ITT

I used to work for ITT tech in their online division. It is all a scam. They purposely enroll students they know will not finish. They purposely charge high prices and keep students' money. In fact they target uneducated, ignorant people who are poor, convince them to enroll, and place them in programs they know they will fail.

I am in the last two weeks of my first year at ITT Technical Institute, am maintaining a 3.9 GPA, and am realizing that it means NOTHING. To be honest I don't even know where to begin. Textbooks are bought, but rarely opened. Instructors are severely disorganized, and quite often make no real effort to teach. One class in particular, was actually never taught at all. Students would arrive, and the instructor would basically sit while we surfed the net, and accomplished nothing. I have had multiple instructors clearly state: If we show up, we'll pass? Yes, seriously, not one, but MANY instructors have said that out loud to an entire class. The instructor to my current Thursday class just told me last week, You don't even need to bother coming to the last week of class, it's not like there is a final exam. Ha! He laughed as if this whole thing is just one big joke!

A's are literally handed out, and I feel cheated out of an education, not to mention the thousands I will owe in student loans. The Dean of Students was actually FIRED during my 3rd quarter. Apparently, too many people were receiving A's in Physics, and the school fell under investigation. There are students who attend with me, who are almost never in class, yet boast of A's and B's at the end of the quarter. This is completely unacceptable, as I work to earn my grades. To know that my efforts have no bearing is just mind-blowing to me. This particular location only offered an Associates Program at the time of sign up, and I am in pursuit of a BA. I asked that important question before I signed anything.

Will credits earned, transfer to other schools? I was told that they would, which is a blatant lie. None of my credits will transfer to a University so that I can pursue a valid education. I am now (suddenly) seeing a little discloser on the ITT television commercials stating most credits will not transfer. This tells me I am not the first to complain, and it finally caught up with them. Unfortunately, it is too late for me. I already owe close to $20,000 in loans to Sallie Mae, who is also the subject of multiple horror stories. I am concerned that there is information regarding these loans that I may be unaware of. I feel completely misguided and betrayed by this institution and its affiliates. Honestly, my goal is to file a class action suit against ITT Tech, as I know I am not the only person who has fallen victim to their scam. There is a website called www.ripoffreport.com that is chock full of complaints.... Thank You for your time and consideration in this matter.

So many things happened I don't have time to explain all of the issues and events that occured when attending this rip off school. The main one is when I asked the school recruiter if it was transferrable to the Cal state system or the UC system. I further told him that in order for me to attend, I require that it is. He then told me that it was transferrable to the Cal state system but not the UC system, and directly transferrable to Cal State Fullerton. This was colloberated by the ITT's dean or director Tim May and he gave me a letter that showed Itt directly transferrable to Cal State Fullerton. I later found all this to be false. There is much more scandal about this school. If interested please contact me. I gotta get back to work right now.

Wasted 2 years on a school that does nothing for me. Stuck paying the huge student loan. I was a victim. They lied and told me this school was transferable to the Cal State system but not the UC system. They further said it was directly transferrable to Cal State Fullerton and even gave me a letter. This was false, I spoke to the supervisor of evaluations and found out it wasn't accredited by the American Assoc. so it isn't transferrable. I am so upset with this, so called, joke of a school. Everytime I see there many, many commercials I just want to throw a brick into my T.V. Its just not fair.
