Vatterott College Subpar Education Sunset Hills Missouri
The education I received at Vatterott College in Sunset Hills Missouri was not what I expected it to be. I took a building maintenance course which was divided into different sections like Carpentry, Electrical, HVAC, Plumbing, and Electrical Motor Repair. I went to the college for 1 1/2 years and the hours were from 8-1 Monday thru Thursday. First let me say that I feel the classrooms were overfilled and only 1 teacher was not sufficient to teach all these young minds. Second of all, there was not 1 day out of the year and a half that I stayed a full day of 8-1. All the teachers I had would let us out as early as 11 but not later than 12 when we were suppose to attend till 1 everyday. I feel I lost a lot of learning hours during my studies because teachers didn't keep their end of the bargain.
I also was on the Deans List and had Perfect Attendance during my time at the school. The facility also had a shop which was not up to par as far as technology goes. During my attendance our class was insturcted to move all the gas and electric furnaces over to a new facility they were buying which is not a great way to be educated in my opinion. The testing was another problem at the school which included cheat sheets for every student in the classroom. I never seen where the cheatsheets were coming from but as many as there were floating around I had to suspect the teachers were passing them out every semester. I'm not kidding, cheat sheets that were word for word on the test.
So much wrong with this process, the only jobs available after graduating were entry level apartment jobs that didn't offer a decent wage and overworked the technician everyday. Not my idea of a career job and no follow up with me to see if I needed job placement or just if I needed any assistance in anyway. My cost for the subpar education is 30 thousand dollars. I have not landed a decent job since graduating and I don't plan on it either. I can only see me defaulting on this loan no thanks to Vatterott.
