Im thinking of going there next year. In not sure what course to pick so help me out.

http://www.itt-tech.edu/programs/

I want to pick something thats going to help me online. Like coding, this helps me a lot. I waste like lots of $ to get people to code for me.

why itt tech?

QualityMpegs · 03-28-2006, 06:06 PM

http://www.itt-tech.edu/onlineprograms/mba.cfm This is what I'm taking, but at a big boy school.

Nookster · 03-28-2006, 06:06 PM

DON'T DO IT!! Total rip-off. They screwed me big time. Now because of them i'm out $8,000. My advice to you is go to a community college or university and get the education that will actually help you in real life.

agree...ITT tech is not going to make you desirable to a company. it is a joke.

Nookster · 03-28-2006, 06:10 PM

The education you get from ITT is extremely watered-down compared to community colleges and universitys. But please don't take my word for it, read for yourself at The Rip-off Report

i've had friends go to CDI (canadian equiv).. 15 grand later, all working phone support. one mailroom. lol.

xlogger · 03-28-2006, 06:12 PM

Forget ITT-TECH then.

Anyone go to devry? (http://devry.edu)

They are actually much more expensive than itt-tech

QualityMpegs · 03-28-2006, 06:13 PM

Isn't Devry the same thing? Why not try University of Phoenix? edit, just to make sure that this is read as a sarcastic comment.

I started going to ITT mid last year for programming. As my second semester was coming to a close they informed me that I "somehow signed up for the wrong program" and was now being forced into a program I didn't want to be in (they even mentioned that the CAD program would be better for me...-I'm a fawking programmer!-). They said there was nothing they could do about it and blah blah blah and mentioned I could wait a year and a half for the program I SIGNED UP FOR to start again. Well, they broke a serious federal law and I reported it to the BBB and local police. I have a pending lawsuit with ITT that i'm not allowed to talk about yet so this is as much as I can say about it.

Eh...like ITT, education is watered-down. Find a local community college or University man, much more worth your time and money.

reginaldo · 03-28-2006, 06:20 PM

i graduated from itt with an AA in multimedia information technology...
i have to say that once the weaklings get weeded out.. by the first year. its a pretty kick back learn shit for yourself type of atmosphere...
one thing i fucking hated is that they use generic text books and don't give you a real 60$ text book for your classes... for 35k 2 years you should at least get some good text to read

Expo_Vids · 03-28-2006, 06:23 PM

Dude, only go to a real college. Those trade schools are scams for the most part.

Funny how you could have went to a community college and got the same exact degree for a fraction of what you paid for it. And not to mention you would have learned much much more.

Right, yeah thats what im going to do.

Also itt-tech sounds boring as hell too. Atleast in a university you can some down time for parties and what not.

I hope you are joking. Check out major universities or colleges near you and take a course there.

mrkris · 03-28-2006, 06:28 PM

Just an FYI, going to school for programming is a waste of time unless you are a complete idiot. Do yourself a favor, goto your nearest book store, spend $200 on a few select books and you will further your knowledge faster. They don't teach you anything except the basic flow of a language. Been there done that.

stroker · 03-28-2006, 06:29 PM

Definately go to a community college or university. I went to a local tech school here in texas (MTI), its the same thing as ITT, but cheaper. I wasnt able to find anything promising after I graduated.

Once I finished MTI, I started going to University of Phoenix. That place is joke. It's basically made for someone that already has a career and needs to further their degree if they dont have the time to go to a CC or University. All you do with them is write paper after paper and dont learn anything about the actual course.

Well, I finally learned my lesson and ended up going to a community college. I'm in debt 10's of thousands for my trial and errors.

woj · 03-28-2006, 06:29 PM

I wouldn't waste my time, go to a community college instead, and then transfer to a 4 year school... it will end up being cheaper and you will actually get a degree worth something...

quiet · 03-28-2006, 06:31 PM

go to a real 4 year university or college.

Yep. That's what I've been doing most of my life so far and am continuing to do. Can't believe I even considderred ITT, let alone going there.

Rebecca Love · 03-28-2006, 06:44 PM

The only thing ITT has going for them is good marketing. And even that sucks!

very true, but im not positive if i would have graduated from a community college..

Rictor · 03-28-2006, 06:47 PM

Go to a real school, employers are not impressed by these technical schools that let in anyone that can pay. They know that they have no standards and no admissions policies.

reginaldo · 03-28-2006, 06:47 PM

hint "you get what you pay for"

Actually that doesn't apply to ITT. If it did you would graduate as a friggin genius in the field.

No way. You pay a grip for ITT and Devry and don't get very much. I've known a few people that have gone to both places and definately not worth. Go to a community college for ~30 bucks a unit and get an A.S. if you want to learn some stuff and get a degree.

quiet · 03-28-2006, 06:53 PM

not to mention going to uni is a fucking blast. was the best time of my life, except for the past 6 months. girls, parties, good times, campus life rules.

BigBen · 03-28-2006, 06:54 PM

Also, go to Borders and buy some books so you can start doing hands on right away.

i meant you are basically paying for your degree and have to do lots less work than community college...

I agree...also supplement college with independent study on your own...this is a major deal.

eddie-executive · 03-28-2006, 07:41 PM

If you wanna learn coding just buy books about it or get them from the library and save a lot of money.

I don't think he is talking about just "learning coding." I think he wants to find a tech job with the type of company that requires a degree.
