In the words of one of our programmers that went to ITT<br><br>"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"<br><br>I would absolutely recommend GRCC over ITT, and if you want to further your education at FERRIS you can.<br>
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.<br>

Davenport is close for me. I live near Kalamazoo and that campus is close to where I work which of course only matters if the particular program is taught there. I am looking into that matter currently. I surprise myself that I never considered Davenport previously.<div>

Dagny's right.<br>
<br>
(And not just because she's my fiancee; if you want the paper, 3-in-1<br>
can be a good way to go. I don't recommend Ferris for the -in-1,<br>
though. I tried that, and then discovered their class scheduling for<br>
my degree program was very inflexible)<br>
