Donnelly College — Attraction in Kansas City

It was one of my best schools I have ever attended. My respects to Mr. Shadfar the teacher of ESL grammar classes god bless him. He invited me to work there cleaning the school and I accepted. I worked there from 6pm to 11pm to close the school. Something strange happened to me. My classmates from ESL were wonder why I accepted that job. They said that it was an old building and it was a hospital, many people died there and not body wanted that job because there was a ghost in the 8th floor a woman in white dress appears there. To hear that I started to be worried about, but I needed the job. During the nights I was really scared to be alone cleaning all hallways and all floors and especially in the basemant. I had to work there on Halloween Oct 31st and it was the scariest night. My boss was a person from Irak. One day I asked him have you ever seen something strange because people say many things about the school that it was a hospital. He told me that only one thing happened to him when we were walking on the 8th floor to the elevator. He said that one day when he was going to check from the highest floor to the first one to be sure there are no students at 11pm he was in the last floor and not body was in the building. He said the elevator went down by itself to the first floor. And the elevator to move down it should be someone in the first floor to push the button. He went downstairs runing and he didnt find anyone there. He was really scare. Other day in the basemant my boss from Irak the responsible from all my commitments showed me in the cafeteria that was the basemant one door that not body opens there. Always is closed. He opened that door and that door takes you to another bigger basemant. We went there and I could see many old machines It was very scary because I could see all the old things of the hospital including the incinerator machine where the people who died in the hospital were burned it was like a horror movie. We went out and I were so thinking about what I lived there. Nice experience something that I never imagine that could happened. I studied the ESL program and got 500 points in the tofl I took all levels from there and higher and advance level in English. Now I am an English teacher in Mexico I have taught for 15 years and I would like to work as a teacher some day for the ESL program in Donnelly if they give me the opportunity.

God bless this school and all...

I absolutely loved the staff of Donnelly. Pretty much everyone there is out to help you succeed in all that you do. However, if you are going for a nursing degree, I would recommend going somewhere else. I lived in the dorms above the nursing department in Marion Hall and didn't have any problems except when I went down to the only floor with a water fountain to get fresh, cold water. Patty, the head of the nursing department, repeatedly berated me for coming on "her floor" and told me I wasn't allowed there. After I brought my complaints to the dean of students, all the residents received an email saying that we were "washing dishes in the fountains", and that we weren't allowed to go down there anymore. I would go down to get cold water since we were forced to either drink from warm faucets from either our room or the bathroom, and was filling my cup and just rinsed out what was in it beforehand. I understood that my presence could be distracting, so I took to taking the back route of the dorms so I wouldn't walk past any class. It was only after the new nursing department teacher said I was washing dishes that anything was said to the dorm residents. I understand it's a silly thing to discuss, but it was a major factor in my leaving the school. I would like to see the staff drink warm water that they got from essentially a bathroom sink instead of a water fountain, since the only one that was available was on the...

Graduated here in 2015. Small classes, teachers realIy care for their students, and I love how students can work here too! I absolutely love this place-its like a small family, I was sad to go. I spent four years here doing my pre-reqs for nursing. Only thing is there isn't a lot of classes offered here so I had to go to other colleges while still going here. Another thing is I had to do everything on my own. When I first started thinking about nursing I didn't know where to start and what I had to do. All I knew was that I wanted to go straight for my bachelor's. One of the advisors sent me to go talk to the nursing dept. All the nursing advisor (she no longer works there) was trying to do is convince me to do the LPN program. Once I told her that I wasn't interested in that, that I needed help with what pre-reqs to take, what schools had BSN programs, etc she told me she couldn't help me at all! From that moment on, I had to do my own research -look for schools, what classes to take, how to apply, which required teas test. I even had students interested in nursing come up to me to help them with the process. Overall, it's a great college in the middle of the city..only thing, give some direction to students. There are other transfer universities...
