[GRLUG] Is ITT Tech a Good School?

[Ben DeMott]

In the words of one of our programmers that went to ITT

"I went to school, spent 42,000 dollars, and learned almost nothing.  Now
I'm out of school, and get paid to learn actual skills"

I would absolutely recommend GRCC over ITT, and if you want to further your
education at FERRIS you can.
A school is all about it's professors.  If you there are truly independent
and original professors that know how to teach - and have ACTUAL real world
experience in their field - it doesn't matter what school you go to you will
learn more than you ever could from individuals that are only teaching a
course so their college can offer it to students.
