Student/Alumnus Reviews of Schools for This Career and State
Vincennes University • Vincennes, IN
Studying Automotive Technology (completion in 2010)

"I was pretty satisfied. I think it is a good school and I would recommend it to other students. They get you in and out in 2 years, which is a nice alternative to a program that drags on."
Ratings are on a 1-10 scale
| Characteristic | Rating | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Would Recommend? | yes | Overall it was a good school, and I did learn a lot. It is small, which was important for me because I knew the classes weren't going to be to crowded. |
| Program Reputation | 9 | From what I understand they have a very good reputation. That is one of the reasons I choose to go to this school. |
| Program Quality | 8 | The classes were very well put together and I learned a lot. However I felt like I was at a high school of sorts. They don't treat you as adults. |
| Instruction | 9 | All of my teachers were great, and really knew what they were talking about. There were a lot of hands-on demonstrations before we actually went out and worked on a customer's car. |
| How Difficult | 7 | The automotive classes were a breeze because I had been working on cars for years before attending school. The general education classes were difficult for me. |
| Hands-On vs. Bookish | We had equal time in book/classroom work as we did with shop time. It was always easier for me to learn about it in class and then go perform than vice versa. | |
| Schedule Flexibility | 10 | One could make the schedule fit just about anything. My second year of classes were able to fit around my full-time job. |
| Academic Facilities | 10 | The auto shop was pretty amazing. They had everything that you need to learn there. The library was well-stocked and there was always a staff member to help if you needed it. |
| Social Life | 8 | It is a somewhat small school so it's much easier to meet people. They hold many social events through the year to get everyone together. |
| Placement Services | 2 | I was told there was no help with job placement. They do help you try to get your ASE certifications which I guess is helpful for future job placement. |
| Alumni Network | 7 | They keep very good track of alumni events and such. They created a Facebook account to get the word out more easily. |
