Over the years since graduating I have been able to utilize the T-Bird connect and First Tuesday meeting to build a lot of amazing and valuable connections. The Thunderfest events held around the world every October have been great as well. These events are run by local T-birds in your community and supported by the school, so don't be afraid to start your own. (however the organizer for my local chapter changed and that led to some issues). Still, these events plus the internal social network may be the most valuable part of this school. Wherever you go, you will likely be able to find a fellow T-bird to reach out to and connect with. I have even been able to utalize this network to help build business opportunities.

I was granted an extension due to medical emergency, the professor never took the time to unlock the assignment like he said he would. Despite contacting people for several weeks nobody responded again. They instead gave me a 0 on the assignment severl weeks after they posted grades anyway. This school has no integrity.

Looking back, the school also did a poor job handling the covid epidemic. Instead of taking the opportunity to show how international businesses could benefit from online consulting from its online students, they just canceled most all of the consulting labs essentially hanging students out to dry. As the opportunity to work within international business and have my opportunity to show what I could do in that regard was one of the main reasons I chose this school, I feel somewhat betrayed. I now carry this student debt and have very little to show for it as the degree is not worth as much as the experience of the promised internship when applying for jobs. While I am grateful to have met wonderful people and show my skills academically, I do not feel satisfied by any of my experiences at Thunderbird. (Posted March 2021).
