I never write reviews unless I have something positive to say but this place is the most infuriating, irresponsible place you could ever waste your money. To begin to explain my horrible experience here would be the beginning of a very angry novel, which is a shame because most of the professors are extraordinarily nice and helpful. Regarding administration and financial aid on the other hand is like the blind leading the blind. Genuinely, from one student to another, save your money and go anywhere but here. If I could rate them -5 stars, I would.
Most mediocre place I ever worked in the higher education industry. Very poor management, misrepresentation of school mission and students do not come first. Don't waste your money and time.
This by far is one the worst schools I have ever been to. I am stuck as I am a year in already. This school is all about money. The director of the school, Dr. Bonilla is not for the students in my opinion. They have you taking courses that you should not be taking. I currently work in the field that I am attending this school for. The school wants me to take a computer course, CPR, as well as professional strategies. I mean I work on computers everyday, so what is a basic computer class going to teach me? Then when I signed up to take the computer class online, the link for the orientation gave my personal computer a virus and I contacted the school. I even tried to use the link at work and the professor had the nerve to tell me to contact my IT department at work, not well we can email you the syllabus and you follow along. No I am signed up for a professional strategy class where I am supposed to learn how to write a resume, references, and job searching for the field that I enrolled in. As I explained, I am already in the field. I have been in this field for over 10 years. Later I will have to take a CPR class. Which makes no sense to me. I mean, this class takes three months, when the YMCA does the same class in one day and for free.
This school charges tuition and program fees. It seems as though the tuition is the same for all programs and the only thing that is different is the program fees. I don't understand how the private investigation program is the same price as the medical office admin. If you want to exempt classes and have your work or life studies applied, they charge a fee for that. The only good part about this school is Dr. Luka.
None of the people in financial aid are on the same page. One person says one thing and the next person say something different. I hate that I even enrolled in this school. The prices for the books are ridiculous as well as the uniforms that they swear you have to wear, but I have yet to put on one. The bookstore claim that they will buy back books that you have purchased. HAHAHA that is a joke.
They will either say oh we are not buying back books at this time or they will offer nearly pennies and then resale those same books for over $50.00. So if you are thinking about enrolling in this school, please do yourself a favor and look for another school. I am stuck here as it is too late for me and I doubt that any of the classes that I took are transferrable to another school. So I am stuck in this high price school.
My experience of the nursing program was not the best. This is a very expensive program, but it offers very little structure and organization. As a student, I would never be informed of anything until the last possible minute. Some professors do not offer consistency or transparency with the syllabus, and decisions are made aimlessly as they see fit. As a student, it was very stressful to deal with this unpredictability in addition to the expect stresses of nursing school. I think its important for people to know about this before signing up for the program.
