Worst Decision of My Life. Complete Scam

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by membership [?]

This review is for Simon

Program Full Time MBA

Class of 2017

Experience during the program

I graduated from the Simon Business School in 2017. I am very disappointed with my experience from that program. The area is filled with crime, drugs, and alcoholism. The program is a cash cow for the school, leaving many of the graduates with extreme life-damaging student loans without a good enough job to pay for it. Nobody outside of Rochester has even heard of that program, so the brand name is pretty much useless. The on-campus recruiting opportunities are horrible. The program definitely did not meet my lowest expectations. I wouldn't do this program again, and wouldn't recommend it for anyone else.

About professors, classes and curriculum

The curriculum isn't really applicable in the real world. Classmates were rude and very competitive. The classes are graded on a curve, and many classmates cheat. Cheating was quite a big problem when I attended.

About job placement process

Some people find jobs. The program usually uses the graduates that find good jobs to advertise, but many graduates end up working in a warehouse or end up unemployed. I didn't feel like the career support was good at all.
