National University - La Jolla (La Jolla, California) ticked (Guest)

Save yourself the grief...Do not consider National University. If you do...be aware that the school might outsource your training without your knowledge. You may think that you are signing up for a class with National University (because the way they do it is slick and underhanded). Then the training I received was less than adequate. Just make sure you check everything and know what you are getting before you sign up with them. -

Hilbert College (Hamburg, New York)Frank Castiglia (Guest)

Hilbert College is a fine institution that is on the upswing. The campus is growing as each year passes. The Business Administration Bachelor's Degree program at Hilbert College is rigorous and worthwhile. The Hilbert College SIFE team has had great success due to the hard work by both Professor Roland and the students which make up the team. In 2009, Hilbert College SIFE placed in the top thirty in the nation at the National SIFE competition in Philadelphia, PA. I strongly suggest taking a look at Hilbert College to see what it has to offer. Hilbert College has taught me to make the most out of a situation. It is what you put into a school that makes it a great place. Hilbert has many different majors and is most well known for its Criminal Justice program. The Political Science program that is offered at Hilbert College is outstanding as well. I have liked Hilbert so much that I have chosen to pursue two bachelor's degrees at the college. In closing, if you are unsure as to where you want to make your next move in terms of a college education I suggest Hilbert College!Ratings

School of Advertising Art (Kettering, Ohio) Let down student! (Guest)
6 days ago
1 person found this review interestingComment
I just recently found out that a friend of mine was dismissed from school during the last project of the year! First of all SAA is only a two college school, and the teachers over all are not that impressive. I had a better teacher at the career center I attended the year before attending. I will say that the staff is very nice, and the people you meet are possible life long friends plus the projects provided are effective, and great portfolio pieces. On the other hand there are is a long list of things that are problematic about the school. 1. The price is incredibly high. 44thousand! Which at first you say to your self...thats not bad for a private graphic design college, with one on one teacher to student contact. Sadly this price is paid for Average and below Average teachers, the one color printer that is there only works 70% of the time, there is no college housing, its difficult to get outside hours to dicuss problems with teachers. 2.You should go to school. You should attend because if you dont you will not learn things that will someday help you in the future; BUT; there are mant days that you just dont do anything! You sit around all day literaly, because the quater changed on Thursday and no one wants to start on Friday. For those that live in Kettering its not that big of a deal but for those driving half hour to hour distances to school its a waste of gas, time, and extra sleep hours. You cant take off on those days during the winter to get home before its dark because its marked absence. You miss 5 days your out! 3. The grading system if stricter than most schools. This is going to happen; its college. But they dont teach you want they should and then they mark your points off for doing somthing they didnt teach you, and its difficult working for teachers. Luckly I knew before attending and thats what I thought SAA would be would be an extension on my education. 95% of the students didn't know what they were doing and the whole first few months was relearning the programs. The teachers dont teach you the programs, they make the internet teach you and then throw you into large projects and stricktly grade them. 4. The teachers will completely be indirect with you, and you will fail because of this. In the real graphic design world you will get clients that really dont know what they want and you do what they say and then they dont like it, and you go back to the drawing board. You dont flunk out of graphic design and loose a client! SAA teachers will tell you the project and guidelines and then they will tell you things that want to see and what they like and dont like. Like real clients, but then they tell you "make the background blue." If you change it they will mark off points and say "Could have made background green." Which was what you had before! Then if they tell you that and dont make the background blue, they mark points for not changing it. 5. They tell you they have such a high completion rate and numbers in the career feild. They have those numbers because; there are only 100-150 people in the school and then by the end of the years theres 70-80 they kick people out left and right. Over all SAA yes is a good school if you are willing to throw 44 thousand into it and then put up with a bunch of bull and in order to really get anything out of it you have to take the associates degree and its hell to get a job because you are in academics until 6 and unless you work night hours your not getting a job on that schedule! I suggest as a former student. Don't waste your time! Go to a cheeper school with college houseing. You will meet more people, do the same projects to complete your portfolio, have a higher graduation chance, and have the opprotunity to participate in many more things (sports and such)SAA's problem is that they dont put the effort and money into the current students. They cant help the students by getting another printer, creating more activities, and putting the effort into creating succeful steudnts without kicking a chuck of them out because they are more focused on recruiting. New students interested in receiving information dont get brochures. They get posters, pins, designed cameras. Most the schools money is directed on studensts that arnt there yet. Take my advice. I've lived through it! But if you want to take the risk...good luck! Your gonna need it. -

Harris School of Business (Cherry Hill, New Jersey) Warning (Guest)

2 people found this review interestingComment
I agree with the previous posts regarding Harris School of Business. The bloggers who penned these opinions are more accurate than they realize. As a former employee of Harris and their parent company, Premier Education Group, I can assure you that this is one outfit that you dont want to get involved with. Whether as a student, administrative employee or faculty member, if you are considering a relationship with this organisation, please do your research. Things are so bad with this company, it is my opinion that the schools operated by PEG will eventually be shut down by the Federal government. -

"Northwestern Business College - Virtual Campus"

Northwestern Business College (Chicago, Illinois)Gigi (Guest)

Northwestern Business College - Virtual Campus for the Health Information Technology is very good. Nearly all of my faculty encounters have been positive. Sadly, administration is typical adminitration - somewhat fractured. The online program is pretty good as well, but it is not always updated. Techinal support for remote students is not very good, though. Also, If you are interested in Greek Honors organizations as a virtual student - you may be out of luck! Nontheless, great faculty has made up for some of the oher shortfalls.Ratings

The school is very small in a simple building in the middle of not a really nice town . The admission is messy , they loose your papers and dont know what going on . They dont have information system so you dont even know if you are registered to courses or not. the proffesors are good except for the dean , who thinks he knows it all , and make you take courses you dont need to make more money . All the students are international , no americans , but the ultrasound program is good , the teachers are excellent . The courses are helpful for understanding business .Ratings

I am a recent graduate of OSOP and really liked it. I looked for a long time for a school that was reasonable in price and actually taught you rather than just talked at you. The instructors were really helpful and any time I had a problem, they really tried to fix it. I even have gone back in since graduation to get help on setting up some stuff and they were right there and took the time to walk me all the way through it.Ratings

i attended PCI in 2009 first let me start off with dont let them preasure you into attending there.....you will be better off getting a college degree.....they lie to you about everything and you will have to teach yourself because the teachers dont know anything its like they just picked someone off the street at random and asked thtm to come teach there.....they will not find you a job when your done once you finish you are on your own not to mention the cost to attend there is about the same as your first year at UNT........if you ever have a question everyone will go round and round because no one knows anything.....bottom line its a waste of time and moneyRatings
