College Reviews
1 Review Submitted For Heritage Institute - Ft Myers
- Reviewed on: October 27, 2009
- Rating: 1 / 5
Flag Review - This school is a joke... They really give you smoke and mirrors to get you enrolled. They are not accredited. They have a bad reputation b/c they have put out very unprofessional students. They allow anyone in the school (depsite what they tell you), which ruins the experience. Do yourself a favor- save yourself the time and money- go to a real school.
