VERMONT TECH--BEWARE




I'm going to be part of an upcoming class-action lawsuit going back several years against this community college's nursing program. I would STRONGLY advise not going to this school. Most of the infractions and illegal activity is from the Bennington/Putnam location, but the college is in some major trouble for allowing discriminatory practices & misappropriation of funds among other things. All I can say is be very careful before you apply to any program. You never know how unsavory the situation can be. Always ask past students about their experience & look up if there were any lawsuits previously against the school. Good luck to all!

Yikes! That's scary! I looked into Vermont Tech and found their record of graduation, passing the NCLEX, and job placement rates to be at the high end of the field. Can you be more specific about the issues you are going thru? I'm sorry to hear your experience was so bad. I will be going through the Newport site.

I willl (eventually) be going through the Bennington site.
A little more detail would be great, as the highly regarded Dalgal had stated.

Vt Tech is not a Community College per say as much as CCV is. Although both are state administered.
