I enrolled in IADT to complete my graphic arts degree in 2015. I feel as though the school is deceptively reassuring throughout the recruiting and courses. Students are made to feel as though they will find work in the graphic design field.I was even offered job opportunities by instructors that were never delivered, even after several attempts on my part to follow up on said opportunities. It has been a year since my graduation. Several potential employers have refused to hire me based on the online reputation of IADT. Not because my portfolio or my demeanor, but for the credibility of the school that I attended. I feel very conflicted about paying $25,000 for a 4.0 design degree that is hurting me more than helping me. I am in a tough place now. The design field where I live is extremely competitive. It is nearly impossible to get a decent design job without a degree on your resume. I just don't think it is right to do all the hard work to better yourself, just to have it put you in a worse position then you were in the first place. I hope more people speak up.
I was attending school from 2009-2013. I started noticing I had a balance about a year into school. When I was asking about the balance nobody to the financial aid office I was told not to worry about it. The balance started growing larger and larger. I then kept asking ad still no valid reasons or answers. One day I go to the office and all the department had been fired so I called th Chicago office and spoke with someone and he was able get he balance down some originally then informed he would be on vacation an we would continue with trying to figure things it once he got back. I had spoken to him once more and he needed more information and then I was calling his office I kept getting voicemail for a week so finally I was informed he too had been let go. This all seemed fishy so I spiked to my career advisor she sent an email and they took off $1k. Still leaving me to owe 11000. I wasn't getting answers and then she was also let go. Something isn't right about this and now I have this balance as a collection on my credit reports. This is keeping me from applying for new types of credit.
