"I been going here at mechatronics technician course. The teachers are burnt out dont feel like they are paid enough and kinda just pass you. When you ask for help the attitude is I don't get paid enough or you will learn on job. Kinda lazy if you ask me. The class and labs are set up nice. My wife is in the clark college cybersecurity program she was told starting salary 100k then at end of program they let you know you will start as a entry level it specialist entry level position because every job requires 2 years of experience. This school lies and all teachers are hard to get ahold of because they feel they are under paid and over worked. The only teachers that seem to be helpful at all are the ones doing the usless filler classes that they make you pay for"

"Fyi, I am biased because I work at Clark College, but I was also a student here, during the pandemic."

"The people you can meet here are interesting, and it's a great place if you love stress. Any student coming here should expect to have to self-teach, and to expect to lose a lot of enthusiasm for learning. Many buildings have poor ventilation and some lack A/C and heat. The rest of the campus is fairly easy enough once you are used to it, there's a lot of parking lots but they're mostly small and scattered. It's easy to apply and get started for the most part, but the phone is never a reliable way to reach them and there are many times you can be the only one in a department but they're still struggling to find someone that can help you. There's an extremely fast turnover rate with their teachers and staff. They're clearly underpaid and just closely follow a predetermined textbook course layout. It's content you can (and will) find online for free. In-class lectures are often just reviewing the required reading material and many courses do not provide enough time to ask questions in class. All classes will end up relying on the student to self-teach, I have yet to find an exception outside of a few of their more rare hands-on programs in during later degree courses, which still required a lot of self-learning. Even the teachers end up pointing more towards free courseware (Khan academy, MIT's free course material, YouTube resources, etc) If you have no option, it works. It's better than PCC at least. They do have access to more interesting programs and extracurriculars that are free for students to get involved with as well. That's truly the biggest perk here and anybody going here should take advantage of all the opportunities they can give you, you won't have access to those chances anymore once you're out of school"

"The nursing program.... good luck. The professor first quarter... I dont even know how she is still teaching. Our entire cohort filed complaints against her and the program and all they do is protect themselves. They aren't out to see you succeed. They are corrupt. I always thought Clark College had an amazing program based on their own statements. Most of us found out, that's not the case. Ask anyone from 1st-6th quarter. Go anywhere else for Nursing school. I promise you won't regret it! Don't settle for less."

"High tech , very well provisioned dental clinic, very friendly staff, and very well trained, with a very good and over verified procedures. Time spent here seems a lot longer than regular dental visits since the doctors have to verify and recommend all the students work, but we are very happy with the outcome since we did get very good care."
