Rip-Off, Bad Education, Not helpful, waste of money and time

I am filing his report to help other people to not make the decision to go to this school.

I was sent on an interview while still attending school. I was embarrased because I had no training or skiils to even get the job. I was aksed to do a test and I had no clue what to do. This was a job in the field I was studying and that should say it all. Never was I instructed in the current programming or knowledge needed to aquire this job or any job like it.

I remember specifically one day asking my teacher for help with a program I was supposed to be learning and he said he did not know how to use it. Now how can a school charge me over $16,000 to be taught by teacher (s) with no knowledge of the require programs to make my graduation legit.

Furthermore, I now have a huge debt and never even had the skill or the education to go into the field of Commercial Arts.

Bottom line to me is that I paid a lot of money I had to borrow and received the lowest education if you can even call it that. I spent about 75% of the time not even using a computer.instead we were painting and airbrushing and photographing and running in circles with teachers that were not qualified to teach wind how to blow.

I learned enough to get a job in 6 months at another real University and it cost me about $1,000 not $16,000.

I feel that I should not have to pay this money back as I accuse this school of false advertisement and basically pulling the wool over young, unsuspecting people's eyes and some old.

Now in the end, I have a debt that yes if I was educated correctly should have been peanuts to pay back but is something I can't even afford to pay and have no way to obtain the job I paid so much to get to be able to affird this loan.

I feel cheated, lied to and tricked out of what now is a $21,000 loan.

So I should just go on with bad credit and this big unpayable debit that will forever ruin my credit and life all because this school was bullshit and in my opinion lied to me and anyone else in my class.

Thank you and if anyone can help me, please do so.
