Is this campus for-profit? Hechung 18:39, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

Though my response is a few years late, I believe the answer is "yes" (they advertise on television). And never confuse it with UC Berkeley! --UnneededAplomb (talk) 05:55, 11 December 2008 (UTC)
After some searching, they apparently have a "student's life" blog. I assume it is partially "endorsed" what with the "Apply Now" button. --UnneededAplomb (talk) 06:50, 11 December 2008 (UTC)

Demographics & Tuition

Why are demographics and tuition in the same section? Shouldn't they be separate? They have no relationship to each other. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.156.105.189 (talk) 17:11, 16 November 2011 (UTC)

Tuition

Changed the wording in the tuition section because it was biased and unsubstantiated. For example, it read that it may be one of the most expensive schools but the link verifies the tuition -- not the comparative language used (other private non-profit schools, such as Columbia and NYU are significantly more expensive as shown by the same site referenced). Also, "tuition goes up to" is also biased. I've tried to make the wording less inflammatory. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.156.105.189 (talk) 17:08, 16 November 2011 (UTC)

Advertising

removed the advert section until someone more familiar with the suject can reinsert - it doesn't seem to be crusial, anyway.

 Not done: Other than the legal section (which I still would like more national coverage rather than just local news), I find your writing very promotional and your sources trivial. I am declining this request, I do see some of your suggestions have been made already. Heart (talk) 03:30, 13 June 2021 (UTC)
