Misleading Advertisments

We have all seen false advertising before, Whether it be about a snowboard, food establishment, or a car. False advertisement is just going very far now a days because personally I never thought that when I would be looking for a college I would click on one website and then be taken to a completely different college page. Everyone has had to go through the monotonous routine of applying to colleges, but I don't think your parents had to try so hard to apply to a particular college without being taken somewhere else. Imagine if this type of false advertisment happened 30 years ago when we did not have the internet. Think about if you were driving to the University of Vermont and you got there and filled out paperwork then they told you to get back in your car and go to the County College of Burlington. That would make anyone angry, well that is essentially what the internet is doing to you its just rerouting you to another destination one that you don't want to go to.
I know this has already been brought up before but it is a main part of the article, this is that people that don't care very much about their college education in other words "lazy" are going to stay on the site that they were rerouted too. these type of people aren't going to go very far in their lives because if they are this lazy that they cant go and look for the true site of the college then they aren't going to put very much effort into their education. these type of people shouldn't even on keep on looking for the right college they should just stay on that community college page and actually fill out an application for that school. This type of false advertisement will be the downfall of every student whether their young or old.
