Lackawanna College

From top to bottom, no one is willing to help you or cares about your success. You either get no response to your questions or a condescending one.

The ultrasound program is extremely misleading. It is said to be an excellent program with lots of help, however there is a ridiculous amount of work with barely any notes given to you. There is no instructor in the lab unless a student goes to ask for help and I'm sorry, but new students who don't even know how to work an ultrasound machine (because there is no class on machine instruction) are going to have a lot of questions, too many to have to keep going into the instructor's office and keep asking for help, especially since they aren't the most approachable people in the world. They also say that your classes will be part lecture and part lab time, but there was only one class that our teacher took us to the lab, all of the other classes took us once the entire semester. The school has rarely graduated more than 5 students and of those 5 very few, if any have yet to be employed. The school is very sneaky and in order to find out things you really have to pick and pry at the instructors and they aren't ashamed to make you feel as if you are nagging them. I wish i had known someone that had gone through this program, or could have found a review on line to let me know the truth about this school and their Ultrasound program. Although they are currently a CAAHEP accredited program, they are extremely unorganized and unhelpful. I've never attended a school that I felt they wanted their students to do bad. I would not recomend this school to any of my friends or family, or anyone for that matter
