"Place is set up like a literal prison you gotta sign out to leave and can only leave at certain times and on top of that you only get like 40$ every 2 weeks so unless your parents really care about you don’t go here this place is pretty great if you want to still get treated like your in junior high"

"It's good if you want an education but don't try to make friends or trust anyone they will stab you in the back"

"I have waited to get in the school for almost 3 years I finally got in and they removed me because of a heart monitor but nothing was wrong, than after a year of obstacles to get in the school I go in today the staff are rude , non cooperative, and aggressive, also dysfunctional, I got here staff made fun of me for having narcan because my dad died of an OD and when respectfully confronted they tried to kick me out send me home and then proceeded to enter my face,asked what was I gonna do when I asked for a supervisor they said no and continued to be aggressive . I was removed but staff wasn't disciplined the dean never apologized for there behavior just removed me from campus. Horrible first starts . If I could speak to someone higher than the dean I would love to . Very unacceptable and don't feel like a safe enviorment . They have a real power trip up there ."

"The program is extremely disorganized. They made me wait for months to start a trade and then made me switch from the trade. Giving me false hope that I would be starting soon. And then saying I’d have to switch because there wasn’t an instructor. There is no communication between students and staff. Also, if they mess, something up you have to figure it out by yourself. The staff will just pass you off between people saying you need to go to someone else to get something fixed. I have had multiple issues with my pay, And even after talking to multiple people (including theyre finance department), they still have not been able to resolve a simple issue. One in which has an easy solution. People are just to lazy to see it through. If the program changes before I leave, this review will change, but as of now I feel as if I’ve been wasting my time. I strongly recommend Looking at another trade, school (if your trying to be a cna or sma) or high school. I’m not saying you can’t get stuff done here, but it’s not worth the headache and stress. The staff are actually the people who make a lot of the experience more stressful. Also, it is a regular occurrence for people here to make false promises, so do not get your hopes up with anything they tell you."

"You get ur trade and u can live their but they are bad at helping with housing they are bad at helping you with the job u wanted or a job that's close to the trade you took the cancellers hate doing their jobs and the bathrooms are discussing"
