Interior Designers Institute

Academics?????

HAHAHAHAAHA!!! Almost exclusively, instructors are owners of the school...students are wealthy matrons looking to earn "to the trade" discounts..(graduating valedictorian means NOTHING, trust me!). Job placement is a joke, depends on whether Clayton "likes" you or not..(mostly NOT, unless you have a wealthy husband). After graduation (another joke) you can't get them to send transcripts, or get any Info from them at all. (I had to hold back my last payment to them to get my sheepskin & transcripts). This a a "make-a.buck" school designed to pay for the teachers Hummers, Jags and beemers!

Four Owners Teach All Classes

Expensive, each class, in addition to tuition, needed $800-1200 worth if supplies/presentation materials, etc...classes are easy and guaranteed "a" if you are a wealthy teachers pet...otherwise everyone is a "b" unless they decided to blackball you...(AFTER collecting tuition). EVERYONE is REQUIRED to complete "certificate" class ($1000 +supplies) and EVERYONE passes, of course, to gain admittance to AA program...after graduation, you are FULLY QUALIFIED To be a SHOP GIRL! NO EMPLOYERS outside if Newport beach have ever HEARD of this school!!

Go to Orange Coast College

This is a for- profit school, they don't want people who NEED financial aid!! If you can't afford to pay cash, find another school, this one doesn't want you! you will feel ostracized at this school if you need financial aid; the teachers only want to deal with wealthy students, and, if u drive an old car, you will be banned from the parking lot ( I was!)
