International Academy of Design and Technology Reviews

  • Nov 12, 2018

I attended IADT (International Academy of Design and Technology which changed it's name to Sandford Brown. I graduated with a BS in Game Production and Design. They promised that I would help me obtain a job in my field of study and be fully employed after graduation. I have not been

able to find a job and have been receiving phone calls from collection agencies regarding a debt I owe to the school. I also have mounting student loan debt from this school.

This company scammed me out of $40,000 and signed me up a Sallie Mae Loan for 240 payments and is illegitimate.

I am not making payments going forward to them. I stopped my payments last month when I realized it was a scam.

Attended IADT Chicago between 2006-2011, graduated with an assosciates degree, walked at graduation. Prior to graduation ceremony, signed a release form stating I owed the school $0. After graduating I received a bill in mail saying I owed the school (seperate from my education loans) about $3,900 and was due upon receipt. I finished paying off the $3900 debt in 2015. As of Oct 2nd 2017 I have yet to receive documentation of my assosciates degree. I also have attempted to have my transcripts sent to me via parchment.com as of Sept 13th 2017 and have not received that document. I have located several phone numbers in an attempt to speak directly to a person representing IADT or Sanford Brown to see if any issues remain that I can resolve so I can have my degree and transcript sent out and have been disconnected each time whether from a person or a recording. At this time, Oct 2nd 2017, I have found no email address or direct line to be in contact with any representative or employee of either college so as to resolve this issue.

I attended IADT - Tukwila, 2009-2013. Upon enrollment, I was promised and sold on the career placement statistics after graduation. I never received career placement training, interviews etc. It wasn't until after a year that Sanford Brown (formerly IADT), emailed ONE advertisement for a career fair, at which point I was already gainfully employed in a different industry.

Most importantly, IADT is no longer the college name, they are now Sanford Brown College, whom are also closing their doors!!! I have almost $70K in student loan debt, from a school that no longer exists!!! How does that help me, moving forward with my career? It compeltely discredits my success and reputation of the school, that I supposedly graduated from.

I attended the International Academy of Design & Technology so I could obtain a degree in, what was supposed to be, graphic/web design. I attended classes for a few years and almost finished up my degree. Before I was able to obtain my degree, IADT decided to make the degree separate from each other; meaning graphic design would be one degree and web design would be another. So, what this meant for me was I had to make a decision on which path I wanted to go on & take many more additional classes that they added into the curriculum. This meant a whole lot more money. It ended up that I could not even receive any more loans through FAFSA to attend school, so I never did receive my degree. I had a family I was hoping to better support with this degree & IADT made it impossible! I regret this to this day that this happened and feel angry that IADT put me in that situation.

We went to IADT Pittsburgh Pa to look into my son possibly attending this school. I explained to the girls in charge that I would not be able to co-sign for any loans because I had no income and it would be denied. They made me (as a mother) feel really terrible about not trying. They convinced me to fill out the application even though i believed it would be denied. The next thing I knew the loan was approved, I was stunned and could not figure out how it could be approved with a zero income. It took me a long time to figure out what they did. I filled in the application and stated that I had a zero (0.00) income, I was fighting for disability benefits and even if I eventually got approved for disability i would only be receiving 600.00 a month. I explained this to the girls. I later found that the girls at the school took it upon themselves to fill in another area of the form stating other income 2,000.00 disability which I feel was fraud on their part. I am in a mess now due to their decision to write in this false information without my knowledge. They said this school was accredited, but it turned out that it wasn't... So many things wrong with this. This is destroying many aspects of my son's life. My son got nothing from this school. He we promised to learn game development, but was only assigned art projects. Then they up and disappeared fron the Pittsburgh location. This loan should never have been approved in the first place. And it shouldn't exist at all. I need help resolving this loan issue.
