[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC is at Vanderbilt and reports that the career center people are entirely inaccessible. Who knows if they are any good? You cannot get an appointment, literally cannot. And the drop in hours that they have are very limited unlimited days and when you go to try and drop in, they are often not even there.

The parents group complains about this on the unofficial parents Facebook site. But if you go onto the official Vanderbilt parent site, there’s one or two cheerleaders who I think are on the payroll of the school and they gaslight you and tell you that you’re doing it wrong.  That their current student had a wonderful experience and was bestowed all kinds of coveted, consulting or engineering internships just by popping in.

My kid is incredibly intrepid and what the gaslightlers arw  saying is utter bullshit. He got internships on his own with zero assistance. That said, he’s seeing lots of darkened offices during drop by hours in the career center.[/quote]

My son’s parents site has those cheerleader types too. They shut off any complaints. Bizarre. [/quote]
+10, my least favorite parents are the ones who gaslight anyone clearly experiencing issues at the school. I don’t trust anyone who says their child was just handed an IB internship with “contacts” at the school.[/quote]
