Not so bright
ITT was a ripoff. The recruiter told me that the credits would transfer which they did not. I have attempted with 5 colleges and so far no. I have went through almost all of my financial aid due to the $40,000 dollar Associates Degree I received that no one even takes seriously. If you are thinking about attending think again. I was forced into taking a private loan out through their company that only defers if you attend another ITT no other school they won't. Think again before going here. The loans I owe have ruined my credit as well

Quite Bright
This is the nuts and bolts of ITT Tech. You're going to pay $40,000 for an education that is going to yield you in most cases $10-$12/hr w/no benefits. Some people maybe $15/hr and maybe 1 or 2 people in your class will do better than that. This is speaking for a computer networking degree around Buffalo NY.Now, you can go to a community college for much less than that and have your credits transfer to a 4 year school where that degree will make you much more marketable/desireable to perspective employers. You will have 98 credit hours upon completion here with a 2yr occupational studies degree. Now that being said, a normal A.A.S. degree is 60 credit hours, I never understood why they would make you take 38 more credit hours for the same degree...oh yeah, it's because they want the most money out of you they can sqeeze out, they are a FOR-PROFIT school meaning essentially you're just a number and do whatever they need top do to get you graduated and plump up their numbers making them look good. I had people in class that never came, never tried, never did anything and they still passed. NOBODY ever fails at ITT tech, what's that tell you? So once you graduate if you're almost certainly going to receive a menial wage job offer then have to start making the enormous monthly student loan payments from this huge debt you accrued from here.You're credits don't transfer so if you want to further your education you'd have to start all over essentially. Bottom line..it's not worth it in the slightest bit. You may read how people love it, it's probably because they haven't graduated yet. You may read how one person makes all this money from their education there, they're either lying or they are the 1 or 2 people aformentioned here that did actually score a good job, like I said you will probably not be one of them. I went to school with people who were absolute genius when it came to computers or just in general, what did they get?..10-12$/hr. You don't have to take what i'm saying to heart, you can go there and find out for yourself and chances are you're going to be very sorry...the choice is yours. I just wish I would have done more research on here before I went, now I'm the one who's sorry and I graduated with a 3.96 GPA and busted my hump for it.

Super Brilliant
Hi all, There are many different attitudes that you can take as an approach to education. You can be one of the losers that breeze through and are only present to satisfy someone else. Then there are those that are there, competing every day, challenging themselves to get 100% on everything and anything possible, and taking the time to understand the material. If you are not one of these people, you will not be successful at ANY university. I had my bad moments at ITT, trust me, I got an Instructor FIRED for being an idiot. Yet, regardless, it is because of the education I received at ITT that cetain doors opened. I followed up the A.S. with the B.S. program, and got promoted from a Technician to an Engineer (With some work and convincing). I have worked hard to learn all the things that were not quite presented so well, and have found success. I make a extremely competitve salary, and have not had any issues getting a job. I graduated Valedictorian from my programs, and it has paid off.

I do understand that there are those that have been pushed to graduate, and thrown into the world to make it more challenging for the individuals who are valued. I feared this as well, seeing some of the products that graduated, I felt the need to prove myself. But if you think about it, there are many idiots at EVERY school - graduating.

Instead of going on and on: I did not think the value of education was great, but it does give you the opportunity and edge to get ahead in life, if you apply yourself properly. Learning to find answers is better than having to memorize all the answers.AK
