CSB School Of Broadcasting, Connecticut School Of Broadcasting CSB takes your money, then once you graduate do NOTHING for you. Orlando Florida

I attended CSB, that was before the bankruptcy.....back in 07. Since graduation, I never received my grades for "completing the course". I had bullshyt instructors......former students and people who made a few commercials in their "hay day".........but no legitimate instructors or certified teachers. Every time a problem arose, you would ask for help and the response was....."figure it out, its always one stupid button", forget about you completely or get mad cause you asked for help. That's not teaching or instructing of any kind in my book. Speaking of books......we never got those either........we got printed up photocopied sheets that were barely legible to put in a binder. Before attending the school, the head honcho of the company, who was at the campus at the time told me to my face, "that the school had an 86.6% placement rating of all graduates that had attended the school". Really????????? wow is that why the tuition is so expensive?????? His response was, "You will receive an education here like no other school".........

Well....... You're right .........I got some education in being bullshytted with lies.....as a matter of fact, another former student that I keep in touch with put it best when he described the school as "SMOKE AND MIRRORS" .......At an actual school, you are taught and instructed with actual teachers with teaching degrees, not former students lookin for a break in the business. After "graduating", I was given printed up craigslist advertisements as suppossed "job referrals" that turned out to be bullshyt leads, and when I asked if they had any contacts.......I was told and I quote "If you're looking for a decent job, you should consider moving out of state, you'll be able to find a job in a smaller market, then someplace like here". If I would have known that that was their attitude, combined with the fact that they had no contacts or legitimate job leads, I wouldn't have wasted my time or money.

It's now August of '09 and to this day never received a certificate from this place, never received my grades, and not once did I come across a decent job lead........from the school or on my own. I've made attempts to contact local radio/tv stations in my area and they don't even recognize CSB as a school. After my troubling situation, and all the aggravation that went along with it, I contacted Florida Board of Education and explained my situation to them and their response was "what they did was immoral, not illegal". Well how is this not illegal.........The school taught me nothing. Their equipment was old and for most of the time "broke", they tell you that you'd be a "student for life", and then after verbal and written brochures of job placement assistance, produce nothing nada zip zippo squat......shall I go on?????? Out of about 30 students in my class, 4 or 5 people got jobs, mostly the girls because the degenerate pigs that taught at this location thought they would "get lucky" if they impressed the pretty girl with big boobs a nice job. ....... I feel ripped off, I was ripped off, and now I have a Sallie Mae loan that I'm in collections for because I'm out of work and can't find a job, So now I'm screwed. For the people that got great jobs and love the field because of the school, you were at the right place at the right time, but as for most of us out there that went to this SHYT school, we got screwed........plain and simple.........It's definitely a fraud........waste of time and money.........you're better off going to FSU or a real college.....

The campus that I'm talking about is the Tampa campus......the same location that was on Bay News 9, the same location of the student that was given a scholarship for from President Obama, only to find out that the school closed its doors, they day he made the appointment to "tour" for his audition.

To Jane Doe from Gotha and Annoyed from Tampa- I agree with you 100%! I am a victim of the Orlando campus as well. No help at all from them, when I graduated I said I wanted to start a family before I had a career and then they were done with me. I now have a beautiful little girl who is the joy of my life and I wouldn't trade her for anything in the world. Anyway, I also got the photocopies, boring classes, etc. The Acting class was a joke, we sat in our chairs in a circle and took turns reading a few lines from the handout. That was our Acting class, I kid you not. We had a few good instructors but even they could not really help given the short time period and poor material they were given.

I wish CSB had gone bankrupt and closed their doors forever. But they will survive and continue to rip off unsuspecting people who have stars in their eyes (like I did).
