High-Tech Institute They ripped me off! Nashville Tennessee
I started to attend High-Tech Institute in September of 2001 for a computer networking degree. When I first went to sign up for classes they told me that the degree was accredited and I could have transfered to any other school after I graduated from High-Tech. It was all a LIE! The lady who spoke to me told me that they will assist me on finding a job after graduation, they never did anything. She told me most of their student go on to find 50k+ jobs when they graduate, how stupid I was to believe them.
The teachers there were horrible. They rarely came to class on time and most of the technology equipments in the lab were outdated. A lot of the times they did not have the right lab equipments for the students to complete a lesson.
Now I am stuck with a 15k loan that I am unable to pay off because I cant find a job working in my profession. If I were to find a job in my profession, I would not have the necessary skills to perform that job. High-Tech does not teach you anything at their schools, all they do is lie to you.
My teachers gave the answers to 99% of the tests they gave at that school, that was the study time. A day before the test the teacher goes over the exact test and gives you the answers to the questions, all you have to do is memorize them.
I wish a law suit is filed on High-Tech. I will give any necessary information needed to do so. People are still being lied to there and it needs to stop.

I used to work at HTI-Nashville. Although the prices are high for a private, tech school like HTI, it is well worth it if students utilize all the resources available. I know HTI went through a difficult period after I left due to change over in the school leadership and under review to keep their credibility for their accreditations. I worked in two departments--admissions and graduate placement. It is directly built into the presentation that all credits will not transfer to other colleges. It is determined by the college to which the student is trying to transfer...just like all other colleges (private and public). As for not being able to find a job, that is hard for me to believe. I placed numerous students in the IT/MIS field personally. HTI has a great relationship with Dell which offers students a great stepping stone into the career they really want.
HTI is not perfect but neither are other schools. It's like buying a car, a house, etc. It's a huge investment so be sure to really listen to your admissions representative, understand the process and be committed to the program and resources available to you no matter what educational program you choose.
