I cannot speak about the school, I just attended to a cooking event made by a teacher and his students and got it say, it went really well, the facility looks clean and organized. The event was amazing, the food was delicious, an unique experience. Definitely coming back for another event like that.

Attended 2006-2010. Just like the others said, this is a for profit school. It might seem nice when they are getting you in so quick to sign papers. When I graduated in 2010 I had 50k in student loans. I been paying since 2010 it’s now 2021 and I have 77k in student loans. That’s because the whole time I attended the counselor told me to defer the payments until I graduate. They didn’t explain to me what capitalized interest does over the long term. My $898 a month payment barely pays the principal and interest continues to accrue on top of more interest. It’s a complete scam.

This school lied about accreditation, signed me up for classes without my permission a year before they closed. I am still paying back money they took. This place was underfunded and understaffed. Former students we need to file a lawsuit against these crooks.

Lied about the program, the assistance after graduation, and the job market. One of my teachers fell asleep in his own class while we were presenting our projects. Everyone got a A for that class even people who didn't do the work.

They said that they would give me info on companies hiring they suggested my local copy and print shop for a cashier position. Then I never heard back from the school.

I in major debt. This school lies to you about alot of things just to get you to enroll wiht them. They are not an honest school. I see why a few of their locations are no longer. They need to take away all of the locations for good. Not a good school and tuition is outstandingly high for no reason.

if you are interested in the design programs DO NOT GO HERE. they lack adequate resources to provide you with the well-rounded education needed to be successful(which is of course what they offer). i am an alum, and i can say that i learned for one year of my program, the rest was tired repetition. this is not a place where answers and help are readily given to you.as a student you need to put in what you want to get out of this place. if you are fresh out of high school and want to get into school quickly, you need to know exactly what you want. don't come here just to get a degree, it's too much money to waste your time like i did.

Just don’t do it. Do not give this school a chance. Listen to the reviews they are 100% and not some weird horror story. The true scare is this “school.” This place offers an education equal to YouTube videos because that’s primarily how you will be learning here, in a mostly empty and sad room. Just don’t do it. This school needs to close.

Horrible experience, I attended in 2016, they pre enrolled into more classes then they were supposed to. I dropped the classes before class even stated. Moved few months later to my new House, just to find out 2 years later they claiming I have almost $3000 of debt with that they didn’t even submit until late 2017 to the VA. All paperwork went to my old address so it looks like I was ignoring debt I never knew existed. So thanks to their incompetence, my check has garnished. I’m a single mom with kids and mortgage. After speaking with benefits advisors and them reviewing my paperwork, they’re not even convinced I have close to that amount of debt if any. Thanks a bunch AI
