<p>Hey im Vince i am 19 currently attending ITT tech.</p>
<p>I was wondering if any one has experience in transferring out of ITT into a State run university, the credit transfer doesn't matter because im only in my second quarter,</p>
<p>The reason im transferring is because i have been reading some extremely negative things about people trying to get jobs after they graduate, also 95% of the people in my school are in their mid 30's and after all my high school ROTC buddies joined the army im all alone now and i just need a place with people my own age.</p>
<p>My current Pel grant and student loans tally up to over 80k with itt and the state run university is less then half that so if i graduate from a university i wont have to wait tell im 50 to be debit free.</p>
<p>I know that schools in MN don’t generally accept credit from “Non-MNSCU” institutions, ITT tech would fall into this category. I would think that most states would be similar especially in nationally accredited programs like ABET certified engineering programs. If none of you credit’s will transfer I would be inclined to believe that you would be able to apply for freshman admission, seeing as you would have few if any transferable credits. If by chance they do accept your credits you might get in as a transfer. For what it is worth I would encourage you to get out of ITT tech and into a state university ASAP. I have read plenty of horror stories from people who graduated with ITT and similar institutions with $50k plus in debt with no job prospects. I have been lead to believe that even an associates degree from an accredited technical/community college is better than a degree from ITT. But take that with a grain of salt and do you own research. You really need to contact the admissions office at the University you want to attend and discuss this with them as they can provide much better advice than I can. $80k worth of student debt is a big deal, if state would be cheaper for you than there are 2 very important things to consider. First, the education at state will be much better and your job prospects will be higher. Second, state is cheaper for you according to you post. So that means you can get a better education AND spend less money on it. Sound’s like a win-win to me.</p>
<p>I agree with mechmark; for what you’re paying for ITT, you won’t get nearly the recognition you deserve. Get out of there as fast as you can.</p>
<p>My husband went to ITT Tech and graduated back in 2008. I know for a fact that there credits won’t transfer to any type of reputable university. A college needs to be regionally accredited in order to transfer. Try re-starting at a local community college or an in-state university. ITT tech’s tuition is outrageous, after seven years of my husband consistently paying on his loans he is still 90k in debt. To put things in prospective the average loan debt of an in-state university where I live is 25k for graduating students. This gives you an idea of how ridiculously high ITT Tech’s tuition is. I am personally attending an in-state university and I have not regretted it for on minute. I too got suckered into going to an expensive technical school, but luckily three out of four classes transferred to the university I am in. Next, year I am thinking about going to graduate school after I finish my BS in Sociology. Almost all reputable graduate schools want the university you obtained your bachelors from to be regionally accredited by one of the six accrediting institutions. My advice, is to cut your loses because a lot of students end up graduating and then find this out. Employers will be very skeptical of hiring an ITT tech grad even if you manage to get an interview.</p>
