IADT Pittsburgh
Utter Rip-Off

I graduated from the IADT Visual Communications program in Pittsburgh in October. I even graduated "with high honors" equipped with some "stage time" to bask in the recognition on graduation day! Wow amazing!!!

However, that graduation recogniton ceremony was THE ONLY benefit I had ever received from IADT. The career services is a sham, the "Dean of Students" or whatever it titles itself is so unworthy and unfit to be in a such position that I can't slam it enough. The education I received was at best marginal.

I don't have anything against any of my instructors in fact, i know every instructor wanted to offer a higher caliber of instruction but iadt had to fill it's quota of graduates which means the instructors had to "dumb down" the courses so the bottom feeding, lowball student majority could "graduate".

Drug use, crime and otherwise stupid, stupid ghetto dwellers walked the halls alongside those who actually wanted to recieve an education. The only reason I graduated "with high honors" is because I intentionally made the projects/classes more difficult than expected by the instructors.

In the end, my credit was ruined due to inability to payback the $20,000 in federal and private loans, it took over 2 years before I got a job in Graphic Design which I landed only because of those years I invested post graduation inventing projects for my portfolio - all the while holding down a fulltime job in a completetly irrelevant field that I only had because I also held a bachelor's degree I earned four years earlier!

All said, my education was so subpar at IADT I feel embarassed even mentioning it on my resume.
