 | Quite Bright | I am a Medical Coding/Billing student at the RLA Campus in Cranberry Township PA. I have found the faculty to be impressive in there competence and experience within the course material being taught. We have had Margie Stackhouse, Pete Viola, Terri Barbour and Linda Raab as our instructors thus far. Each instructor has had their own teaching style and approach but all have had a huge degree of experience in their fields and have been very genuine in their care and concern for the students and for the students understanding of the materials. The coursework is very intensive and requires a lot of time to complete and to study but it is an accredited program so they are sure to meet those guidelines with their expectations set forth. Going into this, I knew I was taking a 2 year course in a year and that is why I chose this school. A lot of students have lodged significant complaints about the courseload and have not seperated the teacher from the subject matter. The teachers are expected to get through substantial amounts of material in a short amount of time. The fact that the workload is intense is not their problem it is the result of our choosing to take this course in half the amount of time that is normally required at four year institutions. We are being instructed by the best of teachers in their fields and I am very satisfied with the education I am receiving. I saw a reference on here to Nancy Nestor as "Nasty" Nestor and musy say that I do not agree with this at all. I have had significant health issues this term and she has gone out of her way to accomodate my needs during this time. She has always addressed every concern I have or finds a way to meet a particular need I am presented with. How immature of someone to make such a statement! Pete Viola is the kindest of teachers and very gifted in explaining the materials taught and reaching out to the needs of the class. Linda, Margie and Terri are very concerned with our retention and recollection of course work and are all heart. Each of our instructors have gone out of their way to make learning fun for us. This is not a school for the lazy but a school for those who are serious about learning and want to have the instructors with the most experience in their field. I am glad to have chosen this school. | Faculty Accessibility: A+, Extracurricular Activities: F | | | |

| Quite Bright | You will get out of the school what you put into the school. There are instructors who will listen and spend the time with you if you need them to. There are tutors who will sit with you. The learning center will help you if needed. Everyone is friendly, including staff and faculty. I see people from all walks of life, including the handicapped students in the hallways. Why would anyone think that handicapped students don't have the right to a higher education? To say that PTI will accept anyone willing to pay the money is completely false. Some of my friends applied and did not make it in. Negative attitudes, sloppy appearances and bad grades will not get you a job after PTI, nor would it get you a job after any 4 year college either. Face it, employers don't want full body tatoos, facial piercings and green and yellow hair. PTI can only guide and teach you, but ultimately, you have to make the decision to excel in your program and put your best foot forward to get a good job after graduation. Some of my friends with a 4 year degree are now working at Starbucks because they can't get a job either. Let's face it, the economy is bad. Why should an employee hire you versus the other 100 people who sent them a resume?? You have to make yourself shine at the interview. PTI can't come along on the interviews with you. They already clothe you and teach you how to act at the interview. Personally, I think if you love the guidance and enjoy people knowing your name, then PTI is the place for you. If you want to be a number and have instructors not care if you ever come to a classroom to learn, then one of those big colleges are right up your alley. Talk to both types of schools and make the right decision for YOU, not your friends and not your parents. | Campus Aesthetics: A+, Surrounding City: C- | | | |
