Westwood College – DuPage

I attended Westwood College in 2000, I was one of their first classes in Woodridge Illinois. This whole place is an utter scam. They lied saying the would be accredited in a year, which I believe there stil not. The teacher was a joke, and the campus just didn’t care after they get you locked in to all the student loans. The best part of this is that 13 years later I’m still paying on this bill, but cant use or transfer any credits to any other college due to them not being accredited. So basically the only thing that will transfer is the bills!!! Stay away! I can’t believe this place hasn’t been shutdown yet!

One of the worst mistakes I’ve ever made, take this from someone that went here. I should of written this review a long time ago, so that no one will experience what I’ve been through with this school. I left here 5 years ago and till this day every time their stupid commercial comes on, I want to throw whatever is in my hand through the TV screen. Look first your going to get in, they make it seem like it’s hard and that thier selective, it’s not, then your going to get approved for loans, because that’s what this place does they except everyone, charge you for an education that no one is going to recognize, I don’t tell people any more that went here. Do to the fact that I’m tired of being laughed at. All this place wants is your money, if you want to go somewhere else after, forget about that, no one excepts their credits and if they tell you different ask them for a list of schools, watch the reaction on their faces, then they’ll proceed to tell you they don’t know, you have to look it up yourself. I just applied at a real school and requested my transcripts, this is the only school that still after calling for months hasn’t sent them even after I get off the phone with them and they tell me they’ll send them right over. This so called college is GARBAGE, oh and one more thing when you bring up concerns about their reputation, they’ll tell you that was before and now they have changed, trust me they haven’t, was bad then and is bad now. I’d give them a –5 if I could.

People seriously do not join this school. You will not learn anything. It seems like the students know more than the teachers. I wouldn’t recommend this school to anyone. While you’re in school they give you a set price for your associate degree and then within a couple of months they tell you oh, it just went up so you’re going to have to take out another loan for this much money. Unbelievable. I didn’t learn anything just an experience.
