Comments about Eastern International College:
I have been extremely misled by the school with regards to their placement of students in externships. After months of constant communications with them trying to get an externship, which I was told would not be too difficult given my 3.95GPA, I was finally told that the only externship site they could find was 30 miles away, even though I had been told many times before that the site would be close to my home and the school in NJ, or in Manhattan or Brooklyn. The drive to/from the site was over 4 hours and the tolls and gas cost me ~$30 (it would have taken me over 3 hours each way with public transportation) but I accepted the externship because I have been unable to even obtain a job as I keep waiting to finish my studies and the school keeps claiming that there are no other sites available. However, I was told during my first day that the next day I would have to go to a site 65 miles away (~3 hour drive each way across state lines) and that on my third day I would have to go to a site 130 miles away (~4 hour drive each way, also across state lines). More importantly, the duties I was given during my first day barely relate to my studies and I am now sure that if I continue my externship in this manner then I will not obtain the hand-on practice I need to get a job in my field.
The school leads students to believe that upon successful completion of classes they will be placed in suitable externships but the staff has been completely unhelpful, all of my communications with them have been negative and my requests have been pretty much brushed off. I have asked them for other sites as I cannot drive 4-8 hours/day and spend ~$30 in tolls and gas/day just to get to the sites but they refuse to keep searching for me and are now telling me to go to those far away sites or sign a waiver stating I refuse to go to the sites they found for me. After all of the hard work I put into my studies I am now at a loss and feel that the school has left me with no real options to finish my studies.
