Fortis College in Cuyahoga Falls — Local services in Cuyahoga Falls

I attended Fortis College back in 2011/2012, and I loved every minute while I was there. I was blessed to have such great instructors. All had experiences in the field of Criminal Justice, and were very knowledgeable about the learning material. Not only was it a great learning environment, it was also a fun environment. The instructors set a stage for the students to WANT to be involved. It was a joy to go to school whilst attending Fortis. All the staff made it their goal to see you succeed. All were very personable, and it felt like being apart of a family. If you had any problems (I rarely had any) there were countless of individuals you could go see and get them resolved. I loved how they had award ceremonies after each semester. They recognized all our efforts and hard-work, and it was always a great feeling to be one of those persons. The atmosphere was always positive. I've made lasting friendships not only with other fellow students, but instructors as well. If you are thinking about attending Fortis College, I encourage you to enroll. It was the best decision I made. I'm now attending a University to obtain my bachelor's degree, and many of the credits I received at Fortis transferred. So if that is one of your worries,...

I would never suggest this school to anyone looking into nursing. I attended for a little over a year, and have not gotten anything out of it. I took courses that I was sent home too early for, due to lack of supplies for labs. 3 semesters worth was basically a study hall, I was not prepared for the nursing courses ahead at all, nor did I have the guidance to even try and begin trying to teach myself. The school is a for profit organization. The cost is astronomical for such a poor experience. Accordinog to the board of nursing, they are only provisional. They have very low NCLEX pass rates. Which is what you need to actually begin your career. Moving into my first nursing course, we didn't receive our nursing bags until almost halfway through the semester, along with certain books needed to pass the course. I was lost as to where to get help in the beginning when it came to navigating how to use anything online. There is so many different online sites, that cause issues for staff as well. Its a confusing mess. The only decent thing about the school is very few certain staff members. I wasted so much time and effort into the school to be let down. Im moving forward at a...

Biggest regret of my life.

Could not find a job in field after graduation. Did not get much help from job placement. I still remember sitting with financial services before enrollment as they told me my loans would be around 50$ a month for 10 years after graduation. That was a bold face lie. They are several hundred monthly and I work two jobs to make payments. (recently quit one job and gave up and moved back with my mother, who also works two jobs to pay for her Brown Mackie Loans)

THIS SCHOOL IS NOT ACCREDITED

You can not take you education any further than this location. To go to Kent, Akron or Stark you will have to take every class over again. Each Fortis location also does each Major differently. So credit from one Fortis location will not be the same at another Fortis location. My Degree is literally useless and i'm in debt for it.

If your thinking about college GO TO A REAL ACCREDITED SCHOOL! Faster is not better, and if your going to pay for it make it worth it! These schools want nothing...
