  Terrible school! Run away as quickly as possible!! I'd give them zero stars if I could. I made it to my final year and had to take 4 AutoCad classes before graduating. In my beginning class, the instructor was a complete jerk who didn't have any interest in helping the students and would become highly irritated if you asked for help. Eventually I got help from a top student in the class and hard core busted my butt, doing 12 hr days, once a week on my homework to bring up my C+ midterm grade. (This was the only class there I had ever received below a B in). At the end of the semester, the instructor told us we were the best class he ever had and wasn't giving us a final. He specifically singled me out, along with 2 others who were new to AutoCad and told us how proud he was upon seeing our tremendous improvement. After all that, he gave me a C- in the class -- lower than what I had mid-semester!!! Needless to say, I was pissed!! I went to the head of the interior design dept. and the Dean of the school to get the situation dealt with, and all they could say was "Sorry, but the way they grade limits them to how many of each specific letter grade they can hand out per class". So basically, it doesn't matter if you did A or B work, if there were others who also did it, but just a little bit better, or others who were preferred over you, then you automatically get bumped. They refused to change my grade and I still had 3 more AutoCad classes to take with this jerk, so I ended up leaving the school. Other students also left at this time, tired of dealing with rude, immature instructors -- some even using degrading names, towards their students, and there were at least 3 students with lawsuits pending against the school. They also had lied to the interior design students about being accredited and had a mediator coming in every week to handle disagreements between students and teachers. As for the few good teachers that were left, most had planned on leaving by the end of that year. This is by far the worst school I've ever attended, and they don't deserve the $12,000 they charged me to attend it. They don't even deserve $12.00, so save your money and go someplace far more worthy and better accredited!
