dont go, i graduated in 08. all your paying for is the name. in some ways im glad i went and in others im not. i did learn alot of stuff and met alot of good friends but i did not learn what i paid for. for the most part the instructors are very helpful and some will go out of there way to help you. but the school as a whole treats you like you are 5 years old and cant think for yourself. i am now stuck with HUGE school loans which i can not find a job in this field. do yourself a favor and save 40 grand. go find a shop that will teach you everything you need to know. you will have way more hand on training and wont have the loans to pay back.
Clarify? Thanks!
Also, what field are you job hunting in?

I still stand by my belief that if an individual wants the career, the school can be a benefit. I never said it was the magic bean, but too many children--yep I said children--think that because they log on to a site like Diesel Bombers and can put a cam in their 12 valve or weld on some broken down wore out corn head that they all of a sudden have what it takes to be a heavy duty diesel mechanic, so they enroll in a school and expect to be the next big thing.
It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out the WyoTech program is fast paced and you'd better have a very good working knowledge going in there............a person can blame the school for deceptive advertisement, but just like any advertisement, if the consumer won't stop to think for themselves what do they expect to happen?

they have way to many rules, yes i understand rules are needed but they take them way to far. i imagine they have added a bunch since you have been there.

Secondly, here are the rules as I remember them...
1. Hair above collar length, above eyebrows, no sideburns.
2. Collared shirt required at all times; tucked in at all times while on campus. ASM students required to wear white button up shirt and tie at all times while on campus; jean allowed in ASM.
3. No mustache hair below corners of mouth; no other facial hair permitted. Shave checks performed at random by instructors, usually with notice...
4. Roll call taken at beginning of day, after each break, after lunch, and right before going home.
5. No alcohol or drug paraphernalia on person, or on any school property--this includes the parking lot in your vehicle. Random room searches conducted by housing and or RA in all school owned apartments and dormitories.
6. Foul language prohibited on campus--instructors regulate this one to a point.
7. Leather type work boots/shoes required at all times while on campus.
8. Eye and hearing protection required at all times while in shops.
Any violation of the above can result in deduction of professionalism points, which can account for up to 20% of a student's grade. Amount of point deduction correlates to severity of violation.
Have they gotten more strict since I was there? Again, seriously, not trying to bust your ***** here, just asking questions. Cheers!

im going to go with this idea, its like everything else in life you get out what you put in, im just looking at it to learn a bit more than i do now, and for the experience, i mean i have the opportunity to go so why not give it a chance, whats the worse that can happen? Ive read some of the rules for the campus and some people think they are bs, but really they wouldnt be rules if someone before you screwed it up for everyone else. Ive also checked and they are nationaly accredited. I know im not going to be top dog when i get out but thats life im fine with bustin my *** to get where i want to be in life, hell i would rather work full time and got to school just to get ahead than sit there and say "man i wish i could be doing that", but thats just my opinion
