I agree with the negative reviews. This place is awful. The people that work here for the most part are nothing more than salesmen and loan sharks in my opinion and the quality of education recieved is pathetic. I had a relative attend the school a couple of years ago and heard her many horror stories about this place from the overcrowded classrooms, the unprofessional staff and the overall poor quality of education. She was in the paralegal program and said that 99% of her classes were not even taught by an instructor rather someone handing her a book and telling her to do for the most part busy work. I did a research paper on for profit schools while attending UTSA and tried to get in contact with Career Point for some quotes, what I got was continuous calls from them asking me if I was interested in enrolling and even had one salesman tell me that the quality of education at Career Point was far superior to that of UTSA. I ended up getting in touch with Mr. Hagan who told me that I had no business doing a research paper on Career Point and that he would only answer questions for my paper if we were in the presense of an attorney. All of this over some questions for a research paper. I say this, complaining on a message board or a facebook or twitter is going to do nothing. If you have proof that Career Point has did something illegal toward you and you have proof, hire an attorney or get in contact with your congressman. I would also say to go to the media with your story. San Antonio Express News has an education writter who would probably love to get your story. That being said be ready to have them discredit you. I have read the story of the young lady that came forward and they tried to make her look like an awful person. Sadly, for profit schools like this and others have become big because they seem convenient and you can get a degree and get to work fast. They feed on the working poor, like one guy said, single parents and the unemployed. In reality you can get a better degree for a fraction of Career Point's cost at any legit school in San Antonio (Alamo CCs, UTSA, St. Marys, UIW, etc.). Any school that advertises an associates in 18 months and a bachelors in 2 and a half years is a scam. If it sounds to good to be true it probably is. You will get an associates or bachelors, but it will be one that is worthless to any respected business. In closing I will say if you have proof a lawyer, a talk with a congress rep. and/or the press are your best options for getting your story heard. CPC is a for profit school who is only in business for themselves. They could care less if you get that ""high paying job"" because you won't see any offers for more than maybe $8.00/hr. anyway.
