College Reviews
1 Review Submitted For North Bennet Street School
- Reviewed on: October 12, 2009
- Rating: 1 / 5
Flag Review - This review is being written about North Bennet Street School's jewelry making and repair course only. I have little knowledge about other courses offered at this school.
For as much as this school charges for tuition for this course ($29,160 in 2008, more now) and for as long as this school has been in existence, (125 years) I thought they must have an exceptional program to offer. I was sorely disappointed.
Why do I now refer to this school as the "North Bennet School of No Recourse"? Read my entire story at ripoffreport.com. Go to their website and search for "North Bennet Street School".
