I attended an event at Mt Sierra College on August 27, it was free work shop offering free food (sandwiches) and an IPOD shuffle. At the time I wasn't interested in anything other than occupying my feeling of being bored so I attended.
Where do I began? Not only was this what I deem as a cattle call for those experiencing the distress of, WHAT DO I DO WITH MY LIFE... It was in my opinion (MY FREEDOM OF SPEECH) people being taken advantage of. Before I was taken in a hot class room or took a seat for the initial presentation in the college auditorium, I was given a tour along with a
group of I'm sure what Mt. Sierre College viewed as potential profit.
The tour was given by a man that spoke fast yet very direct stressing the importance how Mt. Sierre College prepares you for industries in, Business, Information Technology, and Media Arts Design. He reminded me of a used car salesman trying to meet a quota. Now I'm a guy on my way to attend an out of state major university to one day become a famous
journalist. Since I was a kid I would watch Dan Rather's give breaking news and new I wanted to be like that. Well during the drive through tour of the school and I call it that because for the money they charge for level of education they offer I would expected the whole building to have been the college. The place could have been one of the smallest
schools I have ever seen. I'm thinking if I could have video recorded this I would have posted it online. The man from Admissions I believe the High School department slipped twice telling us during the tour that he attended college for 6 years before receiving his degree but here's the thing when asked that question again towards the end of his tour he
said 5 years. I asked him if the credits could be transferred to attend a major University he said yes. I later discovered that major Universities don't except there units.
Please avoid this rip off that Brandon Cosio the Sr. Admissions rep and Manager of the High School department is peddling!!! I seriously question if he has a degree from a University. If he doesn't he shouldn't be representing
degrees. Once taken in Mt. Sierra College's auditorium I was appalled and disgusted at how over crowded it was. Hot and over crowded. The Director of Admissions spoke first... Boring I thought as I visually canvased the audience wondering how many people would buy into this rip off. Employers are seeking the best of the best in terms of people that rightly represent their corporations... in other words I mean think about it's a common sense thing why would they higher someone from a school that looks as if they are going out of business.
One of the examples of success stories for there Games Arts & Design program an $86,578.00 education, works at Game Stop in Arcadia. Look on the Mt. Sierra College website, student gallery for Sasha Palacio. For $86,578.00 Sasha Palacio is a Sr. Game Adviser, she sales games at a Game Stop. Do you really want to attend school here?
Our politicians should do a probe on all these privately owned schools that claim that if you attend there colleges they will assist you in finding gainful employment... That claim they offer a more beneficial education as apposed to city colleges and major universities. (don't take out a loan for this education... It's my opinion)..
