I cant say one good thing about thisSuper BrilliantOther
I cant say one good thing about this school. I have been there for a little over 2 years because they have changed my "expected" graduation date about 4 times. I have read all the other reviews and seems like we are all on the same page, this place only cares about the money not STUDENTS EDUCATION, it is a shame that this place can run like this. I have heard for the past 3 semesters that Nursing Program is on PROBATION. If it wasn't because I have 1 class left to "graduate" I would drop out of the program. The graduation rate is less than 50%. It is embarrassing. I will never ever ever recommend this school to anyone. Teachers just pass students without even trying because they know this school is a joke! Seriously save your money and time. You wont learn a thing.

Question
I've been to several schools because of movingSuper BrilliantAccounting
I've been to several schools because of moving around, and this is one of the worst schools ever. There is a constant rotation of teachers. I am guessing it is probably, based off of what one of my teachers said, because of the abuse and low pay. People with master's or doctorate degrees getting paid around $30,000 (according to one of my very honest professors as far as I can tell)? That is insulting, and I'm not even a teacher. The people who work in administration and recruiting make more money than the full-time professors - what a crock! And it seems they work the teachers to death. Also, there are a few "higher ups" who are creepy as hell (inappropriate touching - one stroked my back - without my permission, of course). Also, there are strange smells everywhere and chemical smells that have made me and several other students sick. As far as the students, some are nice, but most are incredibly "ghetto," and that is putting it mildly. Students walk in in the middle of class, and the teachers really have no recourse. In addition, there are some very, very uneducated students who I wouldn't trust to get near me with a harmless feather much less a needle or trust with my life (EMS and nursing students). Students are being hoodwinked left and right - especially international students. Man, a majority of the students better just be talented naturally because this is one mess of a place. Save your money and yourself - do not go here. P.S. The positive reviews: I guarantee they were written by the admin or recruiting staff. City College is a racket.

Question
This was my worse experience ever with aSuper Brilliant
This was my worse experience ever with a school! Everyone only cares about getting your money. No one actually cares about your education. People at this school don't know how to do their job. The teachers I have had that are somewhat good have been fired and replaced with teachers who know nothing! Please save your time, money, and energy. Your are better off at a community college.
