When Tech Schools Go Bad?
profet asks: "I am currently in the middle of my senior year at Polytechnic University. When I began my journey here I was told by all that it was a good school. Since attending I have gone through much discomfort. The University decided to close down the campus that I attended. Then they decided to change course requirements so that they no longer offered courses that were required for graduation. After talking to others in college it seems that being 'shafted' is common at tech schools. I was wondering how others have faired at their schools." For those who found themselves in this situation, what did you do to resolve your issues?

The name should have given it away immediately. In Britain at least, the term "polytechnic" is synonymous with poor-quality education - so much so that a few years ago they all renamed themselves to try to blend in with the real universities and colleges. Still, everyone knows which are the ex-polys and the stigma remains. If you want a good education, go to a place with a bit of history, 100 years or more, because you can trust that it knows how to maintain its quality.
