The advisors are literally the worst I have seen. They are basically unaware of how to advise, impossible to reach, don't follow through, and give no recommendations on pre requisite classes. Now the health science department is even worse. The instructors pride themselves on a high failure percentage. They deviate from school policy and ALL Bio 210 and 211 professors are arrogant and unwilling to support your child. Stay away from the arrogant professors, AND they don't care about your future.AB Gentry

this technical college is the best technical college in south carolina, there was a problem with the workers at the edgefield campus, they lost my transcripts, and they tried to cancel my advisement appointment so they could meet their boyfriend in the parking lot, the students at the edgefield campus were rude, and trashy, they are not going to stop me from going there, the classes that you have to take are wonderful, the instructional methods are excellentJessica Taylor

This is a neighborhood school in the cheraw/Chesterfield region. A really nice size school. Within is pleasantly improved and there is a data window just as an understudy administration window. They pass by room numbers, which isn't excessively useful. I really went to a couple of various entryway until I arrived at the right area. The school should put indications of the specific offices so guests will have no issues once nearby grounds of tracking down the right office. A portion of the staff isn't useful. It is difficult to contact individuals and they don't return calls. I don't suggest this area except if you can't resist. There witticism is to assist individuals with their schooling and labor force preparing, false.Amanda Fergusontyer

This is a local area community college in the cheraw/Chesterfield area. A pretty decent size school. The inside is nicely decorated and there is a information window as well as a student service window. They go by room numbers, which is not too helpful. I actually went to a few different door until I landed at the right location. The school should put signs of the particular departments so that visitors will have no issues once on campus grounds of finding the correct department. Some of the staff is not helpful. It is hard to reach people and they do not return phone calls. I do not recommend this location unless you can't help it. There motto is to help people with their education and workforce training, not true.SunShine Johnston

Great place to learn. Helps you get your credits for a lot cheaper than basically anywhere else. Teachers are great. School has a lot of events open to every student. Library is well-stocked, and the librarians are about as helpful as one could ask for. Small campus that is easy to navigate.Waffles The Wookiee

Funny how they allow a white privileged trash stay that body shames and cyber bully’s and is harassing a girl with not even a your in the wrong but instead they agree on the behavior as she posts it on her story to show proof you agreeing on the behavior and throwing her privileges in people faces that she got away with it and funny how instead of getting the hate you deserve you turn off and delete comments you need get your stuff together and tell her she no longer welcome for fat shaming and cyber bullying I think you will be okay without her privileges and the person who represents that agreed on it need to be shown consequences for there actions they clearly knew and agreed which is beyond terrible for the schools behave and not to mention people who represent that school @ddavisss_ on tiktok for video proof that you have and choose to ignoreTaylor Michelle

Newberry has remained among the top 10 for Best Value in the southeast for the last five consecutive years, according to U.S. News & World Report. In 2021, the College firmly held its place at No. 6 in the region, becoming the highest-ranked South Carolina school on the list. Newberry degree has served me me well. Our love, our faith, our loyalty ~ Hail Scarlet and the GrayJD Langheim

Newberry college is AWESOME if you are looking for a small but tight knit campus. I moved here for work at the school and do not regret it one bit. Everyone loves new faces here! Gorgeous older campus and the town itself is really cool!steve tristan

I thought USCB was a good school until i lived on campus. The housing staff is racist. They don't follow the rules of the handbook. They give students no privacy. They let your roommates steal without any consequences. One housing staff member i would like to point out is Ms. Whaley who attacks students who live on campus because she think she has power over everyone. Mrs. Burks-hale has made many vulgar comments to my girlfriend because of the color of her skin. For the students that are here today on acceptance day, you still have time to make the right decision. Choosing the college you wanna go to for the next four years is the biggest decision of your life.USCB Student

I'm currently a senior at USCB and honestly I would have been lost when I transferred here 2 years ago if it hadn't of been for Katie Deal in financial aid. I had no clue how to take out loans or even figure out if I qualified for anything. Katie pretty much took me under her wing and pointed me in the right direction so I could have the means to make it to graduation. She has always gone above and beyond for me and has spent hours upon hours trying to find the best loan for me. For any incoming students or parents trying to get financial help, I highly recommend you go see Katie. USCB has really found a gem with her!Caleb Thompson

Good school if you want to be surrounded by dogs all day and possibly walking in dog poop all the time. I didn't come here to be at a doggy day care center. Probably going to transfer because I don't like being awoken by barking at 3 am and the housing staff sucks! Not to mention at the beginning of the semester one of the dorms were infested with fleas!Sammiee Edwards

Out of the 4 community colleges I have taken courses at, ABTech has been the worst by far. I have had the worst experience with advising/registration trying to get scheduled for the classes I want. Everyone I speak to just turns me in circles and no one seems to understand what to do in order to help me go where I need to go. They only give you 48 hours once classes start to switch them around if need be, but you need an advisor to approve before you can register for anything different, but you can’t get in to meet with an advisor till days after the deadline. I feel so defeated. I worked so hard to get the courage to return to school, just to not be able to take any courses this semester. Wasting my time and my financial aide. I would not recommend going here. 😓Brynn Dunlap

The staff here are for the most part very friendly and easy to be around. The administration however, is terribly unorganized. It's not uncommon to get information from their website or info center, but be told the complete opposite by a faculty member or chair person. I was following a recommended schedule for the program I'm in, when it was changed completely without any notice. Half the classes I was told to take this Fall are no longer offered, and it will now take me twice as long to complete my program. Long story short- don't attend AB tech if you're pursuing a degree or diploma. I'd only recommend this place to continuing education students.Andy Albert

LOVE this school! I am graduating this May from the Radiography program and will graduate next May with an AS in Biochemistry. AB Tech has made the process smooth and efficient for me, just as I worked hard to make sure I turned everything needed for processing my information early to them to ensure success. The teachers are fantastic and truly care about their students. I am so grateful for the writing, math and science study labs as well because the staff there gave me the extra help I needed whenever a concept was tough. I have worked hard here and it has been worth it!Annebritt Birkeland

Great local university offering a solid education, but lacking administration. For its size, USC Upstate offers an impressive number of courses, specializing in education and nursing. The vast majority of professors employed at Upstate are talented individuals and gifted teachers, very skilled at imparting knowledge on students. The actual grounds and structures of Upstate are well kept up, and consistently being updated, improved, and added on. As an alumnus, I am thoroughly happy with the education that I received at Upstate. My only complaint about Upstate is the administrative department. Admissions, financial aid, and any other non-education portion of the school seems disconnected and completely unaware. I frequently had to call or stop by to address what seemed to be extremely minor issues, only to spend hours running around to find a fix. My wife applied, never received an acceptance letter, but she later received a confirmation of financial aid. Never assume they've handled an issue that you have any concerns about. USC Upstate is a great school, one that I will continually offer my support for. However, they could definitely improve the admissions department, and all other administrative facets of the school. Stay on top of any issues before they become urgent and you should do just fine here.Jake Hennett

EDITED TO ADD: changed review from 2 stars to 3. The University did remove the charges for the meal plan and I do not think they require 100% virtual students to pay the meal plan anymore. The second semester resulted in a slightly better experience regarding the online education format. We plan to enroll in more in person classes next semester. L.Bishop Original review: I don't know what this University was like before the pandemic, but we are not getting a good value for the money. Several professors last semester did not seem proficient with the virtual/online format or appear to care that students weren't getting the same or comparable education to in person classes. I wish we had enrolled in a fully distance learning program elsewhere, as they are proficient with everything online learning entails. Also, when choosing a University, many compare tuition costs. However, the fees each semester are significant and sometimes defy logic. For example, why would a student who doesn't even live on campus and is taking 100 percent online courses and never goes on campus be forced to purchase a meal plan???Lisa Bishop

This college is a joke, I hate that I even transferred here. I should of looked at these reviews before I even thought about attending. I'm going to try my best to get out this university. The staff here always gives you the run around, seems very uneducated and not much helpful to make your transfer goes as smooth as possible. I hate this school already and I haven't even started yet till next week. Plus if you are a veteran you basically have to do everything yourself, they don't know their job and you have to figure out everything on your own. Something is always missing. They are clueless. I can't tell you how many times I had to take trips up there because my phone calls were never returned and I'm not even a current student yet, or they tell you your good to start school in the upcoming semester then something else pops up you need in order to start. This whole transition has been a major headache for me.Tiontay Bradford

Schools are responsible for providing an education and preparing us for life afterwards. This school fails miserably at both. Graduation rates are horrendous, this is mostly due to the fact that I had classmates with 700 SAT scores and 1.9 GPA's. At first thought, I believed Limestone was the good Samaritan that gave these people a chance at a good education. Much to my dismay, this is not the case. They do not expect these students to graduate, but they fill their classes and get their money before they kick them out the door with nothing but possibly $70,000 in debt (after 2 years) These same students slowed classes down, so in order to cover all the material we had to go to class as part of the highschool attendance policy, then spend another hour covering what the professor was unable to get to during class because of these students. At a huge $35,000/year I could name 20 schools quickly that would give a better education and save you $5-15,000/year minimum. Education aside, athletics are in fantastic standing as most athletes are international players and are quite good. If you have a full scholarship for athletics, I could even suggest working extra hard and making a run to play professional sports. But DO NOT expect to leave fully prepared for the real worldKyle Miller

I am a working Registered Nurse with 3 kids. I was offered a free tuition for the RN to BSN online program so that the new program could earn its accreditation. I had been wanting to get my BSN for years but never could afford it. Unfortunately, shortly after I started the program, COVID hit and I was homeschooling 3 kids and working full time. I couldn't continue with the BSN program. I notified the head of the program and was told it was fine. The following year, to my surprise, all of my state tax refunds were taken by Limestone University!!!! When I called to find out about the issue, I was told that they would continue to take my tax refund until $7000 plus was payed back for the "free" program that I signed up for and did not complete due to unforeseen circumstances. No one ever thought that the whole country would be in lockdown because of a pandemic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Thank you Limestone University for helping Nurses further their education. Thank you for being understanding of working mothers during a pandemic (note the sarcasm!) This University only cares about the $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ There is nothing "Christian" about this!!!!!!!Donna Hassen

As a current student of Limestone College, At first with every new school, you are filled with excitement and nervousness. My first semester here transfering from a technical school I was very excited for this new chapter of my life but as time passed I quickly yearned for the end of the semester. 1 – Almost all of the residence halls have serisous design flaws or deterioration. 2 – There is almost nothing to do for non student athletes. 3 – The entire school feels like one giant high school cliche. Especially at the dining hall. 4 – The tutoring situation here is atrocious. The school partners with a third party tutoring service that provides tutors but when upon looking for one, one can never find one for their subject. I want to like this school. But it needs to address a ton of issues before it can shine.zachary butler

If I could give 0 stars I would because this school is not even worth one half of a star. From the first day I even considered attending this school to the last day I will attend I have told myself this was a HUGE mistake. I am an out of state student, on my first day of class no one told me where to go I didn’t even know who my instructor was. I was in the financial aid office in tears because I was so lost and no one cared at all. I was never given a tour of the campus and no one replied to my emails when I would ask questions in regards to the issues I was experiencing. On the student orientation day I was told I would receive a packet of information about the school along with a few other items they were giving out to the new students. I walked into the room it was being held in and not one person said anything to me. I sat through a 1-2 hour presentation having no clue what was going on. And this isn’t even the worst part. When I spoke with my financial aid advisor about getting loans for my classes, initially I was told I would be spending around 350 per class. Then when it came time for my refund to come back I was told that I owed over 1000 dollars in fees. Obviously being confused as to where that came from I called asking what was going on. I spoke with one of the only men in the financial aid department and he was the most rude person I have ever dealt with. I told him how frustrated I was and how confused I was about the situation and why I was being charged for that amount when I pulled out a 1500 dollar loan, and was told that amount would be plenty to cover my 2 classes. When I told him I was going to transfer to a school that actually cares about their students and not their money his response was (with a snotty chuckle) “that’s perfectly fine” he also suggested that if I want to save money then I should “get married faster to help cover the costs of your classes”. After swallowing my pride, paying the balance and continuing to take classes the same thing happened yet again except this time, I have been dropped from two classes for “not paying the balance in full” even though I have a payment plan set up and have paid my dues each month. I have been told that I am not allowed to transfer and that they will not give me my transcripts to do so. I have been told by the head person of the financial aid department that they don’t believe they are doing anything wrong because “we are just trying to get the money from you that you owe us” when describing to her how frustrated I was and how terribly I had been treated all she said was “I am only going to address the issue in regards to you owing us money” this school has a lot of work to do and I would never recommend anyone ever attend here because they truly only care about leaching off of the students and sucking them dry. To say the least, I more than hate this school.Tianna Christensen

I graduated from high school in 2012. The statics were stacked against me; African American girl, from a single parent home, childless, no criminal record and first to attend college in my immediate family. I'm a "mama's girl", so I wasn't ready to leave home. First, I enrolled at another local college. The institutions polices & procedures were extensive. This caused me to withdraw from the school in question. Central Carolina Technical College was the next school on my list. My transition into Tech was easy. The staff and faculty were welcoming, patience and encouraging. The course work assignment were realistic and allowed multiple chances to answer the questions correctly. Central Carolina likes to hire in house. I've been blessed to work 3 positions while enrolled in classes. After graduation I worked 2 more jobs as a customer service representative and a tutor at the college. My visit to Central gave me freedom to grow as a person. Life is what you make it. Get involved. Step by step.Crystal Rd

Called financial aid between the summer and fall courses multiple times a week to get an update on my Financial Aid (dead-end job at the time) and they never answered. I put in for financial aid Mid-Summer semester and would call multiple times a week leading up to the beginning of the fall semester with my name, Student ID, and number to call back… They never responded. I was unable to get any of the books and by the time I was able to get them it was halfway through the semester? Guess what comes in? The financial aid I applied for 4 months ago and never got a call for an update that I requested easily 10 total times. I had to withdraw from all of my courses to prevent shattering any hopes of a GPA. Then they try to bill me for the money that FAFSA took back? They couldn't update me on when my money was coming in but they don't mind sending a letter, huh? This place is an absolute joke. I'd recommend Florence-Darlington or essentially any other tech school.Henry Miles, Jr.

When you read the reviews that say staff ignores students believe them. They rarely answer the phones, do not return phone calls, and rarely respond to emails either. It only gets worse once you are enrolled. You are a student ID number and a tuition fee. I wish I was lying when i say my English teacher has not graded any writing assignments this semester until yesterday after I spoke with the dean and lost my temper (3 weeks to end of semester). This was my first (and last) semester here, I had enrolled in online classes and transferred credits from a community college in Tennessee, being a working adult. If you are just jumping through the hoops to have a degree under your belt and don't care if you actually learn anything, its a fine place to do that. if you expect to get the education you are paying for to increase your knowledge base and be better prepared for your future, this is the wrong place. I feel really bad for the recent high school grads and others from the local school systems who have not had exposure to quality education to be able to tell the difference and recognize that they are being short changed/taken advantage of, and its the students who will suffer from being under-prepared, not the college or the instructors. Students won't know until they graduate and enter the work force and learn it after the fact.Rhonda Malone

If/When you read the reviews about others saying that PCC staff ignores it's students, PLEASE BELIEVE THEM! They rarely answer the phone, do not return phone calls, and rarely respond to emails either. This is my first (and last) semester here, I had enrolled in the summer online classes and transferred credits from a high school in Pennsylvania, being a working adult. If you are just jumping through the hoops to have a degree under your belt and don't care if you actually learn anything, PCC is a fine place to do that. But if you expect to get the education you are paying for to increase your knowledge base and be better prepared for your future, this school is not the place to go. I feel really bad for the recent high school grads and others from the local school systems who have not had exposure to quality education to be able to tell the difference and recognize that they are being short changed/taken advantage of, and its the students who will suffer from being under-prepared, not the college or the instructors. Students won't know until they actually graduate and enter the work force and learn it after the fact.Níkuā Kittiye

Pitt Community College has not been a good experience for me at all. I received no help from the financial aid office, they told me they could do nothing for me unless I had a parent present even though I am 20 years old and am completely independent from them and they love in a whole other state. Don't even get me started on the "advisor" situation there. I was assigned to a "success navigator" not an advisor and he had no idea what he was doing. His name is Clark Howerton. Being a first generation college student, I needed guidance so I went to him. He offered me 0 help at all. I was then transferred to a "real" advisor during my 3rd semester there. She again offered no help. I had to email her 2 times over the course of a week, so that I was finally able to get a response. Instructors told me that she was not a good advisor… so why is she one? Because of these mistakes through pitt, I am falling behind in my academic schedule. Would not recommend this institution to anyone.Presley Bryant

The science department (bio, biochem, chemistry, physics) is amazing and so helpful in supporting students aiming for any graduate level education. Every professor pushes you to be better while also guiding you to be a better person and student. They are all straight forward and even step by step help you apply and learn about career options. I couldn't have asked for better mentors in that department. And I'm thankful every day that they invested so much in me and helped me get into medical school. The school community in itself is not accommodating. I felt ostracized my first year being out of state and being minority. I almost transferred my freshman year because I was just that miserable living on campus. The community is not diverse by any means and it is 100% a suitcase school, despite what I was told when I visited before applying. I don't necessarily blame the school for the students attitude but I never felt welcomed or at home at Anderson after 4 years. I am also a Christian, and did not agree with many of Anderson's values, although their rules are not difficult to follow, just tedious. Essentially, Anderson Univeristy has a fantastic science department, and I would rate them by themselves 10/10 but the community there I would rate 4/10. If you just want a great science education, they have it, but social life isn't as guaranteed.Meagan Ocampo

If you are in favor of a small Baptist community, then by all means go here. However, if you are anything but that, then expect to be forced to go to Chapel in order to graduate, a zero tolerance for married couples or any couple in that matter, and residence advisors inspecting your room in depth if there is any suspicion that you are doing anything against their small Baptist community policies. Don't expect the best one on one attention because every other class and special needs student gets it with the same professor. Lastly, most of the on campus living have a huge mold problem that affected my friends' health as well as my own, and some campus complexes were infested with roaches. By the way tuition is $22,570 per two semesters, while other public schools like Clemson is $13,022 per two semesters.Joshua Hendrix

I am currently a student at Anderson University, and overall I have had a great experience. I have made great friends and the academic curriculum is excellent in my major. I will say that the school is not for everyone. It has a very strong christian atmosphere and students are held to certain rules and standards not found at other schools. However, this is part of what I like about Anderson as it helps prepare students for the real life scenarios of being responsible adults. I will tell you this though, every professor puts in 110% into everyone's education, I have never been denied academic help when I needed it. I feel prepared for the future going forward into my senior year next semester.Caroline M

I really like the flexibility of the online courses, the affordability and the variety of degree options they have. My advisors and teachers have been very great but communicating with the other staff at this school is very frustrating. The employees in the financial aid department are very rude and condescending and they hang up on you abruptly whenever they get frustrated with you. The registar’s office is by far the WORST. Very nasty employees in that department who talk down to you and treat you like a child. They seem to forget they work for a college, not an elementary school. One spent 10 minutes arguing on the phone with me just because I wanted my new advisor’s phone number and email. The “career counselors” offer no type of help or advice and they just tell you to “google it” whenever you have a basic question about a certain major. They are also very judgmental if you express a desire to finish with only an associates degree and not transfer to a 4 year, not considering not everyone has the financial means to do so. The call center employees are very disrespectful and seem like they want to find reasons to argue with callers. There are also huge issues with miscommunication at this school and everyone seems to have different answers about certain topics which causes a lot of errors. Certain departments are also not great about contacting back even after leaving numerous voicemails/emails. Overall I like the school itself but they need to either retrain the employees on basic respect and customer service or they need to hire new ones.Resident Anon

The teachers here are all outstanding and they make you feel like they want you to succeed. I have taken College Algebra, Biology and Spanish in the classroom and the instructors were all topnotch. There is also additional help available to students in the free math lab and writing centers as well as Spanish tutoring. The online classes are not that confusing but you do need to pay attention because sometimes you are required to take classes through third-party online textbooks via the access codes. The only problems I had were with transferring credits to the school and getting contradictory information from the financial aid office on one occasion. I do wish the school did a better job with advising students but I understand the logistics issues. Everyone at the hub is friendly and helpful! Use them they are a great resource. To all the people that left negative reviews, I would say "you get out what you put in". This is college and you get treated like an adult.Linda Brady

Mrs Jagal never cease to amaze me. I can’t count on her to get registered for the correct classes, motivation me, and share some knowledge on everyday life. She exceeds the title as an advisor and for that, I am forever grateful. She is authentic, sensible, and overall a down to earth amazing persons. She has been the perfect push I need to get my education I need to support my family. She approached. She is direct. She is Trident Tech. Thank you again Mrs. Jagal for Trident Tech the best part of my educational journey. The world needs a little bit of you everywhere. Continue to be, you!A Boss

Aiken Tech is the best school I have ever went to. Compared to Peru State(NE), & Suffolk Community College(NY).. The professors are great, very helpful. THEY want YOU to learn the material and pass. They are not there to TRY and flunk you. The president is very friendly and kind as well as the staff members. They really want to help you achieve your goals. The library is great, very nice atmosphere, and very resourceful. The school has an academic success center where they provide FREE tutoring!! How awesome is that! I also love how new the school looks compared to other schools. Brand new computers in the math lab. PS. Great Security, and Officers that patrol the school. They are always around. I appreciate their hard work to try and keep the school safe. -Shirley Schweitzersema enginsoy

Worth test center! I went there for CNA skills test. I was doing Bed pan procedure. Even I was doing wrong. I was trying to wipe it down. The lady snatched the paper towels out of me. That was rude. And another guy was doing blood pressure procedure. Machine was broken. But they didn't help him. So They failed him. That is so rude and unprofessional. We are paying money for the test! They need to fix the machine and treat people with some respect!Yurie Otani Watson

My siblings and I have attended this school. I'm currently obtaining my Pharmacy Technician degree. There were some times where my siblings had to retake classes because the school wouldn't accept them even though it was what the requirement really said. I have had a few bad instructors but most of the time I've had great teachers. I guess it really depends on the student. Overall it's a good school for someone trying to get an associates degree.Anastasia Pierce

I went to midlands tech for many years. I struggled through the nursing program (and associates in arts and associated in science programs) for years as a single mother of a child with disabilities who was also exiting a decade long abusive relationship. I walked on a broken foot for four months through Clinicals in order to make it, had a foot surgery, totaled cars, and 20+ hours a week of therapies for my son with disabilities. And still I made it to my LPN semester only to end up in the hospital the last week before finals. I was told that I could not have a medical drop as I had received one for my foot surgery and was forced to take test 3,4, and the final in the week following my visit to the hospital. My grade dropped from a 90 to a 79.4 and I was told that I’d have to repeat everything all over again. The ombudsman and the VP went to Mrs. Bannister and begged her to allow an exception based off of the healthcare related nature of my situation and she refused. This place ruined my life and left me with no way to support my child and no nursing career after I already had a job waiting for me on the surgical trauma floor at Richland. After everything I lived through and survived. I am still traumatized. This place will ruin your life. DO NOT ATTEND THIS COLLEGE! Edit: In addition to my previous post this school is taking it a step further and denying me the right to participate in graduation after everything I have been through due to me being locked out of my MTC email (PS who only sends email info on a school email? nothing in the mail?) and was unable to receive the notification in time and they are now refusing my participation in graduation. I wish I could let anyone at that school know what they've done to me, my family, and my life. I HATE THIS SCHOOL and I've never hated anyone or anything!Danielle D Jacobs

I am in the Computer Technology program and am supposed to be completing my last semester, however we are at midterm and I am now finding out I have 1 more class to take . This is particularly infuriating because not only did my advisor tell me how many courses i needed to take to graduate, but Financial aid department told me that the aid for the semester was awarded based on how many credit hours i needed to graduate (I am taking the classes that I was told and showed I needed). Overall, in my 2 years as a student, my opinion has always been that's it is very much a subpar school-regarding the staff as well as education quality. My first semester (my education foundation) I had 2 that didn’t care and literally booted you out of the classroom before class was over as they had other things to do. The computer advisors are extremely ill prepared to help anyone. They continuously have no idea what each class will teach you, do not know which classes you should take for any career path, and are usually new personnel each semester. I, like many other students here, have a family outside of school and do not have the means to be a student and unemployed for another semester. Also, they don't have ANY tutors for the computer department! This makes things VERY difficult. The teachers do what they can in their office hours, and I can name 3 or 4 that are worth calling a teacher/professor and actually care about the subject and students. They claim to help you find a job after, and boast they have company’s asking them for their graduates… however this is not easily accessed, nor are there plentiful opportunities once graduated. The level of education and subjects taught seem not to be in line at all with what is desired by companies.srnclb

Horrible, Horrible, Horrible experiences! I have attended multiple semesters here and each one is more of a dumpster fire than the last. I have never had such difficulty with anything in my life or dealt with such rude, spiteful, or plan MEAN faculty members. I have been told countless times to quit my job and focus only on school, please tell me how being the sole provider for my family that would work? Followed by the staffs refusal to talk with me about options when I refuse to quit my job and have to look for odd times to attend classes. This school has been a GIGANTIC regret and I have only ever dealt with about two people that actually cared and WANTED to help like a decent educator would. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME, MONEY, ENERGY or LIFE here.Dani

I just received my bachelor's from Herzing University, and I cannot say that I would recommend this school to anyone. For those looking to pursue education exclusively online, I would say that this program is pretty straightforward, however, being on the Atlanta campus was stressful more than half of the time. When I started there in 2013, there were a number of professors that were so passionate about teaching (for instance Mrs. Hess, Mr.Moore and Dr. Friedman <—this guy had to be the best instructor to teach mathematics I've ever had) but to my knowledge, they've all left the campus. Now, it seems like they're understaffed and just unprofessional overall. I had a professor tell me that they asked him to teach a course the day before (leaving him unprepared, and I honestly felt that he was unqualified to teach the class (but when the lesson plans are laid out for you I suppose anyone can teach anything). In the time that I was there, there were three academic deans and three presidents. I tried to get assistance with tutoring once, and I had to literally chase them down to respond to me. Then, three weeks into the class with no tutor and the dean asked me, "Do you think getting a tutor at this point is worth it?" Seeing as though this was the last class I needed to graduate, I was baffled. What kind of question is that to ask a student? When enrolling here, I was under the impression that I would be able to take the majority of my classes on campus. I was a criminal justice student, and the majority of my criminal justice courses, and none of my law classes were available on ground. I pretty much just took my gen-ed classes on campus, and ended up online for two years because none of my other classes were offered on ground. To wrap this up, if you're looking to take classes exclusively online, then sure, give this school a shot, but I could never see myself returning here to further my education.Rose Gold

If you want to stay in communication with anyone regarding your academic records or attendance at this school, DO NOT EXPECT A CALL BACK! Their communication skills are the worst! I am currently in the process of trying to communicate with my advisor, Mr. Jermonte Battle after leaving messages and emails and no response. I was transferred to another advisor who sounded like he did not want to assist whats so ever and was quick to get rid of me over the phone. They are definitely money hungry and make you go through hoops to take of business! Today I have left a message for Shannon Moore, the director of admissions I guess and hopefully I'll receive a call back….I will be keeping this post updated! So please reconsider and continue to look scholars! 8/23 – I sent an email to Jermonte Battle expressing my pure concern regarding his communication skills and my request to withdrawal, his response was very short and he quickly directed me to the registrar's office to withdrawal. No remorse, no questions of concern or any interest on how he could make me continue to keep me as a student at Herzing whatsoever! RUN Future Scholars! That was my ticket out of there!Ariel Chisholm

I currently attend this school and for them to actually act like they care but don't really show it tells a person a lot. You can request no online classes but will place you in one. I feel like they set you up for FAILURE. There's a lot of work that this school needs in order to be great and communication is one. Teachers not communicating at a reasonable time is pure unprofessionalMatthew Lewis

This college has made a terrible impression. They got me admitted as a transfer student, and I have been preparing for the Fall session online, but to appear in person, and I just found out I missed the registration deadlines because student advising never got back to me. I took the new student orientation and the professor, just skimmed through all the info. There wasn't time for questions, and she cut it short by 30 minutes. It didn't even explain how to register online. I had been in communication and prepared for this session but didn't understand how to register so all the classes I had 'added to my schedule' weren't actually registered, and no one followed up with my questions. I thought I was registered, and even as I try to register now after the fact, it still says I need student advising which no one ever got back to be except for an email to say I already had everything set up. I am torn about this. Now I have to wait another session to get started?! NO! I will take my education somewhere where I can actually get assistance. This is such an emotional drag.Gabrielle Flores

I have tried several Home Health Agency’s in the past year and I can say without a doubt that Bright Star Care of Easley has them all beat. The care, compassion. Being extremely responsive to the care of the patient and very much including the family members in making decisions are all elements that make this Company stand above all the rest. The Home Health Workers are trained and retrained if necessary to reach their high standards. I also want to add that having 24 hour coverage is another great thing they offer. Believe it or not the owner of the company Tim Deyton actually will answer many nights to give the regular staff a break! Now tell me who does that? Not any Owner I’ve ever encountered. From the first call I can guarantee you will feel like family and they won’t let you down. BRIGHT STAR CARE OF EASLEY WONT LET YOU DOWN!!Joanie G

If you are looking for a job or a care giver for someone you know I would recommend BrightStar Care. I personally have worked with BrightStar Care for quite a few months. The president of the company as well as the workers who run this business truly care about others, and will treat you as if you are family. They not only care about the company as a whole, but also things that happen during your personal life. We have been blessed to work with some great clients, and look forward to meeting, and providing care for more clients in the future. Thank you BrightStar Care for employment, and thank you to the clients that have provided us with care giving opportunities.Alicia Bearden

This office is locally-owned. Tim, our owner, is available 7 days a week. He is here daily working to make BrightStar Care Easley/Piedmont the company you need and trust. Communication, is and has been our focus. Families need to be involved with their loved one's care. It's our mission to provide multiple facets of support. Our care is our passion. When the majority of your clients are referred by existing clients, you know you are doing things right! I have never been more proud to tell people where I work. You know from the moment you reach out to us, you are important and we will work to provide you/your loved one quality of life.Janet White

I would like to thank Mrs. Tina and her staff for what I have accomplished in the last 7 weeks in the Nursing Assistants Program.My hard work paid off at the end with Mrs. Tina saying “You Got This” … “Stay Focused“ On this Friday morning I got up … prayed and walked in the classroom and all I could see was this BIG SMILE on Mrs.Tina face when she looked at me.The worry was gone… My partner and I was the first ones to do our skills,I went in there and did what was expected of me and walk out with my head up high and said I got this.Then comes the written … had me a little worry … but in Mrs.Tina voice … read the questions and make the answers make since … I was the last one in the class to turn my test in.All I keep saying I got this.When I got that email when I got home and it said PASS on both …. All I could say was Lord I thank you Shouting … then I called Mrs.Tina and couldn’t hardly talk, I was so HAPPY !!!!! LDF School of Nursing Assistants is the place to be !!! 😘😘Carcilla Green

When I graduated high school I never really planned to go to a 4 year college because I wasn’t the sitting in the classroom type. Then I started kinda looking into something more hands on and then when I found Latrice and I started my journey I was definitely nervous but being around everyone there and being in such a great environment you will never be nervous again. I felt at home there. They are my sisters and always will be! If you ever want to feel at home while also being in school this place is where it’s at!! I will never be able to put into words on how great full I am for this school!!Karson Hiott

The first day I walked into the building, I knew I had made the right choice. I want to thank the LDFSNA for everything they have done for me. I left the school well equipped and ready for the workforce. I was offered a full-time position Monday-Friday with benefits one week after completing school. I genuinely thank Miss Tina for all you have done for me. If you want to climb the career path in health care, the LDFSNA is the place to go. I AM PROUD to be a daughter of the LDFSNA! I started as a student but left with sisters.Author Sabrina Milledge

My mother has lived at the Cascades in an independent living villa for almost two years and she loves it! When we started to evaluate her options for continuing care retirement communities, we knew she would be quickly uninterested in the dated decor, boring bingo game nights and a tasteless cafeteria menu most places had to offer. From our first tour of the campus with Mary Elyse and Stephanie, we both realized the Cascades is a special place where residents and team members know one another by name and foster an upscale and friendly community environment. Since COVID-19 began, the team at Cascades has done an amazing job at timely communicating valuable information to residents and their families and instituting health safety protocols to protect staff visitors, and residents, all while continuing to provide dining services from a full restaurant menu, fun events, outdoor activities and cultural enrichment programs within the Cascades that conform to the new public safety guidelines. Mom and the other residents trust the guidance of Cory as executive director and have so much fun with the Ed the social director. Mom has made so many friends there, both residents and team members and I can relax knowing she is so well looked out for by everyone there! Scott from dining services is so friendly and helps her keep her pantry stocked with essentials from the Cascades Market so she can avoid unnecessary trips to the grocery store (even though Target is just right outside the back gate for easy access if she needed it!) Marian at the front desk is always smiling and helped Mom feel right at home when she moved in and continues to be a friend. Mackenzie in the dining room and Sharon in housekeeping are also two of Mom’s fave Cascades ladies and their help is always so appreciated! All in all, the Cascades is a fun place to visit and according to Mom a fun place to live. She likens it to living in a cruise ship with no shortage of things to do! On a serious note, they are taking care to institute mandated and recommended COVID-19 safety protocols and making sure residents and team members are protected while also socially engaged and they are balancing it all very well. Thanks to the Cascades team for taking such great care of my Mom!Stewart Thompson

After moving from my large family home to living in a condo for many years, I realized that I now needed a home that could give me assistance when needed, security and remove concern about their mother from my family. I wanted to live as independently as feasible in a comfortable, friendly environment with a variety of activities for entertainment and self-improvement. After a few visits to Cascades-Verdae Greenville, SC, I knew there was such a place. My lovely apartment immediately felt like home, especially with my own furnishings. From my windows, I look out on a park-like setting with big trees, flowers, shrubs, fountains, walking path and benches for resting and visiting. Residents quickly became my friends and shared seats at the table for delicious meals, movies, programs, excursions, wellness activities, special events celebrations, clubs of interest and much more. Believe me, it is all there for you to enjoy, ask for assistance and feel a sense of family. Staff members are caring, fulfill your needs, enjoy their profession and most of all, want residents to be well and happy. I became a resident of Cascades-Verdae in March 2022. My days have been filled with fun activities, warm companionship, comfort, security and my family is at liberty to take a vacation.Shirley Twiss

I have lived at the Cascades for almost two years now—-and it is a wonderful place to live!! I visited many retirement communities in several states before deciding to move here. The Cascades fit my needs more than any other!! (And, one of the most wonderful things that has happened to me here is that I met a most wonderful gentleman and we were married in July!!!!!) The members are all unique in their backgrounds and accomplishments which tends to lend itself to the atmosphere for which I was looking!! The staff is great-especially Jenny Joyce!! She is definitely one of the most competent, caring individuals that I have ever known and the Cascades management and residents are blessed to have her!! Cascades is truly lovely!! The grounds are impeccably kept, the villas are spacious and the cottages are large and beautiful. However, after 10 plus years, the carpet in all the villa public areas are in need of replacement—which I'm sure will be happening very soon since this is a premier community and I'm sure corporate would not want to lose that status!!JoAnn Bauer

I took this program about 3 years ago, and I couldn’t help but to think about how beneficial it has been for me throughout the years. I took this course to get more hands on experience with patients as a CNA for PA school. Not only has it allowed me to learn the skills of providing patient care, it has also given me the confidence in providing patient care as well. Mrs. Studstill has taught me many valuable skill sets as well as morals that I will continue to carry with me throughout my journey towards becoming a PA. I definitely recommend taking this program. Mrs. Studstill is one of the best instructors out there. She only wants you to succeed.Vivian Nguyen

Mrs studstill is a great teacher she is very firm but she knows what she is doing. I am so thankful and blessed that I was accepted there she taught me a lot if you want to learn you need to go to her class you want regret it she always told us that we are Gods children and don’t let anyone put you down we can do anything we put our minds to. People have told me I couldn’t do things but she told me different and made me believe in myself. Well I made it I am a CNA and all I can say is thank you so much for everything Mrs studstill you are the best I met some wonderful friends there and we are all a family now.Tammie Cook

With years of prior knowledge in the medical field Mrs.Studstill helped me pass her class, and state testing my first time. By being 17, the youngest in her class, and still going to high school proves that this class was not a waste of time and was well worth it! She broke down, talked about, and explained all 10 chapters of our textbook/ workbook/homework book. With experience in the medicine she prepared us for anything that we may encounter or see out in the field. This was a fast paced class for the month I was in there and I’d 10/10 recommend it to anyone who is seeking knowledge in Nursing.Hallie Poulin

I absolutely loved the course they offered. My teacher Aisha Jones was and always will be the best. She made the class fun and pushed you to being great. She was incredibly motivational and has helped me out so much even after the class ended. The amount of support she offers is unmatched. The course its self is very fast paced and hands on, but everything you are taught is exactly what you need to know. I highly recommend getting your training done here, you won't be let down at all!!Hannah DiVittorio

I totally enjoyed this learning experience. I received the best hands on learning in this class. The instructors are awesome and know their stuff. Experienced and strictly by the book. I'm so happy that I decided that phlebotomy specialist was where I wanted to go. Give them a chance, great school. All of the teachers are very down to earth yet effective and professional. Ms. Vanna thank you for having so much patience with me, and as your student. I will forever be grateful!🙏🎓👏👏👏👍💖Angela Irby

Phlebotomy usa is the best place to get your certification!! Mrs A was the best teacher i could ever have. she went above and beyond for me to insure i have all the correct requirements and hands on experience that i will need to further my career. She was there every step of the way with amazing encouragement. Highly recommend Mrs. A and this school if you are looking to be a excellent phlebotomist !!!!katelynn hall
