    I do not live particularly close to any of PCC's campuses, although this campus is the closest to…read morewhere I live out of all of them. As such, this campus is also the one that I schedule most all of the classes I need to take in order to earn my transfer degree. Beside the somewhat convenient location, I also choose this campus because it is newer, very well maintained, and there's rarely (if ever) any commotion or crime going on. To be fair to the other campuses, I haven't really seen anything out of the ordinary at those ones either. Also, the people--every employee I have spoken to, be it advisors, instructors, learning center and library staff, and police officers have been absolutely fantastic; I sure hope everyone is that congenial at UArizona. The only thing negative I have to say about this campus is that some services are a tad limited due to its smaller-size when compared to the larger campuses in higher-populated areas. The on-site food pretty much consists of pre-packaged sandwiches and salads and some snack items all crammed into the (very small) bookstore. If you want anything more, you have to leave the premises to get it. Thankfully, there are plenty of good eateries within less-than a mile away. West campus on the other hand, has a full-blown cafeteria with pizza, soup, and other hot items besides the usual cold sandwiches and salads. Edit: as of this moment, there are no food options except a single vending machine in the dining area; the bookstore is gone, and student services have been reduced to a help desk and maybe a single advisor. Cashier and accounts payable are gone as well. Thanks COVID!

    I went to talk an academic advisor. I FIRST spoke to a French advisor who time after time is…read moreterrible. She never gives me direct answers to my questions. This time she actually told me "you are bombarding me with questions" I was so frustrated with her I left and asked to speak to a separate advisor. I then got to speak with Patrice and she helped me with everything I just went over with the French advisor and gave me direct and accurate information in half the time compared to the time I was with the terrible French advisor. I don't know why the French advisor is even still employed. Love the school and love Patrice I would give this place One Star based on the French advisor but her colleagues saved her A$$!

    My time at Carrington was very unpleasant.

I endured this, however. I completed my studies at Carrington and went on to deal with a very difficult externship. I was so excited to graduate and walk across the stage. When that day came, I found myself in the hospital after a horrible accident. I reached out to the staff at Carrington and asked them if I could please be given the opportunity to participate in a later graduation ceremony, so I could still walk across the stage and celebrate all the hard work I had put in and endured. I was told that I would hear from Kathy Bailey about participating in the next graduation ceremony. I never heard from her. It has been 10 months. Ive already accepted the fact that I will not be getting a graduation. The robes that I purchased with my own hard earned money are collecting dust and will never be worn. This is my own experience at carrington. I strongly encourage any student seeking to further their education to look elsewhere. Don't waste your time and your energy.

    Whether you're looking at the Tucson location that I attended or any other campus across the…read morecountry, the truth is the same - ITT Technical Institute is a for-profit diploma mill that teaches outdated information on outdated technology and saddles you with more debt than most doctors. This school as a whole is a scam and I wish I had taken the time to research it more before enrolling when I was 18. I wasn't yet aware that there are "schools" that exist to take advantage of their students. These are not the words of a disgruntled student who dropped out because it was too hard. I was a highest honors student at ITT nearly ever quarter I was there. When I wasn't highest honors, I was honors. I left because I realized what I wish I had before. This school is majorly looked down upon in the professional world. What you learn in these walls is not applicable. You will be given an A in this school whether you do the work or not, because they want you to stay and keep paying them their absurd fees for outdated information. They use fear tactics to enroll students; it is right in their handbook, which you can find online with some digging. The lawsuits against them are absurd, including a teacher giving a student an "A" on a paper about preparing noodles, when it should have been written about computer sciences. They hand out "A"s because that is what keeps students there. It keeps them happy and unquestioning until they're out in the real world and realize that there is nothing they can do with the degree. In fact, they'll learn that it is wiser to keep their degree off their resume, because God forbid someone notice that you went to school at ITT. Under no circumstances should you attend this school or anything like it.

    This is my experience at ITT Technical Institute in Tucson…read more I was in their programming and software engineering program. The introductory programming class was taught by an ITT graduate. He read notes verbatim off of a PowerPoint presentation and then assigned exercises from the textbook. If I asked him any questions, he told me to just look in the book. I complained about him to the director and she told me that it was the student's responsibility to teach himself the material and that the classes only provided a framework. She assured me that I wouldn't have to work with that particular instructor again. Some instructors were better than other, but this was the general tone of the place. One of the later instructors, who was actually a programmer, asked us every week, "Did you write a program today?" I get the point that it's something that needed to be done every day, but if I'm paying for the course, I expect the school to at least provide assignments that give opportunities to practice what was taught in class and the school did not. For the last of the eight semesters, I found out I would once again have the incompetent ITT graduate as an instructor. I realized that I was deeply hating the whole experience, not learning very much from it, and that the junior Associates lite degree I would be earning was pretty much meaningless, so I quit seven-eighths of the way through the program and I am still paying off the student loans for this substandard education ten years later. Maybe ITT Technical Institute has improved greatly since 2004. Maybe my program was a weak one and the other programs are good. Maybe the ITT in Tucson was substandard and the other campuses are better. My opinion is that this is a purely for-profit school which preys on young people who have no idea what post-secondary education is supposed to be like. I wasn't especially young and had a lot of post-secondary educational experience, so I don't any excuse for leaving this pathetic excuse for an institution of learning after the first week, but I wanted to pass on my experience and my opinion to any prospective students.
