Like so many before me my report is the same. I saw advertising  about ITT Technical Institute  on T.V thought I'd  look into attending but had questions first. Would I learn hands on instruction on how to repair computers and Electronics ? I  was told by the school  recuitor that not only would I learn these basic skills but my capstone project would entail building a rocket. 

I Graduated 2nd in my class with Honors, half my degree was based on Computer engineering the other half was electrical Engineering.

We were taught nothing about computers.  When I complained  to the director of Career Services and the Dean of Students I was told that those classes were tought to us by the instutors and I must have been absent on those days. I missed 1 day the entire time I attended this Institute.

I was paying alot for this education I wanted all the information I could get.

Niether of these people could or would provide me with a honest answer Since I graduated both of these people have been replaced. I got an apology from the director of Career Services after she had been terminated. Though out  my education a number of instructors would come and go as well. I experienced quite a lot of turn over in the staff from administration  to instructors.

I was told I would have no problem finding a career in my field as I had done so well in my classes I was a shoe in for many companies, I had 1 interview and I was told I didn't  qualify for the job. It was not for being or having a questionable past history  I have no criminal record of any kind.  I was just told I didnt meet their needs.  

Which now brings me to my Student loan dept I was told by the financial dept at ITT in the beginning  I would have no problems qualifying for Federal loans only. Half way through my education Iam told were sorry but we cant get you only Federal  Loans and but we can get you private loans and the interest rate will be 12% .

The private loans were with Student CU connect  and they were 16.25% not the 12% I was originally told. Then Student CU Connect  tells my monthly payment will be upwards of. 477.00 month and will not except any less than that amount.  If I don't  pay it they will refer it to collections  doesn't matter that I am unemployed that's not their problem. 

Is there any legal  action I can take against either of these Institutions ?
