Yah, I wouldn't go to ITT if they paid me. My school is newer ( about 50

regionally accredited. Its not just that well known, but I plan on
getting my masters at a ivy school afterwards.

The reputation of the school is also very important. Don't make the mistake that I made and attend ITT Tech. Make sure the program stands up to the claims that it makes. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ --- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
