The Art Institute of Houston is set to close its doors this week along with several schools in the nation. Students are putting their dreams on hold, trying to figure out what’s next.
“There are so many emotions for sure. Literally, we got the email about it closing in the middle of class,” Ruth Rodriguez said.
“Because schools were getting fewer and fewer students and we were losing professors left and right so I think it was bound to happen I just didn’t think it would happen now,” she said.“All the hard work I put in, all my hard work, all my assignments, homework, quizzes and exams everything I have to restart,” she said.
“No institution should ever treat their students like this, so it makes sense that this is a for-profit college corporation. If it wasn’t they would have treated us differently,” Garrett said.“I am looking at other schools at the moment. I am looking at Houston Community College and The University of Houston. My biggest worry is them not accepting my credits and me having to start all over from the beginning again to restart four years and I really don’t want to do that,” Handle said.
