A recent investigation by WBEZ reveals that for-profit colleges in Illinois, including schools like DeVry, leave students with significant debt and low wages, often worse off than if they hadn't pursued higher education. The study surveyed over 250 current and former students, highlighting the misleading promises of job prospects and the financial struggles faced by graduates.
