20 Best Lpn Programs In Sacramento, CA (2022 Updated)

The staff is very helpful from enrolling to making sure you have everything you need for class. MTI has some of the best teachers around! Every teacher I’ve had so far has been super helpful and understanding and go above and beyond to explain every step of the way so you don’t feel lost. They’re very hands on and invested in every student’s success. When I first came in I felt overwhelmed as to how things would be like but they were all very reassuring. As long as you come to class and pay attention and ask questions there’s no way you can fail!Titus Tinch

BY FAR THE BEST INSTITUTION I HAVE EVER INVESTED MY TIME & ENERGY IN! The moment you walk in for a consultation, the staff will greet you with a smile & positive energy. They are very organized and have great communication skills. If you are lost and need further assistance, the instructors and staff will be there for you. You can most definitely count on them! This is not just a school, this is a community. Much love to ya'll, keep up the good work!Balla Diarra

It is my third week and so far the in person classes have been extremely helpful. I love the campus and staff are extremely friendly. They will go over anything if you don't understand it, even if it is your 4th or 5th time asking. The availability of the teachers ranges according to their own schedule. There are Multiple teachers and instructors to help you out.Richard Saelee

Overall, an okay community college experience so far from 2019 to 2022 (I took some summers off). The registration process for me was a nightmare. OpenCC upon some of the other processes were buggy, nonfunctional, or unclear. Despite this, I have to give them slack as when I was applying they were revamping their websites significantly. There's a mixed bag of good and bad staff. Some professors will be insanely rude, not understanding, and sometimes not even lecture properly on the topic at hand. Other professors will be really kind, understanding, and actively willing to work with you. Always look up the professor on Rate My Professor!!! Eservices, Canvas, and Counseling are atrocious. Eservices has been buggy at times or down for multiple hours. Canvas is usually a decent online learning tool, but sometimes it can get buggy and is not always accessibility friendly (as seen by not having a dark mode for example). I recall a time when Canvas was down due to the host servers, which are owned by Amazon, were completely offline. Counseling is not always helpful in guiding you to where to go next, will sometimes not even answer calls nor emails, and can get really busy (even with the switch from the old building to the Welcome and Support Center). I suggest looking up some information yourself on ARCs website first before talking to counselors, such as course catalogs or what classes you might take for a specific associates degree. I wish that counseling would still give out PHYSICAL course catalogs, but it is what it is. Finance is usually okay for parking passes, but other services is like pulling teeth. Communication on what is going on campus varies from good to poor. An example of this is when the pandemic began around midterms and there was the report of two people being exposed to Covid on campus, which caused mass panic and multiple people just walking out of class. Parking can sometimes be an issue, so be prepared to walk a little bit. Also, you will need a parking pass from a kiosk or buy a parking pass permit for the semester. Bathrooms could use some work. I recall a time where after flushing the bathroom started to flood. Food choices were fairly solid. If you were going to Starbucks or Subway during lunch, lines would get long. Only food offered on campus now is either from the student store, the cafeteria, the Oak Cafe, or the few vending machines on campus. Off campus, there's quite a few food places around, such as Lis Mongolian BBQ, Chik Fil A, and In-N-Out. The bookstore has been unorganized in the past, but is relatively chilled back and clean nowadays. Be warned that some things will be overpriced, but that's normal for college. Also, don't be shocked if there's a hassle with ordered books or book returns for refunds.Emily “Emma Anne” Branecki

It's almost like 90% of the people who work here will be rude over the phone and tell you to do everything online. They have messed up most of my paperwork, resulting in me having to resubmit residency forms, application forms, proof of ID. Somehow they put me as out-of-state which includes a 900% markup per credit. I went from expecting a $150 bill for a single class and ended up with a $1200 bill. No one wants to help sort it out. No one wants to answer the phone. The website is difficult to navigate. Honestly, I have had a single positive experience with one person in Admissions, and everyone else has been pushy, rude, dismissive, and argumentative. I am considering switching to literally any other school in the district. My partner attends SCC and it's laughable how smoothly they handled his transition back to school, compared to mine. Edit: it should also be noted that I had applied to ARC 4 times since 2013 and never received a welcome letter. I had emailed asking why I applied and was not told anything, or emailed, called – nothing. I got no response. Called last month because I was at my wits end and I am told "I can't give you a student ID number because your application was DENIED." I asked why and she told me she couldnt tell me. I asked for a supervisor who immediately told me "we have the wrong SSN for you, so none of your applications were accepted because it didn't watch our records." My CORRECT SSN, was being rejected. In 8 YEARS NO ONE EVER TOLD ME THIS. Just like they didn't tell me I was listed as out of state, despite submitting residency information multiple times. This school is a JOKEI Illyria

The college is great..,.. the bookstore however is 1 star at best. The school district sub-contracted it out and the new facilitators understand that they have a built in market from people having to use their financial aid or other assorted vouchers from various Govt entities and as a result they practice poor customer service utilizing people that are quite adept at rapid fire litanies telling you why none of the delays or shortages are their concern or problem. In fact in my opinion 90% of their employees that deal with the public are nothing more than thugs and bully's. They take no responsibility for faulty instructions in how to use the new book site with vouchers and tell you that they are "saaaawrrrrry" when they tell you they can't locate your books and give you a date when they will be in. Once again, in my opinion, they are nothing more than petty tyrants and bullies that should have their contract terminated for lack of accountability on their part. The layout has changed,alot of the const of the past couple of years is finished. Check updated maps of Campus on Google 😎Greg Spittler

They treat their students like garbage. Very judgmental staff and instructors. They tried to kick me out of the school because the vending machine ate my money and I tried to get the item. They lie and fabricate stories to drop you. I was signed up for a weekly zoom meeting that I wasn't told about and they told my instructors and staff that I never signed up and was rude over the phone. None of that happened. All I ever did was work hard and kept quiet but was told that I yelled in a classroom once?? They couldn't provide any proof. Weird and bizarre staff that goes behind your back yet smiles to your face. I commute over an hour to get here and work late night hours I don't deserve that treatment and am disappointed and ashamed of the staff here. Definitely wouldn't recommend to anyone unless you want to be discriminated against the whole time. Terrible experience Update: an instructor named Bruce Weaver told me to leave because I was wearing shorts and go home and change because it wasn't dress code. On a day that was 105 degrees. This guy is a complete joke and is a terrible instructorGoron Saki

My experience at Asher College has honestly been the most successful I've been at any level of education previously. The Instructors they assign to us and the way in which we are allowed to pursue knowledge, be it through reading or lectures or hands on trail and error, make not just learning the information possible, but guaranteed! I honestly believe this College has a system that adapts to its individual students and that combined with the motivational and friendly environments they create, make this the BEST and MOST SUCCESSFUL Education experience I've ever had! 10/10 would recommend!Cam2Koo

I never expected to learn so much before attending Asher College. The Instructors and administration are some of the greatest people I've ever met; no matter how busy they are, they will never let you feel unimportant. The instructors are knowledgeable and the administrative staff are so very helpful. I attended this school during a hard time and I felt nothing but care from all. They enjoy seeing you succeed and have an inspiring passion for teaching. THANK YOU for giving me such an enriching learning experience.Chris Agnew

I started the program with Ms Perez as my lab instructor and ended with Ms Patrice. I'm older, laid off from a 25yr career and didn't know what to do with my life let alone where to start. Ms Perez and Ms Patrice made learning so easy, fun and amongst all, they made it interesting and made me feel excited to keep attending. The process at Unitek is easy to complete due to the communication level the staff has with their students. My career advisor, Ms Lisa is great! Ms Lisa Literally held my hand through the exiting process, kept in touch throughout my externship, made sure I was staying sane throughout the process of going to extern, working nights and taking care of my family. Walked me through my application process for a job, held my hand through the interview process, kept in touch throughout the whole process until I got an offer letter!!!! My experience with everyone at Unitek was great, but my experience with Ms Lisa is one that needs to be recognized!!!!Chris Fusi

I had a wonderful experience with Ms. Patrice my laboratory instructor and Ms. Perez. Both have mentored me & helped me become the MA I am today. Ms. Lisa Haynes in Career Services is a hard worker & goes to bat for her students. I received a job offer during my externship, that was too good to pass up as a new grad, thanks to her guidance. I recommend taking your MA in the day class as the PM class lacks structure & professionalism with one particular teacher…that is the only reason I left off a star. The school itself has a fully functioning lab for clinical experience, is safe, clean, holds dinners or gives treats for student morale and tuition is less than other schools in the Bay Area.Jennifer Wills

Instructors are professional with vast and extensive work experiences. They are genuinely caring and helpful for the sucess of the student and learning environment. Each department provided substantial support that made going through the program easier. Courtney and Rachel with Career Services gave us the confidence and tools to help make the transition from student life into the working world smooth.Gigi Tamayo

Minorities please think twice about going here , if you hang out with minorities please think twice about going here if you’re related to minorities… PLEASE think twice about going here . At orientation the owner of the school told the whole nail tech class to not be “ghetto” at this school and looked at me and another African American student directly in our eyes and we asked her what she meant and she didn’t elaborate but repeated herself another time. There have been so many incidents of harassment and making up rules as they go . The principal and owner are related so there’s no point in requesting meetings or looking for resolutions because they will team up with eachother and the best part I was kicked out WEEKS before graduation , the OWNER stated that she did not think I wanted to be successful because she knows my Type I wonder what that means ….. please run far away from this school .Adore Anala

I've been coming to B.A.B.E. for a few years now, they're the only place I go to get my hair done. I've had great experiences with all of the students and instructors, and my most recent appt I had with miss Justina. I went in with a hot mess of a grown out asymmetrical cut, and knew I wanted a long pixie. Justina really helped calm my nerves about such a drastic and dramatic change in my hairstyle, helped me sculpt a true work of art, and I have to say I will DEFINITELY be requesting her services again. I have to recommend B.A.B.E. and Justina, call and ask for an appt with her, trust me, you will not regret it!Allison Hunter

Had made an appointment my very first time coming here, staff was excellent as well as my hair done by Amanda Barber. The teacher walks around and helps everyone achieve what they need by giving them tips as they’re working. I was very impressed with the professionalism and enthusiasm of the place. Definitely coming back and encourage anyone to go that’s wants a good outcome at a decent price.gina cianna

I attended UEI last year. My program was medical billing and insurance coding. I want to thank my professor Mr. Bruce, for not giving up on, always pushed me to succeed even when I felt I was asking questions in the class when I felt no question was too small or too big because he answered all my questions. I would also like to thank Ms. Ebony who was always there from a shoulder to cry on and a great role model to look up to she was the one that gave me the push and motivation that i Needed to present my assignment to my class assignment. I would also like to thank Ms. Belinda for the great opportunity to work as a student worker after losing my job as a preschool teacher. When I first started everyone was so nice and welcoming and I was happy that I was able to eat to meet everyone. I started my program in April 2021 and my program End on January 2022 . I feel like UEI is not the same anymore because it is harder to get in contact with anyone and you will get the run around for example while on my extern at UEI my grandmother was I admitted to the hospital my only wish was for her to see my walk across the stage Even if that meant my mom recording s so my grandma can see me walk across the stage Unfortunately with graduation day changing my grandmother passed away before my graduation. I am happy that i joined uei because i was able to meet new humble outstanding down to earth people . If you do decide to join uei do not loose you’re focus and let drama distract you from your main goal get your your education and leave.Cassandra Bonner

I decided to try this school, only went a couple times and during that time they let go off my teacher and when the tablet they gave me was messing up they said they would fix it and give it back. I had asked for help on how he was gonna continue online classes they were no help. So I decided this wasn’t the school for me. I called to drop the classes and they said that would be okay. Hadn’t heard from them in months til I randomly get a text welcoming to “my first day” and it wasn’t til I received an email asking me to pay my first payment did I call them and try to ask what was going on. Get some info on why this was happening. While on the phone with them they were very unprofessional, instead of just answering my questions and moving on they made it seem like I was a burden that I wanted to see what was going on. Got transferred to another woman, she tells me something then hangs up on me. I call back and even the main desk hangs up on me. Call again and sends me to a voicemail system like how unprofessional can you guys be! You guys are supposed to be about helping and making your students succeed but when it really comes down to it. That’s all lies. If I could give this school no stars I would.Briezzy Bby

Stay away from this school….ghetto, unprofessional, and a BIG waste of time and money. GO TO CARRINGTON or a different more professional school!! Half of the staff here has quit, they are extremely unorganized, school is overpriced for the education you are given, there were fights every week in the medical assistant program as if it were a middle school or even high school. Graduation was held in a parking lot because I assume they waited to long to book a venue, certification at the end is not a real degree its a thin piece of paper and looks extremely corny to the point my employer made fun of it. Not sure where this tuition money goes but for $19,900 I would expect better certification, a real graduation ceremony, and tools such as books, computers, programs that allow you to practice medical billing etc not a $72 kindle and books that can't leave the classroom. Also keep in mind compared to Carrington and MTI who only has 150 externship hours, UEI requires 250 hours for the medical billing department. Almost $20,000 I could have saved and got a real education through a real college.Czerina B.

Bradford College of Nursing is the best school. Edwin, Erica and Mrs Marie are the best. They are very understanding, caring, and helpful. I went for medical assisting and now I am certified and working in the medical field, all thanks to Edwin, Erica and Mrs Marie . They treated me as if I was family. They always understands and listens to me, if I had problems with my class schedule they will work with me. If I had 100 questions and I asked Mrs Marie she always answered all my questions. If I did not understand the work Mrs Marie sat down with me and explained over all the work. She made sure I always understand the work. Bradford College is the best school. I recommend this school for anyone. You would not regret the decision you make of going to Bradford College of Nursing. Mrs Marie is the best. Thank you Mrs Marie, Edwin and Erica. I have no regrets going to Bradford College of Nursing. Edwin, Erica and Mrs Marie May god bless you all and please continue doing an excellent job. Thank you for having me at Bradford College . Mrs. Marie is the best instructor anyone can ask for. She always put a smile on my face through difficult times and made the class work so easy.Reshma Naidu

I was more than prepared to take my state exam with ARC all because of Erica and Milva. Bradford has one of the cheapest and shortest CNA program in the 209, which is why I was drawn to the school in the first place. I knew I got my monies worth after completing the program and seeing how much effort the instructors put in to ensuring that their students pass their state exams. Although my group was only able to go to clinicals for one weekend because of the pandemic, we were given more than enough time to practice skills at their Simulation Labs. Their Sim Labs are complete with all the supplies, including beds and mannequins, that are used on the state exam and on actual LTC facilities. I appreciated how flexible they were with payments by offering weekly or biweekly payments, instead of having to pay in full before starting the program like other schools. I was also able to get my CPR certification through the school for an additional $60. Overall, I’m more than pleased with my experience and I now understand why many reviewers raved about the school.Zarah Abenes

I just completed the CNA program the school offers and, I must say it was worth every penny and time. The course was 6 weeks and went by extremely fast. The curriculum is very easy to process. I'm so happy I decided to take the course at the time I did. The instructor Milva is Awesome. She has so much knowledge and you can learn so much from her. The Administrative team Edwin and Erica are great too. The engery and passion the two display to help you be successful to pass your State Exam is phenomenal. They treat you like family and care about your success. I highly recommend to all who wish to enter the Medical field. This is the school to choose. I am also looking forward to completing the EKG program to continue to build my skill set. Thank You Bradford College of Nursing. You guys are Awesome. Continue to do what you do.Chanaya Watson

My LOVE for the ultrasound program at Gurnick is way beyond. – from the teachers to the challenging curriculum. All the faculty members of sonography program integrates with compassion into their teaching standards, emphasizes the importance of values, and builds leaders through each of their classes and lessons. Sonography program is not an easy program. You have to be passionate about working in this field with patient care and being proactive. It’s takes a lot of hard work and dedication and determination. The director and the professor’s made sure that each of us are successful in this program. Though it is a private school, I had to work hard for this program and be successful And every member from financial aid to coordinators to front desk made sure that we all are given help and guidance when we need it. Teachers are passionate about seeing their students succeed. They are so great about sharing moments of pride they see within us. I love my ultrasound program at Gurnick. Let’s keep on scanning with love.Rehnaz Bi

Definitely would recommend this school. I am a current student in the ultrasound program and I have gained so much knowledge for the time I have been there thus far. Instructors go above and beyond to make sure the material is taught well and share new skills to make sure we are the best at our jobs, for ourselves and our patients. Jorge, the program director is always finding diverse techniques to make learning a fun experience. The curriculum is awesome as well as the environment. I went in not knowing what I looking at on a “black and white screen” and now I can point out all of the anatomy as well as complete diagnostic exams. If you’re interested, I definitely recommend speaking to Jorge, he always puts the student’s best interests first!Jassamyn Shergill

I am a current Ultrasound student at Gurnick Academy and I am pleased with my decision to apply to this program. This is NOT an easy program, it will challenge you in many ways. However, you are given plenty of support and resources to help you succeed. I have yet to have a day where we are not able to practice scanning, which is very impressive compared to other programs. All instructors are experienced sonographers that set clear expectations for student performance. The director of the Ultrasound Program, Jorge, will go above and beyond for his students while preparing us for the field and anything it may throw at us. I would recommend this program to anyone looking for a serious and successful career in ultrasound.Olivia Smith

I started this program unsure what to expect, however I was quickly emerged into an informative, challenging and interesting medical assisting program. My instructors Mrs Soto and Mrs El Arbi were great teachers who pushed us to be out best and to further our education each day of class. They had tons of knowledge and experience about the field to share with us as they pushed us to be our best in skills like blood draws, injections, assisting providers and vitals to name a few. The schedule of classes and the homework was the perfect amount time/content, allowing me to succeed, gaining many deans list awards. Richie from career services helped me succeed with professionalism, resume building and practicing for interviews. A big thank you to everyone who helped me further my career.Emily martin

Unitek College has been a great school to attend. My instructor Mrs. Soto was the best. She gave me the confidence, guidance, and skills I needed to feel prepared and go into the medical field. Richie from career services was also great. He always made sure to reach out and make sure you are on track and offered great help and advice. And Ms. Mitchell made my extern-ship an easy process. Whenever I had a question she was always there to answer anything. I definitely had the experience I did thanks to these individuals. They care for each of their students and that was always appreciated.Stephanie Mendieta

Unitek College has been a great experience. I attended the MA program and I had both Mrs.James and Mrs.Soto. Every instructor that I met was so kind and respectful. These instructors make sure that you succeed and feel comfortable going out into the field. I want to give all the staff a thanks, they were always there for anything I needed. A special thanks to Monique Mitchell, she was the instructors assistant and our externship coordinator. She is such a sweet and amazing caring lady.Leslie Ruelas

Overall Unitek college was a great experience for me. Both of my teachers were there for me and answered emails in a timely manner. I don’t think I would’ve gone to the school because I do live about two hours away but Futuro health paid for it that’s why I went here. I believe everything went smoothly just until the end with my externship I had a place in mind and my coordinator basically just told me to take the first externship she chose me. It took us a while because she is not from the state and everything that she was looking was about three hours away from where I currently live. If there is one thing I could probably change from this place it would be to make it more of a in person learning because everything was pretty much on the computer except for labs one day every two weeks I did feel like I learned but I feel like I would’ve learned more if there was more in person learning then over the computer. I do feel like some teachers don’t really pay attention to the stuff because there were some places that I would leave blank and I would still get 100% on them. Overall I do recommend the school but I do feel like they are some areas it can get some work on.Stephanie Ramirez

When they say for profit they are not kidding around! The teachers have their favorites. Miss Chua has a thick accent makes learning difficult on top of her accent she sometimes gets really worked up in her lectures and begins to kind of shout and speak faster than i can follow. They lack the skill of communication. I think the only staff that knows how to properly communicatw is Sera but she is in admissions i believe. Miss Chua has made me feel like I am not a valued student and does not try her best to accomodate students. For example if you are late for an ati test she will pick a time and it doesnt matter if it fits with your work schedule outside of school. Emails, and calls do not seem to work with this set of instructors especially her. I wish Unitek would change some of their policies regarding communication between student and staff. I also wish there was more diversity on campus, SSF location lacks diversity and frankly i do not think they even celebrate other races…Hailly Green

I reached out to know more and actually start and get an education , i started talking to an admission representative named Ariel Edwards and set up appointment i unfortunately wasn't able to make it due to getting sick & taking care of my youngest sister and i had , i let her know ahead of time about my situations as well but when it came to rescheduling asking for a later time she completely ignored me & stopped talking to me , the least she could have done was straight up say she didn't want to help me anymore really unprofessional . At the end i turned to san jose unitek and My experience was amazing , i am currently enrolled and ready to start classes , for anyone wanting to enroll in a unitek college i definitely recommend san jose , they reach out to you day by day , let you know the different times you can go when setting an appointment & don't leave you hanging .Ashley Ramirez

Nice and new building. Ada compliant with nice main room for studying and hanging out. Nice restrooms and water fountain with water bottle refill. Nice and advanced classrooms with lots of new technologySharon Cohen

Not a question but just a desperate comment. This is so depressing I tried to contact the program director as recommended by the business manager here. She never reached out to me and all I was told is that my money was not going to be refunded because I decided to not continue with the program. Well after ALL of course I don't want to continue with the program all this lies being told to me before you guys took my money. You must know that $1500 is a lot for anyone in my situation that's why I begged to get it back since I borrowed it now I have to pay it back and on top of that my mother is very sick. Not that you care because is not your mother but there is things I could use this money for and I am just so desperate because I can't borrow more money since I can't pay this $1500 back. Can someone please help me. Dr Craig was very rude since the beginning and asking about empathy and morals but ma'am where is your empathy now??? You criticize me for not being able to respond to your question about the meaning of it but do you really know it???? My mother is dying 😢 and all I am asking for is for MY BORROWED MONEY BACK so I can help with something. I am miserable right now. I just need help to get this money that I NEVER USED back please.Other User

I personally had a good experience at Unitek, the instructors Ms. Sarah, Ms. Suttle and Mr. John always had good feedback and I felt that they cared about us getting the subject/task we had to learn. I was pleased with the practice I got to do, though we could have done more practice of urinalysis, snellen chart, hearing tests and others I can not quite remember at this moment. Amanda Garff with career services was awesome! She was always there when I needed any help with a question or with my resume. She goes above and beyond for students. One thing I did not like, was the fact that before we went onto externship, there was not much communication from the extern coordinators to students going out, we did not know our assigned site, or our schedules or the person whom we had to report to until 2 days before our start date! I know myself and other students were kind of upset that we really did not know our schedules so that we could coordinate child care for the ones who have children.I S T

I had an amazing experience at Unitek. Very helpful teachers and all staff members. Each and every one are dedicated to make sure you are prepared for anything needed for school and your career they are helping you build. Debbie Cacy helped me put together a stellar resume, helped me find, prepare and get an interview for my externship site. They also helped me stay on top of everything even when life was a little bit crazy, they reminded me what documents I needed to turn in and when. The communication is amazing. I have never experienced so many people in my corner helping me succeed in every way they possibly can. I would recommend Unitek to any one interested in a career in the medical field. Even after graduation they are helping me to find a job in my field.Cayla Custodio

I’m a graduate from SUI and I can say without a doubt that students coming from this school are learning above and beyond what you will find at other institutions. I am sure of this as I worked alongside other students from these schools. The knowledge and scanning ability from the SUI students was clearly superior. SUI really gives you the tools you need in the real world to succeed in this field. Even after you graduate they will help you along the way, they treat you like family. I graduated two years ago and am still welcome there whenever I please and staff communicates with me regularly. This is a HUGE difference from the way I was treated when applying at other schools (think big name schools in the Bay Area). SUI also has some really great professors. Here is my review of two of them: Dr. Noori is the smartest person I have ever met in my lifetime and I’m 38 years old. I regularly refer to him in examples as the smartest person I have, or probably will ever meet. Not only is he a genius but he is also very humble, modest, and just genuinely a nice person. One of the greatest people I have ever met and I can only hope to raise my children to be half what he is. Dr. Suhad knows everything there is to know about ultrasound and is so compassionate. She is the most approachable professor you can ask for. Very polite and patient, exactly the characteristics you need in a professor, especially in this challenging field. She’s happy to stay late and help you with any of your needs or go above and beyond to tutor if needed. I just cannot say enough about the staff at SUI, so professional, knowledgeable, and polite. A big contrast to colleges I have attended.Sean

I was told I would be getting a 4D ultrasound when I scheduled my appointment on the phone. I was also misinformed that at 14 weeks pregnant the gender prediction would be 99% accurate . Upon researching this I’ve found it’s actually only 75% accurate. If I had known this before I would have gotten the blood test, which is what I originally called for. The ultrasound tech was frustrated she couldn’t get my baby to move and was audibly sighing through the whole process, then she told us the gender so fast and moved us out of the room we were in disbelief. It honestly ruined the whole exciting moment for us. We were very disappointed in this experience.Amanda Johnston

I am in the Medical Assisting program which is a new program at SUI and I absolutely love this program. The teacher is amazing and makes the classroom a fun learning environment. Being the the MA program it is full of lots of laughter, lots of learning, and hands on work which has made this whole experience amazing. Another reason why I love this school so much is that all the students and staff at SUI are willing to help each other in order to get better. I highly recommend visiting SUI and seeing what the school is about and especially looking into the Medical Assisting program.D'Angel Zavala

Had things going on after over a year going here, decided to drop before the next semester begins to avoid paying for a semester i wont be there for. Called the school talked to admin/Gi bill rep told her I wanted to drop immediately, tried to talk me out of but it I told her i was for sure, then I asked if it was done and I was good, she said yeah. Before I hung up she asked if I could come in to sign some papers, I said no problem but I stressed that the drop needed to take place before the next semester started. Showed up a few days later assuming I was going to sign a paper and leave, asked the clerks for the form and found out that nothing was done and it was a lie to get me to show up. I told her how important it was that I drop before the semester started but the drop hadn't taken place and by that time it was too late, was a $2000 ordeal. After I lost my chance to drop before the semester I tried to make it work but the very reason I was trying to leave ended up happening. It's unfortunate it ended this way. Other notes: School has no problem changing major policies half way through your year, if you feel like your safe because you signed a contract with them there is also a arbitration clause where they pay for their guy to mediate your issues with them. This also prohibits going to court and puts the students in a position where its the school and their choice of mediator who they pay for VS the student. Saw alot of student's who were damaged from the changes and didn't get anywhere. Also school has policy which after completing 60% of your class then you will owe for the rest of the year, so no dropping after that point, just something to look out for so make sure you read all the paperwork cause there is alot of it. Electrical and HVAC teachers are good guys. And many of the staff are helpful people though there are many policies that students don't hear about until it is too late which can put people out.Kevin M

I went to this so-called "school" about four years ago. The financial aid woman totally lied to me about the loan, I was supposed to get some back but apparently she pocketed it herself. And then, they charged me $1,200.00 payable to the school! They said if I paid it, I'd get my diploma and whatever else I needed as proof that I attended the school with great marks. The instructor we had, Mike {cannot recall last name} was totally awesome, a rare individual who really cared and was pretty easy-going. His lectures were very good, his style was just right and the "role play" was pretty cool. Unfortunately he was terminated, as a school rep reported to me when I asked: "It is not our policy to…yada yada yada." All in all they failed me; there was NO help in finding a job, there was NO desire, on their point to help with the job-find part of the deal. I had to find my own damn extern site!! In total, this school sucks. They should have their accreditation checked into, they should be examined for faulty financial aid service, they should examine each employee, especially the financial aid people, to see if they are embezzling from the financial aid being given the students. They're simply a bunch of liars, the "counselors" regardless what they say, are paid a commission for each person they bring in as a student; thus the "bright eyes" lies of the counselors. BEWARE of this school, it isn't what they say it is.rob 56bob

Don’t sign up unless you want to waste your time Listening to these teachers life stories. Learning little to nothing and getting racist remarks said to you then almost getting the cops called on you because somehow your a menace to the school because you put your head down on the table according to some old man that doesn’t know how to open a book and teach the students what we need to learn…most days you go home with no notes and nothing to take home and study the MA class only has 2 or 3 students and the teacher is lazy and unhelpful and a racist And once said to the whole class that she truly believes all Mexicans are good at is making babies. Don’t recommend this school at all and decided to leave and attend a more professional pregitist school… this is a scripted school which will make you believe it’s hard to get in when it’s actuallly really easy some teachers are cool principal is cool and this guy Tom is cool but in majority there’s a lot of stuck up people there snotty kids who think they know it all when half of the time they’re just tryna sound smart I recommend going to ARC instead!Jonny Tang

Was excited at first. Went to the campus tour took my whole family  was going to be an exciting chapter in my life  my parents and I  made a lot of sacrifices  and saved up a good amount  money for housing and for the school itself. Did not want to drive back and fourth everday.  everything  seemed fine at first seeing  all the different  areas friendly staff(seemed like they were putting up a show) but once it got to the point of how the class was going to be paid qualify  for a money loan or program.. etc to  make the story short we followed it along.   And i did not qualify  for niether i dont even think he tried. I was committed  me and my parents had the money for if this happened. (Was not going to take a 2hr drive for nothing) but once the guide told me and my parents  "do guys have a rich family  member or sombody that can lend you the money" his exact words. We felt  discriminated.  We had the money   me and my family ask the rep if he can give us a couple minutes to think about it. Which  at that point we respectfully  walked away. Thank him for the tour.   I cried the way home  this is what me and my parents  were saving up for the past 3yrs. To pay my shcool and housing.  Opened up a family  business  with the money me and mostly parents  saved up.    Best decision  of my life.  All they care about is your money.  And i felt like they discrimated me and  my family.    They just want your money one way or another.  Im not saying there a bad school just the way they aproached  things its all about money.Jesse R

the new blackboard update is terrible, the school over all is a good experience, but some of us drive hours away and work full time just to get by, going to the school is great but the blackboard update as off 7/18/22 ruined every time we are expected to be online for 2 hours but with the update And it being so slow I’ve been working all day just to get home and nothing loads, called support multiple times due to instructors sending you home if lab videos aren’t watched this school is not for someone that is already stretched for time they pride them selfs on 3 hour days but after waiting for every video to load and play your waiting 7-8 hours in total now imagine working full time for 8 hours that’s 16 right there in a day to wake up and drive two hours they need to down grade black board it worked better before and where able to play videos at a higher speed though they can argue nobody learned because students where skipping videos the ILT in class filled up for it you learn everything u need to know without being onlineTyler Paul

Im a diesel graduate and when I called to retake the course to refresh on the information thoroughly, I was promised the "course is free after you graduate." Well when I tried calling the school, one of the representatives told me I should just apply to jobs, but what I told him was that I been told by employers that they dont like to hire UTI students/grads because of the bad reputation they have. Also when you apply out in the real world most of these jobs require you to have outside school experience because the school experience to them means nothing, so my question to UTI is, if you really care about your reputation and your students, why dont you help them excel a little more? Offer them the most knowledge, out of this HIGH tuition rate school.Alejandro Cisneros

I graduated here in 2011. Now 11 years later I still have mixed feelings. You should go to this school only if you absolutely must stay in Sacramento. If you’re recruited from another country for a sport, please note that Sacramento is the capitol of California but it’s 8 hours driving from Hollywood and nothing like the movies. Many of my tennis teammates came from Eastern Europe and said they had no clue, they thought they were coming to do college at the beach and hang out with celebrities. Pros +: Air Force ROTC Program Women’s D1 Tennis Very pretty campus in Fall People were genuinely nice The saaaandwich and soda man Acceptance rate was very high then Gave me the degree and future I needed Cons -: Was very much commuter school Most friends you make here won’t go very far Dating was limited (for straight women) most boys I met were just players that lied No one outside of NorCal has heard of CSUS Parking was an issue Full time in state tuition for Spring 2008 was $1863. My last semester in Spring 2011 was $2500 for part time. Can’t imagine what it is now. Professors who write their own notes/book then sell it for their course for $200+ Some of the courses I had to take were not very useful I didn’t feel safe after or before dark on campus and nearby apartment parking lots that friends lived in. I used to run in the dark to/from my car.April B

One of the many, proud students who used to go to Sac State; graduated in the fall of 2019 (and luckily before Covid-19 told everyone to screw off). I was trying to get into Graphic Design but I had no money. So I opted instead for a BA in Studio Art Methods (New Media Focus). I was taking Multicultural Studies on the side. Everything is expensive, some of the faculty have personality issues, the few Alt-Right people kept "yelling theater in a crowded fire house;" the school's transit system doesn't go far enough, and some of the buildings had issues with rain water coming through the roofs. But I have no regrets. The area's beautiful, we're able to get help with food and studies, the learning of other cultures was "colorful" in a positive way, and most of the faculty are pretty awesome. It's not UC Davis, but I highly recommend taking your chances here.Hectotane

I went here on my Field Trip in my Sophomore year and I got to say I was speechless. I was amazed by the structure of the buildings, there was bunch of scholars/students of this University and it was so big that I didn't know what kind of reaction I made. It was fun walking around and seeing so many people. It feel kind of weird because I don't like to see so many people in one place. The cafeteria is pretty small. It crowded most of the time because I can't believe they even have fast food restaurants inside a cafeteria and also Starbucks. It feel like I can reach the top of the ceiling over my head if I was tall enough and be able to touch it. I enjoyed it and it was fantastic to experience a University college.Cheesy 24

What a great move in experience and the perfect place for my father. Frances was absolutely incredible with working with myself and my father to provide a great introduction experience and make us both feel really comfortable with the pre-screening process. Robert was really welcoming of us both and mad the move it so smooth. We moved in within an afternoon and he was dining with some of the other residents as soon as we got in. Great location to wine bar and to lunch restaurants that he will surely enjoy along with easy access to the bus and mass transit system. I can’t wait to visit again and see how he acclimates.Jay Irwin

The administrator and the supervisor was wonderful very professional place was nice and clean and the employees was very kind and professional and the residence was very happy that is a place that I will recommend for anyone who need a play for Mom and Dadmarie williams

My mother has been living here nearly 3 years and we could not be happier. The staff is incredibly kind and friendly, and the management has been so careful during this time of Covid. We wholeheartedly recommend Pioneer House!Nancy Sue Olsen

I had the best experience getting my degree at the Jessup online school. I love being able to work at my own pace to complete my degree. Instead of B.S. degree taking the 4 full years, I was able to complete in 3 years!Stephanie Lindsey

I was very impressed with my experience. Getting my bachelors degree was one of my goals I never thought I could achieve. Now, I have it and they helped me find a job immediately after!Liam Wilson
