The following colleges have permanently closed and went out of business. Small colleges without big endowments are at significant risk of closing, many have been going belly up for years, which means students end up with a worthless degree from a defunct school and still have to pay the student loans. Unfortunately, I know this all too well, because I attended one of these colleges below shortly before dropping out and I am still being charged for my student loans even though I have tried to get them forgiven. Don’t be fooled, college is a business that does not care about YOUR education.
