David Kuper: Those programs are high debt, dismal result.If its one of the Art Institutes run by EDMC (all of them that use theAI logo), avoid them like a plague. They're not an art schoolemployers take seriously. They're an open enrollment for-profit college, they take ANYONE.They just want the financial aid from the government that you areentitled to. The government is now suing them for 11 Billion Dollars which could wipe them off the map easily. They also got hit with ANOTHER lawsuit claiming the same thing!If you ask me, they're an elaborate corporate scam to funnel as manyGovernment Pell grants and guaranteed loans out of students as theycan and leave the students with the bill.The Senate HELP Committee did a 2year investigation and found out the same thing.Ai has the worst drop out rate of ALL for-profit colleges.They're like McDonald's of Art "Colleges". They're a chain that ispopping up everywhere. They buy out dying schools, rename them, keepthe accreditation.Th! ey create programs designed for impulse buyers and quick hits aka uninformed students.They may seem like they would be good, but it is all smoke andmirrors. Pretty building with pretty computers. Meanwhile, it willjust ruin your life.The market demand they say they're meeting is not the demand of theJob market, its the demand of the students. Students that graduated AIare struggling to get jobs and have over more than $50,000+ or$90,000+ in debt depending on what degree they went for. Degrees thatare worthless in the job market.Basically, AI is a degree mill, a total debt factory. They use bloated success stats andcircle logic to back them up.They count students working at Toys R Us as in the field. Avoid themif you want to actually have a decent future.If you really want to pursue your passion, go to a community college,study fine art, and then transfer into a state school. It will becheaper and the money you save you can buy your own equipment andSTILL have money left ove! r for a better future.Their job leads are bogus, they go to Mo! nster, Craigslist, and careerbuilder just like everyone else. Their top employer is HOME DEPOT(Check their own website) and I guarantee none of those are art jobs.Don't make the same mistake my friends and I did. We'll be paying forit for the rest of our lives.If you go with AI you'll be folding clothes at Target or hawking videogames at Toys R Us for $8.25 an hour and struggling to pay $90,000+with bill collectors haunting your every waking moment for the REST OFYOUR LIFE with no way to stop them because there is no bankruptcyprotection on Student loans.Please please please make sure you check out these news articlesbelow. Many are accounts from students, staff, and teachers of AI.Feel free to check YELP ("Filtered results" as well.)What you do with this information is your choice, I just want to makesure you know everything before listening to one of their recruiterssales pitch. Remember, they're paid sales people. Not your friend.College may be expensive but what these g! uys are pulling is straightout highway robbery.Below is a few news articles about different AI's around the country. They're all pulling the same thing.Its EDMC's business model.You will NOT make enough to pay back the loans. They know this. They just want the government money they can pull in your name.Decide for yourself. You have a better chance of winning the lottery than paying back the debt created by these scammers....Show more
