I wanted to go here (online), so I sent in for an info. packet about their school. One that would be sent by mail. After doing so, I read other people's reviews here about how terrible this school's finance department is and how focused they were on their advertising and marketing to promote the school, rather than use their funding to better the school itself.
It definitely shows, as they have sent me not one, but two large books filled with just weird photos (I'm assuming from projects of the students), with no information about the school, or the courses whatsoever. This isn't just an average book either, as far as build quality. The paper they have printed it on is expensive, it's like a thick card material. Something you'd pay an easy $30.00 for in a book store. It's just a montage of pictures with the school's name stamped all over it. I've gotten better, and well structured information packets from schools such as DeVry university, where you practically walk in the door and get accepted. I was on the fence about this school before, but now I definitely don't want to give them any money, as I probably won't receive a quality, or somewhat decent education from here. If they can't accomplish a simple task of providing me with more details and better info. about their classes, school, and qualifications, then what would make anyone want to attend class here?
