It could be confusing and difficult for international students to search for U.S. colleges and universities from a huge supply of schools. This problem creates a lucrative market for numerous unethical study-abroad service agents and blacklisted universities to work together. Those unethical agents do not care if they mislead their students to unaccredited colleges or bad schools without quality education. Why they don’t care? You may ask.

- if it is under investigation for unlawful operation or wrong doings,
- if it is not accredited by one of the seven regional accreditation agencies for higher education in the U.S.,
- if it has high drop-out rate or low graduation rate,
- if it has low student number (like less than 200) and low faculty number, and
- if it has financial troubles.
