8 Best Radiology Programs In Springfield, MA (2022 Updated)

I took the CNA ‘Plus’ programme there back in October 2021. For $2395 we never got a clinical! And the facilities and equipment provided were unbelievable! One mannequin with its leg falling out and not even a proper night gown to keep it from being exposed! Sheets were dirty! Equipment faulty, and now we are STILL waiting to take our state licensure exams! If you’re taking the CNA programme, do not take the “plus part” it is a waste of money and time. The instructor is very compassionate and hardworking and honestly the reason why I kept on going. Otherwise, it’s just a money grabAaliyah Davis

State Street U is amazing. I attended 22 years ago and stopped by for the first time since then and I was amazed to find, updated buildings, a beautiful store, and a whole new feel. The professors and professionals were mostly great when I was there and though I don't attend, I had a chance to talk to administrators and they are still amazing. It is a fantastic education at a great price. If you are looking for a great community college, look no further than STCC. I'm proud my children and family are attending to make their lives better.Paul Goodchild Ph.D., CPA

Great school with the absolute best teachers. Mr. Crowley, my English teacher, was really amazing and reignited my love for writing. It also offers great programs, like the student ambassador program, that really lets you get more involved in the school activities, and allows you to make the most of your experience at STCC.Rebecca Lasky

I graduated from Our Lady of the Elms in 1964, one of 4 Chemistry majors. Afterwards, I worked for the FDA in New York City, the Chemical Abstracts Service in Columbus, OH, and, in 1968, joined the Papal Volunteers for Latin America. I underwent training at the Catholic University of America in Washington, D.C., and at the Catholic University of Puerto Rico in Ponce. In December, 1968, I arrived in Lima, Peru, where I was assigned to research enzymes in fish meal protein at the Catholic University of Peru. Shortly afterwards, I adopted a tiny baby girl, who is a graduate of the University of St. Thomas, in Houston, TX. I've also lived in Belize, became a technical translator and editor, and ran 2 corporate libraries in Houston. In 1989, I earned a TX teaching certificate in Composite Science, and , in 2001, an MEd in Science Curriculum and Instruction. These are just a few of my accomplishments, and I credit my fantastic education and dedicated faculty at the Elms for my successes. Now, at the age of 73, I am a 50-year member of the American Chemical Society, tutor for Houston Community College, as well as privately, and drive the Houston freeways, I've encountered may challenges along the way, but I'm well prepared.Ann Kelley

I transferred to Elms from HCC and was pleasantly surprised by my experience there. I loved that the campus was small and I loved that because of that, each student got more one on one help. The dining hall is beautiful and new, the library is comfortable and the people there are helpful, and the professors are all amazing at what they do. I wish I could have stayed there to continue my education!Rhea Huggins

I think this college is amazing and the most welcoming I am a temp and ever since I started working at elms I have felt nothing but warm welcoming I love the staff they are so bubbly and definitely have great personalities.Michelle Robinson

I’d highly recommend Rayus! I went here because I have claustrophobia and they have an open MRI machine. I was having some pretty strong anxiety, and the man who was giving me the MRI had the best bed side manner that really helped me throughout the process. He was very kind and patient. Someone else who worked there even offered to come in with me! Above and beyond. Wish I knew the name of the man who worked me so I could give a shout out. Highly appreciated!Christine

CDI has a great MRI unit, I have bad claustrophobia in these things and this one wasn't bad at all. Everyone was friendly and easy to deal with. Will definitely go back again if I need another MRI !! Hopefully not too soon… 😊Michael

I have developed a claustrophobic reaction to average (tube type) MRI's. There open MRI machine help with that condition. The MRI nurse/opererators demeanor really helped with my issue.Chris Redfern

Holyoke Community College is not the ideal college for students with Learning Disabilities. The Disability office fails students with learning disabilities and suggests classes that are not the right fit for the students learning style and when they issues getting the book ECT the office for students with disabilities blames the student for it when it's on the office of students disabilities is at fault. Holyoke community college makes a big deal on how great the office with students with disabilities is and the truth is it is a horrible experience for students with learning disabilities. Holyoke community doesn't follow up with professors to make sure they are following the students accommodation agreements from the office with students with disabilities instead they side with the professor that is not following the students accommodation agreement which is against the Law. Holyoke Community College also makes the student pay money for classes that HCC placed them in. They should not make students with learning disabilities Pay for a class that they messed up with placing the student in. The head of the office with students with disabilities acts like she has an attitude like the student is bothering her and sends angry and nasty tone emails to the student who she is suppose to help support. Holyoke Community College office for students with disabilities is a joke and needs to be restaffed with people who.csre about students with learning disabilities. If you have a learning disability I recommend applying to Westfield State University for better college experience and kind support. HCC office or students with disabilities staff also gossips with teachers from high schools about students too. This why HCC is very poor . Don't waste the moment here. HCC office with students with disabilities is a Joke don't count on them for support . They will jus tblame you for things you had no control over. And they side with some high school teachers who also mis treat students with learning disabilities. The best support system I had at HCC was Ken White who was the dean of community service s he supported me from day one not like the office of student with disabilities.ED Clancy the English 095-101. Professor also supported me at HCC and he understood me better then Nancy at the office with students of disabilities. Ed Clancy is amazing Professor and should be recognized. And Ken White should have run the office for students with disabilities.Meg Ahearn

Personally I wish this school could get me a bachelors. I spent 3 years here and loved every minute of it. Only had one pror two problems with professors but good ones out weighed the bad. Great to start if you're not sure what you want to study at first. Disabilities office was very helpful as I have dyslexia/learning disabilities, they were always offering ways to help me get my accommodations for professors. I believe those who leave 1 star reviews are mostly students upset their parents didn't want to waste $30,000+ on an education they'll probably just either party away or drop out of in a semester. I believe HCC gets you ready for the real world and those who are not aware of that definitely aren't ready for the real world. Overall HCC is a place where you get what you put into it. If you want to push yourself, talk to professors, take harder classes. If you are finding that a class is tough, most professors are willing to work with you to help you pass your classes. What's great about HCC is that there really is a space for everyone and felt safe, if you are ever uncomfortable in a situation, administration is always willing to walk with you to your car or bus and be on the down low on the issue if you need to talk to higher administration about such issues. As someone who took advantage of a lot of the programs there, I still wish I had taken advantage of a lot more. But I had a great time there and truely wish the best for future graduates.

There are so many issues with HCC I don't know where to start. First of all why is all the food so unhealthy? I know there is no cafeteria, but the school could at least invest in some healthy meals for people. Also why are the professors so rude. All the professors I have had tell me how I'm always wrong, and then go on to explain how there knowledge is superior. I think most people that go to school here do not enjoy it at all. The floors, classrooms, and bathrooms are filthy most days since there is so little cleaning that is done here. There is very little student life or activities at this school. Most students go to class, and go home, or go to work. A lot of the classes at this school are not reality based, there based on what the government wants students to know. In my personal opinion this school worsens people's emotional and mental well being. I just don't get how a school could be allowed to operate in this fashion, plus cost thousands of dollars a year to go to. If you want to sit in plastic and metal chairs all day, and listen to someone tell you that they are smarter than you than this might be the school for you. If you want to be treated properly by people and be respected then this place probably is not in your best interest.Jessie Robinson

In my experience, many of the staff are very rude, does not provide good and timely response, let alone horrible customer service. Let’s talk about the lack of quality work and the lack of academic advising performance. There isn’t any quality in that area at all, no “attention to detail” No one Seems have a clue or worse, they don’t focus on the older online students. The main focus is on the young students, and no one else seems to matter. For the amount of money we pay to attend this private school the service they provide does match our money at all. Let’s talk about some of the Professors. They might have PhD’s but they certainty behave themselves as not having no education at all in the way they communicate with students. Rude, unprofessional. For many of them it’s just a title and nothing more. Students surveys really need to be considered to possibly improve in certain areas that continues to lack in professionalism and “attention to detail.” Please start with the academic advising for the online students. Certainly needs plenty of improvement.Angel Santiago

This review is solely based on the library, which is open 24 hours of the day. The library comes with a Starbucks, and four floors providing ample amount of seating. The furniture is quite nice, and relatively comfortable. There are a great deal of computers to be used by students, and it comes with a gender inclusive bathroom on each level. All in all it provides a nice environment for study.The Illusive Man

Tuition is 50k and what do the students get. Terrible food, awful dorms, and nonexistant wifi. Cant get anything done. Just a cash grab school. Doesn’t really put the money toward the students, or anything useful.Unhappy Student

I have a mental health condition that makes me very paranoid, terrified, and stay in with no contact with the outside world for lengths of time. For me, every day is hard to wake up. I have a hard time understanding things. They found something on my mammogram on Friday. I waited in the diagnostic center for a very long time. They were very nice, comforting when I asked why it was taking so long. Eventually they brought me in and took the extra images they needed. They took time explaining everything although I still have questions, they did a good job explaining things it’s my fault I don’t understand the explanation completely. I highly recommend this office because the people are so nice. I am grateful they were so understanding and kind. The Dr. Deb was very nice as was the tech and everyone who I met with.Fuzzy Friends Rescue Volunteer

Baystate is really doing too much. I understand the reason for the mask but when you make people take off their mask and they have to take one of baystate mask out of a open box that everyone is breathing on, I really don't understand that method. Make it make sense Baystate because it do not. You should have provided individual pre-packaged face mask. Now that makes a lot sense Baystate. Acting like you guys are so concerned but failed to make it rightL J

I wish wellness to all. But my experience was extremely frustrating and in the end, I cancelled the whole enterprise. Promised that I would be treated under one roof, in fact, where I was being sent was in CT, and all over MA. I explained to 4 different assistants the situation, was always told a nurse practitioner would call me, but it never happened. Hope I never have to deal with them, they seemed very disorganized, or overwhelmed. Dunno.MK Duffy

I had my first ever mammogram at the Baystate Radiology & Imaging Center in Northampton. Thanks to the TOP-NOTCH lead technician, Kris Hedblom, it was a breeze! She was outstanding! Her expertise, with 35 years of experience, put my anxiousness to rest. She was very professional 'and' caring… the caring part is what makes the difference- anyone can be professional but not everyone is caring, thoughtful and patient. I literally thanked God for her when I left the appointment. 🙂Heather T.
