Reasons to Attend
Comments about The Art Institute of Pittsburgh:
I chose this school because they were able to give me the degree I wanted. I have been there for about a month now and I do not get the kind of contact with the teachers or advisors that I had before I started. The teacher does not contact me in time to fix my assignments and the Financial Aid advisors do not return calls or email's. They only contact you when it is for something that they need from you and do not care much about what it is that you need. Hence the lack of communication. They will call you if you do not login for four days but if you have concerns about your financial aid they never return a call or email. My advice be ware of everything or you may end up oweing them money for things that you may not agree with.
