The campus is full of very friendly people that are willing to help direct you were you are going. I will be attending this university next fall and I am so excited. The weather in the fall is beautiful and fresh. I would recommend this college to anyone who is looking to go to a smaller college that has an easy going environment. Love this University!Conner Steadman

WT is a great place to go for a degree that you won't spend 30 years paying off. Some of the experiences can be a pain(finding out how much your payments are initially and when they're due, inconsistent information in their various systems on what classes are required for the degree).Alex Kitchens

Four year liberal arts and science university with graduate degrees in several disciplines. Affiliated with the Southern Baptist Convention, Hardin-Simmons University also offers theological education, including doctoral programs, through its Logsdon Seminary. The library has a great collection of Texas archives. Nice residential facilities, several new structures. Known for it's religious activities, the university undertakes several community service and missions projects every year. With the Cowboy theme, the sports program is well known. The white riding horses have represented the school in numerous national events.Theodore Mall

Greatly disturbed by the so-called leadership of this school, who caves to trending social pressure rather than stand up. Disciplining a student for making a point supported by facts? The school turned an opportunity for discussion into another example of how free speech is only allowed when it matches the current worldly view. Instead of deeming others' observations as "Christian" or not based on what is currently socially acceptable, the school would do well to return to the Bible and take a look at the standards they claim they believe.C

I have been going to ,TX for 45 years and I have never been inside the Library.What a shame! The rooms are absolutely gorgeous.Detailed woodwork,marble and more. Checkout the history of the library before or after you go.Its quite impressive how much money Abilene,have donated to make this library the great institution that it is.Danita Carey

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

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

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

Great school for engineering and decent for nursing. Business school will depend on your work and the professors you choose(from 1-4 ⭐️). The support sucks. Try calling financial aid or student accounts and you know how living in purgatory feels like. One hour of waiting on the line is typical and if you wanna use the outdated mymav website to get help without calling them, good luck 😉 The number in the picture below belongs to student accounts department who will drop you from all your classes when u owe money so you need speed dealing with them. I suggest you’ll go there physically even if you’re infected with Covid19 as you have a better chance of reaching them in person. And the pictures following the call are from when i went to student accounts in person and the line for service goes into a second building. Meanwhile only one or two of their 6 booths are open for service….Daniel P

If I could give this university a zero star, I would do it. As an international student, I have millions of terrible experiences with this university. The graduate school and the international students office have been really really rude. They will try to frustrate you using any way they could. Also, the insurance requirement for international students have been so unfair. They will charge you lots lots of money for the insurance for the summer time even though you are not enrolled in any classes during the summer. Also, the staff working in the graduate school have been so rude and know very little. Some of the graduate and undergraduate classes have been so meaningless and do not worth the money.yaqing cao

Atm a lot of construction is going around the university. Either adding new school building, dinning areas, or apartments around the school. The gym is great, great gym equipment, indoor track, and classes that you can sign up for if you do not like working out alone. Building are easy to locate but if you have trouble finding them people will be nice to direct to the correct locations. School spirit is shown once in a while via the fountains (blue water) Very diverse univeristy. People from all over the U.S. and other countries.Jenni Jenni

So it’s been some time, but I’m ready to share our story at MD Anderson Cancer Center. They are known as the best of the best… honestly, 99% of facilities can render the NCCN Standard of Care. We chose MDA due to mother’s extremely rare form of leukemia. At first things were going well, until they weren’t. After the second stem cell transplant, she developed a fungal lung infection. Overnight you could see the physician team were ready to wipe their hands. At seventy days inpatient, they took advantage of my father who stayed in-room the entire time. They referred to it as “comfort care” when in reality it was palliative care. They did not explain they were ceasing intervention. The attitude of the nurses and physicians changed once we realized the sham they had pulled. I ended up having to record interactions with the care team due to the constant lies. A ED Physician came in the room screaming at my father at 3am “She’s dying and you’re over there sleeping!” The monitors were not being monitored at the nursing station, which resulted my mother going into full pulmonary arrest. A night custodian actually discovered this event. We had the organ harvest team visit multiple times, even after saying no, for a signature to study the organs. They said it could be six to nine months for the body to be returned. We would not recommend this money hungry corporation to anyone, unless they are the only location for a clinical trial. Read actual patient reviews and look past the cute commercials. For the record, they billed insurance $158k, per night, for room and board. This did not include medications, diagnostics, or any other care.Justin

DO NOT come here for critical care. If your loved one needs ICU- get transferred. The doctors did a terrible job communicating the severity of my mothers condition. They also didn’t try all treatment methods for her condition most ICUs would be equipped to handle. I am an icu nurse and I knew she was declining fast. The doctors made multiple excuses to not have a meeting with my family to be honest and discuss goals of care, even though I asked MULTIPLE times. I was left the responsibility to communicate the severity of her condition to my family. Because of covid, she wasn’t able to have more then 1 visitor at a time. prior to when my dad and I finally were allowed to came up, the nurse practitioner told me over the phone she and the attending would meet with us and have a goals of care discussion, they never showed up. They robbed us of the opportunity for my family to say goodbye peacefully. No one got to say goodbye, instead I was called in the middle of the night to rush to the hospital to watch her die I reported my concerns to the patient advocacy department, I had a meeting with Dr. Nates the medical director of the icu and told him everything in a detailed letter. I emailed him that letter because he asked for it and said he was going to email me back in 1 month telling me changes he implemented. It’s been 4 months and I’ve contacted the advocacy department again asking for a response and they never replied. They don’t care about families. I’ve worked in many ICUs in Texas and Colorado and THIS hospital needs some serious training on how to walk families through the inevitable.Katie

my husband entered more than a year ago during that time his treatment was excellent. there a syndrome was detected for which he was operated on everything was working perfectly until more than two months ago my husband's insurance communicated saying that there was a contract signed by my husband's company where they were covering 85% percent of his hospital stay that they had decided not to follow due to its high costs. The insurance tried to reach an agreement between the hospital and them, to which the answer was that we, as a hospital, do not have to accommodate any insurance; they are the ones who have to accommodate our policies. My husband has not been treated for three months since his oncologist, who was always good but never let his cases be taken elsewhere, we sent him a message if he could refer us to another oncologist, he replied, look for the one that best suits you. Now they only call us to ask when we are going to pay what we owe. With this, it is demonstrated that as a recognized hospital, they only care about your money before your well-being. If you do not have insurance that covers all the excessive costs, you are not a millionaire or you do not have someone to sign a contract to support you, do not waste your time there, you can die trying. they are more business than heartMateoAnimates

To the alumni that posted comments relative to smoking and ABET accreditation, I would like to share the following in my role as SET Dean: 1. We have become an almost no-tobacco usage campus. The many cigarette butts around our buildings prompted me to become one of the principal architects of the policy that has been in place for over a year. As with major shifts, culture change does take a little time! Having said that, I do not recall anybody complaining about the cigarette butts. 2. The Industrial Engineering, Electrical Engineering, and Computer Engineering programs have been accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET since 1983, 1986, and 2009 respectively. This information is publicly posted on our site and ABET's. Now that we have graduates from the Mechanical Engineering program, we will be submitting that for initial review in January 2018. As always, I welcome direct contact from our alumni, this is helpful in our quest for excellence!Winston Erevelles

I im currently enrolled in the Master of laws program in St. Marys Law School. I will rate one star because for me as an international student its a shame that i can not choose my own courses. They have to be approved by a guy named Robert Summers which his arbitriarism is out of the world. When i came to San Antonio looking to extend my knowledge in the american law i never imagine that i could not do so because i had to follow the preference of someone else. My goal was to specialice in Immigration which was not possible because this proffesor wanted me to take courses that i wouldn't like (TO FIT THE BAR EXAM EVEN IF YOU DONT WANT TO TAKE IT AT ALL) Im very dissapointed with St Mary's School of Law. INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS BEWARE!! PLEASE HAVE EVERYTHING ON THE TABLE BEFORE ENROLL.noticias em movimiento

I attended St. Mary's for 3 years and left with a Bachelor's of a Arts & a teaching credential. I found it to be an excellent school, as have many friends. A number of my former public school students went on to a graduate from St. Mary's. I was impressed by its emphasis on being a Catholic institution. That was very important to me.H. Daniel Kelly

There is literally not one part of this school that isn't actively trying to make everything horrible. They know they can't possibly be held responsible, so they don't care. Dealing with housing is like jumping through 100 hoops that are invisible and on fire. They don't tell you anything until the very last moment when it's too late. Registering for classes is just as hard. I was on track to graduate early and then they change the requirements which made multiple classes not count towards my degree and added new ones that aren't even available. The security is non-existent. The school is entirely aware of the dozens of bikes being stolen over the course of the past year. Still not a single camera watching any of the bike racks and they will fine you if you keep your bike inside. People try to open your door at any time. Whether it be 3am or 3pm. The dining hall is closed for every single break with no other options or awful ones. People live here, a lot without personal transportation. That's why the dining hall exists. They find every way imaginable to make more money off of their students. They will give you 3 parking tickets within 4 hours even with a parking pass, but they be soooo gracious enough to lower the fines after 3 weeks of pending the appeal. I've heard professors talking about how "stubborn" another professor is and how "they will use a textbook and curriculum until it's completely obsolete". They will give you 12 hours notice before you move dorms after telling you it'd be a month. They have partnerships with McGrawHill and probably every other online workbook which means students are forced to pay almost $200 for each class for a membership that teaches students absolutely nothing.Hayden Watts

I love how the school was near the water. It was quite redeeming. There are some fairly slow people that work at the school, but there are some really amazing people as well. I got my graduate degree from here and am so thankful for the time I spent here. I would go back, but I sure wouldn't live at Miramar Apartments. They were a nightmare.Derek Dorsett

Best property award 2020-2021. Customer service (maintenance technicians, office staff,programs, housekeeping, friendly environment, security, food/restaurants, facilities,walk/jog trail,great beach access,wind surfing, fishing,etc.) I'm currently employed full-time at this location. Top pick for graduates to continue education.Marco cumpian

Baylor is an amazing school. For a few reviews before me we are not all "rich kids wanting to blow daddy's money" or "rude". I personally have a bad background that would not match the first statement. I am not rich. I am blessed to be in this university thanks to scholarships and my hard working mother. Baylor itself is a blessing. Its a rigorous school BUT very well worth it. I love being part of the Baylor community. Its a beautiful campus filled with loving people. Its not "perfect" because nothing is. There will be a few issues like yes there are some kids who don't care and my be rude or blow things off but really if you are a part of it you will see the majority of the campus and the people here are more than amazing and loving. Please get to know something or somewhere before downgrading it. Baylor University is awesome. Sic 'Em Bears ! <3Anita Ruth

This is a fantastic university for the liberal arts. I have talked to people from other universities and to those that have come to visit me at college, and all of them see a difference in the student body. There is just a different atmosphere. All the people are kind and welcoming and always willing to help in times of need. The professors are nationally ranked and are not only outstanding in their fields of study, but wonderful people as well. Even if you're not looking to go to college, its a beautiful campus to just walk around in. It's almost like a park in some ways. Just give it a visit and I promise you'll be hooked! Sic 'em Bears!Christian Brandon

I loved my time as I attended Baylor for undergrad, and grad school (2008-2015). The campus has changed so much since i first step foot in 2008 (all for the better). Baylor (and Waco) is in a resurgence/growth period. Its an awesome time for Baylor and Waco. I loved my time there even though I'm not religious (agnostic/theist). Great people (students and especially faculty), and community. There was a reason why I came back to get my masters at Baylor. They helped me get through some rough times, and i am better for it now. Not sure i could say the same if i had gone somewhere else.Kevin Rushin

If I could put no stars I would. I have spent the last 3 years trying to get things done at this college. My son was taking courses and we were okay until the last year of his degree. He had one course that was a on-line course required for graduation. It is only offered once a year. He signed up for it and it didn't make. He had to call to find out about the course not making. They did not notify him. This was a required course for graduation that is only offered once a year and they didn't have it! This was the only course he needed to graduate! We had to write to the President of the College and while he offered apologies..the course did not come up again until the following year. We had to write again to get the course offered. After completing the course, we waited for a diploma. No diploma. We didn't apply for it in time. Apparently you have to apply in February for spring graduation. Applied for summer graduation. this is now November and we have not received the diploma. We kept calling to find out why and were constantly reassured that it was mis-delivered and we would get it. Today, he drove the 2 hour trip to Victoria and found that they had placed a hold on the diploma because of a fee they had never told him about. Even after the phone calls about not receiving the diploma…NO ONE checked to see why it had not been issued. No idea now when the diploma will come. But it has taken 2 years to get one on line course and almost 6 months to find out why his diploma has not arrived. Do yourself a favor and NEVER ATTEND THIS SCHOOL.Elsie Mae

**This is from my online experience NOT in person** Overall my experience here wasn't the best, but it wasn't as horrible as I had experienced with the previous university. For the MOST PART the professors I had were good, but they were either good professors or they were HORRIBLE, there was no in between. The reason I'm giving this three stars is because I'm having to drop out because I don't have 2 accounting classes, which means I have to be a transient at a different college for 1-2 semesters and pay out of pocket (which I can't do) all because of TWO classes. The reason is because they don't offer lower level classes here at all, but especially online where it's even more limited. I work full time so I can't attend school in person. But when I entered the Human Resources Management (HRM) program I was told that it was available fully online and that I would be able to complete the degree with all the classes I already had. This was a lie, which I find out when I only have 2 semesters left before I graduate. Now, I'm having to drop with only 2 semesters (nearly one year) left all because I was lied to about the program at the beginning before I applied. Everyone here (meaning financial aid, admin. people, etc.) were very nice, but they lied just to get me into the school. Overall, don't attend here unless you have every last one of your lower level classes completed or you'll end up like me over 2 accounting classes that you can't complete. Very frustrating.Rebecca Ethridge

I used to love this school. I decided to get my BBA from here and after doing so in 2018 I decided to go back for my MBA. Today would have been graduation day. It’s sad that this school did NOTHING to support the graduates of 2020. I understand COVID and how dangerous it is. However, there should have been an accommodation of some sort to show the graduates of 2020 your appreciation. Whether it had been a slide show on the school website, or a virtual graduation showing the graduates photos on television. It’s a shame after all the hard work that we’ve done, no one cares. They feel that it is okay to send us programs AFTER graduation day. I definitely will not recommend this school to anyone I know, just for the simple fact that I myself have to show my friends and family my accomplishment since the school failed to make us feel appreciated!!edricka burns

The University of Texas at Tyler (UT Tyler) is a public university in Tyler, Texas. Founded in 1971, it is a part of the University of Texas System. UT Tyler consists of five professional colleges and one traditional college of arts and sciences, offering over 90 academic degree programs at the bachelor, master, and doctoral levels. The University of Texas at Tyler is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. The university had a fall 2020 student body enrollment of 9,927 and a 19:1 student to faculty ratio. It has a park-like campus. UT Tyler is classified among "Doctoral/Professional Universities." The University of Texas Health Science Center at Tyler (UTHSCT), which merged with UT Tyler in 2021, has over $19 million in annual research expenditures. Universities that award at least 20 research/scholarship doctoral degrees and have at least $5 million in total research expenditures per year are in the "R1: Doctoral Universities – Very high research activity" or "R2: Doctoral Universities – High research activity" category, which suggests that a change in the Carnegie classification for UT Tyler may occur in the near future. UT Tyler has research as an integral part of its mission statement. The Permanent University Fund (PUF) is a sovereign wealth fund created by the State of Texas to fund public higher education within the state. A portion of the returns from the PUF are annually directed towards the Available University Fund (AUF), which distributes the funds according to provisions set forth by the 1876 Texas Constitution, subsequent constitutional amendments, and the board of regents of the University of Texas System and the Texas A&M University System. The PUF provides extra funds, above monies from tax revenues, to the UT System and the Texas A&M System which collectively have approximately 50 percent of state public university students. The PUF does not provide any funding to other public Universities in the State of Texas.Sayvers Educational Consults

Cons: this school loves to throw away money for stuff nobody asks for (concerts every Friday, a park that removed half the parking at this university, an ugly alumni house at the front of the university, etc). Meanwhile, their internet is God-awful, the library doesn't have books for specific classrooms ready to check out like other universities, they have no calculators ready to check out or laptops. Every computer in the entire school is extremely slow and sticky. The food provided at the MET is bad most of the time plus they close everything too early. The gym has an unnecessary amount of cardio machines that take up 1/3 of the gym. The people that run the intramural sports are very poorly-trained individuals that aren't consistent with the rules and will sometimes make stuff up. One time, I overheard the ladies that work with financial aid, cashiers, general questions, etc. giggling at the fact that they had somebody on hold for 50 minutes already and they were all snickering at each other to keep them on hold to see how long they go for. The mascot is kinda lame but that's just my personal opinion. At this point, I've realized I'm just ranting cause of the new construction there is going on and I couldn't find parking nearby cause of it and the wifi is acting up again. But really, this school does offer good stuff such as: Pros: The professors are amazing The students are amazing The school is growing The new parking garage is convenient. The environment feels safe. Believes in free speech. Many many other things can be listed. Overall, this school is alright. You'll get your education, which is what mostly matters in the end. It's just little things that are troublesome.Gilbert Cardenas

This school is alright. Most of the professors I have run into here want you to succeed and do a very fine job teaching. Which, I am a biology major so I cannot speak for all departments. My biggest complaint is the One Stop Services Center. Nobody can seem to keep their story straight and if you call in for help be prepared to wait at minimum thirty minutes before you actually get "helped". I use "helped" loosely because as stated earlier none of the employees behind the desk seem to be on the same page when it comes to offering help. I've received three very different answers from three different employees regarding the SAME issue. Also, parking is absolutely dreadful! If you don't have an 8am class good luck finding parking! I have spent thirty minutes circling the lots waiting to spot an opening and I have missed classes before due to there being inadequate parking.Cheyenne Dooly

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

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

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

Please read regarding the 46th ranked PCOM PA program! After attending PCOM PA program, I made it out by the skin of my teeth, literally!! I spoke with numerous PA colleagues from other programs and my experience was horrible compared to theirs. I applied to PCOM because I knew of the name PCOM hold but that really only applies to the DO program, the PA program is explained below. The PA program is run by people who could careless about you as a student. I say this factually because I have heard them talking about how they only care about their PANCE 1st time pass rate. What this means is they wouldn’t care if they lost over 75% of the class as long as those that finished passed the PANCE 1st time. Professor say differently but they don’t mean it in their actions. The averages on tests are low 80's, they provide NO CURVE or grade BOOSTERS and you need to keep a 3.0 to progress through program! Even the employees in the learning center, who offer tutoring and study techniques say that the PA program is not well managed is over kill and loses many students. For example in 1 term we have a 10 credit class but sit in class for 16-18 hrs a week for it. Then we have a 10% exam that covers 16 different ppt that are minimum of 60 slides each all taught and tested on under 14 days. Finals were comprehensive – 100Q test that covered 90 ppt all about 60 slides each. That is 5,400 slides of information! Again that is just one class and all the 2 credit classes are very similar. They have a Pathology class for the PA students but its not directed to PA, its the EXACT same lectures and tests the DO students get but PA students get 1/3 the time to learn and digest info. Each of those PPT range from 100-150 slides each. The best class though in the program is the Pharmacology. That professor actually seems like she cares about you as a student and writes straight forward Qs to test your knowledge. I get that PA school or any Masters program is challenging and should require a little more thinking and work. But at PCOM they teach you the same curriculum that the DO program gets but you have to do it in 1/3rd the time. They never test you on Keyword or Hallmark information that the PANCE tests you on. PCOM tests you on the pointless information that they find within the required reading of a 2000 pg textbook called Current medical diagnosis & treatment, which is a medical reference book not a textbook. To me I think they literally flip to a page and with eyes closed placed their finger on a spot and then write a Q based off the word their finger landed on. When it comes to the clinical rotations they have the most strict guidelines ever and rarely if ever give students their suggestions they would like! Out of my whole class, I think only 1 person got a rotation they suggested and there were about 60 students who have ability to submit. PS this is Pre Covid, I doubt they let anyone now post covid. I submitted 3 and got 0 I wanted, including my elective!!! Finally you have to do a RESEARCH PAPER in this program. The research professor is very belittling in how he talks to students. The research paper is a waste of time and pointless in teaching you how to be a PA. It solely is to make the PA program look good by them posting it on their webpages. They could make the class way more enjoyable and not full of busy work, but the rumor around the program is that the professors purposely want to take you to your breaking point not help you excel. I’m glad I barely made it through and ever have to deal with PCOM again, I'll never donate or be a rotation site for them! I hope by sharing my view of the school this makes people question even applying to PCOM. We need PAs out in the world, go to another school as being a PA is not about jumping through a million hoops and doing countless busy work assignments that PCOM mandates all while being continually put down and belittled by various professors in the way they talk to you.B J

I was recommended to see Dr. Todd Kelman by Dr. Robby Pullen to look at an x-ray taken of my right hand. He wants me to have an MRI to reach a better conclusion than the x-ray shows. We shall see what the final outcome will be. Today, I had an appointment to see Dr. Kelman for an injection on my right hand. Hopefully this will bring some relief. The swelling had decreased somewhat, and because of other medical issues, there is a limitation of methods to be employed. Arthritis is not only painful, but also a nuisance. I'll check with Dr. Kelman in a couple of weeks to see how everything is progressing.Harold Tucker

PCOM is super responsive. I left a message about changing pharmacies and expected to wait a while for a call back, but the delightful Fatima reached out to me within 5 minutes of my call and was already working on transferring my prescription. Office visits are great too. Everyone is super friendly. I knew I made the right choice when I chose PCOM.Melinda Banks

buses and parking are nightmares here. No parking or you will have to pay everytime you park including weekend whereas other schools often free. Buses always late and full. The school not even tried to get more buses. Also, there is 40mins wait between 2 buses. Finally, unequal opportunity for on cambus job or help. We came to many departments and asked for help but they rarely tried to solve but kept saying we could not do anything. And we came back multiple time and the other did help us out. So what is the point of saying we cannot do anything when another people in the department can? unequal training? Also, if you are looking for a job here, good luck!duc nguyen

I enjoyed my time at UNT, made some great friends, and I have good memories. However, this University is not longer a place of higher education but a political activist training ground. I never thought that I’d see the day that The First Amendment would not be honored at UNT, but that is what has happened. And to think I have a degree in Criminal Justice from there is similar to being trained as an EMT by Dr. Kevorkian. Awful….it’s too bad that I will not be able to hire any students (or UNTs “product”) from here as it’s just too risky. Same with giving to the Development office.Where's Waldo?

The Grad program is a joke. I've never met more people incompetent of doing their job. The undergrad school should conduct training with the grad school to get them up to par. Because they dropped the ball, I now get stuck with their issues. Also the elderly lady working in billing should take a phone etiquette class. We are in 2022. There shouldn't be this many issues consistently happening. Yet, the undergrad side was on top of every single aspect. How does one half do the absolute best, and the other completely flop.Ashlee Cacciatore

90% of the staff I encountered were truly incredible and helpful. I appreciate them all who were so caring and gentle and talked to me with clarity. My complaint is the way the hospital functions in general. Everything takes forever here. No pillows in ER, padlocks on equipment making it difficult to get up to go to the bathroom without pulling all the electrodes off because of padlocks. Or you could call for an overworked nurse who is always taking care of so many patients and wait indefinitely for them to come unhook you. I was in the hospital 3 days and asked for my meds I take at home and I’m not supposed to go cold Turkey off of them, without having severe side effects from withdrawals. I told every person I encountered that I needed my medicine and they finally brought them to me on the 3rd day right before I was being discharged. There’s many other things that they did at a snails pace that could’ve been done much faster creating a better and less stressful stay there. They had the wrong name on my file the whole time I was there and even tho I was ill, I was still trying to call all over the hospital to have it changed and couldn’t ever find a human who could do it. So, all my records from my visit there are connected to a different name. That’s crazy. But again, the nurses and PCAs were fantastic and I talked to some very engaging doctors that truly were trying to help me and explained things to me. I very much appreciate that.Amanda F

One of the worst hospital experiences I've ever had. I do not know how they got a 4.2 rating. It's really beyond me. I had the misfortune of staying here for over a week and I can't tell you how many times I had to call the hospital front desk just so I can get assistance on my floor, which I only did after waiting for them for 30 min. Even when I do get through to the call desk on my floor, a majority of the time they are super rude. Allot of the nurses are rude and don't want to do nothing. They mostly leave it up to the PCA nurses and you just have to hope to God that they are willing to do it w/o giving you attitude. There have been times where I've had to get my own water and figure out how to do things on my own, while being in tons of pain. Even the charge nurse saw me and didn't acknowledge the problem in the matter. Also, Just get ready to wait, it doesn't matter how much pain you're in, just be ready. Furthermore, the doctors are even worse, they will come to you and tell you one thing, making it seem like they understand you and really want to make sure that they give you the best course of care. But once they leave the room they throw all that out the window and do whatever. Just get ready to suffer. With all I've been through, I'm seriously considering suing cause this has been emotionally, mentally and, physically traumatizing experience. May God forgive them.Lola O

I had a procedure that required full anesthesia. My experience at St Luke’s Baylor was horrible! Especially the post recovery unit. I was informed that most people take about 30 to 45 min in the post anesthesia recovery and that the physician that performed the procedure comes by after to discuss with patient. I was awakened, told to dress then transferred to a wheelchair and left in the hall way for over an hour! While the nurse was rushing me out of bed I told her I needed to use the restroom . She said no you don’t it’s just gas and ignored me and left me in hallway and went to lunch! I waited there for almost one hour and still no physician! I kept asking other staff when I should expect him and they kept saying, any minute! My ride was told to pull car around over an hour ago I said and I felt bad for making her wait so I said please just let me leave that I could no longer wait! Basically I felt super rushed and super dizzy sitting alone extremely uncomfortable in a wheelchair unattended for over an hour!!!! Never get a procedure with this location!

I am an international student came here to study masters in technology management program. Firstly the program " Masters in Technology Management" doesn't have anything tech in the course. Most of the syllabus revolves around drones, project management and leadership. The program doesn't have any internship or CPT which is a huge disadvantage. There are no scholarships available for this course. This is more like a mini PHD where in you have to do so much research on several topics which are absolutely waste and have no relevance in the practical world. Neither is this degree valued for getting a job. The professors are only bothered about having research in APA format and doing coursework like a research with no relevance to the practical corporate world. As an international student, i took this course with a hope to get some practical exposure like internship and getting placed in a technology company. But i have wasted all my TIME, MONEY and EFFORT on this useless course. The professors are very much involved in their research work and least interested in teaching or helping students be prepared for corporate world.neelu B

The university is great small classes, great environment and accessible online school. The staff on the other hand is terrible. I emailed my advisor in regards to some credits missing on my transcript and its been 2 months and still haven't heard from her. I called her, left her some voicemails and still no answer. I took 3 online classes and it would take days sometimes week for the professors to respond. I chose to stay because I'm already enrolled but would not recommend it to other students. You will get frustrated with the school system and organization. (10/19/2017).Tomas “Tommito21” D.L.T.

I absolutely love this school ! I recently transferred her from a community college and I couldn't be happier. The professors really focus on the students they are all looking for you to succeed. They're are also tons of student organizations, events, and guest speakers plus a ton more benefits like a fitness center with a pool, a track, a rock climbing wall and a bunch more, they're is also free counseling and free health care (well it's part of tuition ) but it's amazing. I highly recommend checking out this school.Sierra Tripp

As a fairly recent former student, I can say that AC provides very little opportunity. I left AC after I landed on medical leave, and eventually I decided not to go back. I spent some time at my local jr college while working through my health, and the academics were far superior, the teachers had more experience and it provided me with far more opportunities than AC ever did/would've. Seriously, TCC was harder than Austin College, and after one summer course there I had a halfway decent job in my field of study. The freshmen C/I classes at AC are pointless. The "boardroom setting" offers no value. In depth discussions about the use of the word "blobs" in a short story will not prepare you for the professional world nor will lectures supporting the homosexual beastiality fetish shared between Scooby and Shaggy. The small class sizes lead to several problems, a major one being favoritism. The staff is very unprofessional and unreliable. As far as student life… the Greek system is local. The student body is eclectic, but everyone mostly stays sequestered within their own little groups and it kind of has the vibe of a really snooty private high school — split down the middle between rich kids with unimpressive academic records vs genius level scholarship students. They don't offer athletic scholarships, so their athletes are given "academic scholarships" and this has created an infestation of mediocre students that cost the school money. A lot of the kids have learning disabilities and/or social/mental problems. One girl asked me how to spell "easier" and another (that I had only known for a few days) went into full detail about her depression and suicide attempt. I told my RA about this out of concern and she implied that these types of encounters are not uncommon. The student center is tiny and there's really nothing to do in there except play pool or darts. The cafeteria food is shoddily prepared, and the campus is located in a residential area, so to go out to eat or hit the grocery store, you have to have a car. It's a very claustrophobic and unclean environment. We (the students) got sick a lot. My friends and I were stranded twice by that bus thing when it never returned to pick us up and take us back to campus. Yeah, not the best student life really and the professors are pretty inconsistent when it comes to giving help and being available… and sometimes downright spiteful towards their students. AC was very frustrating. It doesn't have the best student life and the professors are extremely inconsistent when it comes to giving help and being available. I had an awful experience with a media professor who was downright spiteful, sent long e-mails with abrasive language while refusing to meet with me in person and didn't read the rough draft of my final paper, just gave it a 100, and this led to issues with the final that highly affected my grade. It's not a terrible place for pre-med students, at least as far as straight up academics, but most (and most of the students overall) really hated it there. All the things AC claims as its advantages are actually extremely destructive. Go to Southwestern or Baylor instead.Amanda Norman

contrary to positive reviews from alumni claiming I never attended college here, I did. This is a terrible college. It's not even accredited from the state of Texas what I can tell. I graduated from this school in 2009. This place is a ripoff that claims it teaches you something by asking you to learn… Except you pay them to teach. They often destroy students futures. attending school here opened no 'doors' for me, in fact it closed many for me. since starting college here, people have refused to interview me for jobs on the grounds that I don't have a 4 year degree when I do. There's no campus security (2 meter maids are the entire acpd), the food in the cafeteria will give you dysentery and is often rotten, the career services office is completely unhelpful and spent a lot of their time insulting me and yelling in my face, and the student body is rude unkind and down right threatening. I was assaulted on campus my freshman year, and the school didn't even do anything about it, in fact the Vice President of Student life (Tim Millerick) did a lot to obfuscate justice and prevent sherman texas police from getting involved. I have since started attending community college in Dallas Texas and at UT arlington and have received a far better education there for much less money! Seriously, Austin College cost me $117k over 4 years and ruined my life! don't go to school here! Since graduation I have received threatening phone calls from Tim millerick every couple of months, and I have repeatedly called the police in regards to this. 9 years of death threats over the phone is inappropriate, unethical, and illegal. The school should fire him.Preston “289pettit” Pettit

Austin College has never been anything, but a positive experience for me. As a sophomore, I’ve fallen in love with the academic opportunities on this campus. The class work may be challenging, but AC never leaves you without a support system. With small classroom settings, professors are available to help with lessons or assignments all throughout class. Office hours are always available for outside help and there are even of free tutoring opportunities. As far as extra curricular activities, there are tons of them! Between Greek Life, personal expression clubs, language clubs and service groups… no interest goes unmet. If Greek life or clubs aren’t your thing, CAB (Campus Activity Board) makes sure there are events almost every night for students to take a break and relax with. Campus life is great, but to help prepare us for graduate life as well, Career Services strives to get every student career-ready. They offer Career-Readiness Checks, mock interviews, internship opportunities, resume critiques and more to ensure that every student feels prepared for the real world after graduating. Opportunities are endless here. I’m confident that by the time I leave Austin College, I will be better because of it.Pluto Princess

I would not recommend this university to any of my friends or family, if zero stars were an option this is what they would receive, yes they did expand the university but made things worse. Graduation ceremonies are held opposite of their campus area, for instance if you are attending the Brownsville campus, your graduation ceremony will be held in Edinburg and vice versa. The cost of attending has sky rocketed. A couple of my friends who earned a double major had to fight tooth and nail for their respective degree majors'. To make things worse their parking is atrocious, even to get a visitor pass, you must pay!? What. The. Hell. Man! Lastly, they care nothing for their veterans – this university only works if you either know or are related to the person who is offering the job, if I'm being honest, our military veterans sacrificed more than any regular civilian ever would and therefore should be consider first and foremost amongst people who are not veterans. Take my advice, veterans, do yourself a favor, have Uncle Sam help pay your school elsewhere.LÖRD GAMBINI

Very little effort put in by the staff to do anything more than waste their students' time and money. Impossible to get hold of any of the advisory staff when it comes to things like tuition, curriculum, or international student programs. My SO has been going to this college on an education visa for years (more than she should have needed to to begin with) and sank a lot of money into getting a proper education, and the lack of effort to facilitate this for both her and other students- domestic or foreign- deeply disturbs me. It's been nothing but a constant source of stress and a constant hemorrhage in her wallet. Apparently this school is on probation for their overt lack of quality/effort but because members of the school body have good connections it's been kept open. School board really needs to dig their claws into this place and start making some major, sincere changes.Dag Von Danger

You get what you pay for. They offer some of the lowest tuition rates in the state, but that's the only upside. Facilities are poor, parking is rarely available, and there is a severe lack of course availability. Communication has been very poor, and we've struggled to get information from the college nor any assistance with enrollment. I had to make a complaint with the President's office just to get the help I needed. Plus, their employees are rather nasty and sociopathic. They have little-to-no concern for their students, and they're not afraid to show it. There is a lot of room for improvement here. Plus, I don't like how they are using student tuition money to recruit new students from Mexico, as well as undocumented aliens. Worry about your own students first.G68

I really enjoyed the MA program and I learned so much. Something that I really appreciated about the school is that we had ALL the resources we need for certification studying–and all of the professors are extremely knowledgeable about their fields and gave plenty of tips and tricks for how to maximize your potential in the field. The biggest reason I'm sticking to four stars is that I had a pretty bad experience with one of my professors and I don't agree with some of the attendance procedures–having no absences excused unless the school cancels classes isn't reflective of an individual student's situation (I know this first-hand), but all-in-all, it's a nine month program, and the amount you learn and experience completely outweighs the poor aspects.Kendall Eley

I can only speak about my experiences here at Pima but I can honestly say it’s been life changing for me. I’ve completed my Registered Dental assistant program and I’m currently half way through my Radiology program and all I can say is that I’ve had nothing but good instructors in both programs. They really push you towards succeeding and the classes are well developed for you to learn. The prices are a little over the top but seeing how it’s a institute it’s expected. Overall I’ve really appreciated everything Pima has done for me, I really recommend it to anybody who wants to kickstart their medical career!Isaac Razo

I am currently on the MA program, and it has been a pretty good experience. I am able to have time to study and also work and balance everything else with it. The team of this school is very professional and really care about their students, they are always willing to help you if you need help from them. I really like that they even have tutoring to help you if you struggling in a class. The career services team is an amazing team who works with you to find the right fit for you to do your externship, so you can be successful on this new path that you have chosen.Massiel Martinez

We have delivered two babies at Houston Methodist, and we could not imagine going anywhere else to have a child. The professionalism, expertise, and overall great attitudes demonstrated by the staff here is second to none. Our L&D nurses and techs were all amazing and every single one of them went that extra mile for us to make us feel more at ease and comfortable throughout our time here. They paid attention to the details and treated us like we were part of their family. The NICU nurses showed their dedication and compassion for my son and all of their patients. I never felt worried when I would have to leave my son solely in their care because I knew they had everything under control. Every single doctor my family had shined and really showed their level of dedication they have to their craft. They never spoke down to us or hid anything from us, and they were honest, personable, and compassionate in every interaction we had with them. Even the staff we encountered in the cafeteria, health and nutrition, housekeeping, and administration all treated us we the greatest attitude. You could tell that throughout the hospital the staff had great relationships with their patients, visitors, and with each other. I don’t think you could ask for much more than that from a hospital staff. I will always be grateful for this experience they helped provide and will forever feel comfortable bringing my family here, if needed. Thank you to the staff of Houston Methodist.Macon Fife

This place is horrible. Dr. Boom needs to bring in a new staff. The people he has working under him start from the environmental director. The people from H.R. This place loves cover-up things. My Patient Right, we're violated by a Psycho staff member. I called to report it back in August. I was told by the assistant director from environmental service that she will be getting back to me about this issue. It's 9/28/22. I'm still waiting. What really got me? I explained to her what happened; she tells me well, "What do you want me to do about it?" I even emailed her boss; he never replied back. I've called H.R. Many times, left messages . I spoke to the head person of H.R. it was a waste of time as well. This place is sick. I'm sure I will get a reply back after they see this review. I think I need to contact the news people 🤔 l need to let them know about this hospital who really don't have ICARE Value.tara gordon

This Hospital required me to leave the room at 8:00 pm where my daughter has been in induced labor since last night. They allowed her husband to stay with her but I am sitting in a cold waiting room at 11:00 pm instead of being with my only daughter while she is in labor with her fifth child. I don't want to leave her here as anything could happen with her and the baby. In the room was a nice comfortable recliner and a sofa where I could have rested after driving more than 200 miles to be here with her. I don't call this hospitality or family friendly. On the other hand I thought the staff was very professional and courteous and helpful in every way.Kathy Reneau Gomez

Do what I did and put your beat step forward towards a career contact them today.Vonni Bonni

Great school. Great teachers. The job placement staff is wonderful. BUT the school is a little misleading because when you earn your certification, you will not yet be qualified for the jobs you really want because you will have to get even more certifications. Not to mention most of the jobs want people with a few years experience to start there. So if you are willing to keep going and earning all your certifications and degrees, by all means, go here!OneCoolOne

I’ve been attending this school for about 2 months, and I have nothing but good reviews about it. All my teachers so far have been great and patient with their students and it’s been easier to learn the material. Ms.Roberts has been an amazing teacher, she is very detailed in her teaching making things a lot easier to understand. She is very patient and has the best attitude and loves to make her students smile. I truly recommend this school.yenifer canul
