parents made me watch a special on it a while back when I was looking for schools to apply to, but it all went completely over my head and was so technical and confusing...I think I ended up falling asleep.

They have a profit motive. The thing is, academic standards aren't really profitable; to get the most money, you want to accept as many students as possible and ensure that none of them drop out. So a for-profit college's degree doesn't really mean anything; nobody will care if you have it.
