Sad to hear that the school went 'belly-up'. Maybe they should have merged with another tech school.
I graduated from BCSI in 1981; did more programs during those months in RPG, Cobol and Assembler than most of the community schools.
Now, some 20+ years later I am earning 6 digits working in IT.
Its true what the say where you get out of it what you put into it. I agree that schoolscollegesuniversities are ALL ripoffs and see it more now with my own kids attending school. The fact that BCSI closed its doors doesn't make them stick out.
One of my contracts was with Columbia University and I can tell you that there were graduates that funded their entire school years; graduated and still looking for jobs.
In my opinion the Education Industry in the US is a SHAM don't blame any one school!

Funny thing about this school that is now gone. When you started they told you up front you will get out of it what you put into it like any school. Well 15 years later I make high 6 figures and work as VP of technology for a large company. I can't thank them enough!

Would definitely love to be a part of a class action suit if one goes forward. I too am still paying off this loan and got nowhere with the education I received. I can't even get transcript copies or credits applied anywhere if I wanted to go to a legitimate school.

This school was the biggest joke. I can't believe we all fell for their trick. Jokes on us, I'm still 9k in debt.

this school was the biggest waste of time and money.when it came to present our portfolios to the professional prospects, they laughed at the whole classes porfolio, and said that we had to stay another 6 months to redo it all... can't up keep their promise with the education that they promised.

This school ruined our lives. In debt for last 8 years as the school closed its doors in 8/04. Did you know Mr. Forshee sold the school and the building for $4.5 million dollars and never returned any of our student loan money to the proper source? He is a thief and should be prosecuted!!! He ruined many lives and put many of us in horrible financial situations. If anyone is interested in seeing about a class action law suit please post here. I think all the "victims of Mr. Forshee's scheme" need to unite!!!!!

This ripoff "school" is closed an has been bulldozed. Nothing made me happier to see a PetCo on this site.
