I attended the Dental Hygiene Program here (because it is the first in the country and I thought it would be the best), but left the school disgruntled after sticking it out for one semester. While some of the teachers can be nice and friendly, others were just awful. They could come off as condescending and you were expected to "know" the material immediately, even if they failed to teach it properly. Also, how is it possible that I managed to get all "f"s in one class, yet my final grade was a "c" for that class? Something seems fishy there. I felt like nobody was willing to help me out and teach me. While attending, I was in a constant state of stress and frustration. I have never given up on something once I have set my mind on it, but this school was so terrible that I had to get out. Upon withdrawing, I also lost my $6,000 financial "award". The streets surrounding the school flood with heavy rain, so there is no way to make it to class. The area isn't that safe, even though they will give you a personal alarm for the illusion of safety; you should stay on campus. I would never recommend this school to anybody. The quality of education is poor. Stick to a community college and then do your research and go elsewhere. This school is too expensive to be in the poor condition it is in and to take this much money from students in exchange for the lousy education that you will receive is just robbery. Do yourself a favor an look up the retention rate of this school and take a tour before you commit to it. I wish I had seen an honest review such as this before I had attended.
