Carlos: So where are you planning on attending college??

Torrie: I’ve picked Harford University.?

Carlos: The only Harford University I’ve heard of is a?degree mill.?

Torrie: I’m sure it’s not the same one. The Harford University I’m attending is?accredited, at least I’m pretty sure it is. The best part of going to Harford is I’ll never have to attend classes on?campus. I can do all of my?coursework?online.?

Carlos: You want to attend an?online university? There are some?legitimate?ones that offer good?distance education, but many have low?admissions standards?and don’t provide a very good education.?

Torrie: Not Harford. It’s a good?degree- granting?institution and they even give you?credit?for?relevant?life experience. I won’t need to take very many courses to graduate.?

Carlos: That sounds pretty?fishy?to me.?

Torrie: Don’t worry. My?transcript?and?degree?will be?indistinguishable?from those from a traditional university, without nearly as much work.?

Carlos: That should tell you something. How is their?job placement rate??

Torrie: I’m not sure, but I’m pretty sure I’ll be as?competitive?as any other college?graduate.?

Carlos: If you say so. What are you doing right now??

Torrie: I’m playing a video game stealing cars. At Harford, that’s considered relevant life experience. Cool, huh??

Carlos: Yeah, cool.?
