The DeVry Institute of Technology - Fremont

Major: Computer Engineering (This Major's Salary over time)
I'd first like to say I graduated with a BS in CET, I'm at a very well paid job now and very happy I'm working for one of the biggest corporations in the world. BUT, that being said…

1) The finance department will screw you over. This is a fact. Talk to any of the students on campus and they'll tell you…

I always seem to have to have a bill for something!

2) You will be in debt. I mean… $7k a semester for full time is not cheap!

3) Some of the teaching is really a joke. All my teachers would literally stop lecturing if their phone rings. Every. Single. One. I've seen it at least once in every class.

4) You can easily BS your way through the online portion. Plus their mandatory postings on the online board even if the class is on site is useless at best.

5) Good luck finding a job in this economic environment especially if you're a graduate from Devry. I had to suck it up for my first 2-3 jobs.

The really only good thing about Devry (this only pertains to the Engineering Department tho…) is some of the professors will bend over backwards to help you! You have to open up and ask questions. There are a few that are extremely intelligent and I cannot rave enough about them.
