'Cause again, when they come and see it and feel it, that usually sells them right there.
The next thing I tell them is that we are a family.
You will be supported, you will be taken care of.
We have all the resources that you need to help you to be successful, and then we talk about our alumni and where they are and where they've been.
And when I talk to the parents, I say, "It's okay to let them go.
We're gonna take care of them.
We have the supports here.
We're gonna be there for them.
This is the best place that they could be."
And you'll be surprised.
You can see the parents just kind of breathe when you hear someone say, "We're gonna take care of your students, we are gonna be there for them."
That's what parents care about the most and we're gonna get them to a job and a degree and out of your house, and so, they really care about that part.
They really like that part.
