Bellarmine University's bizarre recruiting billboard [Highlands]

I'd cringe if a daycare mentioned beanbag toss in its literature, never mind a self-proclaimed "nationally recognized university."

Most colleges try to recruit students with promises of preparing them for a productive, worthwhile and profitable future. They boast about eye-opening possibilities to learn about all sorts of fields or study abroad in a challenging yet safe environment.
