Question: Does anybody have any information about Schiller International University?

Is it a good school? I am interested in business, especially international business, and that is what the school's website seems to boast, but I am a little concerned that I have never even heard of it before 15 minutes ago lol. Does anybody know anything about it?

Yep, I'm currently studying at Schiller. I want to be totally honest and say that I do not recommend the school if you're from the United States. I'm not from the US and I'm currently in the internship program in Schiller so to me it's a good experience since I think work experience here in the US is important. But if I'm just looking at the academics side, then there are probably better schools out there (of course, I have nothing to compare it with though).
