Hear what our students have to say...

I started here at the Pennsylvania Institute of Technology at the Center City Campus back in 2008, where I completed the SPP Program in Medical Assisting. I worked some time in Medical Assisting doing phlebotomy for area hospitals in the City of Philadelphia. I wanted to come back and continue my education to receive my degree—associate in applied science. I am currently now in the Licensed Practical Nursing Program here at P.I.T. Media Campus and plan to definitely finish up with my associate as soon as the program is done in January. I absolutely love this school! The teachers are amazing. I love the small class sizes. The teachers and instructors are passionate about what they do. They make sure you have all the necessary skills that you need for the real world.

One of the things I like most about P.I.T. is the teachers. They have inspired me to know what I want to do in life, and I couldn’t thank them enough for it. Also, I think P.I.T. offers that individual help that you don’t get at most universities, and I think I am a better person for it for going there.

My experience at P.I.T. was unique. I say this because when I started I was not the typical 19 year-old full-time student. I was a 25 year-old part-time night student, who at any given time was traveling for work. The faculty at P.I.T. was always willing to work through this with me. I showed them hard work and they showed me an understanding for my situation. Teachers like Suzanne Stewart and Gerry Gambs were always there for guidance. With their help and my hard work, I was not only able to succeed in P.I.T., but also in my career in the Civil Engineering field.

The Pennsylvania Institute of Technology was without a doubt the best choice for me. It has helped me find myself as a student and a person. I learned how to become more organized and attentive in the classroom. I also had help from many great faculty and staff members. Without any question, the best faculty/staff member that helped me achieve my goals was Valerie Riccardi. She helped me to stay focused and made herself available to me whenever she was needed. Valerie was hardworking and conscientious about my goals and did a fantastic job as my counselor. She is sincere and definitely someone I could call my friend now, too. I highly recommend Valerie to anyone going to P.I.T. because she is what P.I.T. is really about. They are about caring for your success and Val does just that. Thank you for the best two years of my life academically and I have all of you, especially Valerie, to thank for my success in the classroom.
