Southern Crescent Technical College - Griffin Campus — Local services in Griffin

Southern Crescent is run as a scam to fleece students for financial aid money. All they want is your money. Be very careful about what they charge. They will try to get every last cent they can from your financial aid. It is much more than other schools charge. And of course, if they get it, you won't after tuition, etc. is paid.

Many of the teachers are not qualified to teach. They are hired because they are willing to work for less while they go to school to get qualified for a job that pays normal wages.

And don't even think about the nursing program. Don't let the new building fool you. Up until December 2012 they were holding classes in a trailer and had been for years and years. The nursing scam is to accept lots of student and then weed through them continually to find the ones who are willing teach themselves. They expect to carry the first round of students just long enough to get the maximum amount of financial aid money, then they start pushing students out. It isn't just an initial weeding-out, either. You can make it almost to the end and then be pushed out if they are iffy on your ability to pass the NCLEX.

Expect no teaching from instructors. They're too busy studying for classes they're taking themselves. Administrators in the nursing program are even worse. Do not trust anything they say. If you try to get help you're bullied in an attempt to get you to teach yourself or give up and quit. Some are told they will not be allowed to continue even though they are getting passing grades. They don't need to get you to pass. Their only criteria is that the few who are left at the end teach themselves well enough to pass the NCLEX on their own. If they don't think you can do that easily, they will find a way to get rid of you. That is how they get the 100% pass rate they brag about. That is why there are so many complaints from students and the community at public meetings.

Not all schools are like that. You have to shop around and do your research to find a tech school that has instructors qualified to teach. You will also get more of your financial aid money in your pocket because you found another school that did...

Tbh I was a student here not long ago I have a 2 types of reviews, would like to speak highly of Ms Tony Doty over student lending library she was vary helpful I was living on my own life happened and I needed help she assisted with with the Covid fund application and the cares application and all Glory to Yahusha I got money to pay all my bills and it was money I didn’t have to pay back! That was a blessing my gas light water and rent and car note and this was on multiple occasions they opened applications and the government funded students in need vary helpful! Also the CNA instructor I cannot remember her name but she was AWSOME and cared and instructed whole heatedly I don’t however stay here at this school long. But however I was also on the online program doing the General education classes, I need it for the nursing program. I did feel neglected and didn’t really get any help when I came on campus because I am a in person type of person so I need things to actually be taught to me on how to navigate the software blackboard and Octa had I known I know it would been great experience Nowadays, since Covid, lots of schools jobs, public places everywhere don’t really really wanna do their jobs, but that’s anywhere you go. I am not here to murmur and complain and to depend on others, but to trust in the Most High to get me through. All obstacle courses it’s gonna be a little something something everywhere you go, but my goal is just to make the best out of it...

I graduated with associate in Horticulture in 2013. I loved the program and instructors were all either previous professionals in the field or still were professionals in the field, which means a lot for a landscaper to be taught by previous landscapers and plant experts...even had an instructor that also teaches and does plant research for UGA, her classes were very interesting. I took Physics, even though I didn't need to (could have done biology), and the professor was fantastic--he really made sense of the subject matter in a way you could apply it to daily life. I think its ridiculous that millions were spent for Nursing at the school and money not divided between other programs simply based on student numbers in each program, because our program was under funded and we could have had better labs with proper funds, even installed better landscaping around the campus--one of my classes, we built a stair case and fence for the campus for example. Greg Huber is a great guy and I'll keep in contact with him throughout my career. Perhaps the bad reviews are due to the head of department in some areas or personal finances, but it is a good school and you are going to pay for your education anywhere you go. I would recommend to any of my friends that want to continue...
