This law school has to be to worst of the worst for all its existence starting with its lack of ABA approval from the outset, then everything with Argosy, Education Management Corp., Dream Center Foundation, receivership, Westcliff, etc. Somehow something that was a dead bang worthless school seemed to get even worse. This is my message to prospective students: If you are thinking about over $200,000 in discharged-blocked student loans for this "second rate" (actually a compliment) institution ask yourself this: Will I still... read more
