It's a good starting school but extremely disorganized with idiots for employees. Dr Apple or apfel is a complete and total moron. She is so ungodly useless. She is extremely disorganized no wonder all of the students hate her. She wouldn't shake our hands because she said that's how germs are spread. Get rid of this delusional troll! She made an appointment for 12 and then when we got there said it was for 4pm. Um hello!? This school is so DISORGANIZED. If you're willing to put up with complete chaos for two years then go here. This school was better back in the day now it's a hell hole. The librarians are nice and some of the professors and the security officers are really nice but that's about it.Caitlin Campbell

Either believe the previous reviews of 'smelling like poverty and cigarettes', or understand that community college is the last place to find a living, breathing example of the American Dream. On top of that, NCC is the most well-funded community college, the most prestigious, and has the highest share of incredible professors than any other community college in the region. But it won't motivate you to succeed. You have to do that yourself. And if you do not find that drive within yourself in time, do not blame the college for your shortcomings. The opportunities are here and begging for you to take them.Ziggy Saks

This is a really good school if you’re all about your academics. I’ve had my good times and my bad times here at MCC. Overall on the academic side of MCC I appreciate all of the hard work that most of my professors have done. There are professors here that definitely need to be more qualified with what they are teaching as it has affected my grades when I’ve taken their courses. I am an Honor student here at MCC with a GPA of 3.30 and have never once had an issue with organization skills until my 2019 spring semester. A couple of the professors have been unorganized, no syllabus and sometimes they have other priorities when they have to teach a class in other words they put another professor in place when they have to go to another job. Although these were a couple of issues within my time here at MCC I enjoyed the experience of learning new knowledge for my future career. I really liked a lot of my professors but a couple of them have been a little rough. If you communicate with your professors about your issues that you’re having it really helps and shows that you’re determined to do your work and it shows you care about your work as well. Environment wise I’d have to say it’s not healthy (mentally/physically) and or good for many people. There have been students who have left garbage all over the place and don’t clean up after themselves which leads to maintenance having to clean it all up. With my time here I have helped maintenance clean up other people’s messes so they don’t have to worry about it as much. Also the amount of vaping, drug use, and underage drinking in the lounge is unacceptable and nothing has been done to take care of this issue except shutting the lounge down. I feel as if this does nothing but illustrates that they can go elsewhere within the college and do these things. An authority figure should really take this into consideration and do something about this because it affects others who have nothing to do with these people and it ruins people’s Health. You can smell weed from a mile away and if people have asthma or a health condition this could affect them physically. I do not appreciate this at all and I wish something was done about it. The other big issue environmentally is the fact that the main cafeteria can get very loud and some students have no manners and do not respect others around them. If they are asked to quiet down they do the opposite It has gotten to the point where a lot of people have complained and yet nothing is done to prevent this from happening again. The college needs to have some control over what students do and take action on these issues. I wish that there could be some changes here and I hope for the best for everyone at MCC. Overall it is a good school for your academics but is definitely not a mentally healthy place environmentally. Even if you try to get away and go somewhere else for privacy somehow drama follows behind you. A Tip would be after your classes go home if you can or go to the back of the library in the quiet study room. I wish everyone the best of luck here at MCC and hope that everything goes well.Carmella H

So I will start with sharing my positive highlights of the fall semester during covid. Some teachers were empathetic to the situation the entire nation went through. Prof. Muldoon did such an amazing job touching base and gaining clarity of students frustration and technical difficulties during this time. Prof Diane. Hillyer OMG if I were ever to be a college professor I’d want to have her passion and dedication. She’s a math angel, truly loves her job and her videos were perfect! Now chemistry online and labs online were a joke!!! The professor did not make enough office hours, used YouTube videos from other teachers, used repetitive templates for each week lesson with no data. If I wanted to learn chemistry that way I could’ve honestly gone on Edx.org for FREE and probably have learned the curriculum better. I might of missed 1 assignment and handed in 1 assignment 10 mins late and didn’t receive the grade or support needed. But unfortunately as a paying student I just have to deal with it, 2k down the drain! Funny thing I am also a teacher during covid and actually work in the building with student and never would I have ever made my students feel isolated like this professor did. I’ve never seen or heard my chemistry teachers voice but I’m pretty sure they got paid every two weeks while there’s probably many qualified teachers that could have done a way better job. I was warned about this professor but I learned the hard way. The school overall has a nice faculty and I feel like the majority do care. This is unfortunate when professor get so accustomed to a repetitive lifestyle because blackboard actually graded my exams so again not sure what some professor did during Covid behind the scene and so-called virtual teaching. This is a a good school to start or to get the credits needed for a post-Bach. I decided to go to a private school with a more dedicated team and more virtual teaching experience.Dignora Castillo

I was a potential international student and found Manchester Community College a great place to go. I called the first time and wasn’t able to talk to the responsible for international students but left my phone number and email. Umesh sent me an email saying he would give me a call. He did, two days later and was rude and impatient since the moment I picked up the phone and was acting like he was doing me a favor to call me. He said I should go back to my country and take my visa there instead of changing my status here, which is not up to him, was questioning how I was gonna become a student and more. I can’t even explain how rude and disrespectful he was to me who was just trying to make an appointment to go to the campus and get more informations in person about fees and the I20. I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone, specially for international students! Very disappointedRayane Michelle

I first came to Goodwin for a Manufacturing Career Fair on August 2014. My plan going in was to improve/expand my professional network but after introducing myself to the two ladies at the front door, I was escorted to the admissions office. During this impromptu meeting I learned of their range of Manufacturing programs ranging from a Collegiate Certificate to Bachelor's Degrees. The lady I met with was very nice so I decided to let her run through her whole pitch before refusing. After she finished running through her speech I was about to politely decline when my eyes fell upon a pamphlet detailing their Certificate in CNC Machining. My attitude switched from polite dismissal to serious consideration. By the time the holiday season was in force, I had officially enrolled. From the Spring 2015 – Fall 2016 semesters, I experienced the most fulfilling education of my life. Classes tailored to my major were taught by professors with real-life experience in the manufacturing field. Knowledge gained from operating machines in the school's shop helped me secure my first manufacturing based job (which at the time of this review, I have been at for over a year). Around two weeks ago I walked in the 2017 Commencement with my CNC Certificate AND Associate's Degree (Summa Cum Laude!!!). Making the choice to again become a student with Goodwin College is one I do not regret, in spite of my now increased loan debt. Looking for a quality education with real life application? This school should be on the top of your list!Trevor Deming

I graduated in 2006 with a General Business Degree the Staff and Faculty were all very helpful and on top of their jobs. I signed back for classes in 2013 for my Bachelor's Degree in Business unfortunately the staff and faculty changed in a Very Negative way. I had Mr. Rotondo as my Advisor who had me taking classes that i had previously taken also the Black Board Online classes system kept going down I another class were i completed the work on time but their system did not register my work it had been idled for 36 or more hours and never registered my work causing me a NS for the class this caused a snowball affect to the downfall of me no longer attending classes. I talked with Professor Valeria he advised i write some sort of letter which i did explaining the double classes Mr. Rotondo had me take due to him not paying attention to my previous classes for He was my teacher in 2004-2006. I wrote the letter and i have not heard Anything back from Goodwin They just cost my family Time and Money.Callie Faison

So far I love the complex, the professor are really nice and helpful. They want you to pass the class for sure. The only thing I can complain is for the service of Financial Aid. I am a transfer from Lincoln College and when I was about to change they explain me that it would be cheaper or about the same. Before classes start I went to Financial Aid to see how much it was going to cost me, but they didn't have any information of me yet. Then I received a message saying "to not go to financial aid" I could start right away. I went again the day before start and they couldn't tell me anything. They charge already for the semester, it shown in my credit report, this is my third week of class and I do not even know if is the same as Lincoln, more expensive or less.Christian Diaz

I have to admit, after being accepted to the Master's program early in 2014 I was nervous attending graduate school. I was unsure of what type of situations I would encounter, and what type of curriculum I would face. After the first day of orientation, I knew that the University of Bridgeport was the best choice for me. The staff and professors in my department are extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. The classes I have taken have not only improved educational leadership qualities, but have also helped improve my mathematical prowess. Although the classes may seem difficult at time, my professors demonstrated an excellent balance in challenging students while holding their interest. I have created many long lasting friendships as well with the students in my program. In concurrence with our education progress, we find ourselves continuously engaging in a sort of fellowship that I have not experienced elsewhere. In essence, the phrase "work hard, play harder" seems fitting. We have fun in class, and we get to work when we need to. I find that my professors are equally as entertained as my fellow students, helping to aid in the maintenance of the positive climate in the classrooms. If anyone reading this is nervous or unsure of their decision to attend the University of Bridgeport, as someone who previously felt the same way I offer the following advice: don't be. This is a phenomenal University with amazing programs and a delightful professional staff. They will help guide you to success by any means necessary. If you put the work in, keep a positive attitude, and remember to have fun, I promise you that the University of Bridgeport won't let you down.Philip Abraham

I am currently a freshman at UB almost finishing my first semester, I am majoring in the health sciences and hopefully 4 years from now I will be doing my masters in Chiropractic. I came to America all the way from Indonesia, I studied at an international school so I have met people from many different countries and cultures, UB made me feel like I never left that sense of living in an international environment because of all the diverse cultures that you find here. Professors, Students and Staff are very open and very supportive if you need any help and the fact that UB is a very small school makes it a better sense of community among students. Classes are good and challenging, resources are provided if in the need of help just like tutoring or counseling. I had the chance to make many close friends in just a few months from different backgrounds, friends that have become a second family to me. Although the distance from my family is too long I feel like I've found a new place that I can call home for the next 7 years. I do not regret my choice.Leonardo Castiglioni

As a current undergraduate student studying International Political Economy and Diplomacy (IPED), I've had nothing short of a wonderful experience at UB. I can only speak for my major, but I love my program. Most of my classes are engaging, and my teachers are always available to talk and answer questions outside of class which is much appreciated. The thing that I love most about UB is the diversity. Especially studying in a internationally focused major, there's a huge difference in talking about events throughout the world, and actually hearing a first person perspective from someone who is from that country. My best friend is from Syria! Of course there's a few things I would change, but overall I am really happy with my experience so far.Virginia Orman

This place is a perfect example of “you get what you pay for”. I attended September 2009 – May 2018 (with a 3 year gap from 2012-2015). The hospitality teachers and department head were wonderful, and a lot of my general Ed teachers were amazing too and I have nothing but great things to say about the teachers. However, the registrar office and academic advisors were a nightmare to deal with. No one ever smiles, my message NEVER got relayed to the right person, and it was such a headache to deal with offices equivalent to dealing with the DMV. They also claimed that when you graduate you can transfer your credits to a state college which is false. Some of the credits transferred, but classes like Math don’t transfer and I have to take a placement test to get into the same exact math class I took at Gateway and passed the class with an A. The bookstore staff was the most incapable, rude, useless group of people. Graduation was a completely unorganized joke – they told graduates to arrive 2 hours early to stand in a parking lot with no instruction and 1 porta potty for about 300 people. They also only announce 1 of your degrees – so if you have 3 degrees they won’t even take the extra 5 seconds to announce all 3 (I thought graduation was supposed to recognize your achievements?) I would have never wasted my time going to graduation if I knew how pathetic it would be. Parking on campus in New Haven was crazy and the lot constantly overflows into the Temple Street lot so you get to walk in stairways that smell like urine with bums roaming the lot and drunk people stumbling to their car after your class at 9:30 at night with no security guards to get to your car. Literally no security whatsoever like your completely on your own in a public lot in the heart of New Haven. Like most schools, they don’t allow weapons inside the building so you don’t even have a way to defend yourself if you get approached in the lot which will happen at some point. There were also hospitality classes that I had to buy things out of pocket and was promised reimbursement that never happened.Nina Tiso

I loved working with the children in the Early Learning Center, but the adults in the classroom didn't really treat me that well. They didn't really accommodating me that well when it came to tasks such as setting the table for breakfast,lunch, and snack. A coworker got nasty because I wasnt moving fast enough for her. I'm visually impaired and I have to take my time because of my vision. I had to complain about this coworker 2 times. Another thing that didnt make sense was I had to walk to the other side of campus to eat lunch for my 30 minute break. The teacher of the classroom would get mad at me for being late because I am a slow eater and I cant move fast again because of my bad vision. student teachers aren't allowed to eat in the teachers lounge. I shouldn't have had to complain to my boss about eating in the teacher lounge. This place needs to be more accommodating to student teachers with disabilities and staff needs to be more compassionate. I am very glad that I don't work at this place anymore! I wish the adults would learn compassion from the children!Jasmyn Polite

Beautiful atmosphere. I was in their old building on Long wharf years ago, and seeing how they've grown and progressed into what I consider a university now, is life changing for the people attending this college. For a community college, they offer so much for the students with assistance as well as their educational endeavors. Their cafe offers delicious varieties which includes a wide range of healthy choices. Very inviting environment for the students to learn in. I get the feeling that this University cares about the students that attend itDelbra Wilson

Hunter Business School helped me find a career that not only changed my life, but completely fell in love with. Covid was a blessing in disguise for me, and really made me evaluate how I'm going to change my life for the better. With being let go from my mundane office job, this was my opportunity to find a not only a stable career, but something rewarding as well. When the idea of radiography came up, I thought "This could be something I can do" and started researching school all around Long Island. HBS landed as my #1 choice. This program was not only affordable, but I would've started my career a whole year later if I attended the program at NCC. I would've been stuck taking prerequisite classes, since my college credits were more than 10 years old. With HBS, it didn't matter how long I had been out of school. I was given the same opportunity whether I was straight out of high school or changing careers later in life. Not only that, but with the accelerated program, I graduated before other schools were done and that gave me a head-start on finding a job. Last week I graduated from the Radiologic Technologist program, and I already have two dream jobs waiting for me. Today I passed my registry for my license, and I couldn't have done with without the dedicated staff at HBS. While the courses were content heavy, they made everything so clear and easy to learn, and were there for us when we needed the extra help. Without them, I wouldn't be the ARRT licensed radiologic technologist I am today.Nadin Kayserian

Attending this school has saved my life. It gave me purpose. The program showed me that I’m much stronger than I thought! I graduated in February 2021 from the x-ray technologist program. The faculty is amazing and very motivating. Many times I felt like the work was too hard, but I didn’t give up, and the teachers (especially Abe) really helped to keep me focused on my goals. So many doors have opened up for me since I graduated from the program. What’s even better is that the school helps you find a job! I graduated from NCC and John Jay prior to attending this school, and neither one of those institutions helped me get a job. In addition, the teachers at the other universities were not nearly as helpful and attentive compared to the teachers at Hunter business school. If it wasn’t for this program and all the amazing things it offers, I truly do not know where I would be today! I am eternally grateful for this school and their programs. Looking back, I have nothing but positive memories here. It was a wonderful learning experience! Abe is the best teacher ever. He’s very down to earth and engages with the students in such a way that it makes class more fun and it makes material easier to learn. 5 stars!!!Samantha Bieniek

I’ve been attending Hunter business school Xray tech program for almost a year and I can honestly say it’s the best decision I’ve ever made. Usually Xray programs are 24 months, Hunters is 16 months(shorter but fast paced)5 days a week so it’s very time consuming. You need to be 100% dedicated and contribute most of your days studying BUT it’s so worth it at the end! Being out of school for a few years it was nerve wrecking to get into the flow of things, but because of the instructors(Mr.Abe, Mrs. Aggey, & Mrs. Joy) they continuously motivate you to be an amazing tech. Because of my lovely instructors they have molded me into a great tech making sure to be tedious to little details in this field and providing excellent care for future patients. I can’t thank Mr. Abe enough for giving me this opportunity and believing in me! Hunter has changed my life and has made me gain such a great career path and a new RAD TECH family ! Who ever is questioning about a new career path or scared…DO IT! YOU WONT REGRET IT!Nicole Scammacca

Do not waste your money. This school is a rip-off. My daughter took the EKG and Phlebotomy courses and throughout both courses only received one day of clinical in each area and they were not full days of practice since the school does not use manikins and the students had to practice the phlebotomy on each other and they could not stick each other but so many times…smh. Upon completion, my daughter received the run around trying to get an internship, and during the one internship interview that she went on the doctor told her that she really did not have anything for her as she was just asked to take another intern who was a relative of someone at the school, but she didn't what to tell my daughter no over the phone. She just had her waste her time and gas so she could experience an interview and tell her no in person…really? The school looked like a waste of time from the beginning and I should have gone with my instincts and gone to a reputable program.B. Manuel

I did my ultrasound course from here and my experience was great . Dr. Ayub and his lectures was awesome and he is always there for you in any guidance or questions even after completion of the course. The good thing is that they give hospital internships placement which actually enrich our skill and opportunities to learn varieties of cases and makes you confident. After the completion of the course they also help you for job opportunities which is really helpful as a beginner. Currently working in a radiology place and of course highly recommend this place.Dipa Denis

I would just like come on here and say thank you to my teacher Trisha. I don’t believe I would have been able to get through this course with out her. I took this course to have a better future for my son and I and she helped me accomplish that. She cares for her students and is such a wonderful person. I owe her a lot and just wanted to say thank you for working with me and my peers to achieve the goals we set forth for ourselves. So, thank you ms. Trisha for all the hard work you did and taking us all a step further in life.Alexus Hanie

I do NOT recommend this school! Honestly I was excited to go here and looking forward with completing this course. I went here for the EMT Basic Program. Let us start from the beginning. On the website they have a price of how much you would pay, but when you get there they tell you something completely different. Then they say the offer financial aid for EMT or payment plans, but when I asked to do it they said they don't do financial aid yet it says it online. So I offered to do a payment plan and they said that I couldn't, so I said okay then I won't attend. All of a sudden it's ok we can do a payment plan, that should've been my cue to not attend. Next the clinical person David, is really unpleasant. He talks to you as if you are beneath him, he is just rude. The course is rushed, if you did not go to school before or have a degree like myself, I don't recommend. The pace is too fast and they teaching is all over the place. Third they have this computer course online which is basically the computer reading what's in the textbook out loud. Unfortunately, that is why I failed because I missed two readings that had little quizzes in them. Which made no sense to me because I like to read the book myself than off the computer. Also, because of that they gave make up courses and two exams to take and said if I passed it, they would allow me to pass the class. I PASSES THEM AND THEY STILL SAID THEY COULD HELP. All the want is your moneyyyyyy!Ri. Marie

I should have read ALL of the reviews on this "school." I was really super excited about coming here but they are all about the $$ and don't care about your education. The clinical clearance coordinator, David Izso, is NOT friendly at all. He called me multiple times about a vaccination that I had to wait to get due to doctor appts being booked out and was talking to me if I was a child. Very unprofessional. They terminated me on a Friday, 4 days before the next semester, and a holiday weekend for failing ONE class after allowing me to take a makeup final for another class knowing I was already going to be terminated. They booted me off my portal, I had no access to ANY grades, my agreement signed through the school email, or even access to the other portal where I was messaging my professor. I have friends in nursing SCHOOLS in NYC that are allowed to pay and makeup a class failed after the first time. This school, no. They want me to apply again to just take more money from me. They hounded me everyday to pay my balance but when you want to speak to someone in regards to grades they just send you to voicemail and terminate you. I do not recommend CAHE. Save your $$ and do your research just like most of these reviews say.Brianna Tetefsk

I graduated from the paramedic program yesterday and I wanted to just share some information with anyone reading this. I joined the Full-Time Paramedic program and have had a wonderful experience. The program is rigorous but I found the course load to be very doable. The program leadership (David Skolnick and Joel Abraham) really works with each individual student to ensure they are able to succeed and become competent prehospital providers. They had many opportunities to do clinical rotations at various agencies throughout NYC and upstate NY. About 1 quarter into my program, they updated a lot of their equipment as well. Overall, I am very happy to have been trained by CAHE and highly recommend it to anyone looking to join become an EMT or Paramedic.Shulem Rosenbaum

If you want to kickstart your career in the medical field look for no further. MCI offered me an amazing opportunity to posses a unique set of skills that can make an impact on peoples’ lives. Dr. Kalam is very knowledgeable and brings real life examples to his classroom to foster better understanding of difficult concepts. He listens to his students concerns, answers questions, goes over material if not understood and gives hands on experience outside of lab/classroom hours to students who need it. He has a very calm and patient approach to teaching. Applying to MCI is definitely one of the best devious I’ve made.Diana Markman

I attended MCI’s DMS program from 2020-2022. I owe all my success to Dr. Kalam and Pat Walker for being excellent teachers. Dr. Kalam helped me in the classroom and was part of the reason I passed both my SPI and OBGYN on the first try. He is an amazing instructor, both in the classroom and in the lab. He genuinely cares about his students and their success. Pat Walker helped my scanning abilities so much throughout the duration of this program and again cares about each and everyone of her students. Not only was she a great scanning teacher, but she was an amazing clinical coordinator during my externship as well.Ashlynn Waldhelm

The Diagnostic Medical Sonography program at MCI is fantastic. Dr. Kalams experience and knowledge of ultrasound is what every student could hope for in a professor. He not only prepares you for working as a sonographer but has extensive knowledge in prepping students for their boards. Finding an accredited school locally with a small class size was a huge bonus! I would highly recommend this program to any future student who is willing to put in the time, effort and focus to become a very knowledgeable entry level sonographer.Ellen Gibson

I started the electrical program in June of 2021 and had a pleasant experience to start. I was in a class with about twelve other students and felt that I was learning and retaining information adequately partly due to the class size. Fast forward a few months and our class has almost quadrupled in size. Half of the class is required to sit in one room and watch the instructor on a projector while he is in another room with the other half of the class. It is now to the point where students have to rely on other students to teach them certain things because of how thin the instructors have been stretched. I, as well as numerous other students, have voiced their displeasure with administration multiple times but we've essentially been told that it's something were gonna have to deal with. I can't speak highly enough on behalf of the instructors Mr. Sterling and Mr. DeFelice who clearly care about their student's education, but it is evident that Lincoln Tech (New Britain) as a whole does not. I can't speak on behalf of the other Lincoln Tech campuses but I imagine they are run similar. If you are someone looking at tech schools I implore you to look at all your options.Tyler Mattioda

When I first applied it was to go into the nursing program but I was discouraged by the person I met with. She said since I was a single parent it would be hard for me to take and keep up with classes and referred me to apply to the medical assistant program instead which I reluctantly did. (Big mistake) even though I had made deans list, was one of the top in the class grades wise and had a 3.76 gpa I was placed last for an "externship" and then when placed I was placed in a small office that didn't need an extra medical assistant. I didn't get a job and wasn't helped securing one either. I was so pissed I didn't even show to graduation! I also aced my Registration exam the first time and was THE only person in my class to get registered or certified. I wasted time away from my child and had to take out two loans I'm STILL paying for with nothing to show. I always discourage people from going here because it's not worth it. And the kicker!!! Placed want at least a year or 2 experience before they hire you so it's extremely hard to find work when you only get less than a months training in your field! Would've been better off at a community college or 4 year school.kanosha norman

I looked into this school a few years ago, and when i showed up to take the tour they said i first had to sign in by writing my name and phone number down on the sign-in sheet. I felt uncomfortable doing this, but they wouldn't give me the tour unless I provided them with my phone number for some reason. Well, it turns out that the reason is so that they can continue to sent you text messages begging you to attend their school, even several years after you already decided not to. Blocking the number doesn't work either as they use a different number each time. If you decide to look into this school, i *highly* recommend providing them with a fake phone number when you sign in.Andrew Preston

Amazing teachers, especially imad, who brought me from an inexperienced student to a legitimate certified phlebotomist, and “dr.trisha” (dont know how to spell her last name) who equiped me with all the necessary knowledge for the medical world and phlebotomy. My experience in this school was a 5/5 to say the very least and anybody thinking about getting started in the medical field should give austin medical a strong consideration as this school truly wants you to succeed. They have a variety of programs for you to choose from, its affordable, staff is respectful, teachers are very likeable, friendly and know their stuff, and youll honestly want to come back even if you graduate, which you can if you want to keep practicing phlebotomy to keep your skills sharp.Andres Almeida

The teachers I had for my phlebotomy course were amazing. We had Dr. Abeer for our lectures and she always ensured everyone understood the curriculum. She prepped us for any quizzes and finals and always offered extra help. Kerlos was our lab instructor and I loved his teaching style. He was able to make his class fun and educational while catering to every student’s needs. Most importantly they both worked together and made me feel confident by the end of my course!sara ibrahim

Before I signed up for the phlebotomy class I researched extensively all the options in NYC. This is the only one that will actually provide hands on experience and prepare you for real patients- no dummy arms. Both the lecturer (Dr. Abeer) and the lab instructor (Carlos) are amazing. It was a very fun, comfortable and safe learning experience. Atleast within NYC, I don’t think any other program can compete.Marawan Ibrahim

I’ve debated on weather or not to post but everyone asks me if I would recommend this school. The teachers there are amazing, they want to make sure you learn and know what you are doing. To be honest once you get to clinical they forget about you. I asked for help on multiple occasions because I was struggling with a protocol, I was told “we will put a schedule for you to come to the school with a teacher to learn more and you will go to the hospital one day a week” this was in addition to be already being at a clinic site 5 days a week. That never happened, I was told during one meeting when I asked to switch to vascular so I can have that experience on my resume that if the general site I was at now liked me I should stay because if I make a good impression they will let other students go to that site. I give credit to my teachers but that’s about the only good thing I can say about this school. I’ve had employers say they won’t hire if you go to this school because of the reputation. I know they’ve made changed and added staff since I graduated last summer but I would suggest making sure you do all your research on what accreditation’s the school actually has before making your choice on where to get your education. I thankfully was able to find a job on my own many months afterwards. Do your research and look up their accreditation’s before signing any contract with them.Lindsey Genovese

I recently graduated from AIHT, Cardiovascular Technology program. I did my clinical hours at Windham Hospital in Willimantic where I got hired right after. During covid, I realized how important the healthcare field was so I decided that I wanted to pursue my career in the medical field. After searching for and touring a few schools in my area I chose the AIHT ultrasound program. Lauren and Ravish were very helpful explaining all the steps and processes. As a single mother, AIHT’s flexible hybrid program enabled me to balance my personal life and school schedule really well. Upon completion of my clinical hours I felt really confident about my knowledge and felt comfortable taking the CCI board exam. I scored a 845 and officially became Registered Cardiac Sonographer. Finally, I want to thank all of the instructors and staff at AIHT for enabling me to start my new journey in the medical field as a Cardiac Sonographer.Yossinee Israsena

I'm very happy I found AIHT school which fit into my schedule and was close to my house. All the professors and administrators were good and helpful. I'm very THANKFUL for having KRISTEN & DONALD as ECHO scanning instructors because they really benefited me and made a great impact in my career. They are very knowledgeable and have plenty years of experience. They were very helpful and prepared me for the hospital environment. Stamford hospital crew were amazing and I can't thank them enough for helping me pursue my true dream. I'm overall thankful for the program. It is deff not easy just be prepared to put in the time, effort, and to study hard.Madeleyn C

I LOVE THIS SCHOOL!!! My interest in the human body and how it fully function is a long passion of mine. American Institute, Clifton campus has made this the best experience ever. The patient and extremely helpful staff like Mike, make the huge problem seem so minimal, and resolved quickly. The instructors give great lecture, making it easy to retain and stay on track with your work load. Adding wit and humor helps communicating so much easier. Their dedication and commitment to graduating great Therapist is the goal, and i am proud to be a part of accomplishments.Q Infinite Mecca BTBTV

I am a student at AI the teachers and students create a wonderful enjoyable environment and a great learning place for me! The teachers take their time and make sure you are on the right track with your program. Mike P. is pretty awesomeSammy Sweetheart

I just started school October 25th and i love it so much so far. Terry and Mike are both very nice and karina from financial aid is also very helpful and sweet. This school is a very great environment and i am excited for my future here.jaime

I’ve been studying at Hunter’s Medford Campus since early November and absolutely loved the school, staff and the classes I’ve taken to date both in classroom and on line. I’m halfway through their 600 hour course to be a Medical Office Admimistrator and can honestly say that I am very impressed with the instructors we’ve had so far. They’re knowledgeable about the subjects they’re teaching and have the talent to explain the material in multiple ways to ensure the students all understand the content and concepts completely. The staff at every level at Hunter is extremely open and friendly, which enables the students to feel comfortable to ask for help if needed. The staff is also continually checking in with all of the students to make sure everything is going well and there are no concerns. Hunter also has multiple morale boosting social activities timed throughout the year, usually involving food and/or costumes to allow everyone to mingle, relax and enjoy a little social time together periodically. The entire Hunter experience, in my opinion, has been wonderful. It combines the best aspects of the academic, social and business worlds into one concise package to prepare students for a career in the medical world. I would highly recommend this program to anyone interested in this program.Lorraine Agostine (Rainey)

I came to Hunter Business School to get my career started in the medical field to get a good paying job. My experience with Admissions has been good and everyone that works there is extremely kind. Financial Aid is great and they make it easy to understand the process for all the information about financial aid that has to be done. Career Services has been helpful with our class about getting all of our documents together that we need to graduate. My education experience has been so much fun. All of the teachers are very nice and help out every student to make sure they really understand the course. There is nothing I would say that needs to be changed or improved at Hunter. Overall Hunter Business School has been a wonderful experience.holly anne fox

This school is terrible, do not waste 15 grand here. You end up teaching yourself, most of the instructors are rude, CHILDISH, and treat you like little kids. They have 0 respect for you. Don’t get me started on administration… they gaslight you & allow the disrespect of the teachers. Don’t waste your money, go to boces.also we were lied to that this is in person teaching monday-thursday & fridays online, however, you’re at home 99% of the time, and on top of that, you dont know your schedule until the week of. So if you have kids, this school is not suitable for parents with childcare.Claudia Strzesak

The way that I would like to start this off is by saying this is the best school I’ve ever attended. Kathy from administration helped me by making sure I understood everything that I needed to. Then Whitley and Jenna from financial aid helped me by making everything in that area easy as pie. After that came one of the best teachers I’ve ever had Beth. She made sure that we understood that the Medical Coding and Billing program was not going to be easy and to be ready to not have a social life outside of school which was not a joke at all. My program was supposed to be 40 weeks (10 months) and with the pandemic it got extended to 15 months. After everything the school was very helpful and also made sure we were safe when the school opened up after being closed due to the pandemic. Emilie and Beth are always there to help out and even do one on ones if needed. The biggest shout out is to the owner of the school Chris Coutts. This is because after I completed my program I was offered to take 3 practice CPC exams and if I passed the owner would pay to take the actual CPC exam. This was completely out side out our program cost. Thanks to Chris Coutts I took my CPC exam on 12/4/2021 and got my results on 12/10/2021 that said I passed. If you are looking to start a new chapter in life and are thinking about Medical Coding and Billing I strongly encourage you to go to American Institute.Rotsen Pizarro

I absolutely love The American Institute. The West Hartford Campus is absolutely amazing. Ever since enrolling with Jason my life has been positively progressing. Jason signed me up back in august. He told me how great this school is as well as the director of my program who is also my teacher, Beth Canny. She is an outstanding, loving, caring teacher. She makes herself available for help at any hour of the day. She always has an open door, and can always assure you that you are capable of this program. She’s hands down the most amazing teacher I’ve personally ever had and I’m so grateful to be apart of the AI family. Jason was awesome in telling me about the program and how nice this school truly is. The school always has its students at heart, and not only while in the building but at home as well. They are always finding ways to help students needs. I am constantly telling family and friends about how amazing the American Institute is.Danielle Dzienciol

I started at American Institute in September 21' for medical assisting on an impulse decision & it's been one of the best choices I've ever made. I called and within 30 minutes Jason called me back to see the campus. He made my choice to register so so easy. I've always wanted to be in the medical field and this school just felt like the place to start my journey. My teachers have been AMAZING. They are so so knowledgable and if they see you care, they will help you succeed by all means. Just in 2 months I've learned so much. I've never done so well in school and I am just so grateful to have found this school. I have also made amazing friendships with likeminded and motivated women. Ignore the bad reviews..If you put in the work, you will have a great experience. If you are motivated and want to start your career in the medical field, this is an amazing place to start!!!!Olivia Lanza

I went to Housatonic right out of high school. From fall 2012 to winter 2015, I attended. The professors were professional and helpful. I could email or call or see them during their office hours if I needed to speak (I prefer in person). All the professors I had were passionate and knowledgeable. I transferred from the science program to the fine arts program. The school and my advisor were helpful in this transition. (Personally, every process/interaction was quick and easy) It was a great choice for me. I found the fine arts department to be a great group of people. Very dedicated and all successful in their fields. They didn't just become teachers, they had/have careers and are extremely talented. A little quirky, but what artist isn't? They really helped me improve my art and gave me advice on selling my art. Aside from the actual classes, my favorite part was the fantastic cafeteria. Honestly, I still go back! I still wander around downtown sometimes – that's where HCC is. Its not idyllic but its not as tough as the streets of Manhattan. There's a few oddballs but in 2 years of night courses I never felt unsafe. There's good restaurants and a few shops, concerts in the summer. I graduated and transferred to an art college, almost all of my credits transferred. I'm at a smaller college now, to get my BA, and I miss the convenience of being in a downtown area, near a park and print shop, and really miss the cafe !Christine Jones

This place is the worst. I had the worst experience with an advisor who tried to advise me in the lobby of the building. She basically asked me why I was there…. Then tried to advise me to go to every other department so she would have to do the bare minimum??? Security guards at every door, not kind ones either they definitely don't make it a warm and friendly campus. Seems like they're trying to protect themselves from more that just Covid. The financial aid office is a mess, and the enrollment process was ugh…. They basically didn't know how to add my Transcript credit aside from them sort of losing my Transcripts which the head guy admitted, and looked at me asking if I had any unofficial ones on me…?. The 3 stars are for their professors, they were lovely. The school is trash though go to NCC instead especially if you value professionalism and can do advisement.E J

Housatonic community college Is one of the Best Colleges I have attended. Academically, and socially, this college is well rounded. HCC has Great teachers, that honestly want to see their students succeed.i can only tell you this because this was me, a student who was extremely stressed about the material and course work. Enrolling into HCC from a pervious college, I did not have the funds for school. when I applied for a HCC scholarship I was more than fortunate To have Received grant.YES from School. I have totally made the correct choice to attend HCC. I was nervous at first, but it’s the realization Of coming out of your comfort zone, to achieve your goals and aspirations. I am truly blessed and more than thankful to attend Housatonic community college. Thanks for providing me a nice environment, and more important great food from the great chefs in the kitchen!Yessica URENA-almonte

I had a great experience here. Staff went above and beyond to help me. Definitely a big improvement from when I went there 15 years ago. Hopefully they can have a bigger influence on the town of Winsted. Very good, progressive, and influential atmosphere. They truly care and that matters.Nea Restivo

I've been going here for a while and everyone is nice, the classes are excellent, tutors, everything about it is wroth stopping by and taking a look.Michael Vichiola

One of the best times of my life! The teachers and staff are amazing. It is so easy to get along with everyone and the atmosphere is so laid back!STUDIO C DANCE COMPANY

As a former student I can say that CURE really cares about their students and their mission to train the best Ultrasound Technologists out there. The program is designed to set students up for success if they're willing to put in the time and effort necessary to succeed. (Not everyone does) The school is fully staffed with instructors who are all registered techs themselves. The support staff is very available, and really cares about every individual student. Students who fulfill their program hours and classes graduate registry eligible. Anyone who has written a negative review about lack of jobs has either not taken the registry test (they spent their entire program preparing for), or has not put any effort into finding a job. The school gets calls constantly asking to hire CURE graduates. I know plenty of graduates happily and successfully working in their field. As with anything in life, you get back what you put in. If you want a career in Ultrasound this is THE program that will completely train and develop you to be one of the best techs out there. You can't beat the 3 day/week schedule either. It allows you to have a life.Amanda Murasso

This school is horrible! Do not apply to this school. They do not have teachers. Maybe at least 1 or 2 for the 4 classes that they have. The teachers that are there barely know what they are talking about. The staff is never available to to help you. Everyone there pretty much signs up than a month later or less ends up quiting(Including staff).There are NO externship sites that wants to partnership w/ cure. Students spends months home not having a site to go to. Going to this school you will learn nothing. They will paint this fairy tale story in your mind that this is the place to be but you will waste all your money coming here. Not to mention the crazy cost of this thing. No stars if you ask me. Karen emailed students to write a positive post for good reviews lol.Unknown User

I’m in my last quarter before my externship and I feel so excited to start my externship! I’ve had a great experience at this school over the past year and feel so prepared for my externship. I’ve had teachers that have answered all my questions and I would recommendthis school to anyone looking to pursue a career in ultrasound!Kristen Posimato

My one star is not for the school itself, it's for the staff in this school. If you want to see nasty attitudes go here. Applying for school you're greeted by dirty looks and or the "what do you want look". They make you not want to go into the office. The people in the business office are no help, the dean is NEVER available, and God forbid you have financial issues (fees added after programs/classes were paid in FULL), They Don't help… even with receipts. If I was to give 5 stars, it would go the bookstore. Those ladies are the best in customer service. They greet you, answer questions, and have no issues point you the right direction. If you ask me they should be the ones working in the administration office. They make you feel welcomed.Yahaira M

Almost impossible to get done what you want done in a reasonable time. Going to take me an extra year for literally 1 class because they don’t have enough seats for me, won’t overfill seats, and overall because they didn’t seem to set my schedule up the way it should’ve been my freshman year so that this didn’t happen. Looks like I’m quitting with an Assosiates and going to trade school because I’m not going to keep paying thousands of dollars for me to not be going anywhere. No help from anyone, easier to go somewhere else.Nora Homicki

I attended this school as late as 2008. This school is of terrible quality. With few outliers, the teaching staff I encountered was "bottom of the barrel". My 'veteran' math teacher, spoke English as a second language! I did poorly at this school, and yet, I had never been a poor performing student in the past. Thankfully, I finished my degree elsewhere with a much higher GPA. I would describe myself as creative & a self starter.John Appleman
