I am sorry to anyone who is unhappy with their experience, but in all honesty, Westwood's catalogue states in big bold letters their credits may not transfer to other schools. Also, if I was having to pay 70K for a degree, I'm sure as hell researching the jobs that degree would get me...and a basic yearly Salary from some place like salary. Com. I'm not believing anything someone baaed pressure selling me is saying. Sorry for your frustrations, but signing yourself in tens of thousands of $$$, and sadly your loan cosigner without reading it...and for sure researching the place is just dumb. And yeah, people that make something sound too good to be true are usually the ones I distrust the most! 25K for a diploma, 75K for 4 year construction management? Would a state college charge that much? Damn! Sign your name on the dotted line without looking into it, ESPECIALLY for that insane amount of $$$ and then. Bitch & Moan that you're a victim. Sorry, but you make decision without knowing the facts...that's not entirely the school's fault, & sadly the enrollment agreement you sign states A LOT of the issues & stipulations a lot of these posts you're upset about
Are there people in the admissions process that are deceptive, hell yes. I jokingly refer to some of them as "used car salesmen." But your dumbasses signed the contract without reading the fine print, catalogue or having an outside resource read the paperwork you were legally binding yourself to
Did you ask to audit a class? Did you ask current students what they thought of the school? Did you ask of they were on reporting with any of their accrediting bodies? Did you call other schools to see if they accept credits. Or call local businesses or look up on job websites if the requirements for the job you're going to want to get are available with your degree you'll be getting? Most likely not...you signed a bunch of documents & had no real informed plan
Playing stupid and then acting the victim is just another reason this country is in some of the shape its in...do something without checking out the facts or weighing the outcome of those actions; then blaming someone or something else for your impulsive, costly & ignorate choice...and instead of looking in the mirror and accepting responsibility, your dumbasses wants to sue!!! Sure, schools need some monitoring & admissions process reform...and yes, some profs/teachers are dumb too, but as long as non-responsible, no real plan in place, excuse making vs, fact finding people sign up for "something " that system is going to keep on keeping on
And one more thing, many people who have gone through for-profit schools & have been highly successful ...they are the ones who didn't expect for the rest of the world to stop what they were doing, say, "oh, poor baby, " &listen to the endless litany of excuses...and most likely, they're unemployed too.


sSWERED! I truly am sorry for people who felt they were misled, but damn, it's safe to say some people know more about the loan for their car than for their education. If I was going to invest 10K in an education, let alone 70K, I'm sure as hell

I went to westwood for 7 months and never got any of my maoney back to mne for my schooling and I was told each quarter i had money left over so what can I do to get this taken care of ??? I have seen that there are no more wqestwood college commericals good for that because i can not even get my credit forward to a new college to further my education so what the deal with that !

Strongly agree. Visit westwoodisawful . com to see the real truth. Someone needs to take a stand and shut them down.

Totaly agree. But the commercials run during the day. Sorry. Please visit westwoodisawful . com and see why this fake wannabe college needs to be shut down.
