20 Best 2 Year Nursing Programs In Dayton, OH (2022 Updated)

A majority of the positive reviews on this site are biased and are from the staff. Please, heed the warnings that you see here. Some of these positive comments come as a result of the staff coercing someone to post a positive review. Please, do not believe the positive reviews – for the sake of your wallet and academic progress. Coming to this college was nothing but a huge waste of time and money. By far the worst college ON THE PLANET. Please, go anywhere else but here. A lot of the credits do not transfer, the staff is rude and doesn't care about you, and a professor at Sinclair told me that they consider these classes to be sub-standard. Don't waste your time or money. The only thing they care about is your money. I understand that you may want to attend a community college because it's cheaper, but do keep in mind that you only get what you pay for and at clark state that isn't much! Low tuition fees = low quality institution. The professors are not here because they want to ensure the success of their students. They're here to collect a paycheck and enhance the appearance of their resumes.John S

It is so incredibly difficult and annoying trying to contact ANYONE at Clark State. Trying to speak with anyone at all via phone during normal business hours during the day on a normal weekday is just a string of voicemail after voicemail and no one ever calls back. The only way to accomplish anything, even having a simple question answered, is to physically go to the school and deal with someone directly. And even then, probably 90% of the staff are not helpful and talk to you like you are incompetent. I am finally finishing up my 2 years at Clark State in order to get the classes that I need to transfer into a 4 year school. It has been a constant battle to get anything done at this school. The teaching staff HAS been very helpful, but the staff that work in the offices (testing center, records & registration, cashier's office) are so condescending it is unbelievable. After spending thousands of dollars every semester to attend classes here, you would think the staff would be just only SLIGHTLY more respectful.Alisha Scott

My daughter has been trying to reach out to Clark to attend this Fall and NOBODY has returned her messages or calls. So I decided to check into the ratings on this community college. After reading some of the reviews with low ratings I’m understanding why Clark will not return my daughters calls or messages. I’m willing to try one more time in the hopes of getting an explanation. However, if I cannot get a hold of anyone, then I will take it that this is my sign that Clark is obviously NOT the college for my daughter. I would rather look for another college for her to attend with a much better education. if Clark cannot get their stuff together to return messages and called to students that are wanting to attend a hen how can they have their stuff together to teach students. Like I said…. Some of the reviews I read here pretty much tells it all. Thank you for some of the warnings in the reviews.C J

I’ve only had on great instructor, Stephen Marlowe, but the worst instructor there is Amanda Bylczynski by far! She is extremely rude and is unwilling to help. She refuses to admit when she is wrong and tends to give multiple directions to assignments that contradict each other and gives you a poor grade when you don’t follow the “correct” set of directions. It’s hard to stay away from her though since she teaches history, geography, sociology, and is an advisor. Since she is an advisor she tries to push you to take her favorite classes that she teaches rather than put you in classes that will benefit your degree! I am majoring in education and she put me in her history class (her favorite) instead of letting me take sociology which would have clearly fit my path much better! Don’t waste your time at this school. They treat everyone like a high school student whether you are or not. If you are looking for a community college to start your college career go to Sinclair! It has much more of a college feel to it.Seth Helton

This is the worst school in the country, the staff is over paid the classes are the equivalent to a junior high school. I had applied there for art classes and did online classes and I had completed all my work correctly and did the assignments on time and with the correct format. Stayed up for hours on end completing assignments putting a lot of hard work into them and still got bad grades for some odd reason? So I email my teachers and call the school asking what I can do to improve them the phone tree did not work properly and my teachers never emailed me back. I honestly think this school should get some lessons on how to run, worst school ever…DJ Crow

First off the professors are great, they help you and answer all questions. In the 5 years I have attended, there are only a few that were mediocre, but they are gone now. Advisors are helpful, but you will need to make sure they know what you want. As an older student the school is affordable and most classes are available in the evening. Down fall is several classes like Calculus, pre calculus, music, and other lab classes have limited availability in the evenings and in some cases not at all. They now offer scholarships for older students who do not qualify for other financial aid. No out of county fees unlike some schools.Jen ny

Unless the problems are resolved, I will be leaving my review at what it is. I started at Terra in January 2019 and currently still enrolled. At this time, I just want to finish and graduate. When I first met with Terra, my advisor was rather "pushy" which I'v dealt with before, no big deal. The thing that stood out though was that she had to tie her success's into every little thing, and not in a good way. She bragged more than she used the information to make me feel better about trusting her. Her tone, to me, implied that she knew more than I and I just need to do as she says. Something I couldn't quite understand though is how none of my credits from Stautzenberger College could transfer. There's quite a few classes I had to re-take because of it. How does nothing transfer from such a highly accredited school like Stautzenberger? Upon showing my schedule to my husband, who had also had scheduling problems at a different college prior, he pointed out some flaws. How was I being scheduled for classes that I hadn't taken the "pre-reqs" for yet? I was also being scheduled for classes during times that they weren't even available. I had also been told that I was looking to graduate Spring of 2020, possibly summer depending on internship and when I decided to do it but because there were classes that I couldn't take when I was scheduled for them, I actually wouldn't have graduated until Spring 2021. Then later finding out that there was a class I NEEDED to complete before even doing my internship, something I wasn't told about either until now. I reached out to this advisor and didn't receive an e-mail back until weeks later, after I sat down and completed my schedule MYSELF. I have half a dozen other students in 1 out of the 6 classes I'm taking that have had similar or exact problems with the same advisor. Flash forward to financial aid. My paperwork was sitting in the "finished" pile while it was actually incomplete. This wasn't realized until I went to the financial aid office in person to find out why nothing was being posted so I could get my bill paid and schedule summer classes. They had been sitting there for weeks. Okay, frustrating but mistakes happen. However, the other morning, I woke up to an email from FAFSA that corrections have been made……on my schools behalf. I logged into my portal and see that the Pell Grants that have been listed for weeks now and that I was TOLD I was going to get (by the same gentleman who left my paperwork sitting unfinished for weeks) for summer and fall are no longer there and everything turned to un-subsidized loans. I reached out yet again (side note: getting quick responses from financial aid OR admissions when you have a problem is extremely difficult), to which I finally did get an e-mail back. In a real short sentence, he apologized, said he had made adjustments that was actually an error on his part, and went back in to adjust it, I should see my grants back up in a few days. Another email this morning, changes again, back into my portal, absolutely nothing has changed. 2019/2020 FAFSA was done, completed and filed, why go back in and make any changes period. Plus, where is the communication? I would love to understand what is going on with MY financial aid and MY classes but nobody seems to want to help and explain anything. I could very well not be entitled to any Pell Grant, but that needs to be communicated with me and told why it's changed even after I had already received them in an award letter. I am beyond tired of this run around. The stress and extra effort are completely unacceptable. The only reason I'm giving 2 stars vs 1 is the fact that unlike my last college, I feel MOST of these professors actually care about my education and me as a human. Update: after a couple weeks of back and forth, the Pell Grants finally posted. However, an issue I was having with my online classes can't really be traced to anything specific. I was actually booted from one of three classes then had to be re-added, and almost booted from another but nobody seems to know why.Heather Myers

Poor…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….They make it very difficult if you are a busy adult (no online or phone registration/deregistration for 1st time students). The tuition is low, but the headaches you will get from the college (applying, registering, high book fees, travel to the middle of no where) make it not worth the price. I have a 4 year Bachelor's Degree and work 40 hours a week in a professional job. I'm also working towards a 2nd Bachelor's Degree in Computer Information Systems by taking evening/online/summer classes. I filled out a application, paid a application fee, and had it in 5 weeks before the start of classes. I was never sent a acceptance letter, phone call, or any information on registering for classes. I was never given a password to apply online. I called the Registration Office several times, but was met with a answering machine. My phone calls would be returned a day or more after I left them. They would leave voicemail messages while I was working. Eventually they told me I would have to get registered in person since I was a first time student. All first time students can only register in person even if you are only taking evening classes part time. I applied to Owens, North Central State, Marion Technical, and Terra for different computer information systems classes. North Central State and Marion Technical are way cheaper and you will be able to talk to a person over the phone. Owens College has the same quality classes for the same price with less hassles.Matthew Clark

I'll give one example of many of why this school is the worst decision you can make in your educational career, today I called for my transcripts and the manager there who name was mark was so idiotic that he didn't even know how to log on to check my transcripts, when he couldn't figure it out he claimed that the school actually can't check the transcript (lol) and that I had to go to a government agency called "student records clearing office" to get the record, all sucking on a lollipop. The sad part was I knew this was going to happen right before I called lol….. Most of these reviews are fake 5 star ones, so I will give an honest review. The staff of this school are uneducated and have no idea how to function in their positions, they are also extremely lazy and disorganized to the point where it is like something out of a movie, they are actually infamous for this and everyone who calls in tells the manager the same thing. The office may also charge you extra and create mistakes for you, I actually personally experienced and had to call to get the fee removed ( I actually educated their financial aid manager on how to actually calculate fees, he apologized and admitted his mistake and then never removed the fee).A Sayed

Great school. They prepare you for the real world and it's a personal school where you know all of your classmates after your first year. If you consider yourself a creative and question graphic design, web, environmental design, or any art as a career, definitely submit your application.Dusty Ahrens

Graduation rate low. Does not offer financial aid. Fradulant. Promise that small class size allows more attention to help students succeed, THIS IS FALSE. Cares about money not student success. – Parent review.shannon downing

Terrible experience I originally was taking billing and coding online which I have done online classes before but this was absolutely terrible experience information for assignments is all over the place so getting assignments complete in a timely fashion well good luck so I had opted to do a in person program and that was even worse I was better off just staying online so I could work the instructors for both programs were useless all of the in person class was basically self taught so what was the point I ended up dropping this school and going somewhere else best decision I made in my college career thus far.Ashley Blaum

The staff are wonderful and helpful, but during most of my time here, there have been a few people leave. This caused some confusion and chaos for us as students because these positions were not filled until recently, but brought people from other campuses to help us out, but them being unfamiliar with the students made certain processes take much longer than they have in the past. Overall though, I have loved my time here as a student and I recommend coming here to earn an education.Heather McDonald

This place is a joke, and the only reason you're seeing all the 5 star reviews is because they sit you in an office 1 on 1 and tell you to write a good review. Its 16,000 you have to pay out of pocket for a job you'll never make over $11-12. Wendy is one of the teachers and she is a disgrace and chooses favorites and makes life hell for the rest. They seem so nice when you walk in to lure you in, but it's all a scam. Just walk away… Go to a real college, get a real degree.Kendyl Adams

One Lincoln Park and its entire staff have been a God send to my family and me. When I say entire staff, I literally mean every single person there from the Executive Director down. My mother has a cognitive impairment and could no longer live alone at her house safely. We tried home aids, which she refused to let in the door. She was very afraid of losing her independence and felt if she admitted she needed their help, she was losing being independent. We researched many facilities and sadly, most in this area aren't equipped to deal with someone in my mothers cognitive state. They either have complete independent living or "memory Care" units, which in most cases mean a locked facility and small resident rooms. She is still independent and can live on her own for the most part, but needs to have supervision and kept an eye on to make sure she doesn't get confused and wonder etc… Kim was the counselor that worked with us and was amazing at every point. She really loves her job and you can tell that she believes in One Lincoln Park and everything it has to offer. She truly was instrumental in our decision and because my mother loved her so much it was easy to talk her into moving there. Kim didn't lead us a stray, she was honest with everything she told us about the facility. One Lincoln Park is familiar with my situation and have other residents there with the same cognitive impairment. Obviously, since it it not a locked facility they cannot promise me that my mom cant just walk out. But, they are amazing, they keep an eye on her without letting her know that they are, they have aids that go in and check on her and take her to events, making sure she doesn't have too much down time, which is when she normally gets in trouble. She has a beautiful two bedroom apartment that she loves, the grounds are impeccable, it is located in a very nice part of Kettering, butts up to the Fraze Pavilion and it's surrounding parks and most importantly to my mother has a dining room that is full service with amazing food. Trust me, i love eating there myself. In the evenings for dinner, they have high school students as their wait staff, whose youth and vitality have a noticeable positive impact on the residents. What a brilliant idea! It is so nice to see the staff know everyone's name and how they genuinely care about the residents. Surprisingly, the staff even knows my family and my names! My life now, compared to how it was prior to my mother moving to One Lincoln park is so much more relaxed. She is so happy there. I never thought that me, as a primary caregiver to my mother, would be able to have an actual life of my own. It is truly a wonderful place, I tell my mother it is like living in a resort and she happily agrees. I would give them 10 stars if I could.Kelley

My parents moved to an independent living apartment at Lincoln Park in Sept. 2017. While it was very difficult for them to leave their home, the staff at Lincoln Park made the transition as easy as possible. They worked patiently with the entire family through the process-from the initial visit, (with no pressure); finding the best apartment, (considering location, price, size and view); individualizing the apartment for them (choosing paint and carpet colors); planning the move, (what furniture to bring and where to put it); and finally the actual move. The community offers a variety of options for meals, (dining room, bistro, meals delivered to their room), and my parents have tried all of them. They have been pleased with the quality and the price for almost all of the meals that they have enjoyed. The staff has taken the time to learn their names and not only will speak to them when they encounter them, but will sometimes knock on their apt. door to say “Hi” if they have not seen them in a while. The transportation crew is always accommodating, making sure that my parents car is free of snow and warm when they bring it up for them. They do all of this with a huge smile and kind, welcoming words. While there are a variety of residents with differing needs, they too are friendly, smiling and saying hello whenever we see them. Lincoln Park has made a difficult transition as comfortable as possible for my parents, while giving peace of mind to their children.Mindy Hemmelgarn

We live out of state and this place is perfect for my mother. She needs help with meals, transportation and someone to assist her with taking the right medications in the right doses. The dining room looks more like a quality restaurant than an institutional type facility. The host gives them the option of sitting with their friends or introduces them to new residents. The folks in the transportation group are awesome. They have a fleet of cars ready to take residents where ever they need. Both of these services are included in the monthly fee which is very reasonable. They have a full range of activities everyday, a very nice in-house library, beauty shop, exercise room and much more. Buckeye Home Health has a staff of nurses and aids on the premises. We pay a small monthly fee for one of the nurses to monitor her medications. The apartments are very well maintained. New carpet and new paint for new residents all color coordinated with your furniture. I wish my yard looked as good as the outside gardens and patio areas. The staff is incredible, from top management all the way through the ranks. The bottom line, my Mom and I are very glad she made the move and from the smiles I see from others I meet in the hallways, it is a pretty nice place to be.Steve Rohr

I was not pleased with this school at all. Teachers constantly changed, and unqualified teachers were teaching classes (english teacher taught us psychology). There were mixed signals about dress codes and the dean of the school humiliated me in the main lobby over a minor dress code infraction while MANY other students were out of dress code. Our class began with 25 and only 3 original students from that class graduated. You are required to pass ATI proctored exams to continue in the course, but if you fail those exams they make you retake classes that are not associated with the exam you failed. I’m thankful i was able to get through the program, but I felt like a major disservice was done to myself and my classmates. There were a select few incredible teachers that really cared about the students, but they were bogged down by the horrendous upper management. I hope with the new DON change that these things change, but this was my experience.Sara Lawson

I completed the bridge program at OIAH. I earned my RN diploma, and I had a wonderful experience. My instructors went above and beyond for me, offered continual support, and gave me the tools and information to succeed. I passed the NCLEX on my first attempt without studying additional materials. Six students were in my class. Three graduated and passed boards. That is a fairly decent ratio for nursing school. Out of the three that didn’t pass, two quit for personal reasons. I have recommended this program to several friends including my own mother. She also graduated from the program! I have been offered positions at UC, Trihealth, Premier, and Dayton Childrens. I have moved on, and I am completing my BSN. Awesome program!Rebecca Daniels

I wouldn’t recommend this school, staff plays favoritism, if you don’t pass the standard ATI test then you fail the whole class. They only believe their staff you will not be prepared for success, this school prepares you for failure and I’m not joking. CTC, Fortis and Omcc are all better options! You will waste your time and will have to began at a better school!Jerry Stolkes

My mother spent 1 year at Symphony after 7 months at another assisted living facility. Symphony’s facility and especially the people are incredible. Almost all the residents have dementia and the staff is remarkable in their dealing with the residents. All the staff all the time. The cleaning lady, the maintenance man, the kitchen staff, the aids and the nurses all treat the patients with a smile and unbelievable patience. I never witnessed a staff member lose their patience with a resident. And I spent a lot of time there, especially at dinner in a full dining room. The facility was always clean as well as moms room. Unlike the previous facility, I rarely smelled urine. The rooms had a home style furnace and AC in a locked closet with a covered thermostat versus a hotel style unit at the other facility. Huge improvement and no tampering by the resident. I just can’t say enough good things about the staff and how they treated the residents. Like each resident was their own family member. Staff turnover seemed quite low which is also a good thing.David Miller

I have been to Symphony at Centerville several times in the past few years to tour and I am always impressed at the sense of calm they have perfected. Residents are able to walk freely and safely throughout their home at Sympjony and have many opportunities to engage with neighbors, staff and various activities that are always readily available. I work closely with both Heather and Dani and they are always incredibly communicative, quick and efficient when helping to facilitate a move in of one of my patients. Families feel at ease from the first conversation they have with the team at Symphony, and my clinical team and I know our patient's are safe and will continue to thrive when they move into Symphony. Always happy and excited to introduce more families to this team that truly knows how to do memory care!Aimee Steele

My mother has lived at Symphony at Centerville for almost two years now, while we’ve had our ups and downs here and there they have really perfected their craft. The staff is wonderful, especially the caregiver Joyce, the cooks are excellent, we really like Karen and our mothers room was always tidy when we were there. My family can’t say enough about Rae, the Activities DIrector she truly loves what she does and it shows. Rae has been even more amazing during the shutdown with FaceTime calls, porch visits, sending pictures of my mother and the list goes on! She has become apart of our family during our mother’s time at Symphony and my mother adores her, she can always get her to smile or laugh even in her current state. Symphony is a wonderful place, we are glad we found it! Thank you for everything you do!Jean T

Above and beyond other agencies in every way! When we needed immediate 24/7 care for my elderly father, Spring Hills was the only one of the better agencies I called that could respond that day and hit the ground running with full coverage. They offer several types of helpful services, and the caretakers were willing, caring and easy to work with, and I can't say enough good things about the management staff — so accessible, experienced, helpful, and caring — way above and beyond. • The managers were accessible 24/7 and really cared about what our family was going through and put time into home visits and phone calls to better understand our family and our combined needs. • They responded immediately to any issues and went above and beyond to listen and provide expert insights and advice on my father's condition and better ways to help him, work with other types of services, and deal with some of the family dynamics. • They also provided helpful referrals to other types of elder services and could speak knowledgeably about our options for both current and future care for my father. I've talked to folks, and this level of help and support is unusual. This type of situation was all new to me, and the invaluable information, perspective, and support Spring Hills provided made a huge difference at a very difficult time and better prepared me for what was ahead. Many, many thanks to everyone at Spring Hills!Jeanette Hill

My Dad and his wife were in the hospital with Covid. When he was released and she was still there and not doing well, he was so distraught that he needed to have 24 hr. care. I lived too far away to be there so I arranged for someone to be at his home.. They were able to accommodate him within 2 days of me calling. When his wife passed away, he needed the support even more. The staff and aides have been amazing. My Dad really appreciated having them around. They helped with laundry, cooking and cleaning. Most importantly they were kind, patient and were company for him. I was always able to reach someone if I had questions. I highly recommend Spring Hills Home Health Care.Christine Powell

This place has a lot of turn over, for in field employees and in office employees. Some of the office staff is very pushy, there is lack of empathy for their employees. I have had some stuff go on at home that is very personal and traumatizing to my family and instead of calling me to tell me I needed to pick up a certain amount of hours to stay active with the agency, they locked me out of everything and took me off the e-mailing list. As I know Ohio is an “at will” state, thus reflects poorly on how they treat their staffing. They do not turn in the STNA hours to the state so our license stay active. I would not recommend this agency to someone to work for.Chelsea Elmore

My mom moved in almost a month ago. It was quite an adjustment for her. Chrissy was so good with her. She laughs a lot and really puts people at ease. It means so much during such a difficult transition to have someone in your corner to bring calmness. The residents are very, very friendly and welcoming. The whole atmosphere is pleasant. The apartment is spacious. They put new carpet in and painted the color she wanted. Every apartment has a patio or balcony. There's a community garden and many activities. The front desk calls every day to check on the residents and they provide an emergency call button. The monthly cost is very reasonable.tammie hoium

A well-maintained, well-staffed, vibrant community offering supportive services to help people maintain independence. My mother''s apartment is spacious and quiet and the people around her are quite kind. My first impressions of the staff is that they are kind and dedicated to providing a quality life for the residents.DC M Alex (Alex)

I absolutely love working here my boss Shannon in pcs is the best very fare and understanding it’s been two years almost and I’m not going anywhere my second home (Deidra Thomas)Lovely Thomas

Kindred has been nothing but amazing for my Mother! She has been at kindred for about 4 months and everyone loves her dearly! I love when I am visiting and so many people pop in the door just to say hello and ask her how she is doing! It really makes me feel good knowing she is in a good place! The staff, from the nurses all the way to housekeeping are very friendly! Her therapists Edie and Karen are always doing awesome things with her and very motivating! Her patient advocate Jennifer Kasper has been amazing as well! Always making sure her stay is going great and always checking to make sure all her needs are met! A shout out to some amazing nurses Lisa (day shift), Lisa (night shift), Jennifer, Bethany, Ami, and several others have been nothing but amazing! A shout out to a few of my mothers favorite aids Kiah, Latonya, Renee, Marsha, Tyler, and many more have been awesome as well! Always there when she needs them and takes the time to talk to her and make sure she is well taken care of! I would recommend Kindred Hospital to anyone! It has been awesome and made this hard time on our family a little easier knowing our Mom is being taken well care of!Nicole Sheridan

My cousin is presently in Kindred and they are not respectful of Patient Rights. The patient has a Trach yet, she is cognitive in every way. My cousin spiked a 101.7 temp, has a broken hip and is requesting her mother because she told the nurse she is scared. The patients mother was called and states she will come from work which was 10p they told the mother she could not come bc they didn’t have permission. This is this woman’s only child if something happens to her after just losing her husband and father in the last year what kind of respect is being given? As a nurse myself I am very familiar with patient rights and I have never encountered such disregard for the patient. We must do better than this. The nurses claim they are short and can’t answer the call lights frequently for her so myself and her mother are available to take that burden off of the personnel. This kid is only 37 years old, step in her shoes PLEASE!!!Tammy George

*Update* this place killed my father!!! He had a bed sore that was severely infected and required his packed in dressing to be changed twice a day. well during one weekend a nurse said that her back was hurting and/or was sick and didn't change his dressings for the whole weekend, requiring my father to have to have a emergency surgery, which he didn't make it out. Please don't send your loved ones here. This place is terrible!! If it wasn't for my family and I visiting my Dad daily nothing would ever get done. He'll push the call light and NOBODY comes, until one of us go and physically get someone and even then they seem offended that they were asked to do their job. When asked questions, they give you the runaround and never fully answer the question. There's no communication between staff. I understand that they're understaffed and overworked, but come on that's not an excuse to not to do your job at all.Jennifer Geiger

This place could use a lot of training additional staffing seminars in customer service. Shout out to Miss Vicky the aide who did a tremendous job. Amanda the nurse did a awesome job on my mother's wounds. There were numerous times my mother's room was filthy. I cleaned daily changed her bed daily. Almost every time I went in there she was wet. They had the nerve to call me Thursday to tell me the past Tuesday she may or may not have had her medicine! Not to mention them stealing my mom's stuff. I really didn't like the picnic cooler with ice in it with everybody going in and out of it, also the picnic water cooler. So unsanitary. Some of the nurses could use a lot more personal training. One nurse verbally abused her staff right in front of me. Anybody else being honest I wouldn't put anybody here until they clean this place up! Oh I almost forgot a certain nurse I walked up on her twice talking about me and what she wasn't going to do LOL I'm going to pray for her.Andrea Long

If you want your loved one to be properly cared for, do not consider the Laurels of West Carrollton. My wife went to this facility after having a stroke. During the 17 days she was there, the staff never repositioned her as ordered. Because of COVID the family could only make window visits. We all witnessed the lack of pillows or wedges used in repositioning. My wife laid flat on her back with only one pillow under her head for 17 days. As a result, she developed 3 pressure sores and one became infected. Eventually she was rushed to the ER at Sycamore Hospital and two months later she passed away. I hope no one else considers this nursing home after reading this.Douglas Coatney

This is my Brother's second time back to the Laurels of West Carrollton. After a bad experience with a few other nursing homes and an assisted living facility iam beyond grateful to Sandy for helping me get him back closer to my mom and I. The staff and the facility are just wonderful. After a few years we still know so many good people and staff.Sheri Hosken

Don't waste your time. Go to wright state, or any other real university. Clark state credits don't transfer well and some of their classes don't meet state requirements. Heed the bad reviews on this so called, "college". There's a lot of better colleges in the area that treat their students with more respect. The classes aren't that much cheaper here. This place puts the old saying, "You get what you pay for" to rest. Because, here at clark state, you do NOT get what you pay for. You actually get less! They won't let you resell some your old books because they're "out-of-date". The teachers are unprofessional and do not care about their students. Clark state is a very poorly run joke of school and needs to be shut down. The positive reviews on this site are created by the staff. There's a teacher here named Ayman Idrees who fraudulently withheld information from me as to why I was kicked out of my program. He's one of the worst things that ever happened to me in my entire life. Be careful, and watch out for this crafty scam artist. I hope you think of my disadvantaged child while you're stuffing your face you disgusting liar. Don't waste your precious time or money. Go to a real university. I don't know how Ayman M. Idrees can be such a cruel man. He's an absolute inhumane monster. My grandson has a child and he still lied to him and withheld information from him. Learn how to treat people like human beings you liar. You really are one of the worst things that happened to me in my entire life you know that? If it wasn't for people like you, people like me could afford to take care of their families. You really should be ashamed of yourself.John S

I love Clark State! I started in Spring 2020 and I have had great experiences with all of the faculty there. Professors are very caring and dedicated to help their students succeed. They handled Covid-19 very well and were very caring for students as we transitioned into virtual learning.Joy P

If you are looking for a smaller college to further your education, Clark State Greene Center is the place to go. I've had nothing but great experiences and extremely helpful professors/staff. I am so thankful I made the decision to go here instead of my original plan.Lexa Purd

I feel these people are rude and disrespectful. Eastway behavioral health unlawfully made these people my payee. I did not authorize it, nor do I want them as my payee. They are withholding my income from me. Everybody that works here is ghetto and unprofessional. Just like at Eastway. Do yourself a favor and don’t choose these Senior resource connect for anything. They’ll Completely ruin your lifeDustie Jones

I have been @this health care place for 10yrs I like working here, but things have change over the years it's not the same, new boss new schedulers, they confuse can't get stuff right none communication with each other about schedule, but I'm going to stick with them because over the years they have been down with me,so I'ma stay down with you Senior Resource just get it together & just do better😍😐constance mcclure

We have been on their meals on wheels program for over a year now and it's great. Lunches are good quality and are pretty good too. I have had 2 drivers, both very friendly.Elongo06

I love this school and everything they have to offer. This is a wonderful place to further your education. They are very helpful with all your needs and work hard at providing you with the necessary tools to achieve your goals. I mainly go to the centerville campus-since I live right around the corner in Kettering, but I’ve been to the main campus a time or two. It’s very easy to find everything here, and a cute layout. It’s so much more than a community college, and hopefully one day they will take on the full roll. Until now it’s a great place to be. You can also get your bachelor’s here for only a couple select programs. I highly recommend this college to any and all. Their is no reason to pay tens of thousands in college fees, simply for a name that nobody in the professional world even cares about. This college is great for the pocket and your brain.Evie Gervais

Still one of the best educational values in the country. Sinclair has agreements with most of the major state universities and 4-year colleges, as well as robust adult education/trade education programs. And the campus is nicely laid out. It's easy to get to and from, there is ample parking (you may have to "cruise" at peak times), and most of the campus is connected by sheltered walkways or tunnels.Athena Prime

Sinclair Community College has really been improving over these past few years. I'm currently attending the Nursing program. The newer building 14 is really nice and clean and has nice practice styled simulation rooms and equipment. Most of the professors I've encountered have been a positive, there are a few though that should reconsider being a teacher.Dani Ewing

The low price reflects the level of quality your education will be. The teaching curriculum must literally say “POWERPOINT PRESENTATIONS ONLY” because that’s all every class ever is. Definitely won’t be spending my money here ever again.Noah Lingg

You can take general education courses here and even earn some certificates. Staff is always willing to help. If you need to sit down with an Academic Advisor be sure to call ahead and schedule an appointment.Bethany Wilson

Before applying to the University we think it is the best. But after applying, they don't even care us. They delay our application, don't even respond to us. This is my experience : " I have applied for Masters in Renewable and Clean energy for fall 2k14. I have waited more than 2 months after I have applied. I was repeatingly asking for my admission status but finally after a long time I got a denial letter. Shocked!!!!!! I have asked for the reason for my denial. They said that due to low academics. I was surprised. The eligibility is 3.0 GPA. My profile is GPA: 3.47 , GRE : 300 , published 4 research papers in International journals, presented a paper in an International conference, presented 2 papers and 1 model in National level symposiums and banged 1st prize in every event. " All these achievements were thrown into the dustbin. I requested to reconsider. But there is no response. Feeling frustated of hearing such silly reasons.Raghav Mallipeddi

To be fair, I'm not a student. I'm not a Catholic. I don't even live in Ohio anymore. But after touring, this is seriously my dream school. It has literally EVERYTHING I want in a college. If only it wasn't so darn selective and expensive! But hey, a school like this deserves to only take the best of the best. Can't wait to apply here this fall, among my top choices FOR SURE.Wes

Attended UD as a nontraditional student, which remains, to this day, an outstanding educational community. Amazed at their expansive, yet compassionate vision. Have always said, 'If a student isn't successful here, they were either foolish or their opportunity or not meant for higher education.Al Thompson

This is the worst place you could ever go! Most of the professors are terrible! They don't actually check to see what it's like for students in the classroom and if they do the professors straighten up. The tuition is outrageous considering the school has no fun activities or extra-curriculars to offer. Don't waste your money or your time. After transferring, I found that the professors at other schools are significantly more interested in you as an individual and put a lot of time into making sure you understand the material. Plus, the science labs are updated once I transferred! Don't spend this kind of money for nothing to offer. Just don't waste your time. They also deceive you and don't talk about the financial issue with their 3+2 program. They say anything and everything to get you there into their human biology program and then don't accept you into their PA program. I decided to transfer schools and not waste my time with this and apply at other PA schools this upcoming summer which is the time I will need to apply. Prepare to be charged for spiritual emphasis. It doesn't matter if you have a job and have to work to pay for school…you have to be there or you will be charged $15…let's just say that money adds up and it's ridiculous that someone should have to attend church when they go to their own church on Sunday's and have to work regularly.Renée Bellamy

I really loved the school when I went there. I did an online program (RN-BSN). It was completely online, I never had to go to campus. I enjoyed most of the professors and thought they were well rounded, knowledge, and approachable. I graduated one semester early when an adviser helped me to figure out how to take a class I needed that was only offered during one semester. (I did have to take this class at Sinclair- online.) I was pleased that the classes were Christ centered and that #1 to me. During school I was pleased. Since I’ve graduated and on the rare occasion I’ve needed to contact the school- I’ve been disappointed. I called not to long ago regarding getting an official transcript and a Registrar named “Barb” was of very little help- and was extremely condescending when I asked for assistance as she told me- “Seriously, what you need is really very simple. Honestly. And you could have found it online.” 1. I looked online first 2. That was a really unnecessary way to talk to someone. Honestly. 3. It’s not ok to make someone feel like a burden when it is actually your job to help them. Also, if it was such a simple request I’m not sure why it was so irritating.Toaster Live

Kettering is a small Christian school with healthcare focused degrees. The close relationship with Kettering Health Network affords many opportunities not as easily found at some other schools. I have enjoyed my time as a student here and feel well prepared for medical school.Ryan LaFave

Thank you all for your feedback. One issue that has been posted has been the parking issue. We have implemented some changes to help improve the parking situation. We have 1) fabricated an unnecessarily complicated scheme to defraud taxpayers of the state by using the university as a shell company for our rich trustees. 2) we tried to screw the faculty and staff of benefits and pay so they can support themselves and their families which led to a strike, 3) we have a president who is incompetent and has yet to understand the correlation between students enrolled and revenues. We (the board of trustees and president) have tarnished the illustrious reputation and have stopped actively recruiting students. Taken together, these have led to a decrease in enrollment of approximately 20%. Parking issues resolved. Edit: Some of you have reported complaints regarding some of your professors. Tied to the above issues, we have strived tirelessly and relentlessly to eliminate as many of the mobile professors as we could. Those are the professors who have maintained top notch research portfolios that contribute to the overall body of knowledge in their respective fields. While some still remain, we know they are likely actively looking for other jobs as we still can’t seem to figure out how to run a university.Joe Smith

If you need mental health services, good luck. Over 2 months on a waiting list to receive counseling so if you are having a hard time I guess deal with it. If you want to see a psychiatrist you must come in 2 hours before you will be seen and it's not even guaranteed you will be seen because they only accept 3 people a week. The nursing program is an absolute disaster. Professors are disorganized and not even fluent in the subject which they teach. You will ask them a question and they wont have the answer and/or will be rude to you for even asking. My academic advisor in my first year told me to sign up for classes I didn't even need so I completely wasted time and money because I did not figure this out until it was too late. Avoid this school at all costs, it's absolutely falling apart because the admin misused our hard earned money we put into this school expecting an education and receiving basically nothing in return. I would like to add that the staff at mental health services is wonderful and I did have some great gen. ed professors and they deserve a school that will put it's money in the right places to benefit students and staff.Meagan Kellis

This University once was cutting edge. It is a great place to start certain educational pursuits. If you are a grad student, this is a great opportunity. Undergrads? You'd get better bang for your dollar elsewhere. The financial problems of this school has negatively impacted the school's ability to grow and recruit at a competitive level. The leadership of the school – President & Board of Trustees – has been lackluster at best in the past 20 years. The result is loss of sports programs, inability to attract and retain quality student+centered professors. The school is ANTI-First Amendment with respect to all students have equal voice, freedom of thought and expression. The one major advantage Wright State University has is its proximity to auto industry, defense industry, research opportunities, space (satellite) development and well-supported (by local communities) student life.Nathan Setters

This is my second college experience. I previously attended a popular university for my first bachelors degree. The Christ College of Nursing and Health Sciences so far has surpassed my previous college experience. The staff here are so incredibly helpful, the college is very organized, and I truly feel set up for success here. If I ever have a question it is answered promptly and so many of the staff members have bent over backwards to be helpful during my transition into their ABSN program. I am truly pleased with them so far and am glad I chose this college!Dannie Dickenherr

I’m proud of my wife Bonita T. for following her dream of becoming a Nurse. Christ has offered a calm and welcoming setting. The first thing she said when going to the meet and greet was “I’m in the right place, I know it” For her not to have any doubts or question the school “she has visited a few” is a very big deal. The Christ College of Nursing has to be where she belongs! I will completely support her decision to attend, I know she will be an amazing RN. She has a big heart and an even bigger drive. I can’t wait to see her at the finish line!SxftieExf

I am overjoyed to give The Christ College of Nursing and Health Science a big high five. Bonita T. is very special to me and I know she will be great! She has kept me informed with every step from applying to being accepted. She explained how nice everyone was with different steps she had to take. When she had questions she said the school was prompt in returning calls and e-mails. That is a big deal when you have deadlines to meet. Especially for a college that is in high demand. You guys are awesome, keep up the great work!marva stone
