I'm sick of reading from adjuncts or sales staff about their current students. Go talk to some that graduated 5 years ago and ask them about nonstop nuisance calls, collectors, and demolished credit that means they will never own a house or get... — read more
Students being bilked on the way out?
Two of my former nursing students are graduating the program now. They say that they are so ashamed of ITT Breckinridge that they may not attend the pinning ceremony scheduled for Sept 9. Also they are afraid that employers will not accept them as... — read more
$150 Demand from DoE = No Teach Out!
I believe the demand for an extra $150 million within 30 days from the August 25th date of the letter from the DoE essentially means there will be no money left to "teach out" the remaining students! The DoE clearly knows that ITT will not be able to... — read more
This *used to be* an amazing school
ITT Tech did indeed have a very respectable past having been part of the Sams technical publishing house at one time. It is sad that it succumbed Modany Mayhem. http://www.fundinguniverse.com/company-histories/itt-educational-services-inc-history/
This is an amazing school.
I have been with ITT for about 2 years and have enrolled approx 100 students. I was layed off 2 months ago and my family has suffered the consequences. Why you ask? So Barrack Obama can finish his witch hunt before leaving office. I have been forced... — read more
State Colleges & Junior College Tuition is Partly Funded with Your Tax Dollars

The VA students will NOT get back any of their tuition or VA benefits!
Veteran students will not get back any of the VA benefits they've used at ITT. This is a VA rule. Unlike other students, there is NO loan forgiveness for Veterans! My Veterans are very angry at the DoE! They want to be at our campus! No one has... — read more

If ACICS Revoked Accreditation At The Meeting?
Say ACICS took action to withdrawal accreditation at the August meeting and ITT had 18 months to find new accreditation. Do you think the DOE would have taken the same path that was laid out on Thursday?
I left the company only 5 months ago. I was a recruiter. We were held to the strictest of compliance. Job stressful but students great!
I was 3rd party shopped and got an excellent review. Kudos above my campus would have been nice. No support from above. We never coerced a prospective student, ever. I was shopped and did great on review. I left because leads were awful and we had to... — read more
ITT Tech Going Bankrupt
Sorry to say all -- the combination of HCM2, no new enrollments and another $150M in LOC means ITT is going BK. The DOE rules will not allow any severance, so I suggest starting to look today for a new job. I do not mean to be harsh, just a realist.
A career I have always been proud of
As Acting Chair for Drafting and Design and the Dean of ITT Fort Lauderdale, I couldn't be more proud of our Sept associate drafting graduates. I just watched their Capstone presentations and they were brilliant. I cried like a baby for their success... — read more

Is ITT Tech closing now?
Is it over now. This is kind of what Corinthian went through, so, really, I'd say it's game over for us. I wish I left much earlier, this is really horrible and I hope all of us find something else quickly. It was a painful ride last few years, and... — read more
