    Hello all,

    You need to check out this flick! Although I'm sure this would never happen...its worth it just for the laughs.

    Premise: High school kid is rejected from every college he applies to, and decides to create his own college with the help of his friends - using an old psychiatric facility as his base of operations. Complete with web site, fake admission letters, dorm rooms, "courses", a half-pipe, a burned out academic for hire, sex, sex, and oh yeah...more sex.

    Then he goes before the state board to answer for his charges filed by a legitimate school up the hill who wants the land space - and tries to get accredidation.

    Its a hoot. Makes me think why I could not have gone to his school to get my degree...lol.

    Courses as crazy as "Hooking up Overseas 101", or "Thinking about Life 237"...I about split my sides!

    I do want to see this but I was wondering if I get a copy of the DVD free when I get a non-RA degree?

    Actually I have often thought of opening a private career college in Ontario: you only need a $25k bond plus a website. Anyone know what states allow you to run a private college with little/no requirements other then record keeping.

    Mississippi, which is why it's an infamous haven for degree mills. Anyway, I'd think that if you're serious, and not just interested in starting a mill, you ought to be able to get a license in your own state. (Out of curiosity, where are you?)
