WTC is a rip off college

Ok, I should of writing a long time ago, bu here it goes. I would like to express my experience when I attended WTC pursuing the IT degree plan. Please be aware that this is only the IT end degree plan. I can't really say or comment about the other degree plans that WTC is offering. However, I have heard not very good roomers about that other degree plans either.

Ever since I saw the WTC commercials, I was convinced that I was going to actually attend a good college and receive high end hands on training. Unfortunately, I was WRONG! WTC advertises with such BS advertising, for example, "We here at WTC have experienced instructors and helping you prepare for the work world" and "It's college for the real world." WHAT A BUNCH OF CROCK OF CRAP!!! The majority of the instructors did not know anything, and could not teach worth crap. I have had experienced professors teach and you can tell a whole lot of difference. Not only were they not experienced, but WTC could not keep their instructors. When I attended in several of the phases, for one, we had to wait at least two weeks to finally get an instructor and the other phases, we had at least 3 different professors within the same class and phase. WTF!!! Looks as if they are playing "you are it." That is so unprofessional and a waste of time for the students.

Now, when it came to the reading material and hands on training on the equipment, they were really obsolete. Books, OMFG, they were 3-4 years old, the books contained a lot of labs missing and typos. It was really hard to do labs because the next few steps were missing and when completing the lab it did not work. Equipment was another issue. Cisco routers were very old, you can tell the cables they used were very old and were not functioning correctly. The only new things that they would invest in is new desktops. I mean, goodness gracias, $27,000 per student don't you think that would be enough to keep the books and equipment up to date!?

In conclusion, to anyone who might or will read this, I highly recommend to reconsider your decision on attending WTC and pursuing the IT degree. It's a waste of time and money. If you are already enrolled, I hope it has changed, but I still hear the bad ends within that IT degree, so, get out while you still can. Don't do the same mistake I did and get stuck with such a high bill that I forcefully need to pay off for a worthless paper that I didn't even earn from a RIP OFF college. I REGRET ATTENDING WTC! Thus, roomers have said the Electrical degree plan has also been dirt hands on experience.

A note to WTC: You should practice what you preach by what you say on your advertisements: "We here at WTC have experienced instructors and helping you prepare for the work world" and "It's college for the real world." AND STOP RIPPING STUDENTS OFF WITH BS ADVERTISEMENTS! As it is, we are in a situation where the job market is in the whole and with your lousy college performance DOES NOT HELP. We pay top dollar to receive good education, not for you to sit there and get rich. Nonetheless, I hope one of these days more than one student will voice their opinion, as I tried to do, take legal action against you about the lousy services you offer, but it takes more than one voice to take action. You can count me in when that day would be. With the high cost of tuiton you charge EACH student, you should affored better books, equipment, and EXPERIENCED instructors.
