How can you complain with sites like these?
JET UNIVERSITY SUCKS BEWARE OF JET UNIVERSITY JETUNIVERSITYSUCKS.COM - HOME

I mean, I feel bad for the students, but just do a bit of research before paying $70,000 up front. Not smart at all.

The Jetuniversitysucks.com website has not been up for very long. Many students wallets were emptied a long time ago by a very slick talking salesman there who also happens to be the owner.
At least they can't take advantage of anymore people now.

I feel really bad for those students. I hope they (JU's owners) don't try to tie this thing up in court for years....if it even makes it that far.

They really just need to un-a$$ the students money and return it before someone stomps a hole in theirs. JMO.

Notice how many times the word "dream" was mentioned.

The student's money is unsecured. The other creditors (and possibly the employees) will have first shot at whatever money might be left.

This is a flashback to ATA in 2002.
