| - Total waste of a drive out here, but - oh - what a bullet that was dodged that day. My girlfriend expressed interest in going to this school to further her education as an aspiring chef, so we drove all the way out to this place in Summerlin from the Tropicana and Pecos area of town. The recruiter showed us around the place, and it LOOKED like a decent learning institute... then, this walking leather handbag with short white hair sat us down in her office. I started getting suspicious once she showed us that a two-year Associate's degree would cost over $40,000 (before the disgusting amount of interest would ultimately accrue, making it somewhere between $60,000-$80,000) and started making condescending remarks about my girlfriend's former employment as a baker at Glazier's in addition to my academic pursuits. Yeah, sorry the career I'm going for DOESN'T involve preying on naive kids and purging them into debt for years to come.
Anyway, something did not feel right about this whole "prospect", so I went online on my phone while we were sitting there, saw the horror stories about Le Cordon Bleu Las Vegas not only on here, but on numerous other Web sites (Ripoff Report, being one of them). Then, I excused myself out of the office, instructed my girlfriend via text NOT to sign anything, and told her exactly why. From what she tells me (I was not in the room for this), when she informed the recruiter that she did not want to put anything in writing that day, her demeanor IMMEDIATELY changed and she got incredibly pushy. "Well, whaddaya mean you don't wanna sign anything today?! Don't you wanna start having a future already?!" All doubt was promptly removed on what kind of place this truly was. The funniest part about all this is that on our way out, the recruiter lady looked like she was genuinely pissed off at me. Aw... sounds like someone's upset she didn't get her big fat commission.
Underneath the hollow promises, buzzwords, and presentation factor they try to "wow" potential applicants with, this is nothing more than a "for-profit" rip-off school. LCBLV has been on the receiving end of so many class-action law suits, it is outright shocking. College of Southern Nevada might not be the greatest learning institute, either, but at least they offer the SAME education (if not better) for a small fraction of the price, most of their credits actually transfer, and potential employers don't flat-out laugh in people's faces upon telling them they paid to go there. Honestly, I'm starting to think that most of these positive reviews are fake. That, or the people who posted them either don't know what they're in for yet or just don't want to believe they got swindled horribly. Also, I find it a little strange that entire pages worth of 1-star reviews ended up in the "Not Recommended" section. Just saying: It kind of makes me wonder...
