I never went here because I went into register for the Automotive program and found out there is a constant wait of 4-6 hours to speak to a career advisor. When I entered the VA office, I was met almost as if I was in basic training. Joy is the front desk person in that office and seemed very disgruntled. She barked orders and rolled her eyes when I asked her questions and yes,another 3+ hour wait. When joy told me the wait would be an additional 3 hours after my first 2 hour wait I told her I would rather go to a University with some clout. I mean lets face it, if the VA is paying, its just not worth a week of stress and waiting to get into a Community College that doesn't even have good ratings.Joy replied with, "you'll be paying way more than your GI bill covers and Veterans come here first because Veterans always need special assistance, and Veterans can't get into good four year Universities" etc. Basically it was a 20 minute factless argument with the intention to convey the message that the GI bill won't cover good schools and that veterans lack the mental capacity to attend other schools. Half of the people waiting got up and left with me. Good job Joy. You organization is not worth the GI bill.

Ok listen, ppcc wasn't a bad school. Do they over rate the dental assisting program? Absolutely! Oh ya, you will make $13.00 an hour to start....BULL. lets see, I pretty much run an entire front office for $7.50 an hour.....thousands of dollars for school to get paid minimum wage isn't worth it. Save yourself the hassle and cost of school and apply to a dental office on your own. Schools only want your money and they will get it and tell u u HAVE to have a stupid degree. They are lying. It's stupid!

They process GI Bill paperwork 6 months too slow putting hundreds of veterans in financial hardship. Then have the nerve to treat you like a second class citizen when you ask about it. They make a mistake and put it back on the veteran as to not bring the spotlight on their internal issues. Great Teachers, horrible admin department. This is my reason for withdrawing. The GI Bill was intended to help veterans get the required certificate for the life training they already have that goes unrecognized, not to make state institutions rich.
