I had gone to O.C.T.I., a school for women who are either scared of college or otherwise would not go. The first program didn't train me well and let anyone graduate who would show up. I got a form that stated if I returned to them I would get a large discount. I decided to enroll for another program and they denied this discount, even though I had documentation. Worse, they increased the tuition by thousands after I had already started, charging me without informing me. They were so money-hungry that they were trying to squeeze as many students in as possible, some in trailers in the yard, and some with no classroom at all!
I admit there were some very good honest people and instructors there, but for the most part it is a very evil, wrong organization preying on vulnerable young women who think they could better themselves by attending O.C.T.I. They have commercials on every ten minutes designed to appeal to drunk retards with no self-esteem.
They paid their instructors almost nothing, so they had to settle for the worst, as told by an instructor named Laurrie!
She was the most despicable scandalous example of a human being. Harrassing students and other staff members to the point of suicide. One day she just walked out, and her students could not finish their program until a replacement was found. She and another instructor graded according to how she liked you, not on your scores. Financial aid could also be evil. Confusing all of us into paying mysterious fees on top of our huge loans, and would not explain why. O.C.T.I. Is more expensive than Harvard.
I finally finished, way past my time, because I made enough stink and I guess a few kind souls felt sorry for me. I was also dating a lawyer.
Overall O.C.T.I. Was like being in an old horror movie. Nothing makes sense and everywhere you turn is a whole new nightmare. If any way possible, go to a *real college. I mean a state-funded or established private college. Stay away from the Davenports, Career Development Centers, vocational schools and follow your gut.
I know I can't get my money back, I signed a contract.
