Palm Beach Post: Florida students increasingly choose to attend private, for-profit colleges

Forest Hill High School graduate Elizabeth Aubuchon just assumed she’d go to Palm Beach Community College to study radiography – a two-year program that would allow her to do X-rays and MRIs.

But when Aubuchon learned PBCC classes were full, she turned to the private for-profit Keiser College, which accepted her immediately and eased her decision to go there by walking her through complicated student loan and financial aid applications. Her loans will total thousands when she graduates.
