Westwood college screwed me! I signed up wanting to get my BA in bus. Mgmt but could not go to a traditional school and i wanted to graduate in 2 years not 4. When signing up I was told the school would be behind me 100%. If i lost my job they would help me get another they had ties with the community. If i needed rent money they could help me. I was more concerned with tutoring... I was told they had awesome tutors that could help me 24/7. Everything sounded Legit... WRONG!!! After 2 months at the school i noticed things and started researching the school. I called many perspective employers that would hire me with a degree all over the US. Once i mentioned "Westwood" the conversation went south! I was told not once but in EACH call that they did not hire from Westwood that the school was not traditional and they did not believe in there teaching practices. Well i took it to heart for then. Almost a week after i lost my job... I went to student services where they gave me 3 sheets of papers FULL of employers. After looking at these ads i noticed a similarity. After more research i found out they were ads copied directly from Craigslist!!! I stormed back into the office demanding answers, they had none for me. Furthermore they do not have ANY ties with the community it was just a ploy to lure me in!!! I went to my counselor who also had no answers for me. Later that day i went to get tutoring for math... It was not "one on one" it was a class full of kids and 1 teacher??? By the time he got to me he breezed through me and went on to the next! I was again peeved but knew this was the "Westwood Way"!!! I tried contacting lawyers but I did not have $4000.00 to take on my case and now i owe the Govt $14000.00 for my 3 months in school! I wish i would have known about complaint before signing up for school! Its Ok Westwood is going down!!! Rocco Gambino
