Do not go to DeVry. I am a former student of that **** hole and I will tell you the only thing that happens there is you get raped in the wallet while attending sub par classes with professors who half the time are learning the material the same time they are teaching it. Not to mention their "Guaranteed job placement" promise is a sham, you are lucky if you get an interview with a company two or three years after you have graduated. Nobody looks at a resume seriously if they see DeVry or ITT Tech on it, most employers will think you went the quick route and didn't spend enough time learning the material. If you want to get into game design or any field with computers, look for a better college than DeVry.
DeVry = ITT with a shinier name. I don't even live there and I know this.

Ya I want to spend a couple years trying to learn some Uscript and texturing before I even think about looking at classes and I comprehend cheap places like the ones you mentioned are worthless... but at the same time not many palaces look at accreditation,they want to see your skill or track your reputation.
Mmmm BBB

so so not accredited with the BBB 2 or 3 complaints
I'll give ti the benefit of the doubt but frankly...its more like a step before you go to a real collage/degree....

Accredited enough to now they now require all students to take general education classes such as history, math, and English with their major classes. Whereas before it was just classes focusing on what field students were going in to.

If their **** is the same as ITT, they essentially just have an agreement with two or three colleges, and they use this as evidence that they are nationally accredited.
Of course, call any other college and even MENTION that name and they will tell you "haha no"

It is funny that close to zero of the credits you earn at DeVry are transferable if you try and go to a different college.
Tell me about your time at DeVry. I like reading about how much ITT fails but I don't hear too much about this one.
