ITT Technical Institute in Norfolk is a fairly sloppy school. There are a few really good teachers there, but most of the instructors are unruly and some even unexperienced in the subject they were teaching. It wasn't uncommon for students to prove instructors wrong. I remember a couple of instances where the instructor came into class not knowing the day's lesson. With the acception of career services, the faculty was actually nice. Career services didn't try very hard to help us find jobs. They only found jobs that were easy to find and only for certain programs since some programs had jobs that were harder to find. After graduation career services then started bugging me about getting a job. It seems like they didn't care while I was in school to help me find a job, and when I finally graduate they call and bug me to see if I found a job so they can boast about how "successful" their job placement program is. Take a tour and ask about their placement program. They also promised that we would be working with the same type of equipment that we would in the real-working world. This is untrue. All the multimedia program had was a digital camera small enough to fit in a jacket pocket. No green screen and dated computers with the minimum capacity to run the programs needed. Multimedia students and teachers even proposed many different and easy ways of attaining the equipment, but the heads in charge of the school wouldn't go through with them. I don't know much about other programs but I know the networking and multimedia (probably all of the Information Technology courses) aren't worth $35000 for 2 years.
