Rust repair from a college shop?

I have some rust i need repaired on a quarter panel before it gets too rediculous, i'm not looking for a show quality repair, just something that isn't noticeable unless i'm looking for it.

I'm wondering the service received from anyone in a college body shop, or anyone that has taken their car there. I don't want my car fucked with and i don't want it to be there for an extended amount of time.

First off you should meet the the teacher and see how they are. At my old college the teacher was a perfectionist and wouldnt let them do a bad job. But that would vary, also check their other work too. That's all I could say.

Yes, it does depend on the teacher.Where i went the teacher would make us go step by step especially on rust.But if he was too busy and couldn't check up on everybody then some students would do a half *** job, and if it's the same as my old school then expect your car to be there for a while.

That's the kind of input i was looking for, but i was hoping it'd be a little more positive. I've a friend that was in a High-School body shop, i'll get input from him as well on the subject. Maybe a High-School would do a better job, i've noticed High-School teachers are alot more into a student's education than college teachers.
