MSO · August 7th, 2007, 12:32 AM

eh, that's jus what i've heard

i've never been to either

06RedfireGT · August 7th, 2007, 12:33 AM

hmmm, I wonder if the community college has facilities like UTI, plus I don't think you would have the same credentials from a CC than you would from UTI or Wyotech or any other auto tech school.

go to college and get a degree

or go to UTI and get a... certificate?

ujslost · August 7th, 2007, 12:35 AM

well i have a buddy that went to UTI and he said it was a mistake, didnt learn shit about anything he didnt know before he went. And well he dont know much about anything other than the 5.0 or the 351, He said it was a waste of time.

MSO · August 7th, 2007, 12:35 AM

now, wyotech is a completely different story

ujslost · August 7th, 2007, 12:36 AM

wish i could go to wyotech

06RedfireGT · August 7th, 2007, 12:49 AM

well then fuck UTI and go to Wyotech.

MSO · August 7th, 2007, 12:50 AM

heh, if you can afford wyotech

you're better off with community college and getting a degree in automotive technology, which you can put towards a bachelor's degree in automotive engineering

06RedfireGT · August 7th, 2007, 12:58 AM

well Im not familiar with them. How much is it, and is there any way to get a scholarship or somethin?

94v6blkndred · August 7th, 2007, 01:58 AM

hmmm so UTI isnt the way to go then?

06RedfireGT · August 7th, 2007, 01:58 AM

guess not

ItalianBullitt754 · August 7th, 2007, 07:14 AM

Damn ! I was thinking aout going to the UTI Houston campus.

SWEET2KSTANG · August 7th, 2007, 09:18 AM

a friend of mine went there and graduated a couple years ago. he loved it, and is now making quiet a bit of $$$. i almost went, but like a dumb ass i stayed here with my girl (now my wife). congrats, and good luck.

thats where im enrolled is the houston campus

94v6blkndred · August 7th, 2007, 10:27 AM

hmm damn this is ending up like a "should i go turbo of SC" topic hahahah only thing is really a problem is that it cost so much but then your not even ASE certified when you get out..i mean i know you have to earn that..but my dad is concerned im gonna be changin oil and shit so its not even worth it

but i really wanna go and try to get into the Audi or BMW academy since they help pay back student loans and i could make more money do that..but i guess i got 5 months to decide..

TurboLX · August 7th, 2007, 11:28 AM

i was thinking about UTI

in my auto class in school, they have several different tech campusus that come in and talk to you

so far im settled on either Wyotech or Baran institute

except with UTI, you cant work on live cars, which is kind of a turn off a bit

but there Hot Rod program really had me going so im undecided

the UTI project this year was 5 groups had 5 Mustangs and one group had to make the fastest out of them all
