A couple reasons why this is the worst academic experience you will ever have. First, the financial aid department, as well as the bursar are extremely incompetent at their jobs. The only two options for financial aid (according to the councilor I saw) if you are not a veteran or married to a veteran is a high interest loan that will start at 12% if you already have decent credit and will go up drastically if you do not. OR a parent plus loan that will somehow grant the school right to overturn FERPA (The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974, meaning YOU have to disclose what information can be shared with parents/spouses/etc) and tell your parents information that is should be protected by this Law.

Next. If you want to focus on your education this is not the place for you, ranging from once to three times a month, you will get pulled out of class to take surveys and make fake reviews boosting the ratings on google, and you will get bribed with candy. Staff members will go out of their way to talk to you for no reason at all, very disruptive if you are trying to actually study or do work. Depending on the program you pick your instruction may or may not be of help to you at your time here. Ms Dionesia Craven, spent more time during class hours yelling about the Medical Assisting students and calling them not so professional names (ghetto, ratchets), and would even insult students that had children. The times when she would not yell, she would only read notes off of a PowerPoint, and give attitude or make snarky remarks if you asked for clarification or help with work. If you do get the pleasure of being in her class, you will be better off if you are able to teach yourself outside of class. She is also very insensitive to life events, I can recall many times where I spoke with her before class about needing to leave early or needing to keep my cellphone due to medical problems, and it would turn into her raising her voice and trying to make an example out of me for situations I already spoke to her about.

I do not recommend this school, you should save yourself the 23k and find a different school that teaches your...

I want to first start off by saying that i chose this school because this is the only school locally that offers sonography so i was excited to attend. Sonography is my dream job and this school has completely ruined that opportunity for me. This school is too expensive to do some of the things that they do to the students. I had prerequisite classes from a previous school that were requirements for the program. They didnt take all of them because some of the credits were only worth .5 and i had to retake them. Ok cool ill retake them even though i didnt want to and to be honest i thinks its more of a way for them to get more money but fine. The prerequisite classes can be taken online while some of them require you to come on campus for lecture. Which was no problem. You got to the lecture class just for the work to still be uploaded to the online portal 😕 and professors are reading to you the exact same PowerPoint they have uploaded on the online portal which makes ABSOLUTELY no sense whatsoever. Yet i still didn't complain. The problem came in when my car broke down a week and a half before the class ended. I completed EVERY last assignment even the final exam, passed the class with a 97 and received an email that they failed me due to attendance EVEN THOUGH i told the person at the school why i wasn't at lecture and will complete the work online. The person told me ok. So that leaves me to have to take a class AGAIN that i already pass and delay my graduation because although this is "supposed" to be a two year program its 3-4 because they enroll students around the clock causing no space for clinicals and they make you do a drop reentry once a spot in clinicals becomes available. This school is tooooo expensive for any of this as 9xs out of 10 if you have already been to college before , financial aid will not cover entirely leaving you to still have to come out of pocket a minimum 150-200 a month. Everything about this...

This college is terrible. I’ll list everything that was done from the time I started there in August of 2021 till I left in March 2022 Admissions lied about the times for classes once clinicals started and about the timeframe for graduation The program staff constantly argued between themselves and created an incredibly hostile work and learning environment Lab times were split between the previous class and the new class which was over filled. We were lucky to get a few minutes a day in labs to practice. Once it came time for clinicals to start they failed to assign places and times for all of us until less than a WEEK from when we started the actual clinicals. 5.Again I found the clinical times much to my surprise were not the same hours as our normal class schedule but would take up my entire day resulting in me having to quit my job 6.I started having mental health issues due to the stress and many of my classmates struggled as well. the staff made a one sided decision to change our class schedules for when we returned and said we would just have to make it work. I finally started to give up on the program and stopped trying ti meet every expectation. As a result I was suspended and told I could try again the next go around. not wanting to wait to continue my education I just decided to transfer to Trident tech. Well turns out the school isn’t recognized by any other college regionally so nothing I did while in the program mattered for my gpa...
