What is the most effective resource to complain about my college?

I am getting a less than adequate education from my college, and I would like to know if there is some sort of group that regulates in any way. Someone or somewhere that wants to hear my complaint.

Well,

you have to start with, how and why you feel this way. Document occurences or things you have noticed about your college. Like in Law enforcement, follow your chain of command, in this instance that would include key represenatives from the college, ie. dept heads, etc.

next I would write a letter to the US Dept. of Education and CHEA (council for higher education accreditation)

CHEA are the ones that accredit colleges based on their academic standards and procedures, they have some power because accreditation is important to a college.

Next if no action is taken on your behalf or no coorespondance has occured between you and someone else, I would next go to your state represenative if need be.

I am in the same boat with the same school, This school does not actually teach you anything about any programs used, they just expect you to figure it out on your own, and when you are dealing with 3D modeling and animation, that can be next to impossible, its hard learning Illustrator, Photoshop, or InDesign on your own and there is very little help or tutoring available. The amount that I have paid into this private school is about double what I would have paid at a community college for the same degree. The only difference is the name. I once asked a teacher if she could help me to figure out a problem, she told me to go buy the book…not a text book…just another instructional book…but thats better than the teachers that don’t reply to you at all when you have a question. The two of us aren’t the only ones who have experienced this problem with this very well known school, There are multiple forum threads with this exact topic. There needs to be something done about this, people shouldn’t be duped into paying tens of thousands of dollars for this crappy education.

Take it to your college administrators first, with hard facts to back it up. If that doesn’t work, try contacting the accrediting body that accredits your college.
