- Tomorrow is my last day at this school. I have nothing good to say about Laurus Technical Institute (hvac program). I would not recommend it for anyone unless you wanna waste 7 months of your life and 15,000 bucks. Very poor facility, unprofessional faculty and staff career services is absolutely a joke.
