Milwaukee Career College — Local services in Wauwatosa

My experience here was ridiculous. For the first day we wasted the entire 4 hours but I thought ya know it's just the first day. Well that continued for the entire week. We were scheduled to have study skills for 3 hours and math for 1 hour. Instead my teacher (who was racist and rude) completely skipped the entire study skills unit and if anything she would give us 1 hour to do our study skills homework but not lecture or do any activities for it. Then we were given a take home final exam. 1- how are you going to give a final exam for a class you didn't ever teach. 2- what university would ever give student a final exam thats take home. Extremely unprofessional. Above I mentioned my teacher was racist, to specify she was not racist towards me but made rude racial related comments about the president of the school. The president of the school has a very heavy asian accent but he is very understandable if you're listening to what he's saying. He came into our class one day to make an announcement and then left. After leaving my teacher said "did any of you understand what he just said!?" "I'll tell you what he said because I speak english!" So rude and I know I wasn't the only person in class who was upset about this comment she made. Furthermore, the math is insulting. I tried to understand that they need to cater to all types of students but for the price of this school ($16,000 for vet asst. $17,000 for vet tech) you should be able to test out of that.. Why should I be paying that type of money to learn adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing. No I'm not kidding thats what we spent the entire first week doing. I learned that in the third grade. They also have this thing in the syllabus that's professional points for the day. I'm not sure how they can expect their students to act with professionalism when they don't! I live in Illinois and this school is in Milwaukee so I moved to Wisconsin to attend this school so I didn't have to drive over an hour every day. The financial aid department was fully aware of this but called me to say I hadn't signed the paperwork for paying for school the day before the deadline. I told her I wouldn't sign anything without my parents looking over it first and she told me she would extend the deadline until Monday so I could take the paperwork home over the weekend. I go to her office on Friday when she told me to come pick it up (11:50 am) and she had left for the day! Without leaving the paperwork with the secretary. How frustrating!! Then I asked the secretary if my advisor was there and she informed me it was her last day working there. From the time I came to visit this school on July 28th to the time of me starting school Sept 21st I'd met with 2 separate advisors who both quit. Within 2 months! The whole feeling of the school is very shady. I dropped from the program right away without paying for a thing. I know I would've regret wasting over $30,000 on this program and I advise anyone looking into it to ask a ton of questions before committing. It may be a good fit for some but...

I regret going to this school. I had great expansions since my friend recommend me to go and had a wonderful experience. But not the same can be said in my part. I took a tour of the school they promise safety for there students and hands on training. Once I became a student, teachers pile homework.....math they need better teachers who know what they are teaching (miss.b). Miss.b did not know how to keep her personal life out of school. Always taking about how she had anger issues and like to brake things with her hammer. She would come to are class to talk to miss.z about her husband is cheating on her... My teacher miss.z would constantly tell me "I don't see how you will graduate." Even tell me "it's probably better off dropping out." My internship was horrible. I am disappointed with the staff that did not worry about my safety when doing my clinicals. The first location they sent me was discussing. Miss.Z worried me of a student that she is GHETTO and loud if there was problems to tell her and she'll relocate me. I when there and I'll I seen was CROSS CONTAMINATION, the doctor would be doing a procedures and leave the room to go to the office and leave the instruments at the office. Which was the front desk. I would file folders and he would touch folders with duty even bloody gloves on. I asked my my teacher Ms.z and the only thing she said was "WHY DIDNT I TAKE INITIATIVE AND PUT IT IN THE INSTRUMENTS TO STERILIZE" I asked to get relocated worker and my teacher said it would be hard to find a new location and that I already signed the paper to go there. That left me to deal with it. A worker there was a students from M.C.C she is GHETTO. Since I got there she would tell me "they must of not liked you if you got sent here. Only black or ghetto girls come here. Or they want you to fail) even though she was not professional I never had an issue with her. Until she stole my ipad, yelling at me with racial slurs. Went to my face and wanted to fight me. The doctor didn't do anything. I went directly to my school and complained they seemed more worried about my ipad being stolen then my safety. They did what every they could to get it back called there IT tech guy even called icloud. I never got it back. Once I graduated and got a job because the school does not help you get a job as they say. They found out where I was working and talked to my boss and send them papers to get credit as if they got me my job. I asked them to stop I was not going to sign the papers that they got me MY JOB. And they still send letters to my boss so he could sign it. As proffered I got a job of the help off Milwaukee career college. I wish I would of gone to M.A.T.C less expensive and way more hands on. $13,000 to go to Milwaukee career college and I'm not even certified. Don't wast your money...

I decided to attend this school because I was interested in becoming a dental assistant. Everything sounded great and promising but in reality its not. If I have known that in the state of Wisconsin that you don't need to be certified or go to school to become a dental assistant I would have never done so. I have come across many assistants and NONE of them have been to school for the position. During my 8 months at this school, we were buckled down with LOTS of HOMEWORK!! The program should really FOCUS on hands on CLINICAL PROCEDURES vs book work because DOCTORS ONLY CARE ABOUT EXPERIENCE not book work. My externship site was really nice compared to my fellow classmates sites but I feel like I over achieved for absolutely nothing. They did not hire me on and decided to go behind my back to hire someone that fit their "mold" (polish, blond hair& blue eyes) of a dental assistant .and guess what, that person no longer works for them smh. I could not find a job as a dental assistant because everybody wanted someone with more experience and they thought that it was suspicious that my externship did not hire me. So 3 months later, I had to resort to working for a shady dental office that hires ANYBODY just to gain this so called experience. Problem is I'm not a real dental assistant just a body that takes X-rays all day. I'm trying to find work at small dental offices but they want people with actual skills. I am screwed!! I want to go back to school but feel like it's a waste of time and my CREDITS from this school WILL NOT TRANSFER over to other schools. My advice to you is to do your research. Find out if you need to go to school for the career your interested in. I wasted so much time, energy, and hope for this program...
