Major: PreMed and Medical (This Major's Salary over time)
I DEFINATELY WISH I WOULD HAVE KNOWN ALL ABOUT SANFORD BROWN IN HAZELWOOD BEFORE I SIGNED MY SIGNATURE ON THE DOTTED LINE…MY ENTRANCE REP MADE EVERYTHING SOUND SO GOOD AND SHE SOLD ME ON ATTENDING! I ENROLLED FOR THE MEDICAL ASSISTING PROGRAM AND I WAS TOLD THAT WHEN I GRADUATED I WOULD RECIEVE AN ASSOCIATES DEGREE. WELL, LITTLE DID I KNOW, I WAS JUST TOLD 2 WEEKS AGO, 8 MONTHS INTO MY PROGRAM THAT MEDICAL ASSISTANTS RECIEVE A DIPLOMA! FOR $13,000 I RECIEVE A DIPLOMA? WE AS STUDENTS HAVE BEEN LIED TO OVER AND OVER AT THE HAZELWOOD CAMPUS. OUR FINANCIAL AID PAPERWORK HAS BEEN LOST OVER AND OVER, THEN FINANCIAL AID HAS NO CLUE AS TO WHAT THEY ARE DOING! THIS IS SERIOUS! THIS IS OUR MONEY HERE! OUR EDUCATION! WE DESERVE A GOOD EDUCATION. WE CONSTANTLY DEAL WITH VIOLENT STUDENTS, PEOPLE BEING MADE FUN OF IN THE HALLWAYS, FIGHTS AND POLICE OFFICERS MAKING ROUTINE VISITS TO OUR CAMPUS. THERE ARE ABSOLUTELY NO FUN ACTIVITIES FOR THE STUDENTS. NONE. OUR SPIRIT HAS BEEN BROKEN BY THIS CAMPUS. WE HAVE OMPLAINED TO THE DEANS. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE. BATHROOMS AT THE CAMPUS ARE A HEALTH CONCERN AND HAZARD. NEVER ANY TOILET PAPER. TOILETS ARE LEAKING WATER AND THE FLOOR IS WET. NO PAPER TOWELS ARE AVAILABLE. AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, IN THE MEDICAL ASSISTING LAB, WE NEVER HAVE PAPER TOWELS, SOAP, THE BIOHAZARDOUS BOXES FULL OF BLOOD AND BODY FLUIDS SIT IN THE LAB FOR DAYS OVERFLOWING AND WE HAVE NO SUPPLIES TO WORK WITH IN THE PROGRAM. SOME DAYS WE SIT IN THE CLASSROOM FOR 4 HOURS WITH NOTHING TO DO DUE TO NO SUPPLIES. IT TOOK ALMOST 5 MONTHS FOR MA STUDENTS TO RECIEVE THEIR SCRUBS. WE HAVE JUST HAD ENOUGH OF BEING TREATED AS IF WE DO NOT MATTER. SANFORD BROWN COLLEGE IN HAZELWOOD WOULD NOT BE OPEN IF IT WASN'T FOR OUR MONEY BEING BROUGHT IN. DOESN'T THE DEAN AND UPPER MANAGEMENT REALIZE AND SEE THE SAME ISSUES AND PROBLEMS THAT WE DO AS STUDENTS? THIS CAMPUS IS DISGUSTING. JUST HORRIBLE. I WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND ANYONE TO THIS COLLEGE. I HAVE SEEN SO MANY UPSETTING THINGS IN THIS COLLEGE OVER THE LAST 8 MONTHS AND I JUST WANT TO BE DONE. I HAVE SEEN A GIRL SLAPPED ACROSS TEH FACE, I HAVE SEEN STUDENTS BEING JUDGED UNFAIRLY BY THE DEANS AND UPPER MANAGEMENT AND THE TURNOVER RATE IS HORRIBLE. IN MANY CLASSES, WE HAVE HAD TO BOND TOGETHER AS MA STUDENTS AND TEACH EACH OTHER BECAUSE THE TEACHERS HAD NO CLUE HOW TO TEACH US! THIS WAS A DEVESTATING, DISSAPOINTING EXPIERIENCE AND I WILL NEVER SUBJECT MYSELF TO THIS AGAIN. I WILL RESEARCH DEEPER BEFORE SIGNING ON THE DOTTED LINE. THANK YOU.
