20 Best 2 Year Nursing Programs In Austin, TX (2022 Updated)

This is a great university! The psychology undergrad program prepared me for success in my current counseling psychology master’s program quite well. The faculty are fantastic and the campus is gorgeous. I appreciated Spanish tutoring with Dr. Escamilla provided by the school as well as numerous career development, grad school application, recreational, and internship placement opportunities! I only wish it was a bit more affordable as even with scholarships it’s quite pricey. But, I am glad they pay their faculty, and I do think they spend the money well on resources that directly positively impact students. They have a career resource center that’ll help alumni with resumes, searching for jobs and more! The gym and yoga studio are great. One of my psychology professors had us meditate as part of class and we did things like go outside to paint together and go to yoga! It was a positive psych class so it fit. This isn’t to say the university was easy or without academic rigor because it was challenging and involved plenty of difficult academic work including research! I do feel it was social justice oriented as I appreciated the Mexican American cultural class in Spanish I took told from an indigenous professor and perspective, though to be even more socially just, reduce the price of tuition! I enjoyed that I knew at least half of the faculty and they knew me and remembered me and would say hi years after I took their class; so much better than just being a number in a big lecture hall! It may not have the rankings or prestige of some larger universities and how can it being so small, but the quality of education and experience is high. Only 1 student was mean to me 1 time my entire undergrad career. Really recommended! I would not have been prepared for my current grad program without SEU…don’t think I would have even gotten in otherwise because I was taught at SEU how to write an ideal essay, APA publication format, interview and interpersonal skills, and was able to achieve high grades because the learning experience is so high; I got my disabilities accommodated for instance. Literally the only reason I cannot give 5 stars is the exorbitant cost that limits many people so they can’t attend or will have a lot of debt. Otherwise, fantastic!Alysia Duemler

I completely agree with a post below about how much I loved this school, yet upon graduation I felt lost and unprepared for the “real world”. I think the staff and curriculum is amazing, I wouldn’t choose differently, but St Eds was like a dream state of mind. That being said , I have obtained a different bachelors degree since graduation and changed my field of study. More real world practicality from the programs perhaps would help prepare future graduates to succeed ! Thank you st Ed’s for an amazing undergrad experience nonetheless, that I will cherish forever. So many people, myself included, met their current spouse/partners here 🙂Madison Freeman

I wanted to make a shitpost review but I can't think of anything funny and I also honestly really like St Eds. It's a good school. If you're ambitious, passionate, and hard working, the teachers will do everything in their power to help you succeed, even if you have mental illness or other problems most people might look down on you for. I really think I'm going to have a good shot at grad school with the support I've gotten at St. Eds and that's not something I'd be able to say about many other schools.Christina

This school has a major issue with bullying among students. And with no enforced system to deal with this problem that takes a toll on all of their students lives, this university has a blatant disregard for their students wellbeing- placing favor on well known and “paid-in” students/families leaving the majority of students neglected. It’s sad to see the corruption and money hungry actions by this “University”Victoria Rudduck

The campus is absolutely beautiful and we fell in love with this place the moment we arrived. The faculty went above and beyond with welcoming potential students and that by far was the best part of the trip. I am confident that my child will be in good hands. Highly reccomendKenneth Graves

We went there for a college visit and Dylan Jones was a wonderful rep. for the school. He gave us the tour and answered all our questions. This is definitely top choice for our child. We live in the DFW area and very impressed with this University. It was worth the trip!!s. taylor

I’ve been going here for a couple of years, teachers are really kind and helpful and lots of times easygoing and funny. the people at the bookstore are always kind, as well as the counselors they’re very helpful. everyone here seems to genuinely care about the students and that’s something i appreciate.little troublr

Beautiful campus and accommodating during Covid. It's been great to have in-person lectures and class. There are still some campus events, career days, and visits from 4 year colleges for when you're ready to transfer. The staff and advisors have been so helpful.Michelle Nolte

Bye Bye Birdie was presented perfectly!! The energy and actors were phenomenal!! As usual everyone was crazy friendly, and the theater was super clean. This is one of my favorite places to enjoy some culture, go check it out!!K Neil

I took classes after having graduated from a different university years ago. The administration here – specifically, admissions and Student Business Services – is horrible to work with. Rude, don't answer their phones, poor automated phone system, basically take your money and make you live with the poor customer service they provide because once you're enrolled, you don't have a choice, right? Additionally, I took a class from the worst professor I have ever had. His name I unfortunately can't recall. He patronized students who weren't well-versed in calculus and was rude in general. His teaching method consisted entirely of projecting pages of the book on the board and copying the sample problems. I couldn't believe it. He did not answer and student questions and did not seem to care about his students or his own abilities as a professor. I actually stopped attending the course, wasting a thousand dollars, because I couldn't sit through another class. This is coming from a person who LOVES school and has been a teacher for four years.Alexandra C.

I really like this school! People overall are friendly, and very helpful. I ll miss it here. And living on campus wasn't bad either I had a great dorm experience. Im graduating soon and I feel confident I will find a job through my hard work. Work very hard. Yes it's fun. But don't slip up your freshman year. Your gpa will be hard to get back up even when you make good grades. You got to make great grades. Don't party too hard. Education is something that should be taken seriously! But don't give up. One thing I would suggest is not being an undecided major. I regret that. Find something you're passionate about or something you like the most or feel is most beneficial to you and pick that as your major. I usually liked my professors and I would go here again!Khadeidra Richardson

In summary: Overcrowded, nearly over-priced, but with under-funded departments. Not handicapped friendly or even fat person friendly (they haven't upgraded half the lecture halls so if you're not stick thin be prepared to sit uncomfortably in a tight chair surrounded by hundreds of other people). Near non-existent diversity. Do not transfer here, you will receive no assistance. If this is all you can afford and if you manage to find a place to live near enough to campus then this school is OKAY. Otherwise, I would say look elsewhere for better upgraded facilities and friendlier student population.Marisa Pickett

My daughter will begin her sophomore year at CTX next week and she had an amazing freshman experience last year. She lived on campus, which is very safe, clean and engaging community. The dorms are new and very well maintained. The cafeteria food is very good, but like any student it's not home cooking, but they offer healthy choices and a good variety daily. There are MANY opportunities to get involved and the professors are amazing at CTX! This is a small school but with the benefits of a top notch education. The staff challenges the students to serve in the local community and share their talents while pursuing their education. There are opportunities to go on mission trips and our daughter went to Africa for 10 days. She had an amazing experience. Our daughter missed a few days of classes due to an infection and the professors were very understanding. It's a family at CTX and she was immediately welcomed into the family and well cared for as a new student. As her parents and being many miles away, it was reassuring to know what a great community we left her in last fall. We are CTX's biggest fans and have a number of students attending this year, as well as next year because of her great experience. Visit this campus, stay with a current student overnight and get the full experience. If you are looking for a great education, you will be amazed at the talent they assembled in their staff and the excellent students who attend this wonderful school. As a fan of online reviews and listening to the advice of others, I am happy to take the time and share our amazing experience and encourage you to take a look at this special college.Shannon Schmidt

I love it here at Concordia! I am currently in a summer class here and will be attending my second year at Concordia in the fall. The campus is beautiful and the professors are understanding and very helpful. I love the smaller class sizes they make me feel like I am actually getting what I'm paying for. Tuition for a private school isn't all that bad. I got into 5 other private colleges and 3 state colleges and this was the best rate. With a scholarship paying school off in full isn't all that difficult. I love it here at Concordia and I'm very proud to be a part of the tornado family. I'm glad I chose Concordia over my other options.Nicole Zon

I attended the Dallas/Fort Worth campus of Concordia University for a Masters in Education and overall my experience was horrific. My e-mails were ignored for days to weeks from the administration in both Dallas and Austin on important matters ranging from financial aid to course requirements. The campuses appeared to not be able to communicate with one another on even the most basic of tasks which made it incredibly annoying. It has been a frustrating period with this University. I do not recommend this school for a Masters program and if you dare to brave it make sure you steer clear of their Dallas/Fort Worth campus.Jean M

I love the professors. Temple College is lucky to have professors that have doctorate degrees to teach. As a students, we are lucky to pay a junior college price for access to PhD 's. Those are the professors I choose from when given the opportunity in my degree plan. The business management of the junior college could use some training in customer service and fully understand the job they do. I have learned to always have my military files with me since the files have a tendency to be lost every other semester. I never knew that I earned the President's List or the Vice President's List awards until they announced it at my graduation. Student life is hampered by lack of support from staff and lack of student interest. I hope that this college will continue to grow, take on a supportive/student oriented attitude, and attract the quality professors and staff the college needs to grow. I look forward to my tax dollars at work showing improvement and multiplying to better serve the community.Jane Smith

I loved this college. I met a lot of really great people while here, but more importantly I felt the teachers were fair and prepared me to go to University. Also if you are not part of TRIO you should go there. I spent a lot of time there and met really good people like Debbi Owens, Tina Marsh and Cecilia. I would do my homework there and receive help and tutoring. It is a wonderful thing for the College to allow students to access programs like these and I am hoping that more people can create programs like these. I received my Associate's Degree here and racked up a lot of transfer credit. I would come back and do it all over again if I had the chance. Great SchoolRay Beecham

I was in their nursing program and I passed all the exams with mid Bs. My clinical instructor made up many violations and forced me to accept them. She further used those violations to give me very low grade (25 out of 91) on my midterm evaluation despite the fact that I was never late for clinical and I handed in all my paperwork on time. It is obviously discrimination. I had to withdraw from the course because you can not fight discrimination with hard-work. I will give it a minus star if I can.Chun-Wei Lin

I actually attend the other campus, but have had to stop by here for books or to see the proff. So far it seems like a very organized campus. I've come at different times of the day and there's always parking (sometimes further away, but I carry an umbrella for the sun) Once there were mariachi playing outside. The employees are always very helpful & professional and most of the students appear to be engaged in their environment. The bathrooms have always been clean when I've gone. I've taken 3 courses so far and the classes have been very engaging. This is a career change for me so I'm older, but I don't feel out of place.Gracie G

🚩🚩FEB 2022🚩🚩 Mexican guy try to robbed Me. STORY TIME I was at the Activity Center/Game Room. I was painting some pots. I went to go get my plate.

I was excited about going back to school it’s been 8 years and then I get bounced back and forth from one department to another and finally they tell me you have to get in contact with the Counseling department so I did I called and sent out an email on November 4 and haven’t gotten a response 🤔 maybe they are understaffed, okay but I’ve called 5 times today November 11 and no one answered I don’t get it 🤦🏽‍♂️ I honestly I don’t. How sadHugo De Hoyos

I’m in Mrs. Emily’s, CMA (certified Medical Assistant) morning class from 9am-1pm. I’m currently one of the ambassadors for my CMA program and I have met many interesting people while representing my class. I started the class on January 6th of 2022. I currently reside in killeen/Harker Heights, TX., area. I choose to attend the Austin area Cybertex after visiting the reviews online and the school. I learned that the teacher for the Austin location was also the director of the school, this let me know that she had a vested interest in her students success and I was correct. Mrs. Emily is beyond helpful and interested in her “babies “ students learning and understanding each subject matter. I drive and hour and 20 minutes to get to class and haven’t missed a day as of yet because of the encouragement of Mrs. Emily and the subject matters interest me and I don’t want to miss anything. I could have chosen to go to a number of other CMA that were closer to home but I drive here because of Mrs. Emily and her teaching style. If you are looking to get your foot into healthcare or trying to get a leg up on getting into a competitive nursing school program, like I am, this is an awesome place to start and an amazing instructor to learn from. Thank you Mrs. Emily.First Lady

Making the choice to attend CyberTex has been one of the best decisions I have made. From day one, the staff was friendly and accommodating, and ensured that any concerns I had were addressed and I truly felt I was in good hands and not just a number like at other institutions. The instructors are welcoming and knowledgeable. They truly take the time to make new students feel like an asset to the school. Specifically Mrs. Emily, the director and day-time instructor for the CCMA program makes the learning process engaging for students with all levels of medical background. She always goes above and beyond to ensure that the content used in class is relevant and does not shy away from making necessary correlations between the curriculum and real life applications. Her extensive experience and enthusiasm for the field is ever-apparent and makes for a truly refreshing learning experience that every classroom should aim to mimic. The work she assigns is of a level that effectively reinforces the material covered in class but also allows for students to maintain a good amount of time for life outside of school. I am thankful that she tailors the course to not only the end of course certification tests, but also to the limits of what we as students are wanting to learn.Kameron Hill

If you are contemplating on attending CyberTex for the Medical Assistant (MA) Program, just do it! Mrs. Emily Winston, Director of the MA Program and the instructor of the day class. Mr. Bell is the instructor of the night class. These two instructors are not only awesome, but make an awesome team. They compliment each other as teaching partners as they both teach in their own different ways, but yet, have the same purpose….helping and teaching their students. Classes are packed full of the Body Systems and much much more that will get you ready for the CCMA Certification. I am in the day class with Mrs. Winston and the way she teaches for a slow , old timer (like me) is perfect!!! I didn't go to college as school wasn't for me. Although, since being in Mrs. Winston's class, I am at 100% with my grades which is absolutely amazing and all thanks to her and her teaching style. If I can do it, anyone can. Our class is a fun bunch. Add Mr. Bell from the night class into our day mix and man oh man….we are rockin'. Labs are hands on. We practice injections and drawing blood on each other, the real deal. Come join the MA Program, you won't regret it!!!!!!!Elaine Vinklarek

Don't EVER go to get your teeth worked on by the dental students. They butchered my husband's mouth. No antibiotics…nothing for pain! He had two teeth pulled and they cut him open and the stitches were not done correctly at all. The Dr. said to the students…it looks ok. And left. My husband a few days later had to go to the ER because he was getting pain going into his head and chest. He couldn't even swallow! Over $800.00 dollars for ER visit and we had to pay for THREE prescriptions! NEVER GO THERE! THEY DON'T CARE!Susan Winchester

Really had bad experiences. My daughter had fever and stomach pain. I had to wait for my turn for 1 hour. Even I was on time. But there was no room available. I ask the front office lady she said she can't do anything. It was a poor choice I made I will never go there again.marrium saad

I am a University Employee, these other reviews are incorrectly places they are for the Lone Star Circle of Care clinics in our building, however they placed the reviews here under the University.Paul Broadway

I’m a local Austin nurse for over the last decade, one of many professions that require among perhaps others, basic life support certification by the American Heart Association, and every two years I go to this facility for it. It’s quick, it’s fast, they’re knowledgeable, and as someone who procrastinates down to the wire of needing to renew my BLS, there is always a class that I can sign up tomorrow (in my experience). If for nothing else, add their contact and website to your notes app. If you need a cert, check these guys out. I no longer need to keep ACLS up to date, so I couldn’t speak to that. But if you take BLS often, then you’ll know these certs can be certain degrees of tedious. I’d say over the years, I’ve never complained about that with these guys and gals.Ken Dait

Very helpful to have a place to go to for CPR renewal vs call individual CPR certified trainers who are hard to contact or don’t respond. My only complaint is was it was a little hard to find when I was following directions from GPS. I missed the exit from 183 then once I got there, there are multiple offices so I had to walk around trying to find building A from where I parked at building E. Maybe you all can provide specific directions?? Zee was a great instructor. Thank you for your helping in getting my renewal and thanks RC Health for providing this service.K Ham

Awesome instructors! I got my BLS cert and feel so prepared to use my skills. The instructors are so helpful with guiding you along, whether you’re a pro or newbie. Everyone was so kind and make sure to address any questions or concerns you have, even if they need to go over it multiple times Talon and Z were awesome instructors and I appreciated the course I received.Cara Crocker

I took the front-end and back-end classes in 2014, and loved every minutes of it! The instructors were professional, knowledgeable, and always willing to help inside and outside of class. The founders were super involved in the entire process and were always looking for feedback – both positive and negative. As for the classes themselves, the front-end was more to my liking as I had dabbled in html and css prior. The back-end class was challenging and a bit less structured, but totally worth it. Both kept me extremely busy, and the instructors made it possible to advance further when I needed it and slow down when I struggled with a topic. Results: I am currently working with a classmate on freelance work, the resume website I made in the front-end class got me a part-time job with graphic design, and the back-end class let me get into some app creation with one of the founder's friends. Great people, waiting for my schedule to clear so I can take the intermediate classes!Jake Bapple

I researched many schools in the Austin area before choosing the Austin Coding Academy. The reason I chose them was because they offered the best quality at an exceptional price. I come from a Finance background and I have never worked in IT before. The intro course is very informative and detailed. As soon as you begin classes the school brings in guest speakers and IT recruiters. I love the field trips we take as well. Halfway thru my Intro course the career services team placed me in a new job within the IT industry. It occurred very fast and I am very grateful for all their instruction and help. My goal is to have a better work-life balance and the Austin Coding Academy has already helped me get my foot in the door. I am very excited to see what opportunities will be presented to me once I complete the entire Full Stack Developer program. Choosing to attend the Austin Coding Academy has proven to be one of the best decisions I have ever made.Ernie

Austin Coding Academy was a phenomenal experience for me. I had a little experience in web design and coding, so I knew I would enjoy it, but classes at ACA really pushed that passion forward. Instructors and staff are really driven and so obviously love what they do – they all go the extra mile to make sure you are getting everything you can out of class. Our instructor, Jake, and TA, Victoria, were always available to us and both had a very natural gift for teaching. I enjoyed classes and homework so much that it never actually felt like ‘school’ or ‘work.’ ACA really strives to make their environment community-oriented, which allowed me to learn from classmates and even make great friends! I'm astonished at the amount of knowledge I gained in three short months and would recommend ACA to anyone I know.Meredith Case

From the time we moved into Westminster we have been treated with warmth, respect, and wonderful friendship. When my husband was seriously ill and eventually passed away, the capable nursing staff took such gentle care of him. They also helped me through my time of grief. On a different tone, Westminster kept us safe during the pandemic and is once again providing us with outstanding programs and trips around Austin. I can't imagine anyone's being bored here! I also can't imagine living anywhere else in Austin than at Westminster!! Beverly Shivers A satisfied and grateful resident for over 10 years.Beverly Shivers

It is a great place to live. WM has a fantastic team to take care of all of our needs. In addition to excellent health care service, there are weekly high quality performance programs, great daily exercise programs, new gym and an updated swimming pool, weekly outings, transportation services to medical appointments, weekly maid service, and two dining halls and an excellent meal plan including free continental breakfast. It is a wonderful community where residents can make friends and enjoy life together.Emily Ashworth

Westminster is a great place to work. For the last 16 years I have been able to grow my career and raise my family. Westminster has a wonderful benefits package, generous paid time off and really understands that family is important. The residents of Westminster are smart, funny and kind. They appreciate the associates and all that we do to make their home extraordinary. It has been an honor and a privilege to be a part of this growing community.Sarah Loyd

I don’t know who answers calls here but they are the RUDEST individuals I’ve ever talked to. I was simply talking about the requirements for an accelerated program since I graduated with my bachelors in Biology but realized I wanted to do nursing. They proceed to cut me off about wanting my SAT score. I took the SAT 10 years ago and when I explained this to them, I was told I was dumb for not taking it??? And I was rudely hung up on bc I didn’t remember my SAT score from 10 years ago! I am 28 years old… And when I ask to be called back or left a message, it was NEVER returned and I was left to the argue with the lady on the phone who just refuses to listen. Someone needs to remove her. Horrible service.Maria Hernandez

Great university to take classes that is close to home. I am currently enrolled in a few classes that work with my work schedule. The professors are awesome, helpful, and seem like the genuinely care about us. One of my favorite things about this school is the small classroom size so I am able to interact and have a better learning environment.Andrew Alvey

Giving parking tickets 🎟 $25.00 just to pay tuition for my daughter. She's not even going to UH She's going to wcjc. People are rude and don't even want to be bothered by you. Oh you can appeal it but it's useless . You are just paying for pizza day for the employees.April Williams

The over all experience at Southern Careers Institute, Austin Campus was a huge change in Dynamic, Routine, and overall educational experience. While the Directors do their very best to assist all students in achieving their long term goals to attain a whole career, they make sure that they have the time to be human as well and go above and beyond to make sure that the students are at their best mindset. This past year that I have spent with them feels more like 10 years of experience with so many different students that I met, nurtured and felt the experience of seeing them graduate. My over all personal experience is one that I will never regret and over all feel that this is a home for those who love to help others, to the point where there are no options left to exhaust in order to make sure the student climbs another step in their life choices. SCI does care, they have a heart and will do anything to make sure that those who are looking for a chance or opportunity to better themselves no matter the past have it here. I want to thank all of those who have helped me and supported me through my role as an admissions rep for a year. I also want to thank my students who made me feel a whole person as I saw them grow and change into new people who have the hope, excitement, and drive to do their best. Once again. Thank you SCI, for the opportunity and great experience you have provided! Over and out- VL Admissions Rep. PS. To my students, Keep hitting it hard. Your experience will flourish as soon as you hit that first job! Don't ever give up, and don't look back at the past. "Arriba y Adelante"- VL's GrandmotherVito Lozano

In my experience with this School, I Do Not Recommend. If wasn’t for the instructor Rodrigo, which is a great guy and CDL instructor, I would leave the school on my first day, and I wanted to, he was the one that convinced me to stay. The administration made me fell that they care about you only until they get your money, after that there is no follow up. They advertised that you can get ready in 4 weeks. Absolutely NOT TRUE. I asked in person 4 times , and they told me Yes, it can be done most likely in 6 weeks, I believed and enrolled myself, but took more than 2 months. That’s because after they take my money , they said they have too many students and the schedule is full . And it doesn’t matter if you have a life outside the school ( which everyone has) and tell them that you can’t make in certain hour of the day, they still make the schedule as you are there just to do what they tell you to do. And they schedule you in the worse DPS to be tested , just because to call and schedule in a better one is to much work. That is my experience with the school. People that I’ve meet throughout the course are also unhappy. But if you don’t have any experience with trucks, have the time and pacience to be there 2 months at least, the instructor Rodrigo is the right guy. He makes you calm and confident about driving that huge truck.Elson De Oliveira

I'm not one to normally post negative reviews, however this needs to be put out there. I have not attended this institution, this is solely based off of the experience I have received after accepting one call. I made a grave mistake of agreeing to hearing this institution out on trying to get me to apply and attend. This was back in July/ early August. I heard out their entire spiel over what they offer, and after I told the recruiter I did not have the money to attend (nor would I in the near future) they began their consistent harassment. They have been constantly calling me from different numbers after I had blocked the initial number because the recruiter began calling me back to back to back after I declined her calls while I was at work, I now receive constant emails from DIFFERENT email addresses even after I unsubscribed from all emails and reported as spam. They are still reaching out to me to this day through text and new phone numbers. From what I have experienced based off of this is that this place just wants your money.Aden Russell

Awesome school! I was in the radiology program in 2014. The best instructors & overall great program. I would definitely recommend. 🙂devanee gonzalez

Two years ago my daughter and I started looking at Independent Living locations. After seeing 7 such locations, seeing only 1 that met our expectations, we visited The Village at The Triangle at the suggestion of friends who lived here. It didn't take us long to see the beautiful common areas, dining locations and 1- bedroom apartments to make the decision to sign a lease! Our entire staff, from Maintenance up to Executive Director, is totally commited to excellent service and care for our community. The Life Enrichment offerings – speakers, concerts, seminars, book study groups, art classes, bridge lessons, trips to local museums and more – contribute to the vitality of our "family" population here at The Village. If you're looking for yourself or a beloved family member, come visit centrally-located The Village at The Triangle!Barbara Grove

My mom decided (on her own, yay!) to move from our small hometown to my beloved Austin in summer 2021. She visited several properties before choosing independent living at The Village. It’s been the best experience for both of us in so many ways! The director’s enthusiasm and professionalism trickle down through every staff member—and they care for the residents as if they were family. The facilities are new, stylish and comfortable; the food is delish; the activities director keeps everyone going; and the residents are sincerely welcoming when newbies arrive. My mom has made a new circle of friends and loves the comradery, which she was losing back home as friends died or moved to be near their children. I’m delighted to recommend The Village!Diana Ball

After much searching in the Austin area, we moved my parents into the Village at the Triangle in 2021. It was the best decision we made for their health and their happiness. The exceptional care they offer in all areas has provided us with confidence and comfort that those we love are in good hands. The Village staff works as a cohesive team and their in-house nursing and nurse practitioner offer well-rounded care and practical advice. We will be forever grateful for their genuine support.Jessica Crowley

Don't to hybrid courses. Stay online if you want to save some time and gas. Ms.Lopez, who teaches the final course for certification, doesn't consider a student's busy life. She keeps each assignment locked and open for less than 24 hours. Students are required to do an internship. My wife is a Dean list student with a 4.0 average. She works a 15-hour work day while I'm on active duty for the military. If the school requests more from a student, there needs to be better communication and understanding if needs academically aren't met. If a student has such a complex schedule while working a full-time job and internship, there should be an effort to keep classwork unlocked and available to the deadline. Ms.Lopez failed to understand what a hybrid course is. She would have to go to class to do online work. If most of the work is online, why not keep all assignments open so the student can work ahead to avoid incomplete tasks? It's very thought-provoking to think that if the course's work were open for the duration of the system, then most students would complete all the work early to account for sleep and other daily life activities. In my eyes, I don't see that as an issue. In my experience, it was encouraged to work ahead. I now have to pay for my wife to retake the course and pay another time. This feels like the school wants more money. I could take her transcript and take a class with a more memorable teacher in community college for way less or possibly free. It's crazy to think that I could save money by paying for my wife's certification test for a couple of hundred because the school will not reward her certification until the course is completed. Let us not forget that she paid for the cert in the tuition. Don't think the certification test is free cause it's not; you paid for it one way or another. She'd have to waste another month of our time and money to retake a course, not even to receive an actual degree.Zachry Correa

CHCP is GREAT! I loved being an LMRT student here! I love how the teachers are so involved in your education and want you to be successful! Miss Salazar was amazing and she always pushed all of her students to go above and beyond! Career Services is great! They were so involved in my grad out process and did everything to make sure I was set for success with finding a job and Ms. Nayak was so helpful and communicated with me on a daily basis! I love CHCP so much! I’m so glad I went through them and I can’t wait to further my education with them when I bridge for the (R) RT program! Thank you CHCP for everything!Samantha Velez

This place is absolutely amazing! All of the staff is very supportive from the very beginning. Vanessa at admissions helped me choose the best career for me and all my teachers were always flexible and made me believe in myself while doing skills. Nensi at career services always checked on me and made sure I had what I needed. Externship coordinator Mr. Clarence was always checking on me while I was on site and made sure I was on track with everything. Thank you to this amazing school for helping me have a career and now my mom is happy to say she has a college graduate!Maria Hernandez

Took a tour of the facility today looking for a facility for my mom in the future. I was pleasantly surprised by how clean the facility was. It smelt great, the staff were very friendly, the dietary director let me taste one of the dessert items and it was delicious! They had music playing for the residents and staff were singing to them, there was so much energy in the room. There’s 2 big courtyards that the residents were out on, one was gardening in a planter box and seemed very happy. It was such a great experience and they will be on the top of my list!Taxlor Laxer

This place may not be fancy, but the care that most staffers provide is excellent! Today in particular, I really wanted to take my mom for a drive…to get her out and enjoy both the nice weather and a change of scenery. But she's been bedridden for so long, I wasn't sure how to make it work. Christopher (CNA) as usual, went above and beyond to make it possible. He helped transfer her and her oxygen from bed to wheelchair to my SUV and back again. People like him are the reason I feel a little better about mom being in a nursing home 🙂Sara Russell

Staff is very informative, communicate often via email and phone. CNA’s always doing their best and know the residents well. Nurses are friendly and go the extra mile. Residents LOVE the food, best I’ve seen anywhere else hands down. Beautiful wooded area that residents walk around almost every morning with housekeeping, CNA’s and activities. Lots of fun events and “Happy Hour”. Really a neat place.Matthew Adams

This is a two for one review: ACC Highland Campus and Austin PBS's new studio/offices. It's a WOW! I was able to get a first look into the new Austin PBS studio days before its grand opening to the public. It may be empty now, with a few last minute furnishings and paint etc., but what a fantastic space it is and will be for Austin. The ACC campus is shared with Austin PBS grounds which are absolutely gorgeous. Beautifully set in the middle of a grove of old established oak trees you'll find coffee and bakery shops, fooderies, and a nail salon that surround the campus. Students who want to live close to the ACC campus will have various new apartment housing to choose from. Some residencies are so close to the ACC doors, students could roll out of bed and walk right across the street and be inside. Parking is generously available too, with several parking garages within walking distance from both Austin PBS and ACC. Bottom line… The new Austin PBS and ACC campus is a grand new indoor/outdoor space in Austin!G

My college experience as been anything but pleasant, half the time I felt like they didn’t even want us there. Let’s not talk about the knuckleheads they have working student services. It seems like they try to find the least helpful people to put in the position of interaction. Went in and asked for help and these two guys start talking to me like I’m mentally impaired. Very assuming and not helpful to what was needed at all. In fact I was told to go to another campus!!! When this is my home campus!!!!Can you believe that? I suggest going to another campus for advising and student services, all the way.Micheal Macy

Not what it used to be. When I started my school career here nearly 10 years ago, the staff would go out of their way to ensure every student was taken care of. Now, if you have a documented issue with technical problems (such as Blackboard not screen-sharing properly, a KNOWN and CONFIRMED problem by ACC & BB) they will give you the absolute run around and never take any accountability. Even after filing a formal complaint, they NEVER followed up and completely ghosted me. Sorry ACC, I graduated high school long ago – maybe your staff should act like they have too?Grant Smithy

I was at this hospital for about two weeks. Initially, I just thought it was a terrible place, but when I paid closer attention, I realized that the problem is at the top. The therapists and most nurses are efficient, caring people. Rules are designed without thinking of the patient–only management. * Visiting hours are arbitrary (none on Monday) and are not convenient for the patient or patient's visitors. Flowers are not allowed. * When it was time for me to leave, my designated helper/friend was not allowed to come to my room to help gather my things because it was not yet visiting time. NO consideration for the patient, and no common sense to know when rules should not be enforced. * Doctors visit rarely and seem to listen, but there is no follow-up. I asked one doctor about a medicine I had been taking in the hospital. He said he would "think on it" and I never heard from him again. * I asked one of the doctors to be sure my information was being sent to my family physician. She told me to have the doctor request it. It should have been automatic with them. They put the burden on the patient. * On Christmas Day, the entire place was freezing cold. Nurses and patients were huddling in hoodies and jackets and no one would/could do anything about it. It took some ingenuity and a well-placed telephone call to correct it. I genuinely feel sorry for many of the nurse who work hard and really care, but have little management support. It would take only a little care and concern from the top to create happier staff and a better patient experience. Follow-up: I heard from the rehab hospital and they asked me to discuss this matter with them. I agreed but never heard from them again.Amy Shipherd

This place is awesome. My wife was admitted and had a 3 week stay. We were quickly on a first name basis with the staff. The nursing techs were friendly and helpful. They went the extra mile to get my wife to smile and laugh. The nurses genuinely cared about comfort and pain management. They would suggest things that they could do outside of what we were thinking / expecting. The doctors were never in a hurry, answered all our of questions, and through their skill and diligence found several afflictions that needed to be addressed. The physical therapists were great, along with their techs. You can tell that these people love their jobs and love working with each other. Things were always positive and helpful. They went the extra mile to learn about our setup at home and made personalized recommendations on set up, procedures, products, etc, to help us once we were home again. My wife had a tough time eating anything during her stay, but that was across any food we could get, from anywhere. I sampled the food that they had and found it pretty good. I ate several times from her tray and thought it was good. The kitchen staff was friendly and would run through all the options and even offered to make things on the spot like grilled cheese sandwiches or whatever you could come up with. Top notch. The case manager was very helpful, answering all my questions on how things worked and what we could expect. She also gathered a lot of useful information ahead of our discharge. I could go on and on.Fritz Boehm

This rehabilitation hospital is top notch. We came here when my father needed extra care after a hospital stay approx. 3 years ago so when it became necessary for my mom to have some extra care after a significant event, it was a no brainer where we were going to go. The nursing care at CTRH is respectful, competent and caring. The physical, occupational and speech therapists are all wonderful, kind, and extremely helpful. Not only did they help my mother’s body get stronger, but they generously, patiently, and encouragingly trained me to assist Mom with transitions from bed to wheelchair and back (along with all other combinations of how I could more safely care for her once home); not just for her safety, but for my own as well. I felt a genuine concern from them for the both of us. I now feel confident that I will be able to care for her and continue the lessons of therapy techniques they started to help my mom continue to improve. As if an excellent staff of nurses, technicians and doctors is not enough to make you choose to come here, the rooms are clean, large and comfortable. Our room had an amazing view of downtown Austin. We are sure going to miss that view! We owe so much to Mom’s team of professionals, in fact, they’ve become more than that…they are now extended family. Thank you, Team June!!!!Susie Pittman
