CharacteristicRatingComment
Would Recommend?yesI love it here, it's an amazing school.
Program Reputation10The school's reputation is outstanding. We are one of the top-rated technical schools in the state.
Program Quality8The teachers are great. They seam to be teaching everything you would need to become a computer programmer.
Instruction7After I graduate I'll feel completely prepared to get any job in the computer field. I have learned a lot at ITT Tech.
How Difficult7The curriculum is very difficult at first, until you have learned all the terminology. They try not to put too much on you at one time, but sometimes it can get difficult between work and school.
Hands-On vs. BookishMostly everything we do is hands-on learning. That's why I like it. I don't learn well with just books - I have to have a visual.
Schedule Flexibility6My schedule is set up in the evenings and I always have weekends off. I'm not sure bout the online options but summer offerings are great.
Academic Facilities10The school has an amazing library and there are plenty of computer labs. Advisors know exactly what you need to graduate and they are very good.
Social Life2We don't have any athletic teams so there really is nothing but academics here.
Placement Services9I'm not really sure right now as I haven't graduated and can't get a job in my field yet. I have friends who are seniors and they have gotten jobs in their fields.
Alumni Network10They are very supportive and will do pretty much anything to help you.
Review your current or past school and help others make better career decisions.
