Colleges get money whenever someone graduates, so money is the only reason. What else? I don't mind that much, because if it was voluntary class, I probably would have rarely gone.
Colleges get money
after you graduate? So like, that's when you pay the tuition or do you pay earlier and the money's just locked?
I'm so ignorant. I only know how Canadian schools work, at least the one's I've been to.
Well, I guess that makes sense then. What would happen if someone were to drop out of a program or switch? Here, you pay before school starts, and you have up until a certain time to drop out to get reimbursed. Or, if you talk to a counsellor or whatever, you may be able to switch programs.
Kicking people who don't take the course seriously because such course is in high demand kinda makes sense. I would think the school would do things to counter the high demanded course though. Like, in my psychology course it was completely full. Some people were even sitting on the steps in the auditorium. There wasn't enough room for me, but they did do this: each class was recorded live, and you could watch each recording through the school's computers in one of the computer labs (I believe if you payed extra, you could watch the recordings on your own computer. It's some special service they have that's why it's free if you watch through the school). But yeah, that was my psychology class -- I watched everything from a live recording for 3 hours straight
