    I read everything on their website and it sounds like a pretty legit deal to me. I didn't notice anything out of the ordinary to watch out for, I would just make sure they hold up on their end of the deal for that much money. Other than that, I say good luck to you and wish you the best!

    Thanks a lot Roadhound, i guess i just wanted to here that from someone else so i can feel a little more conifdent about this whole deal, with as much terrible things you hear about schools and companies its hard to think "it wont happen to me", i guess the legit opertations just dont get the press they should, or maybe the bad to good school ratios are really that off kilter. anywho thanks a lot for taking the time to give me a hand. Take it easy and be safe.andy

    I looked at it too. Just remember schools are like companies. They need applicants. Site looked OK. There was no mention of the companies they place with. (100% placement) That caught my eye. Pretty bold statement unless some are fly by night companies. I would check around at the companies you are considering and ask if they hire Grads from that school. Good luck. Be safe.:mcool:
