20 Best Rn Programs In Cleveland, OH (2022 Updated)

Ursuline College states the college has the highest academic and graduation rate in their nursing program. Ursuline College is not the only nursing program where students are learning their curriculum on becoming a successful nurse. I've known previous and current students who have graduated from other schools that offered the nursing program for an Associates or a Bachelors degree, and have moved on to successful careers at major hospitals in the greater Cleveland area. My experience here in my first semester has been a disaster. On my very first day, I attended a class called First Year Semester, and I had to drop out of it because during a group session with Dr. Johnson who literally accosted and debased me right in the front of the class, all because I expressed my opinion on the challenges of being flexible when you're working and collaborating with your peers. That has left a very bad taste in my mouth. I am eager to step away from this college, so I can resume my studies elsewhere. Finally, Ursuline College is no better than the average college in the great Cleveland area.Bella Rose

Beautifully landscaped in suburban Cleveland, this Catholic college offers degrees with a distinguished reputation. Recommend the dorms be renovated; however, all other buildings on the college campus are utilized efficiently or re-purposed. The Ursuline Sisters of Cleveland reside on the grounds in their Mother House. A tour is a must to really appreciate this collegiate gem in the realm of women's higher education.Krista Thomas

Love the professors and the classes are interesting and engaging, the staff is beyond nice and even the strangers too! However, some of the girls there are catty which really clouds the great experience of this fine establishment, such a shame but nonetheless there is potential for success here!Lexi Jackson

I am an alumni. B.S. Chemical Engineering 2008, M.S. Biomedical Engineering 2012. I chose CSU as my undergrad school over Case Western because Case is ridiculously expensive and I received a full scholarship to CSU. My mother told me I could choose whatever school I wanted but if I passed the scholarship up for 40k+ a year in debt she would kill me. Thanks mom, you were right as always! The Chemical and Biomedical Engineering departments are outstanding. Great faculty, small class sizes, professors that legitimately care about the students but also won't put up with BS from students that aren't taking their own (or their classmates') education seriously. The head of the BME department at the time had a major impact on my life. He personally took interest in helping me get a full scholarship during the second year of my M.S. (Choose Ohio First scholarship), helped me land a Teaching Assistant position AND a fantastic internship. THANK YOU! CSU is not perfect though. I had some bad professors (and also excellent ones) in the math and physics departments. That is hard to avoid at any school. Many of the school departments are much, much bigger than mine so you may lose some of the personal interest from professors when your graduating undergrad class is more than 12 like mine. I tried to make use of the career center multiple times but they were not helpful in job searching. Also the Fenn College of Engineering (now the Washkewicz College of Engineering) building is woefully old and dated. It's so bad that in my second year in 2006 a metal fence had to be put about 10 – 15 feet in front of the building facade so no one would be injured by the crumbling concrete. I wish I was joking. The engineering labs were also filled with old equipment, the classrooms were missing technology that is standard in other schools like projectors. Note that this was all before the very generous donation from Mr. Washkewicz so I hope things have improved. The only other complaint I have is that my graduation requirements changed a couple times during my B.S. and I had a VERY difficult time finding out if I was on track for graduation. In fact I wasn't sure that I was going to graduate until I got confirmation about a month before graduation! Even with these complaints I had a great experience at CSU, which is why I went back for my M.S. after briefly considering Ohio State University. It was my professors and department that made the decision easy, they had a great positive effect on my life and I owe a lot to them.Jim

I'm a business student currently in my third year at CSU (transferred from Kent State) and have nothing but good things to say about this school. The campus is beautiful and right in the center of Downtown, giving you easy access to tons of interesting things to do in Cleveland. The general vibe of the campus is very laid back and friendly, and despite what other reviews seem to say, this is a very liberal/progressive and diverse school with many students of all walks of life. I feel I have received a perfectly adequate education at CSU, as someone who cares mainly about getting ready for a career and moving into the business world. There are good professors and bad ones, but the majority of them have been very likeable and knowledgeable. Many of my business professors have lots of real world experience and many years working in their field. I cannot comment on the other departments, but the business school is excellent and has many career services available to students. As a commuter student I love the RTA pass they provide, so I don't have to worry about driving and parking downtown (yes, their parking situation is pretty terrible here). Finally I'd like to say shame on the idiots who are giving my school 1-star reviews because of a faux pas made by the administration. The first amendment comment was misinformed, but it's far from supporting the offensive poster. Anyone trying to paint CSU as anti-LGBTQ because of that poster debacle is ignorant.Steven Barnes

I love Cleveland State. I am a biology pre-med major and the department is great. However, if you live in the dorms, don't plan on getting your mail anytime soon. It takes at least 10 days added on to the normal mail time to receive any type of letter or package. I ended up just getting a P.O. box at a local post office. The education and clubs are great. There are so many great opportunities here to take advantage of. I would definitely recommend this school to anyone who wants to live in the city and get a great education.Madison Chapanar

BW provides a well rounded education. With that being said, your program of study will most likely consist of general education courses. BW degree programs usually do not provide a focused study on your major. Instead, the focus is liberal arts. I attended BW for a short time and majored in Criminal Justice. During that time I discovered that most of the classes for my major had little to nothing to do with Criminal Justice. They were mostly liberal arts courses. This is true of many other degree programs. No matter what your major, you will only take a few classes that are actually relevant to your major. In summary, if you enjoy a small campus atmosphere, if you are satisfied with a degree that does not provide a focused study on your major, if you want some prestige on your degree, and if you are willing to spend $900 per credit, then Baldwin Wallace is certainly the place for you.Tracer Films

It's a good school and the campus is really nice. Best thing is probably the professors. I loved 95% of my professors. Worst part of the school is the surrounding area. It's pretty boring, but then again, that's not why you're going. Also, the weather sucks, but for a smaller school it has a lot to offer in the way of activities.Cortney Zeiler

My daughter went to BW and we couldn't have asked for a better college. You are not just a number, the staff is very helpful and caring. My daughter had lots of great internship opportunities, travel opportunities and still has a close relationship with professors and the school. Great experience!Debbie Bryant

From the outside Ignatius appears to be a prestigious school, everything about it is well kept and the students and teachers are amazing. So here’s my recommendation for you combine with some of ignatius’ own students and me translating in a more gentle way their opinions . Do not waste your time in the Walton center off the the right of the library unless you want to have time wasted and nothing completed, instead i recommend a school counselor, teacher, or fellow peer. Because in the nicest way possible the Walton center is entirely a waste of resources and funding. One of those things that is gleaming on paper but seriously a waste of god given talent. Mr. Mackey is a great guy who’s talent shouldn’t be used attempting to help students on high school work he doesn’t even understand. I expect so much better from a Name like Saint Ignatius, and i’m sorry it’s been pushed to this point but someone has to speak on behalf of the students, the children.Joseph carlsonne

I wouldn't be in the position that I'm in today if it wasn't for this school. Absolutely outstanding academics and extracurriculars. This is more than a college prep school, it's a brotherhood. Side note: ignore any 1 star ratings on here – they must be jealous for having gone to that school over in Lakewood.Nick Novak

Very disappointing to see a school that strives on education and following rules has a group of teachers that do the exact opposite.the arrogance of these teachers walking in front of moving cars and the students following by example. There were lights put up for a reason. So disappointing.Dmz79

My girlfriend took a class there right as the pandemic started and the people there was just so nice to her and even tho there was delays and such they treated her nicely and helped her get through. So she's happy and therefore I'm happy.Oscar Vaughn

Staff is always so helpful with whatever you need. I just registered for their RN program and have taken the LPN program 6 years ago. I would recommend to most people depending on what you're going for.Ashley Christner

Went for my STNA in January of 2014 the class was amazing! The teacher was very informative and made this easy to accomplish I'm definitely happy with my decision to go to ETI Technical College ❤️Lassie Welker

Hello everyone, I have recently been excepted into the 175th class that begins April 2019. I wanted to give a little insight on my experience so far. I surfed the internet for reviews and comments about CSPN, to my surprise I didn't find many if any useful reviews, which I would say is a good thing. Most people only review there bad experiences, so I would like to give my honest review on my experience thus far. First I searched around for different LPN programs, there's only a handful out there. Then I reviewed CSPN website and gathered all the information that was provided and came up with a couple of questions to call and ask the school about. I spoke with Amy who is the admissions coordinator. She was so polite and helpful, and she remembered my name and addressed me as such the whole time I interacted with her. After making sure I met the requirements for enrollment which was outlined on there website in great detail, I located all the information that I would need to process my application. Then I reviewed the information on the entrance exam, I set aside roughly a month to study because I was a little hesitant on what would truly be on the exam. i did call and spoke with Amy again to ask a couple of questions about the entrance exam and she was very helpful with my questions and made sure I understood everything. I can say CSPN did provide a great deal of information to prepare for the exam. I scheduled my entrance exam from there website and paid online as well. This process was very easy. I received a text message reminding me of my exam as well. On exam day I was very excited and eager to take the exam. The exam was provided in paper format which I was so happy about. I'm not a computer exam type of person. To my shock and surprise the exam was exactly what CSPN said it would be, don't over think the information provided, don't distrust what was stated that would be on the exam. The exam is exactly the information stated by CSPN to study. After everyone was done completing the exam your scores was provided to you the same day, so no waiting at all. The next step is to attend an information session, which will go over all your financial aid information and give you time to ask any questions. After submitting my application and providing all the information requested, within a week or so I received my acceptance letter. I was over the moon. So far I have had a wonderful experience with CSPN admissions process and I look forward to every aspect and encounter being exactly the same. I will post another review after my new student orientation. I hope this review was helpful to anyone thinking of attending CSPN.FS Connell

One of the worst schools I ever went too. They were very downgrading. They would alway remind us to look around the class room because l lot of us weren't going to make it to the end of the program, every chance that they could get! Im talking about second week in to the program ! The Executive Director Michelle Altshuler was very prejudice towards us the African-American students. She would say things like " Were not on the streets anymore, we’re in a class room ". Let me remind you this is a private school and they hand pick each student individually. Again I’m talking about the second or third week into the program all the African-American students got escorted out of the school by the executive director Michelle Altshuler and a police officer but the caucasian student were just asked to leave for the day (nicely) they didn’t get escorted out. They were also allowed to stay in the class room to study while us the black students were scream at the get out the class room and find somewhere else to study. This happened before we got escorted out . All Because a caucasian students felt that she getting bullied, and don't get my wrong I’m a grown adult I don’t promote bulling. Ive witness what bullying can do to the person every day on social media, but in this scenario that was not the case. This student was an attention seeker and just wanted to be seen. Every day after that we the students face a new Challenge every day when we walked through those classroom doors. The way they talked to us was just crazy ! I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS SCHOOL TO ANYONE. They treated us horribly and we didn't even attend the program a whole month before all this started. I m convinced that they take down all the bad reviews because I have yet to see a bad review, but had people come up to me and say that is was a bad school after expressing the situation to them.keeping up with chanel

I am almost done with the first level, and i honestly have to say out of all the schools I’ve dealt with previously, this one is by far the best. If you are the type of person who genuinely is passionate to become a nurse, then you will absolutely benefit from this facility and the ladies who i have had the pleasure of calling my instructors thus far. There are some minor things that im sure many people would not like, but like i said if you are in this for the right reasons then you know it is done with good purpose and preparation in mind to send out nurses that will continue to do right by their reputation. They have a very big holistic/health based foundation to their classes and methods which i love, and communication is open, they go out of their way to make sure everyone succeeds and understands the material. If you come into this with the intention on putting studying on the back burner, or doing the bare minimum then expect to struggle, it is a 12 month course and alot of material. As long as you prioritize accordingly (especially with home life, children, etc) you will be successful. You have to invest in yourself and education the way you are into the school upon enrollment. This time will fly by, and as long as you treat your education as the ground works to your future, and the standards of the future care of your patients, then not only will you enjoy the school, you’ll enjoy learning which will make it even easier to comprehend and get through it. Best of luck to all my future nurses out there !Kiera Mastache

I have been a student at Herzing since September of 2018 and I have watched that school go down hill. They can not keep consistent nursing instructors and have to make changes to student schedules 2 days before classes start. When they know most of their student population are parents with the majority of us being single parents that work and go to school. But they have made it abundantly clear that they do no support students unless they have money to pay out of pocket. I have watched faculty that has been there since I started grow more and more stressed with the “behind the scenes” politics that go on inside the school. I have watched instructors walk out the door and not look back. Herzing advertises that they are family oriented and all of that but it’s all a joke. They hired the nursing chair to add “ diversity” among the faculty. They have students file complaints on instructors because some of the instructors and other faculty is the rudest people I have ever met. They claim to be a nonprofit organization but have increased cost of tuition twice in just under two years. Oh and don’t have nothing go wrong in your personal life when you fail a class because they don’t care. You can have plan after plan but it won’t be enough for them to let you finish your program when you only have one semester left. This school has been the biggest waste of money and time of my life. I use to enjoy going to school in the mornings I loved the things that I got to learn on a daily basis.. but as their instructors left so did my pride in the school. They do not follow any of the standards that they hold their students to. They don’t educate you if you make a mistake they reprimand you and fail you. They will show you over and over again that you success means nothing to them.. they just want the paycheck.Misty Romigh

Recommended for real people that have real lives and real responsibilities. I attended the online program for my bachelors and masters degrees in nursing, though there is a stand alone campus here in Akron. I was able to attend both programs full time and I will consider returning when it's time for any post-masters certificates. The admissions department was easy to work with and did not use tactics that made me feel pressured or rushed with deciding to enroll and then re-enroll for my advanced degree. The professors were as helpful as they could be and did everything they could do to prepare me to pass my certification exam (which I did on the first attempt!). The resources that we were provided surprised me because they were so accessible and effective. Lastly, the very important behind the scenes staff-accounts, student services and advisors, library, and tech support were amazing. They always addressed my concerns within a timely fashion and what was not known, they sought out an answer and closed the loop for me. My student services advisor (Meaghan G.) continued to answer questions in this same manner even after I completed the program. Thank you to all of the staff. A challenging journey could have been worse without all of your support and efforts!H M Q

Save your money and time!!!!! Students don’t mean anything to them besides a hefty paycheck. They will side on the faculties side every time. The nursing chair is the biggest joke of all the faculty and is the most unprofessional person I have encountered at the school. Some professors care and want you to learn the material, while others play favoritism among students. Don’t worry about signing the syllabus, addendum, nursing handbook, or the P.R.I.C.E. to success paper because the school doesn’t support the policies if its against a faculty member. They can’t keep professors and the student turn over rate is beyond high. Finally if you want to take general education in a classroom setting, not going to happen here because they let go of their general education professors and it’s done all online. So be prepared to pay a ton of money to teach yourself.Danielle Crow

Easy to book online. Pre-class videos were very helpful in preparing for the class. Had some trouble finding parking before class, there is free parking on street & small parking lot but it was all full, so I was late. The Professor was friendly, professional and helpful being my first time getting certified. Definitely recommend for anyone working in a gym, studio or personal training setting.Becky Thayer

Very informative. Great instructor!! Learned everything I needed PLUS more. Very attentive & showed all skills without flaw. He didn’t rush or get upset with anyone making mistakes. He actually asked us if we wanted to practice before heading into the skills test which I thought was very nice; instead of just throwing us to the wolves. Thank you Jarrod! Highly recommend as a CPR Instructor.M Simmons

Jarrod was a great instructor. He was very knowledgeable and engaging and really cared that we learned in his class. I highly recommend taking the class with him. I was very nervous because this was my first time taking the class. But he was also very laid back, funny and made it comfortableNadia Belamri

I am so happy I picked Jessica’s STNA program!! Listen when I tell you she is so so very helpful, she will spend as much individual time you may need so you can pass successfully!! I hadn’t been in school for 19 years and the effort she put into her class I never had anything less than a B! Jessica is very professional, very bright and understanding. And after you pass her class she offers help with refreshing your skills before the state test. I’m so blessed to have been part of her class. Thank you for everything Jessica…Heather Young

Excellent I had a great experience and had fun doing it my classmates was really nice helpful and Jessica was an amazing instructor she made sure everybody understood what she was teaching she make teaching look so easy overall she is down for her students she always there for us after hours and always willing to help I recommend this program to anybody❤️tiffany crosby

Jessica is a great instructor. She is organized, responsive, and able to clearly explain complex topics. Thank you so much for caring about both what you’re teaching and how you teach it. If your looking for an STNA class this is one the you would want to go to 10/10Aaliyah Higdon

Lakewood University has been one of the greatest online experiences I have ever.had. From the ease of navigation through my courses the online library, how easy it is to communicate with my professors, and student services is hands down the best interactive services I have had at any school I have attended. I will be completing my Bachelors program soon and I will also be pursuing my Masters there as well. I have finally found a University that I feel supports me without me having to feel like I don't understand how to navigate from day to day and from class to class because my academic progress is my pace not from semester to semester with expectations that impede my ability to keep up because I am employed and a single father of 2 as well. Lakewood University is the best.Craig Dunson

From the time I started with my admissions advisor my time at Lakewood and been an easy breeze as far as anything the school offered or had control over. I had to stop and go back, that was easier than it was went I went to a different school. Having access to my assignments, instructors, and various staff members was refreshing to say the least. The customer service and the willingness to help students has been unmatched in my experience. I would definitely recommend this school to anyone especially military personnel and or veterans.J'handra Williams

I am extremely happy to be a part of Lakewood U. The amount of assistance i have been given leads to a confident graduate result. It has not been glitch free, but hats off to the staff. So far, every need i have addressed or problem i have faced has been meet with prompt attention. Sometimes by a couple of team members. The system is easy to learn and specific instructions are provided for everything. I wish my fellow students long life and may you prosper.Kevin Gentry

I attended Fortis College back in 2011/2012, and I loved every minute while I was there. I was blessed to have such great instructors. All had experiences in the field of Criminal Justice, and were very knowledgeable about the learning material. Not only was it a great learning environment, it was also a fun environment. The instructors set a stage for the students to WANT to be involved. It was a joy to go to school whilst attending Fortis. All the staff made it their goal to see you succeed. All were very personable, and it felt like being apart of a family. If you had any problems (I rarely had any) there were countless of individuals you could go see and get them resolved. I loved how they had award ceremonies after each semester. They recognized all our efforts and hard-work, and it was always a great feeling to be one of those persons. The atmosphere was always positive. I've made lasting friendships not only with other fellow students, but instructors as well. If you are thinking about attending Fortis College, I encourage you to enroll. It was the best decision I made. I'm now attending a University to obtain my bachelor's degree, and many of the credits I received at Fortis transferred. So if that is one of your worries, worry no more.Seema Hagen

I started my education here when it was NIT in 2001, the instructors were great knowledgeable, and I was placed in a job on the day of graduation. In 2004 I returned to upgrade my Diploma to an Associate Degree, I only had to retake 1 course and my Gen Eds and was completed, again the instructors were fantastic, knowledgeable, and truly provided me the help I needed to succeed one on one, this is something I would not have received from a big University. I have been employed by Fortis since 2005, as an instructor, and in the mean time went back to college for my Bachelor's and Master's at another University, however that University accepted all of my credits from my education at Fortis. I am grateful for NIT/Fortis in all they have done to help me on my journey from Financial Aid to Career Services the experience was great!Melissa Fullen

I graduated from this college in 2012, and my mother also graduated from this college several years ago. My mother and I both had a great experience while attending Fortis College. Fortis College teachers and staff are very supportive of ALL their students to graduate and work in their career field. At this college location they had friendly and dedicated teachers .The classes were in a comfortable and more focused setting with up to about 20 students in each class. Barbara M as the Director of Career Services has been there for many years, she is very helpful with finding you a job in your field. I highly recommend attending this college for your career choice.Bianca W.

Staff are dishonest and not equipped in the positions they fill. Overpriced for low quality. New teacher every semester. They removed me from the OT program for bringing up concerns of their new teacher using class time for something irrelevant and getting her ceu credits for her license, and asking us if we wanted to watch movies. Program director and Dean had no solutions yet deemed me unprofessional for voicing these concerns. Not for any other valid reason, other than they didn't like me speaking up, they lied and got weak people to follow them, it's amusing. Any issues they will hold your transcripts and have you in debt and its really not worth it. There are better options out there. Choose wisely.Divine love (QueenDivinelove)

Worst college experience of my life. I rather take my chances on the lottery then go to school there. Studying Occuapational therapy assisting was the goal in mind. All of the fieldwork was subjective, if they did not like you, you were not going to pass no matter how hard you tried. I felt like I was discriminated against at clinicals. Even sought out legal action against the school and won for breach of contract. I would highly advised looking for other options then to attend that school.Mk K

Very pushy staff! Highly overpriced option for an education. The phone calls continue for months after you repeatedly tell them you have chosen another school.Stephanie Dutine

Easy parking, nice facilities, helpful concierge and facility staff. Comfortable and safe. I would recommend this venue for any company looking to rent space. When you schedule your event, tell them Joe sent you…they will say Joe Who…that's me.J. V. Rychman

Was here for a conference. Clean space with good signage to get you to the correct room easily. All of the food was excellent! Free WiFi code was easy to find by the main entrance.Scott Trimmer

Beware when you try to do the online Bachelor program at this university. The staff members are not reliable at all. I called so many times about my transcript and nobody called me back for several days. Finally they said the staff who worked on this was on vacation and would work on it when she comes back. I called the other time for technical support and again , nobody picked up the phone and nobody called back for several days. When I called the office in Seven hills try to talk to someone, they put me on hold for over 10 minutes and they were hoping that I was going to hang up the call. The whole system in this university is very unorganized. Most staff there don't have work ethics at all. If you are going to choose a school to go, stay away from this one. They only want your money and they definitely don't want to answer any questions or offer any assistance to you.云知晓

Indiana Wesleyan University has helped me accomplish my bachelor's degree when I thought it would be impossible! From the hours of operation, class schedules, curriculum, prayers, amazing staff and professors….I really can't say enough. A Special shoutout to Jim Drazdik for his help and acts of kindness throughout my educational journey at IWU. Thank you all so much!! I am forever grateful.Crisalida Parker

I got my first degree assocates was okay. I had to take things that did not relate to what I was going for. I feel they are all about money. I'm in it again for a certificate for medical. The teachers are rude and blaming the students if we don't understand something. They say we are failing to understand and listen. All semester I have been trying and the teachers being rude. Info is was to much to do and the work and just combing too much together. I feel I have made a poor decision. In chosing to take my cerfticate for medical here. I have even had the teacher call me yelling at me when I tried to tell her I felt I was being treated unfair. I had a death in the family at the time. Also recently I keep being told I am the only one if there's a issue like not receiving all three cpr certificates in e-mail and to figure it out myself. Then I found out other in the class had same issue. I am at my witts end in theclass but close to graduating this semester but can't tolerate being treated like this anymore. I'm afraid to go to lccc about the teachers that they will fail me or make it worse for me. I have not been in a situation like this in all my years of going to school.Katherine

terrible, some teachers are great, others are the worst I've ever met. Prof. Craddock in microcomputer applications will have a fit if you dare look at your phone, then she will give you the worst lecture of your entire life, then give you an assignment with directions so vague it is impossible to do. Credit transferring has a 50/50 chance of working, Trustee Scholarships get ignored by financial office constantly. The "welcome to lccc " course or SDEV is the biggest waste of time ever. Multiple hours a week devoted to nothing. No academic benefit, nothing of substance, just incredibly basic information and then they force you to use even more time to meet a counselor for an assignment because you aren't already swamped enough. 3/10 would rather be in crippling debt, maybe then i could get credit for my classes.potato_lover 123

Lorain County Community College has many degree and certificate programs to choose from. Plan sheets are available throughout the campus. Assessment testing will help you to determine if you are ready. The key for me was to find a plan and stick with it. The atmosphere was nothing like my high school, and I loved it. I found a great job in my field even before graduating. Later, I was able to transfer my entire two-year degree into one of the University Partnership programs. I started as a third-year student, and completed my bachelor's degree while working full-time and raising a family, without having to leave the county. Once I had a goal, counselors, advisors, faculty members, tutors, staff and even fellow students helped me to reach it!Margaret Rozmarynowycz

I was Karen's first student and I loved it! I took the 4-week class because I, personally, like to spread my work out rather than cramming it into two weeks. I had 2 morning clinical's and 2 afternoon clinical's at Jackson Ridge where I work now. My favorite part was the hands on work. You teach the teacher just like it says on her website. She is very understanding and will help you with any questions or concerns you may have! I am now an STNA and have been working since December 25th!Hannah Hall

One of the best classes you can take, not only does the teacher make you feel confident in yourself but the teacher also gives you real world applications to the work you training in, give you the time and actually cares on how you do in the field. A real 10/10 classKevin McBride

THIS IS BY FAR THE WORST PLACE TO ATTEND FOR THE ‘LPN PROGRAM’. Everyone is all smiles and pretend to be happy that you have joined … But once you sign your name on that dotted line…All the gears shift! First thing first, The ‘teachers’ here are JUST certified to teach nursing curriculum. They don’t have a degree to teach🧐. The ‘teachers’ here aren’t encouraging nor helpful. Daily the students here are reminded how ‘dumb’ they are for taking the full time class instead of the part time class. When taking test, The questions are totally different from what was/how it was taught and blamed the student for not understanding 🤨 This place isn’t employed with color people, AT All🤔 There is absolutely no diversity here, From the staff, down to the janitor. The only people of color here are the students🤦🏽‍♀️ This isn’t a school, This is a money machine..Filled with regrets, tears and disappointment 🗣OhhYouu MICHELLE!!!

Cuyahoga Valley Career Center ROCKS! I had the pleasure of being a guest speaker there last Thursday speaking to 45 students about financial literacy. Even after a three hour class with only one five minute break the students were still engaged and asking great questions!!! Staff including automotive technology instructor Jerry Koenig could not have been nicer! The kids were respectful and attentive. I can't wait to finish my program this Thursday!Robert Gillingham II

Very well kept school. Staff was always friendly. I attended as a student and it taught me more in 2 years then I learned in 4 years of college. I highly recommend this school of you are going into film. The professor, Bernie VanTilburg was and still is one of the best media instructors I've had the pleasure teaching me.

Hi, I'm a graduate from 1988 of the Dental Hygiene program. I have a successful career now. The dental hygiene clinic has since been updated and looks awesome! I had a positive experience there. I always encourage people to attend, even if it's just to save money on electives! My son is currently registered and will be attending this month, I'm thrilled. I'm also going to be attending, but as a 60 year old who will be auditing the class, because I can go for free! I give Lakeland 5 Stars…Good luck!Char Shinsky

It was pretty quiet there considering the pandemic. I went to the meteorology lab taught by John Niedzelnik. He was laid back and informative with the students. Tries to change things up with guest speakers and field trips! The only complaint is directionally, the school does not have enough signage or directories to navigate your way through the school.Valerie Garrett

I love this school! I just started this semester and I can reel you that every there is so welcoming and friendly. the classes are very affordable! All of my classes were paid for by red cross this semester which I am extremely grateful for. The school has everyone you need and looking for in a community college.. This school is very close to Mentor.Marlon Brandon

Absolute shame! Not sure how this "college" is still up and with a clear lack of staff to support students, many staff (not all) are not qualified to support the students they serve, the campus is puny, and a lack of standard college facilities… it almost feels like one rung under what would be considered a baseline college experience. Last year they lost over $2 million and are looking for refinancing options but have been denied. There are SO many other good college options nearby in Northeast Ohio, look elsewhere. TO MANY RED FLAGS! HORRIBLE graduation rate, beware!Mark Salsbury

Overall a low quality college. There is nothing positive to say about NDC, with the exception of the professors who I did feel were great. However, a degree from here is not valuable, there are low graduation rates, and there are not many resources available for students. There was black mold in the dorm room ceilings and multiple students had STD's during my time here. I transferred out as fast as I could. I highly encourage high school seniors to look elsewhere.Molly Boeddeker

Visited there with my son a few years ago. Definitely walked away with the impression that the agenda is more about religious indoctrination then about Academic education! Students seem to be strongly rooted in their religious ideology and less excited about their academic studies at least the ones my son and I spoke to!Lawrence Incarnato
