Devry... Useless?


Question Posted Tuesday November 9 2010, 12:04 pm

Ive been going to devry for about 2 years now, I can honestly say that I have hardly learned anything.
-They are extremely unorganized in everything they do.
-I commute an hour and a half to get to the school.
-One day they tell me they have dorms, the next they tell me dorms wont be ready till november. Now they are telling me I can move down but have to move in with people but Im supposed to be moving in with a friend.
-I cant even walk into their student help office without flipping out anymore.
-I feel like Im wasting so much money for this crap.
-Classes are useless, 8 weeks of programming, 1 day a week...wtf am i supposed to learn there!?
-Im getting so unfocused because of how cruddy things are going.
-I went to a highschool that told me Id never go to college anyway...maybe you've heard of west milford highschool. Now I get put in classes in college I have no knowledge in. AKA Chemistry.

I dont know what to do, I feel like Im stuck at devry. The credits from devry mean almost nothing outside of the building. I really need help before I waste more time and money at this excuse for a college.

If you dont mind please respond to my email or on here.

I've heard cases like this many times. Almost always it comes from people attending "for profit" schools. Devry exists to make money for the stockholders who all own a piece of the school. If anyone happens to get an education along the way, great, but that's not their main concern.

Check with your nearby community college to see if any courses will transfer.
