The Art Institute of Salt Lake City

Absolute degree mill. They do NOT care about students, no matter how friendly they seem when trying to lure you in. If you have physical problems, some of the chefs will make fun of you in front of the classroom, others will call you fat and lazy and one in particular thinks she runs the school and is beyond nasty. These people forget they are not chefs in the real world, but teachers. They treat you like they are Gordon Ramsey, how does that foster learning? The few nice ones are run over and beaten down by those that feel they are superior. Some chefs spend classtime playing around with food for their own outside interests and will pull students from the assigned classwork to help them. When questions are asked, students are often made to feel stupid and unworthy, if they cannot remember the answer. Financial Aide is untruthful about monthly payments, they will balloon after 6 months and if you cannot pay the amount, you are kicked out of school. Know quite a few people personally that were kicked out 1-2 classes shy of graduation for this reason, most schools would work with you. But the students that are stupid, lazy and don't care are allowed to continue in school and are often celebrated and favorites of the teachers. I would have learned more from staying at home and working through the Betty Crocker cookbook.

I currently attend this school in the fashion retail and management program, and it is horrible. None of the teachers are qualified, they should NOT be teaching college level, especially for the cost. The counselors don't listen and teach several of the classes which creates quite the uncomfortable atmosphere. I have been here a year, and have wasted my time and money! I would not recommend this school to anyone!
