Platt College Alhambra

"I’ve been expanding my education for many years and this is by far the worst facility I’ve ever attended. I put a lot of the blame on enrollment and it seems that they are very deceptive. If you do take the plunge, read all the fine print and don’t trust what the enrollment employees have to say."

"I highly do not recommend this school for respiratory therapy. I attended the school about 2 years ago. I didn't retain anything. Everything had to be learned on my own. General classes, the teachers were bad. They just passed us to pass us. I suggest going to a community College. It will be cheaper and a bit longer but you will definitely get your money's worth!"

"I visited because I was interested in their LVN program. I just came to ask a few questions, but I was ushered from room to room and immediately pressured to enroll (and they even interviewed me? For a For-Profit school?) This company (I’m not even sure if it counts as a school because nothing about it seems academic) feels EXTREMELY predatory. I asked for them to evaluate my transcripts to see if credits transferred, see how much financial aid would cover, etc. I was given none of this information until I signed an entire stack of enrollment papers. They didn’t even give me a clear answer on what their class schedule was and classes start in 2 weeks. My gut was telling me something was off, because every person I talked to felt like a car salesmen. After some extensive googling (there are hardly enough reviews of this place) I discovered tons of people who complained about how they run their school and how expensive it is for little return. ALSO. They are nationally accredited, NOT regionally accredited. Regional accreditation counts for ALOT more then national. So getting an Associates or Bachelor’s from them means Jack Sh!t."

"Love my school, for those that are not use to a school that goes straight to the point and fast pace it may not be the school for you. HCT is priced everywhere the same the difference is their hands on program and smaller classes that make this school appropriate for self motivated students."

"DO NOT GO HERE!!! This school is completely unprofessional in every way shape and form! All the people workig there seem like they would rather be some where else. And a lot of people quit without any warning and leave you to figure out everything on your own. I do not feel that I will be able to get a job after having gone to this school! I feel I should have learned a lot more and been held accountable for knowing all the information. I went here for the DMS program and I should have known it would be like that after just the admissions process. I lost count of how many times I called and emailed to try to get information about enrolling. Even my mom tried because I thought maybe they just weren't taking me seriously because I was young. Then when I was finally in, it turns out they had enrolled to many students so I had to wait another 2 months to start. The only reason I even decided to continue was because it was accredited (which its not anymore!). Through out my time there I delt with unprofessional clinical coordinators and program directors. It took them 2 months to find me a clinical site when I was told that they would provide everyone with sites! Due to that I shouldn't have graduated on time but I worked my butt off to make up all the missing hours and managed to finish by my original graduation date. Now it has been almost 2 weeks and I still have not received my transcripts, letter of completion, or diploma, all of which you need to take your state tests. We were supposed to be able to take our state tests as soon as we graduated and I am still not able to apply."
