20 Best Sonography Programs In New Haven, CT (2022 Updated)

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

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

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

First and foremost, Norwalk Community College was the first two-year college known since 1960, and they have been serving and assisting students in achieving the school readiness you have always desired but if you have struggled at some point. NCC will assist you in overcoming your obstacles to the point where you feel smart, confident, and accomplished. This college is my top choice because it is affordable, not overcrowded, has a super clean and safe building, and has no historically known hate crime in the area, which is an A+ in today's environment. There is plenty of parking, as well as the best tutoring center, which is a lifeline for students who want to improve their grades or need assistance with the curriculum. NCC carry the highest standard. They have the best tutoring service and professors who are committed to assisting students. All you have to do if you need help navigating any area at NCC is ask. The wonderful staff is always friendly and helpful. Thank you, NCC. Continue to assist students to become the best versions of themselves.🤛🏼👊🏿🤝Laura S

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 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

I went here for my first two years of college. Here's what I've noticed. – The people here are great, for the most part. – UNH emphasizes on a welcoming environment – There's always new development like the Bergami center which is a very nice looking building. – I lived in Westside and Winchester halls. Both are good! – I was in Engineering which I struggled in, but when I changed my major to accounting I had no struggle. – I just really wish UNH was more helpful with finance and mental health. – They were WAY too strict with Covid. Yes, I understand the dangers, but we're adults you have to remember. They threatened to suspend if you violate rules, even accidentally. They also quarantined my entire hall in 2020 just because one student got covid. I really didn't believe they had to be that harsh. – They were also TERRIBLE with communication when moving in for my 2nd year (because of covid), and I had to spend a month trying to figure out when to move in. – The Accessibility resources center is a good place, but once they forbid me from using a calculator on a chemistry exam in March of 2020. Everybody but the ARC staff thought that was terrible. – Their math department was terrible. The professors meant well, but it was not taught in an interesting way. – On a positive note, they are fantastic at safety. In January of 2021 I got cyberbullied by someone in the school who made threats including a death threat. The ResLife dept. handled it very well and the police took it very seriously and found the guy doing it, someone who I thought was a friend. He was suspended. Overall, UNH is not perfect, but their heart is in the right place. I didn't leave for any of these reasons listed, that's another story entirely. But if you are Nick, Chris, Lucas, Antonia, Victoria, Makayla, Jenna, Galianna, Alexa, or Patrick, I miss you!James Shewan

I attended UNH between spring 2019 and January 2021 (two years) as a transfer, and earned a Bachelor's degree in Criminal Justice (Investigative Services Concentration). I am giving this school 3 stars because excluding a very good academic experience, there were too many low moments I experienced at UNH for me to give this review more stars. These low moments range from lack of opportunities for commuter students (which is what I was for 3/4 semesters), existing social circles that prevent prospective students from feeling any sense of belonging, the school's fostering and promotion of the word "LatinX", and other things. (Mainly because I am a Latino/Hispanic male originally from South America, and don't see how the word is applicable to the Central/South American community). The pandemic did affect the college experience in spring 2020, but my experience was already going downhill well before this. For these reasons, I feel as though this was an era of my life that never happened. Above all, I find it difficult to talk about this era and school in more positive (than negative) ways. I do recommend this school for my degree. My professors did an excellent job of teaching me. But it all does come at a cost because setbacks or letdowns (described above) can quickly affect a student's experience. Likewise, I am considering graduate school here because my professional job search opened my eyes to how graduate degrees are becoming the new standard for the U.S workforce. Hope this helps.Marc Conrad

The beauty of this school is not just about the academic excellence and great facilities, but the diversity; it’s almost as if every nationality is represented here. Everyone is friendly from the students to the academic staffers, non-academic staffers, to the school security operatives. When I visited this school I observed wheelchair accessibility is greatly adhered to in this institution. I also noticed there’s a 24/7 Wells Fargo Bank ATM point on this campus. Consequently, you will always have access to cash. When you school here you also get to enjoy the magnificence of New Haven, West Haven and most of all New York City, since it’s just less than an hour ride with your car or via the Metro-North Train. This school is pretty close to road and be easily noticed from a vehicle in normal traffic. #NewHaven #WestHaven #UNH #University #AcademicsExcellence #CT #Connecticut #OnGoogleMaps #Google #LetsGuide #GreatFacilities #WheelchairAccessible #KnowledgeU-roy Felix Agboli

Although my professors have been awesome, the university as a whole is horribly disorganized and mismanaged. The various staff of different departments are uniformly rude and uninformed. I've gotten wrong and/or misleading information on basic protocol literally EVERY SINGLE TIME I've spoken with someone (where do I submit work study requests? Can I still carry student insurance if I'm part-time?) Regarding the insurance, I was told "yes" by 2 different pople. HOWEVER, the answer to that is it's automatically cancelled when you register online for classes and it is received as part-time, so then you have to re-enroll as a new client at a higher rate. I found this out when I was trying to fill a prescription and after much investigation found out that my insurance had been cancelled. This is one of the MANY problems I've experienced with Southern administration. Equally as faulty, is the technology "services" that Southern uses. Windows 7 computers in the computer labs that take (no joke) 5-20 mins to log you on if there are more than 3 people in the room and remote printing that requires an installation on your laptop every time you want to use it. This is recommend since you'll otherwise sit for 20 mins for the lab computer to log on and then progress to opening and printing a file at the speed of dial-up. If you need to reach anyone (computing services, the bookstore) for questions, you'll be strained to find contact info outside of the (203)392-SCSU main office number. A detailed Google search rarely finds the phone numbers associated with specific offices. Most recently, for the past month as Southern has started the fall semester, their network has become so overloaded that the mail server periodically un-syncs all of my devices from their email (iPhone, Mac) so I don't get mail or know that an email I sent never actually sent, since it doesn't appear in ANY outbox or draft folder from any device. But since it happens off-and-on, as the SCSU network comes and goes as it pleases, I've not known about the missed emails until someone tells about a group email I missed. Lastly, and kinda most importantly, Southern's crap internet system occasionally doesn't recognize my password for Bannerweb, email, and Blackboard. Confoundingly, this doesn't occur on these applications all in one sitting. MANY TIMES I've sat and typed my password into Blackboard 5+ times and magically after repeated entries it suddenly works!!! Always had the same problem logging into "myscsu" and trying to get my email back online to the Southern server. Recommendation: If you're enrolling as a full-time undergraduate, I would HIGHLY recommend looking for a school elsewhere because you're DEFINITELY not getting your money's worth at this institution. Note: they also have no funding for student work study anymore, so don't count on that for extra money/tuition expenses. If you're taking classes part-time, for a job or continuing education, it will be a frustrating experience, but not a total waste of money. Botton line, I rated 2 stars because the professors and experiences with classmates have been awesome this past year, but the university as a whole is beyond frustrating.Jennifer Vollmer

im usually not the type of person to be negative and leave lengthy reviews but this is so necessary being that im so extremely disappointed with this school! I went for a tour in November of 2017 fell in love with the campus so I decided to apply as a transfer student in April of 2018! I sent in my fee waiver form April 20th I was told it takes 2-3weeks to hear back from the school, ok cool! here it is a MONTH later still no response, nor any communication to even let me know they've received my fee waiver form and that id be hearing from them soon or whatever the case may be just complete silence!!! not to mention the students that answer the phone are very rude and snappy! I withdrew my application and applied to Iona college! I applied with them got an acceptance letter, got my financial situation settled, paid my deposit all within a week, easy as 1,2,3 as it SHOULD be. Its an excellent school with a countless number of awards, i feel as though the process of applying to schools should be as easy and stress free as possible! Im extremely dissatisfied with my experience with this school it literally had everything I was looking for campus wise, but everything happens for a reason and being that Im going into the education field I've been told from numerous amounts of educators that im better off getting a job, with a degree from Iona under my belt. The purpose of this review is not to trash talk or to persuade anyone into not applying here but rather to allow others to be aware of what they may possibly come into contact with when applying to this school and perhaps a change can come about for the next student. : ) Blessings.Alexa Griffin

If I could give Southern zero stars I absolutely would. They are extremely unorganized, they don't care about you as a student AT ALL.. They cancelled a BIO class that I really needed a week before classes start. I emailed the head of the department asking for a solution and all I got was a too bad.. Now because of this I have to attend an extra semester and will not be graduating in time.. They offer classes at odd times which makes it hard for you to sign up for classes back to back, so far the professors I had don't care about you and are not understanding.. I graduated from Western Connecticut and I never had a problem with them and now because of Southern I have to spend more of my time and money that I don't have…Barbara Monteiro

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

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

I get MRIs every two months, and this was my best MRI experience yet. The staff at the front desk were friendly, efficient, and professional. I was seen without waiting. The price of the scan (paid cash, no insurance) was quite affordable compared to my usual (with insurance at the hospital). Greg, the tech, was personable, efficient, and professional as well. It was the shortest MRI I've ever had (this is a good thing). The MRI machine was the cleanest, nicest, and most comfortable I've ever been in, and Greg provided me with nice comfy headphones that blocked out the noise and played music of my choice. Never before have I been able to fall asleep in an MRI until this time. Dr. Shahid was wonderful and took the time to go over my scan with me. He also reached out directly to my doctor and explained things in very clear layman's terms. Great bedside manner from both Dr. Shahid and Greg. 5/5, would recommend to anybody.Reed Branson

This is such a pleasant, professional atmosphere everyone makes a great effort to make you feel comfortable and takes the time to inform you of everything as you go along with testing . From the appointment scheduling with Judy who is always so accommodating and friendly to the clinician Helen who is lovely ; I had her last year and remembered her immediately because she’s so very nice. Dr.Kaneko the radiologist took the time to answer some questions I had. I’m so pleased that it was the Dr. Kaneko Who read my report – extremely knowledgeable thorough and efficient. Top notch…… Thank you Dr. KanekoKaren R

I've used Guilford radiology a few times and have always had a good experience. My visit today was exceptional. They just recieved a new TV for the MRI so you can watch a movie during the scan! Laura was my tech and was super awesome. The radiologist took time with me while I was there to review the images because a specific thing we were looking for that was communicated excellently between them and my doctor. So happy with them!Hannah Donadio

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

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’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 write this review out of immense gratitude towards this great institution, Yale New Haven Hospital! I lost my father to COVID in October of 2020 when my parents were happily and independently living in India. I requested my mom to come with me after my dad's demise and she came along with me to the US. Her life had come to a screeching halt after my father left, who she was completely dependent upon. Unfortunately, My mother was diagnosed with cancer in April of 2021 while she was in California visiting my sister. We were all distraught hearing this and we asked her to come here for her treatment at Yale. My parents were successfully able to lead a comfortable life in India, but she had no source of income nor any medical insurance when she came to the US. We scheduled our first appointment at Yale with Dr. Judson, a head and neck surgeon who had operated upon my wife before. During our appointment, I met Shannandola at Yale, who worked for Yale's administration and said we would have no choice, but to go for self pay. She humbly guided me to apply for Yale free care. This was a shot in the dark and we had so much on our mind that we did not even hope for anything after applying for it. I received a call from Iris at Yale Financial department regarding my application and she guided me on the additional documents required for the application to be considered. I was able to promptly provide her with all the documents that she requested and within hours of our conversation, I heard back from her giving me a verbal approval for my mother's free care at Yale and all it's subsidiary hospitals and clinics. This felt like a call from God. I literally started crying on the call and we all hugged and started to cry out of joy after the call as a family. My mother was relieved beyond words could express! My mother underwent a successful surgery that lasted 13 long hours with 3 surgeons working tirelessly to remove her cancer. She underwent chemo and radiation therapy at Yale along with physical and speech therapy. this was all done at 0 charge to her. My mother fought like a brave soldier and was working hard to recover from the strong side affects from the radiation. She developed severe aspiration pneumonia and we lost our mother unfortunately due to the complication from the radiation in September of this year. My family and I are incredibly grateful to Yale for all that they have done for us. Sickness, Life and death are beyond our control unfortunately, but she was relieved from a major financial burden by this kind and benevolent act of Yale.Utkarsh Jhala

My first time ever being hospitalized was last year April with Covid. It was by far the worst experience ever, I told people whenever God decides to give me a child, I will look into home birth. Animals probably get better treatment. I went in for Covid and next thing I knew, I was being treated like a psych patient. Yes they say Covid did alot to people, but if wasn't for the fact that I gave my life completely to the Most High God on that hospital bed. Then I probably would have been died like countless people who were ignored, starved, given unnecessary medications and have your rights as a patient ignored. When I tried to complain about what was happening to me, many didn't believe because it sounded like something out of a movie. I tried to tell them, "they are trying to kill me." My life flashed infront my face twice, I had 2 near death experience and it was not due to Covid, it was due to the medications the nurses admistered and my heart stopped. My phone got taken away and they try to say I was hitting staff, woke up in restraints and given IV medications against my will. If you come to draw someone's blood while they are sleeping, obviously they will move. Some people should not be taking care of others. Many healthcare professionals also needs a spiritual life, because due to the medication they gave me, it weakened my body and I had a horrible spiritual attack. I asked for a priest or pastor and I was denied. One of the doctor who work at the VNA that works at yale was the worse. I never told them I was in nursing so they had no clue that I was aware of certain things. It goes to show you that people take their bias to work and treat patients worse than animals. It starts with the EMT. I had to take time out from schooI and was unable to work when I first came out the hospital. I had to learn to trust humanity again. I have never been to prison, but this was beyond horrifying. I have never had issues with my liver and the amount of medications they gave me did some harm to my liver and overall immune system. I am a child of the Most High God and he always fight my battles for me. Only a few nurses and staff members were caring. One needs to be prayed up when they are visiting the hospital or being hospitalized, because there is so many spirits in hospitals.Kemecia Arthur

First let me say that the doctors, nurses, and all of the staff at Yale New Haven Hospital (YNHH) are fantastic. The medical care is great. With that said, the food service if you are a vegan is terrible. If you are going to be spending any time at YNHH and are a vegan, please bring your own food as best you can. I had a procedure where I stayed overnight and I got to a room at about 9PM. The food service closes at 8PM. I asked the nurse what they had to eat as I had not eaten due to the procedure in about 20 hours. All they had was sandwiches; Turkey, Ham, and Beef. They had zero vegan options. The nurse was able to find me dry breakfast cereal, and tiny cups of peanut butter. Later she found me a little fruit cup like you would send to school with your children their lunch. That is all I had to eat. In the morning I went to order something and the "menu" has some things marked as "plant based". Turns out they do not mean vegan, they mean 'mostly plants with some animal products'. The marking was inconsistent, as an apple was not marked as plant based, but a meal that had milk in it was. You have call their food service and ask them to list the ingredients of anything you think might be vegan to find out as their staff does not know either. Come on YNHH, get your act together, this is 2022! Support vegan food at the hospital. Food service wise, I give them an "F".Robert Orion

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

As previous reviews state this University is actively promoting medical discrimination. I phoned the University and asked why they are choosing to this and I was greeted with remarks such as "Being vaccinated isn't a choice, it's a responsibility" There are so many Universities that don't actively promote this, I hope these guys come to their senses.Jeremy Brochu

I’m happy to be sending my child to a school that protects the students and staff by enforcing a vaccination policy. All of this medical discrimination talk makes me laugh out loud…good riddance!Chris engelhardt

Beautiful campus inside & out. Met the Dean total professional & extremely nice. The place was spotless clean & everyone was very nice. Security was excellent going in and out.Marlo S

Stunning campus. Reminds me of Oxford. Unfortunately student campus tours were cancelled after we made plans to visit, so we created our own itinerary. Lots of areas were closed off to outsiders, and I watched as students entered through large gates with key-in access from their phones. Only downside of Yale is New Haven itself. Outside of the Yale campus, New Haven can be a little sketchy in some areas and I would advise caution when roaming.Avalus

Full disclosure: I didn't go to school here, so I can't speak to the academics. I did work with an alumnus and he was a cool guy, so I'm guessing this university is a great place. The campus is beautiful in an old, classic way. It's so stunning, I'd say it merits a visit on its own. I had a great time scrolling through campus and snapping pics. The museum on campus was free admission and had some impressive displays. All in all, I liked Yale.Alex Kolkena

Can be compared to Princeton University. Art style for even sport stadium. And it is not too big so it is easy to walk through the campus. However, no many places open during the pandemic. Maybe I will visit again to enjoy the shows thereDr. Lee talking Skincare

I could write a book about what colleges do wrong. But I'll save you my whining and talk shop instead— this is a pretty decent and friendly place. There are many passionate, cool and effective teachers who love teaching and their students, even when the system doesn't love either of them. Online classes are a joke and suffer from "old people cannot use technology" disease, making it very easy for cheaters to prosper. They even heavily discourage you from even helping them fix the cheats, when they're absolutely instrumental for your success when the class is taught badly. I highly recommend you take history this way. Teachers for these classes usually rip tests off of specific websites, so… fair's fair, right? It's a shame, too. I love history. I just hate rout memorization. Please just remove history as a class and suggest history resources instead. This isn't suggestion to the college, but to the entire national board who decides what knowledge is or isn't cool. Please please please just make the system better and stop overcomplicating things. You're out of touch, please hand the keys to someone wiser if you can't do it yourself. Anyway, advisors are innocent to the perils of college sequencing. They will tell you to follow your dream, no matter the cost. Whatever you want to do, they will promise you the world. But this is a siren's song. They will not inform you of the logistics which may make you reasonably doubt your path. When I cited money as a reason I went to community college instead of a full four-year university, the admissions person chuckled and said that they got that a lot, in a really clueless way, as if she didn't know why. Yeah, expect that kind of attitude a lot. It's refreshing but dangerous. And what happens when you go to that four year university, end up in a little debt and don't have the life you thought you were building in college? Well… too bad, sucker. We thought you knew enough about what you were doing. Don't blame us for life's rough patches. Don't blame us for not teaching you your internal biases and character flaws and imperfections in how you see the world. Blame yourself. It's not our job to teach you that. Problem is, though, no one teaches that. Highschool sure doesn't. Where do people learn that? I had to teach myself, but not everyone can. Ironically, I'm not speaking from experience. It's just something I've seen happen to too many people, and I think it's disgusting that the system isn't more realistic and helpful from a lifestyle perspective. But, some people would say I'm just being cynical. I sure hope so. 'Cause the way I see it, people's hope in the system is selfish naivete. But, I'm being too dreamy. You can't grade lifestyle advice, so what's the point in teaching it?TOYSIPO2

Clueless advisors, reps and faculty members that don't know how to respond to emails or answer phones. Their 2 year degrees take more than two years because they advise you poorly on scheduling classes. This school tried dropping surprise tuition charges on my account and they tried negating my financial aid because their financial aid rules on the website are vague or they contradict their own rules and the CSCU rules for the whole state. If you send an appeal expect to be waiting weeks on end while playing phone tag or getting no answer, only for your appeal to be denied anyway. Now they've outsourced their admissions phone line to a call center, so I imagine it's only gotten worse. Also, they offer no meal plans and the food is overpriced. Save your money and effort and study somewhere else if you can.A Account

The Electrical Engineering Technology program is ABET accredited, so that's nice. You'll find that most professors are great here. Only had maybe 1 or 2 that weren't that good. I will say that the financial aid office is not very helpful. Seems that whenever I call, somehow no one knows how to help me. I called once for information on getting leftover grant money moved to another semester, as I had done in a previous semester. According to who I talked to, they've never done that… OK. So I asked about paying it out… She said they'd send a check. Well, its been 5 months… Wheres my $8?! I recommend not calling the financial aid office about financial aid… That said, everything else is great and I'd recommend this to anyone looking for an Associates Degree.Cullen Perreault

Front desk are rude and not understanding. Also I felt really uncomfortable being there by the way there were so dry and rude. Also looking at me like if I was not I guess good enough or something won’t be coming there anymore !Carol Cortes

No social distancing. No temp check and no covid health questions to enter facility. Also a bit of a wait past appointment timepeggy Esposito

Just completed phlebotomy waiting to take my national exam, I can not say enough great things about the school I have learned so much. Barb and Tracy are so wonderful I will be sad to leaveDebra Lasasso

Wonderful instructors, they do a great job at having their students learn the material long term. Definitely a great choice if you are looking for a school to get certified!ammie bordoy
