In the event you feel deceived, misinformed or neglected by a CEC school: I would suggest you report it with the Better Business Bureau, create a group on Facebook & Twitter and discuss your concerns with students, past students and prospective students (trust me, once you create a group the group will grow quickly) and consult a lawyer.

I'm a past student from a CEC school and have pledged to ensure nobody go through what I did. I owe $80k in federal loans and the monthly interest is preposterous. CEC is ruining peoples lives, dont let them ruin yours. A year of State College/Community College is very beneficial on a resume and for job placement, even if you dont graduate. You will thank me one day.
