ITT Technical Institute - Norfolk
Low-quality education uncaring teachers professors expensive tuition scam scandal

Dear Usa Consumer Complaints.com,

I have to say thank you for allowing me to file this report about this deeply, important matter on my prvate school called ITT Technical Institute. However, I do have a financial, educational problem though. I have received my Associates Degree of Applied Science in the field in Information Technology / Multimedia, in Dec from ITT Technical Institute, in Norfolk, VA, along with a 3.38 GPA. I happened to pay almost $38,000 for my education (only for an Associates Degree at ITT-Tech) and yet, I am receiving very, little value of my education. At first, I was VERY DESPERATE to get into any college and earn my degree in the field in Information Technology / Multimedia. Now, I just realized of how I been ripped off through the poor quality of education I received in some of the classes, the
expensive tuition that I am paying for & particular teachers that careless about my education, as me being both the student & customer. I first enrolled in November. I enrolled becuase I wanted to learn how to make websites, graphics, computer programming, video games, movies, music, animations, storyboards, etc. I truly love that stuff. However, some of the classes that I took showed very little appreciation of the $38,000 that I am paying for right now. Also, the school was supposed to help me in
trying to find me a place to live. Apparently, I was lied to. What I expected was the best of the best, state-of-the-art training, hands-on technology, the world's greatest quality of education that I am supposed to be learning from, teachers that really care about your education, and no bulljive. (excuse my language, if necessary). Also, I seen & heard complaints that college credits from ITT Technical Institute are non-transferable.
Second, another sad factor is the ITT representatives tell these new recruits that as soon as they graduate, they are supposed to be guaranteed a job, that is within their profession, in which they obtained that degree in. And it never happens for some or majority of folks, including me. However, I do have to thank career services for keeping me up-to-date, on Job Fairs & job & career opportunities around my area. So, I was wondering if you could have the school called ITT Technical Institute, investigated & why they are allowing these kind of price-gouging, low quality policies to happen to me & us hard-working ITT Tech folks. I am apologizing to myself that I got myself into this educational, financial mess. I could have took this $37,000 and done something very positive with it like either saved it, enroll into Old Dominion University, Norfolk State University, Tidewater Community College or Virginia Wesleyan Univ. Now, that I have thought about it, if I had to do it all over again, I WOULD. I think that this school is choking the life out of the majority of these students (who can not hardly make ends meet) financially and scamming their tax dollars for poor education in some of the classes, or maybe many of them. I'm stuck in a dead-end job that doesn't pay well
(does not care about my number of years being there), and I have been applying for jobs, lately, I had no luck & it feels like that life is telling me, in so many words, to "give it up". But, I am not giving it up. I do not know what to do, except cry, cry, cry.
I feel honored to write to you & I look forward hearing from you. Thank you and may God bless America.

Sincerely,
Michael Alex Murray
