Yes. I was able to learn that he had problems with TESC. It is useful to me to know what issues people are having so I am more informed in my decision when choosing a college.
Quote:What if he were trying to get back at TESC because he was mad or his feeling were hurt? That seems to be a little more likely.
Yes, I agree that's probably one of the reason why he's doing this but that's exactly why this is important. He's just a student wanting to get a degree and TESC caused him so much resentment that he had to start this thread.
Quote:I would say that it is not information or data.
I do because it is helpful to me. So I consider it information.
Quote:From what I understand he was on this forum before he decided to enroll at TESC....and he is still complaining.
I didn't read anything from him on this thread that suggested that to me. How did you come to that understanding?
You said:
Quote:I think I said this earlier but did you read his post? That isn't buyer beware.
He said:
Quote:I didn't start this thread for my benefit - it's too late for me. I am trying to warn others, before they make the same mistake I did.
So I do believe he was also trying to warn others by talking about his experience.
Quote:Can you imagine if I started a post that said ... Again the reader would feel cheated because I haven't really said anything useful.
I for one would think it would be an useful thread. I wouldn't feel cheated at all, unless you were lying about the reasons. I actually think it is even more important because most people write when they are angry at a company but rarely start a thread saying how good a company is UNLESS they are directly rewarded.
There was another thread trying to compare the costs differences between the colleges. Would you not have found a thread like that useful. I did. So too will a thread that discusses the advantage of a college if it was from real students and not just employees of the college.
Quote:I like it the way it was...people making useful, productive, and truthful comments for the better of everyone else.Do you really disagree??
I understand you not wanting most of the threads to be like this one but people who has issues with TESC will probably just add to this thread so I see every other thread becoming like this, I don't see an issue. Besides, if the companies provide good service, there shouldn't be many threads like this. Which is what we all would like, no?
