I have had problems with this school from the time I startedMy counselor gave me a timeline to follow for my courses, but the timeline was more time than I had to finishSo I ended up going past my semester datesThe most trouble I had was with the director of the "Externship" programI was having a hard time finding a location to do my Externship and she was absolutely no help to meWhen I found a location and submitted my paperwork, I never received an email stating my paperwork had been receivedOut of concern, I emailed the director several times to check with her about my paper work but I never was answeredI called several times with no answer and left several voicemails for her and again she didn't respond for over a weekThen it was a hassle with my paperwork It was over a month before she submitted my paperworkWhen I emailed to ask how the approval process was going she told me she had only submitted it a week before and I needed to give it time (although it had already been a month by now.) we emailed back and forth a couple times that day and in her last email she rudely responded with, "understand that every time I have to respond to your emails it is preventing me from actually working on the paperwork." I do not appreciate her attitude nor her inability to perform her job

You know you have to pay so pay your billsEvery school is not perfect and you can’t let one persons action destroy a whole schoolThe school is great for people who want to get their diploma and move onPeople are mad because they have to payThat’s why they give bad reviewsThis school is great and has helped me a lotGo to the school and see for yourself! They care and they really help you!
