Chamberlain University - St. Louis — Local services in Maryland Heights

This school is the biggest joke ever. Be prepared if you are going to this school to not hear back from anyone for a couple of weeks. I would have concerns/questions for my SSA and by the time they got back to me sometimes I forgot why they were calling or email me back. I started emailing them every day with the same email so maybe they would get back to me. Sometimes it worked and they would have an attitude about me emailing them so many times. Well maybe if you answered me back the first or second time then maybe you wouldn't get 20 emails from me. I had withdrawn from the program because I was not doing as well as I thought I should. I came from high school with a 3.7 GPA and left chamberlain with a 2.6 GPA. I went to the CAS multiple times, I had meetings with teachers about what I should do and took their advice. I worked one-two days a week with hardly any money so I could just study non stop AND I STILL BARELY PASSED MY CLASSES. They have rules and regulations there that the professors are not supposed to tell you what you got wrong on your tests because you could possibly get it right on the final and i guess they didnt like that. HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO PASS THE FINAL WHEN I CANNOT KNOW WHAT I GOT WRONG ON THE TESTS? That is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard. Oh also the last session i was there someone got in trouble because they wrote down answers to the practice questions from study sessions and said that was cheating. If you think that is stealing answers then why dont the teachers just change the question around? I do not understand the logic here. I would try and do study groups but they did not benefit me. the only thing that really helped was re-reading the book over and over again for hours. When I would go talk to teachers and ask them questions about topics i was not understanding, some of them told me that I was not going to make it. Well guess what they got their wish because I withdrew from this "college". Oh here is another issue I am having. So i withdrew in the end of February. I asked my advisor if I was okay to do that and she told me I was good to do that. So i did and thought well maybe I will just go back to the community college and send my transcripts over to there and go from there. Well i apply and I notice nothing ever happened. I called the school and they said they never received my transcripts. Well when I was at chamberlain i had to get a loan through them called the last resort loan because I could not get a private loan through anyone. It isnt the best thing to do because the process takes about a year but this was my only option to get into the school. Well I was never told that and so when I withdrew they would not cover the last couple terms i was there and now I have to pay 5600 out of pocket to the school because of their lack of communication, it was actually 11,000 but they lowered it. yippy. And this took from the end of February and now almost into August and IT IS STILL NOT DONE!!! they keep saying paper work is processing every time I call and actually get to talk to someone (WHICH HAS ONLY BEEN A HANDFUL OF TIMES SINCE I CAN NEVER GET A HOLD OF ANYONE) . I have been so overwhelmed with this that I would not recommend going to this school if you do not have a lot of money or low income because if you fail or withdraw it will be a big ordeal! And hats off to the people who have gotten through it. I wish you well. For me this was the biggest mistake of my life. Oh they also hired teachers that did not even know anything about the subject they were teaching. Are you kidding me? I am paying all this money for that. I had some help from one CSA tutor but it would be basic easy questions and you go into a test and they are very difficult. why tutor like that when you know the tests are hard. BIGGEST...

I had a terrible experience with this school. They DON'T communicate at all! I feel like they just wanted my money (which I don't have) then wanting me to learn. Nobody knew anything when I would ask questions and they just do not seem to care.. I got COVID and I told both my professors and even the dean. My professors NEVER reached back out to me or even told me that I did not have to be in class or that I could even post pone taking a test or quiz. So i did awful because I was too sick to be doing anything. But they did not even try to tell me it was like they wanted me to fail. I have never felt so stressed in my life then i have been at this school. Then I did very well on my finals but they still wouldn't pass me because I did not get a 76 percent but I was .2 percent behind. Also They put me on a LOAN that I had no idea they did that and now thanks to them I am 16,000 + dollars in debt. So don't let them fool you be careful when debating going to this "school"

Let me add on to why this school has disappointed me. They let me do an appeal and when it came down to deciding if I could get my academic dismissal off my record they DENIED ME and for an explanation they gave me a one sentence answer which I find totally bs. They had attitudes with me from the start and seemed to already have their minds made up on their decision before talking with me. Also they have charged me over 500 dollars for classes I didn’t take due to academic dismissal. So again they don’t care about their students as much as they do money highly suggest looking elsewhere. Very disappointed with my...

As a recent graduate, I can say overall, I had an excellent experience and highly recommend it to anyone. The clinical experiences offered lots opportunity to learn and network. Clinical instructors were EXTREMELY helpful with building critical thinking skills and encouraging students to be open minded about career options, ethical issues and overcoming fear. The Center for Academic success (CAS) was great for sophomore and junior level classroom material, emotional support, NCLEX preparation and test taking strategies. CAS did whoever fail in explaining 400 level classroom material (Collaborative and Community) when many students were struggling with complicated material and new instructors. Classroom instructors were mostly good. Chamberlain has a tendency to move instructors around lot so it is not uncommon to have an instructor who has never taught the class before (**which is why they received a 4 out of 5). Not to worry though, Chamberlain choose great textbooks, CAS tutors and clinical instructors so you can still learn the material and pass the classes despite an instructor's lack of classroom experience. I am a competent, compassionate nurse who passed every class, maintained most of my sanity throughout the program, and I am prepared for my career and NCLEX thanks to my experience at...
