****************WARNING BEAWARE OF FALSE CLAIMS MADE BY THIS SCHOOL****************

When deciding to go to the Art Institute of Pittsburgh I was told by the Assistant Director of Admissions that career services would work closely with you and help you land interviews. To quote him he said ?we will line up the interview and all you have to do is go to them, we can?t do that for you, ha ha?.

This was a bold face lie. All career services will do is read over your r?sum? and give you give you list of over a 100 websites where you can apply for jobs. Most of the websites recommended are completely useless. When I asked about what was promised my career service adviser said she did her part and acted like she was doing me a favor. The Assistant Director of Student Affairs admitted to me that admissions lied to get me to take classes. Also I have been asking around and talking to recruiters in my area, when I told them that school did not even help set up internships for me they were very surprised by this and said any reputable school would have done this to help you break in to your field.

Upon receiving my degree from the Art Institute I was excited to start looking for work. I received little or no help from career services and kept getting phone calls and emails trying to get me to take more classes. They spent far more time attempting to get more money out of me then making due on the promises I was told. I wish they had put all that effort into helping me land some interviews. When finally told them I am taking the degree, I earned, and will be looking for work all communication stopped. Career services and the Director of Admissions the will not return any emails.

I feel with the state that the economy is in right now and so many people out of work that a school would take advantage of this is disgraceful. To be cut off just because I decided not to take more classes AFTER graduation and not to have promises made fulfilled is inexcusable. I should apply to career services so I can have a job where I can do nothing too.

Get out while you can. Don't expect any help once they have your money. Sorry to be so negative, I am only being honest as a graduate.
