I too graduated from that school. I love to help with any and all questioning and lwasuit if any.They actually messed me up on my education and hurt my career. And also helped me into debt by 15,000.

Hi Critterluvr: I was going to FCC in Pembroke Pines in 2005 for my degree. I am also 13,000 in debt because of this craziness. I would like to get in touch with you to get our facts straight and pursue a law suit if any options are available. Please respond when you get a chance.

Thanks,
Kittyluvr

this people are something else I have not started school yet and they already screw up by over charging me over $50 for the registration fee and now my bank is in a overdrawn status I am not happy I will sue this school if they dont pay me every dime back to my bank!!!!

I am so sick of schools taking advantage of people who want to do something with their lives as far as education,and then you have people like the college adminstrators who see nothing wrong! That really upsets me.I just hope that the students don't get caught up in the scam.I really hope that the Dept. of ED. overlook the monies borrowed for the training for these students or give them another oppertunity to attend classes somewhere ele so that they can further their education without holding them at fault!!!! I hope that the school get fined for all that they have done wrong.And I hope that this is an eye-opner to anyone who thinks that they can play with people's lives like this.....

Ah, but you don't understand, unless THEY have control over the schools they can't produce the stupid people they need as sheep to tax and to follow.

This is not a real College, it is a vocational training program...

And there is somehow something WRONG with this?

Just where is our industrial base today?

Good! Time to get rid of this and all the other diploma mills out there. If you want a college degree go to a real college!

Just who determines what a REAL college is?

I would guess that it has something to do with the massive amounts of financial aid they are receiving directly to the school. Maybe fraud or embezzlement?
Taxpayers should be outraged that they are helping finance these diploma mills.

Much as I hate to say it, I agree.
Here's one for you. If you are a young soldier and you are promised that college education when and IF you get out alive, you MUST check the accreditation yourself. If you DON'T, the government will NOT pay for the education they promised you. YOU will pay for it yourself.

Try THAT when you get out of the military as a mere sargeant with little or no money and have car payments. Those bill collectors are like vampires.

I taught at FCC and it was the worst time of my life. It was a waste of time for me and it was a waste of time and money for those whom attended as students... I was told constantly to change grades and to put in test results that didn't exist. Mr Picou and Dahlia Dixon were down everyone's throats. If I would fail a student Ms Dixon would change the scores and have that student pass. Mr Picou just wanted to have them happy so that they can come back for more money. What a disaster of a plce... I stood up to Ms Dixon and guess what ? I was fired... I was actually told that I needed more credits to teach. So I study more and get beyond what the asked for and still won't hire me back, I ask and no one answers. Someone in the GOV has to put an end to this practice

I see the new commercials about FCC and I still don't understand why this scam continues uncontested. Now Mr John Sewell comes out in it when he is one of the main problems there. Because of him many were let go. Because of him many students haven't learned a thing... I wonder how much of a kick back is he getting...
