I am very interested in the fabrication program and befor I meet with the rep I want to talk to people who have been there. Like, what is it like there? What course did you take and how long and what was the price of it?

I hate all your posts. I am also ashamed that you live in the same state as me.

Search. thread after thread after thread on this... I think even one by you?

General consensus seems to be worthless as hell, the only people who seem to defend the school are the ones who havent graduated from it yet.

Community colleges often offer similar programs for a little over a grand per semester.

you're pretty much paying for the name... some of the instructors are decent at teaching, most aren't. Personally, I don't really think it's worth the $22k + interest you're going to be paying at minimum, especially when you can get the same level of education at a community college for half the price. Also, since it's a 9mo course, they try to cram the information down your throat, and you find yourself not actually learning the subjects, but just remembering things for the test and forgetting them a week later.

Now that I'm done being negative, they do a lot for you as far as trying to get you hired when you graduate; they hold a career fair every 3 months, and the ones lately seem to have had a decent turnout (the last one here in Blairsville wasn't great, but I don't blame employers for not wanting to drive to PA in the winter), and they help you prepare a resume. Also, if you take (and pass, obviuosly) the ASM course, you earn an associate's degree as well as a specialized technology degree in whatever your core subject is (3 months for an associate's degree isn't bad at all).

From pretty much EVERYTHING I have ever heard the name doesn't really mean a damn thing to employers.

I think the school CAN teach you plenty, but at the same time you can get a degree knowing very little and employers know this. From what I have heard the Wyotech badge is like being a proud graduate of ITT tech... Not particularly prestigious or meaningful not matter what the commercials or recruiters say.

Again check your local community colleges, a lot of them have very good vocational programs considering they are aimed at people who are going straight off to a "real" school...
