Having to pay up front, in and of itself, is not a good way to judge it.
Ask around with other students currently in a program, the user, to see what you are buying. |
I think any school that wants students to pay everything up front should be avoided. It is one thing to give a discount to have a couple of thousand in your account. It is something else entirely to have people pay in full, up front.
If a student is stupid enough to do this, they invite disaster. All you have to do is look at what happened at ATA in Orlando and probably a 100 other schools over the years. Nothing like paying in full and showing up to a locked building. "Sorry we are closed, have a nice life." There were students that lost tens of thousands at ATA. Reason enough not to pay up front...
