| Why are there so many signs for this on the Fairfax County Parkway and other roads in northern Virginia? |

| It has more signs out on the roads than George Mason does. How is that possible? |

| Good PR? They are real, campus (one building I think) across street from Fairfax Wegmans. I know someone who used to work there. |

Surprisingly, they're not a for-profit school. However, according to Wiki, they're about to lose their certificate to operate. |

| Isn’t it basically an international student diploma mill? |

| How come we have so many "colleges" with fancy names and them mostly just target international students? |

The one international individual who was looking at it (I don't know what she decided to do) was looking at it for a prep course to show some level of English comprehension. If she passed, she could attend university here in the states. I imagine that is the type of study provided there. Though I also have seen signs for summer camps on their billboard/sign out front of the building. |
