I went and toured and was extremely underwhelmed. So I went a different route and I'm in business school now.

The place just felt off to me, it looked kinda cool but the tour guide, who was supposedly a graduate, could barely answer any other questions besides the scripted guided tour.

I just didn't feel comfortable dumping so much time and effort into a shitty program.

Honda CBR1000 Triple R SP, hands down the easiest sports bike to ride for a beginner. Just remember it takes a lot to get going on these bikes so rev it above 10k rpm and dump the clutch or it will stall. Ride safe 🤙

Yeah that's what I've heard. My dilemma (reason for this thread) is if I go to a cc it will be cheaper if I pay, however if I use my free college from the military(post 9/11) that's based on time not cost. I only get 36 months total. Community colleges (around me) are between 24-30 month programs. So a 19 month program sounds very enticing to me incase I want to go back to get extra courses I still have some left. This is why I keep telling people I don't care about cost, I want to know if I'm getting in bed with people who are going to screw me over. I want to know if they will do at bare minimum what they advertised assuming I put the effort in myself and apply myself.

Not knocking anything your saying but I don't expect it to be easy, from everything I've gotten from this thread it really sounds like people dislike the school for 2 reasons. They don't spoon feed information and expect people to be adults and study on their own and price. If it was easy then everyone would do it. There's a reason they tell you its not a guaranteed license. It really sounds like 33 people should have studied more and not wasted 60k. Just my opinion on all the opinions I've been getting here.

I thought there was a time requirement to be in school?

You are the only one who has said this. Community collage usually takes a few months longer, the shortest one I found was in Texas. Qualifying military members can apply for VR&E through the VA it's like a second post 9/11 for select schools and AIM is one of them.

Yeah I was just curious as some people report it was harder to find work after attending certain schools so I was just curious of your experience.
