P = University of Phoenix

Information taken from http://www.phoenix.edu/

I'm not particularly interested in this college because:

1. Online: A large part of the course is online, which creates more room for error and technical difficulties which can interfere with the class and they are expensive as well. http://www.phoenix.edu/students/how-it-works/how-learning-formats.html

2. Computer Programming: They don't have a very prominent computer programming course, or at least do not have many visible options on their website. They do have one course which only provides the "basic understanding of programming".

3. Reputation: They have only been around since the 1970s, which makes them much newer than a lot of known universities with good reputations.

4.  Location: There aren't any colleges near where I live, Slingerlands, which makes it inconvenient to get to the university unless I attend online.

5. Location: While there are many universities spread across the U.S., the chances that they are all too shallow in their curriculum is also high. Personally, I believe that their dedication to students is questionable if they cannot focus their efforts.

Reasons why it would be a good choice:

1. Symbol: They have a really cool symbol, and I like phoenixes.

2. Teachers: Their teachers are all supposedly extremely qualified and are "encouraged" to put what they teach into practice outside of teaching.

3. Online: If I were to take an online course, it would be easier to multitask while learning.
