20 Best Surgical Tech Programs In St. Louis, MO (2022 Updated)

I love this school! I take online courses after I moved from Missouri to Texas and everyone is always so friendly and helpful!! The financial aid office and Koree are fantastic and the Director of Academic and Student Affairs Sarah was amazing, too! Emillie is always quick when it comes to book vouchers and Valerie always gets the books sent out promptly! The online instructors are amazing and very helpful! The variety of courses offered online are outstanding! Would not go anywhere else for my education!! My counselor at the Ava campus, Jacquelyn is so friendly and takes time to make sure I'm doing ok! Love this place!!Nina Hicks

My daughter attends this university and she has told me multiple times that the buildings are ran down, many of the professors that she's had are rude and condescending, the computers in the library and in Springfield Hall are old and slow and the wifi is horrible. This university has absolutely nothing to offer to their students. My daughter is unhappy and she's had the worst experience here and she told me that she definitely regrets attending this university. I would recommend attending another institution because this one definitely isn't worth the money.Chanel Anderson

I'm a Drury grad and I must say, Drury is an amazing place to go to college. The computer science department is fantastic. The professors go out of their way to help you and make sure you succeed. I would recommend it over any large state college. I went to both MSU and Arizona State and they don't hold a candle to Drury. Great school and great environment.Josh Harrold

I had a decent experience. Some of the teachers were very great, while others were not. Artie Fowler and Diane Tigner were very rude and condescending to me most of the times I needed help with academic advising. My credits didn't transfer very well into Truman State, but I still don't regret starting with the community college. I was a straight A student at MACC, and I am a straight A student at Truman as well. Life is what you make it, I guess. MACC can be an excellent opportunity.Nathan Leiter

I enjoyed my time here. I will be graduating in December with my Associate's in Psychology and I will be transferring to UMSL for Spring semester. I definitely recommend Michael Johnson as an advisor because it seems like he is the only one who knows how to actually be an advisor. Work hard and the work pays off. The ones giving bad reviews are the lazy ones.Matthew Heckman

I have had a great experience at MACC I loved the teachers! It's a great school to start out at and the classroom size is smaller making it easier to get acquainted with your classmates and get help if needed. The cost is also very affordable compared to a University or private school.Mary M

Everyone at Forest Park Dental School is wonderful to me. They are punctual with the start time of appointments. Since they are a school, they're always learning new techniques and using up to date technology and pass on their knowledge to me. They always encourage me to take care of my teeth and show me better ways to care for my teeth. I have such a great time going there. They take Mohealthnet Medicaid, so there's no charge. I get X-rays and cleanings. They always do their best from the managers, the teachers, the dentists, and the students. I highly recommend them. They are safe, clean, creative, and careful during the Coronavirus. Because of the Coronavirus they use tools that don't cause splash. They truly care. If you have a problem they can't help you with they refer you to Affinia Dental School. I'm grateful for their handicapped parking in front of the building.Jean Montgomery

If you want to be successful just go somewhere else. The professors do not teach in a way to retain the material, the test and the computer programs used for homework such as the MyOpenLab never matches to what the professors teach in class. Many students attend to gain science and math classes for their premed studies, if this is you, avoid at all means. The science department does not help students, and look for students to repeat course just to make more money. Not sure if it’s a cult within the department or what. And there is almost always no one on campus to help with tutoring. Please avoid! This review is not out of spike I’ve went through other programs at other universities and never had the experience I had here. Going a “cheaper” route is not always better.Raven

Unhelpful, negligent, or even downright racist staff. Ridiculous required classes that are frankly redundant to high school or useless. Refused to pay me the scholarships and wages they promised me for my work and qualifications for scholarships. Repeatedly have made it very clear they just want my money without providing any services of even considerable quality. I've tried to address this with the school and they have not even tried to communicate back with me for 9 out of my 10 attempts. I'd leave no stars, but that 1 in 10 is trying to help me right now, and even they have admitted to being blocked at every turn to get me what I worked and paid for.ThatGuy Zorv

I had the best college experience at this school. The classes were small, the teachers were phenomenal and the learning center provided help with any subject I needed assistance with. I was also given an art scholarship which required me to join the art club where I had many invaluable experiences. I can not recommend this school enough!Meredith W

It's cheap, which is great, but the material is way behind in IT which was my department. Still won't forget the time ECC illegaly withdrew $1,800 from my bank account in 2018, which I got back in a legal way. This is the fourth time I've had post my review due to school board officals submitting requests for removal to Google.Dylan Marquart

I love this campus so much. The Instructors are fabulous. Dr. Sexton is legitimately my favorite and most influential professor. Since I've been out of college I've come back to sing and I regret nothing and I cannot wait to be more active in this program again. If you love music and want to learn – come join any class he hasjessi wink

This is for the billing department: I would suggest not setting up auto pay for a medical bill. If you can send payments in or pay in full but do not give them authorization to debit automatically. I set up a payment plan and needed to change the due date a month before the payment was set to debit from my card. The day finally came to debit and they decided to take 50.00 more than what I set the plan up for. I called and was able to get the 50 refunded but the lady informed me there was a note on my account by a supervisor stating because I changed the date the plan took double and I was informed when I changed the date by a pop up box thru MyChart. That doesn’t make any sense at all. Why would someone go thru with changing the date of something to get double debited. If that was the case I may as well have set the plan up for 100.00. Anywho, today I get a notification from my bank stating another 100.00 dollars debited. Again the plan was only set for 50.00. So what’s the excuse this month??? The math ain’t mathing!! -from a former patientDemetria Davis

Best doctors in town I had serious eye problems But the doctors At Washington University Do a great job I have diabetes And I didn't look after myself in a good way I went blind for about 6 months Like I said the doctor's at washu did a great job God-bless and keep up the good workMyron Melton

What else can one say about one of the top medical facility in the United States. The staff is top notch, medical services are available for those who choose to take advantage of these services. I can't give enough accolades to this fine institution.Barbara Lewis

Went to Trilogy beauty salon for a haircut and hair color appointment. Student did a really nice job on both. All the students were dressed professionally They were wearing nice looking smocks unlike some other beauty schools were they wore whatever they wished Trilogy salon uses very high quality products which is appreciated Students do take more time completing a hair cut or hair color Instructors are there if they have any questions and everything they do is looked at by the teacher Students gain valuable experience there Highly recommendedKathy Salm

Affordable for gen eds but for a technical college they have some of the worse tech issues I have every seen my I have seen middle schools with better technical support. Do not take there advice on what laptop to buy since I was told to buy a Microsoft brand laptop but I needed to add every chrome extension needed to even access half the course material. I had to ask my instructors to use my personal email only since I could send emails through my school one but could not read any of the instructors emails.Gunfire Productions

Let's just say I'm no spring chicken. I got my Industrial electrical apprenticeship at the age of 46 and at the age of 50 I graduated. It was not an easy thing for me. But the program was excellent and they gave me alot of skills I use everyday at my job. Some days I think I should have tried fitting the instrumentation specialist into my schedule some how but with work hours it wouldn't have work. Id say they have everything you need to succeed at FVTC, because if I can do it at my age anybody can there!Heath Mischke

Since they have instituted 6 sessions Columbia College has proven they are not about the students. By making this move they force students to take student loans or lose part of their Pell grant due to not being enrolled full time. They try telling their students that 6 sessions per year will benefit them. Being a student that is currently enrolled and have been for a few years now I can tell you it is of no good to the student. Not only does it cost us more but instead of having any type of break between already accelerated courses we only have two days off. This is ultimately going to lead to more stressed out students and lower GPA's. There was a time I recommended this College to everyone I came across. Now sadly I make it very clear Columbia College is the worst college you could attend. It is a joke. Rolla's new policy if we don't offer something you need in seat take it online. Not mentioning that not only are online courses significantly more expensive but the work that is required for these is beyond reason. I am talking at minimum double the workload of an in seat class. The teachers are great, administration from the main campus down is terrible. This is no longer a student centered college no matter what their website portrays.Sean Dahlman

I'm currently enrolled at CC. This is the best college I've ever been to. The faculty is understanding and very helpful. They actually care about your education. My advisor was by far the best. She helped me through some very tough decisions and helped me to make the best financial decisions. I visited the enrollment center 3 times to change classes due to my own reasons and all three times they were understanding, helpful, and encouraging. I also went to the enrollment services about my financial status multiple times throughout the year and they were always there to help. They showed me my financial plan exactly including scholarships, loans, and grants. They explained everything to where I could understand and even printed me copies of my plan. BEST COLLEGE containing the VERY BEST PEOPLE! The other reviews that had one star and rude comments, it's because of their stupidity and closed mindedness. This college is truly amazing and makes you feel apart of the community, on or off campus.Rebecca Brewer

I had a terrible experience at this school. I would highly recommend not going to this college. They do not care about how you as the student does. All they care a bout is your money. You will NEVER hear back from any of your online teachers. I tried emailing a teaching with a question 3 times and not once did I hear back from the teacher. If for any reason you need to withdrawal they will not except it. Even if you withdraw a day or 2 after the deadline, they will make you pay every cent, even if you had good reason for the withdrawal. If you want to attend a college that cares about your needs and your success I would highly recommend choosing a different college because the only thing they care about at this college is getting your money. I'm reading all of these other reviews and I had similar experiences. The service is absolutely terrible! I will never return here and never recommend this pathetic college to anyone.Brandon Moore

terrible people place full of liars and conmen! i had gone a few years back got student aid and had a bunch of things come up and had to drop out so i dropped out within the time frame so i wouldnt have to worry about paying anything back. cool few years go by and out of no where they are claiming i owe them money now and i argued this no one cared to look into this at all and now they take my state taxes every year to pay it back and they refuse to give me my transcripts to attend another college.. absolutely do not waste your time with them its a money sink they dont care about the students they dont care about education they have zero professional pride. honestly goto a proper college get a proper degree because these people dont care about anything but a paycheck. they do absolutely no investigating at all with anything ive got lists of things that happened where a proper investigation should have been done and they didnt. DO NOT GO HERE THEY DO NOT CARE ABOUT YOU!Kevin Marler

Having attended a number of 4 year universities, I am rather impressed with the quality of the instruction here … and at a fraction of the cost. As traditional private four year universities hunker down and concentrate on obtaining federal grants, and begging for scraps from alumni while generally ignoring the students, this school's mission is primarily educational. Sure the food isn't gourmet, and all the students aren't hand picked from private schools via house recruiters … but, in honesty, this school is more academically rigorous than many private universities, and without all the fluff that costs a pretty penny in tuition. In addition, unlike private universities, one can take classes here just for fun without breaking the bank; many such classes and certifications are offered for those wishing self-improvement and to learn without academics raining on their parade. I particularly recommend the Horticulture Program, it is both top notch and unique.Andrew Covey

I'm wrapping up my associates soon. Meramec is a pretty good college. Advisors are ok, very hit and miss but my advisor was great. Admissions people were not as great. Financial aid is good. Professors are 80% good and 20% bad. The bad ones are REALLY bad and drag down your experience here. Use "rate my professor" or talk to other students to find the good professors. I had a class with a professor that told us he hated his job and we could tell because that class was hell. I doubt many universities are any better because every place has at least a few bad professors. Do your research, advocate for yourself, sign up for good courses, and you will do great and save a ton of money.Katya R

I appreciate Rasmussen University for having an abundance of resources and many professors and other staff members who demonstrate they want students to succeed. I especially have enjoyed being a peer educator, being privileged to work with Tammy Hopps who is an excellent supervisor and leader, and also being able to work with other peer educators who care for their peers as much as I do. I transferred from a local state college, which I considered sticking with to save money, but in reality, not much is saved when you compare the timeframe for graduation. At the state college it would take me an extra 2 whole years to receive my BSN, whereas at Rasmussen I save 2 years of time because of their second-degree BSN option. I am very pleased with the quality of technology – at the state school blackboard and other resources were slow and did not work as well on my cell phone, whereas with Rasmussen I can easily access everything I need from my phone when I'm on the go. It's inspiring to see so many single parents and married parents in school, some of which also work full time or part time like myself while completing their degree. Highly recommend!HappyNessa11:11& Family

I had such high hopes when enrolling at this school. However my experience hasn't been favorable at all. I am a current student and I was disappointed because even though I was able to enroll and start classes I really felt unsupported on this journey. I'm realizing Rasmussen may not be the school for me. I REALLY thought I would be supported and encouraged. I was made to feel that Rasmussen would be rooting for me through my academic journey. Instead I am bombarded with emails and calls telling me what I already know… I owe money. No calls or emails about how I can be helped to budget so that I can pay more toward the balance. I'm only being told: what I owe, to get the balance down to $500-$1000 and to take out loans; which will only put me in debt and it's too early to be taking out loans when I've been in school since September of 2021 and have 2 more years. Also this school doesn't cater to single parents, limited income and individuals that HAVE to work. This school ONLY has day classes for the nursing program and as I said before I HAVE to work full time.Sherria Clark

This morning I called the university for the North Orlando Campus for the Nursing program and spoke to the director of Nursing who was discusstingly rude on the phone. I called to get information, He had no patience and told me Not to proceed a career in Nursing because it was Not for me. This was a university that I was so excited to be a part of and be a graduate of Nursing. The director needs to be Fired because he is giving the university a bad reputation. To whom it may concern please take this review into consideration and hire a new director of Nursing for the program.Georgia Conde

The financial aid process is terrible and I have encountered many road blocks. It took me months just to sort out the paperwork with financial aid. My first semester IN CLASS was good. I enjoyed the class and the teachers were great. I tried to enroll in summer classes and found out I did not have financial aid. It would have been nice to know that this process must be done for each semester. I tried to get financial aid for the fall semester only to encounter another road block. The financial aid office states they need proof of citizenship. I have already provided documents stating I am a naturalized citizen and they have it on file. This is the same document they used to approve me for financial aid my first semester. Suddenly this documentation is not proof enough. Keep in mind I have not been contacted by the school stating this has been an issue. I had to call the school to figure out why I haven't been approved. They gave me the usual run around. Getting anything done at this school is like pulling teeth. If you can go somewhere else I would recommend to do that. Also the financial aid office has some bad attitudes… just want to update that my student loan payments are no longer deferred until after graduation. Im currently considered as unenrolled and my grace period has started which means i am required to make payments on my loans while also trying to re enroll back to this school. At this point i dont even want to go back to collegeStruggle

At the beginning of the year I received a pell grant that totaled my tuition for the entire year and then some. I was then advised that even though I had the money to pay for all of my classes and receive extra afterwards that they would not pay for two of my classes because they are not on my plan for my degree. I am going to a new school in the fall because scc is constantly changing requirements for their degrees and I have 3 classes that I have taken that do not count for anything. So I need those two classes to transfer but they keep emailing me to drop them before it “hinders my financial status”. They don’t pair you with an academic advisor and don’t really help you with choosing classes or advising you of anything beyond your first semester there. I also had a code that I needed for a book for my math class that totaled $60 dollars. I reached out to the financial aid department about this and they said that since the book was through a 3rd party that financial aid would not cover it. All in all this is not a helpful campus. They advertise that they’re a 2 year school but if I stay here it will take at least 3.5 to just get an associates degree. They don’t help with financial aid answers and don’t provide the necessary tools to have a healthy education. All in all I’d rather spend the extra 10 grand and go to a school that is helpful and understands students.Jillian Goetz

I have tried with my daughter to get her Aplus program figured out, and each time she or I go to the admissions desk/department, they seem to not really care and not anxious to help, almost as though they are bothered by her or I asking for help. I would recommend, if you have the option to go to another community college, to be sure to check if the administrative/admissions desk will be willing to help and read reviews about the college you are thinking about choosing. This was my first go around with a child entering college, but for my next 3 we will look for sure at other colleges and other options. If you can get past all the above, my daughter has not had any issues with the professors. So in summary, if you can get past admissions and administrators maybe a good choice. But just be aware you will be figuring things out on your own or plan to be very frustrated and put off due to their processes.The Hawk Seven

I graduated from Ranken several year ago and I can honestly say, this Technical college has to be one of the biggest mistakes I've ever made In furthering my education. I wouldn't wish my worst enemy to attend this college. You won't find gratification when attending school here, you'll take 24 credit hours a semester like I did earning an associates degree that won't help you on the outside. Just so you know, a full time student is 12 credit hours a semester. If you want to work in a trade, the trade will teach you everything you need to know free with a small commitment, or you'll pay back for the education you received if not completing their terms. So, save your money and go elsewhere. This trade school isn't worth attending. A Union will already give you the tools you need to become sucessful.Steve O

I heard so many great things about Ranken and wanted to go there, which I did. Unfortunately, things weren't going well/working out, so I only attended for a semester. I did the architecture program. I thought I would like Ranken and architecture, but I was wrong and was not happy with my major and the way things were going. It was a waste of my money, so I'm glad I made the right decision to leave after my first semester of my only year. If you go to Ranken, be careful to pick your major, and to especially make sure you don't waste your money. It goes to show that Ranken isn't for everyone.Henry Knarr

hello! I am Genti and I won the American lottery 2022, for a short time I became a resident in the city of Saint Louis and I am interested in attending your Electrician course. I want to know some information about your school. – what qualification criteria to be part of? – how much does the training cost? – how long does school last? – in what hours does the lesson take place? – while continuing school, am I allowed to work as an electrician? – can I get a scholarship, discount because I have little financial opportunity? Please reply me. Thank you in advance!G B

The staff at the registrars office needs a lot of work. They have made the process of requesting a transcript a disaster. As a "catholic" educational institute the school should understand the need of transcripts and do their best to accommodate students in there path of continuing education. The staff needs to work on both their customer service skills and conflict resolution practices. The behavior of the staff during phone conversations and email correspondence has been completely inappropriate. Our firm would separate from individuals with their antics as soon as possible. I have been requesting my transcript since July 28 and my new school has still not received it. It my understanding that my transcript was finally sent on August 8 but I have been given no proof of that. UMSL understood my concerns on the situation and offered to accept the transcript via email. I sent an email to SLU at 10:40 asking them to send my transcript to UMSL via email as soon as possible. After hearing no response, I sent two additional emails at 12:30 and 2:00 but still received no response or indication my emails had even been requested. I finally called the school at 2:30 and the assistant registrar argued with for several minutes about how I was insulting and didn't allow them time to respond. However, she was well aware of the situation and knew who I was before I even mentioned my name. Instead of arguing for several minutes with a disrespectful attitude the correct method for resolution would have been apologizing for my experience and trying to accommodate my needs. After I explained it is taking more time to argue then to fix the situation I was told it would be emailed that day. At 3:30 I received a completely inappropriate email in which I responded with my concerns on how the school handled the situation. In my opinion the school is more of hassle than it is worth. You should always put the education of your students or former students first instead of treating someone with utter disrespect. I have asked to sit down with whoever oversees the registrars office. I have several suggestions on how the staff can improve and work with students in a respectful and helpful matter.Chelsea Langeneckert

It's a private university, so it costs more than others in the area, but if you have financial need or have great grades, you can get a LOT of help. The school itself feels very separate from the surrounding area. It's almost as if going into another city when you step off campus. The professors are wonderful, the reputation is good, and honestly the grounds are beautiful. I don't regret my time here and would happily attend again.Chelsea

I recently finished my first year at SLU and I could not be happier with my decision to go here. I am in the nursing program and lived in a learning community last year. I met so many amazing people and I loved my professors. I had so many great opportunity a this year alone and I will also be attending The schools campus in Madrid Spain in the full.Grace Miklosovic

I am very disappointed at this school. I'm about halfway through my online RN-BSN program and I have always worked hard on all my courses. I have managed to maintain a 4.0 GPA up to now, but I don't know how this is going to continue. It has never been easy to do schoolwork while working as a nurse and having family and obligations at home, but I have always done it. The syllabus for the new course starting a week from now outlines a tremendous amount of work. I mean, several weeks will have 4 assignments. This is the opposite of what they advertise online and everywhere. This is not a university for people who are working and trying to balance work, life, and a degree. This is called false advertising. I agree with another reviewer who said, if you want to work yourself to death and not see your family, and not have any time at all for anything else but school – this is the school for you. I'm very disappointed at realizing the amount of work and these many assignments every week. Like I said, I'm not one that is trying to slack and procrastinate, and not do any work, and still get a degree. That is absolutely not me. I'm a hard worker but I still need to sleep at least a few hours a day, and work, and care for my family, and work on school. It is not only school in people's lives. Yes, it is important to get a degree, but there is not only school in life. When they advertise "manageable coursework, this is the school where people who work and can get their degree, at SNHU students have a good school/life balance" Please, stay away and do not believe it. It is not true. The amount of work for this 3-credit course of an undergraduate degree is absolutely insane. I must say that this is not a capstone course. Not sure I will be as successful this term. Very disappointed. I e-mailed my advisor about my concerns. Received an email that basically minimizes my all my concerns and generalizes "I know that all students make sacrifices to get their degrees." "Deans, students, and instructors know that this course is very heavy." Sorry. I am stuck now that I'm halfway through but if you have a choice, look for another university. I regret not choosing Capella University. Very disappointed. Other negative aspects are the fact that instructors want you to follow the rubric, but they don't understand it themselves. Poor communication when you ask for clarification. Poor feedback that fails to point out what to correct. Inconsistencies in grading. The most repetitive assignments that you can ever think of. They require you to repeat the same thing 20 times on the same paper in order to generate more pages or to make the assignment longer. Do yourself a favor and reconsider your choices.cubamorena

I received my bachelors degree in 2020 from SNHU. This experience was not horrible. I decided to continue having researched both SNHU and MSU for my MBA in Project Management. First couple of classes went very well and very smooth. Hit a class where the instructor passed off that they have zero authority over assignments and can’t deter from the rubric. Ok not what was asked but asked for clarification of coachback notes as they were written in a way you can’t understand, referenced things not about my personal paper and instructor couldn’t even expand on what to correct. I can handle criticism but if I need clarification isn’t that what an instructor is for? Not one question asked was answered. Went through the dispute process and the university of course refused to help or do anything. Why would they take ownership and accountability??? And they actually concurred with the notes provided by the instructor that even my advisor mentioned was not clear and not how she as an instructor would reply to a student. This university is absolutely not with using for a graduate degree. I am stuck since I am over 1/2 way done. Wouldn’t make sense to change schools now. Heed my warnings. Run!!David Voelker

The process of enrolling is very outdated and inconvenient. You don’t have a actually portal like most schools do that you watch your process flow. You depend on a advisor and callling all the time to get all info needed. If you’re lucky not to be the one of the chosen few to get picked to have a extra verification done. You have to send it photocopy of id, a utility bill, and notarized document. They requested a notarized document to verify my address then told me I couldn’t upload it, that it had to be mailed. The only reason I found out that document had to be mailed is when I called to ask why it couldn’t be uploaded. Their process is outdated and very inconvenient and really not consistent. I wouldn’t recommend this school for anyone just because of the process now it puts me in the predicament to find a new school to start at the last minute.Trice Bruce

St.louis is so lucky to have such a prestigious school in the heart of our city. Its so pretty and the campus is is pretty quiet at the moment due to covid but when everyone is on campus everyone you pass smiles and if you ever need help find a building everyone is willing to help point out the direction you need to go. I've worked here for 2 years and it is the best place I've ever worked. Looking forward to the next 20 years with this company. Such a great place to be.Tyler Uebel (Oshiznit)

Beautiful campus with all the traditional styled buildings. I really like the new Bauer hall which features a huge glass roof. I went to Sam Fox school to learn more about their Architecture programs. The staff and faculty there are super friendly and answered all my questions with passion.Yuchen Guo

I'm currently a graduate student here at WashU. It's a good school and top ranked According to US news ranking. What I liked about WashU is the campus which is neither too big nor too small. I almost forget to add: wifi connection speed is very bad.Aung Myo Htut

Do not go here if you want to be an RT. Financial aid department is incompetent. None of the credits transfer! The staff make contradictory statements or can’t give you a clear answer to your questions. You will have to chase down financial aid to get them to actually do their job. Money will go missing or they will tell you that you owe when you don’t. Your account will never be accurate or up to date.They need to be audited. All hospitals in STL think slchc is a joke which is why these students don’t get hired or have such a hard time getting a clinical rotation. No one wants students from this school. Response to comment: I personally know students who attend this school and I was in the process of applying until these things came to light from my experience thus far. The credits do not transfer. I can’t get a straight answer, and financial aid is incompetent. I don’t have to be currently enrolled to have dealt with these issues. And unfortunately the students who are enrolled who want to leave CANT because they would have to start completely over anywhere else due to credits not transferring so they unfortunately have no choice.Jeffrey Thomas

Great school. Just finished my associates degree in Respiratory Therapy & starting my bachelors degree in September. The instructors want you succeed & offers extra help outside of class hours. I LOVE Amy in admissions. She’s been there every step from the very beginning, checking in and making sure classes are going good & helping me enroll in my bachelors program. Danielle In career services is bomb! She’s reviewed my resume & helps with mock interviews to get you ready for the real thing. She also sends out tone of job postings Lol. I’ve recommended my school to a few of my friends & they love it!Jasmine Herron

A lot of discrimination from the instructors and Dean. They pick and choose who they want to give points to. Med surg teacher stated "This group don't deserve to be nurses " "I will continue to change the test up so they won't be able to pass" and she did exactly that and nothing was done about it . They say you can only flunk two courses but they allow certain people to return over and over and over .They need to be shut down and refund every student their money back .Also treat some of their staff like trash !Not to mention the DON was fired from Beck College for discrimination.Marilyn Monroe

Dr.George was the best instructor ive ever had LET ME TELL YOU! i have never enjoyed school and never made above a B plus but after taking my first module with him i past all my first 3 classes with a perfect score of 100. His teaching style is amazing, he makes you feel like youre not alone, and he loves when u ask questions so if you're like me and hate asking questions he makes it so much easier its awesome. I really hope i run into you again one day because you were the absolute BEST instructor a student could ask for. Love You! -Hailey <3Hailey Wilke

My career service advisor was great! Ms. Alexandria Vela helped me tremendously on my job search. She was one of the people from the campus who have always been very helpful. She has always been very attentive with me and always checked in, during and after my externship, and now that I'm hired she has continued to check in. She helped me apply for jobs and even walk me through interview questions. Eventually I did get hired and I cant thank her enough!estefania castillo

May I express, I was worried about joining this institution, I hadn’t been in school for a while but when I first visited everybody made me feel so welcome with a constant smile on their face, I felt encouraged and wanting to be in class. Dr. Navarro is very knowledgeable and she sure makes sure we’re updated with our work. I really recommend for you to visit CHCP institution, don’t just take my word for what I just experienced.Browneyes

Customers beware. I ran over 10 minutes (~12 minutes) late to my appointment because I stopped for gas. When I arrived I was told I had to reschedule. The front desk stated that is their policy. I have no problem with their policy, I do have an issue of not knowing of this policy prior to my appointment. When I asked how would I have known about the policy prior to my appointment, the clerk stated it was included in the text I received, which I did not receive a text. She then stated maybe it is not in the text and would have her manager call me on Monday. The manager of Gravois Bluffs location, called me and left VM just stating that is their policy. I called back to discuss the issue of not being aware of such policy and that I would not have bother driving in knowing I would be late. She then stated the website has the policy posted, however when we both looked, there is no posting of the policy. She also noted that their office was instructed to remove the policy posting off the walls and counters. I did reschedule my appointment at another location via phone, and during the rescheduling their was no mention of an arriving late policy. Hence the only way you will know of this policy is when you arrive and told to reschedule. Very poor customer service since the expectation was not set during the scheduling of the appointment. The waste of my time and their office time could have been prevented.DL S

I've had my vision checked by Clarkson in Fenton for a few years. The staff here are knowledgeable and friendly. Dr Menzel has taken good care and explains things clearly. I can't say the same for my eyeglass purchase. The same frames can be found 30% cheaper elsewhere, a $35 fee is charged for a warranty, I was given a cheap eyeglass case (not brand of frames) with a useless 2"x 3" cleaning cloth and no cleaning solution. Also I don't think Clarkson owns the lab that makes their glasses.Bill S

I had a great experience at the Fenton Gravois Bluffs location! I saw Dr. Stephen Menzel. Very friendly and meticulous. Really had a pleasant visit with all the staff. The girls up at the desk were very friendly and made sure everything was taken care of. Then after I saw the doctor a man named Bill helped me to pick out my glasses and finish everything else paper wise. Bill also cleaned and fixed my old glasses for me. I received excellent care there. All staff was great!Laura Lonati

I wasn’t sure what to think about Rasmussen because I’ve heard mixed reviews from my coworkers. I was pleasantly surprised to find out this is the college to go to school if you’re a parent wanting to be a nurse. I am married and have three kids under 8 years old and I work in the hospital full time, and I’m succeeding. From my fellow coworkers, I KNOW this is the fastest program to get your nursing degree. I love my professors. I absolutely love the diversity of my professors and fellow students. I know that some have complained about the professors intelligence level. My professors are all very educated. Sometimes if English isn’t the first language, anybody would speak a little slower. This gives you an education you wouldn’t get anywhere else because you’re learning from people who are different than you but usually more intelligent as they had to work harder to get their degree because English was not their first language! Or at least equally as intelligent. People also on occasion complain about the price. I have done the math and at the speed I’m completing my degree, I will have saved more because I’ll have the degree at least a year prior to my fellow coworkers going to more affordable schools I also had Sara Packard as my advisor and she was phenomenal. She almost always replied back to my emails within an hour, and I asked A LOT of questions. Without Sara, I would have never been able to start up as quickly as possible without her quick start worksheet list of things I needed to complete. Thank you so much Rasmussen!Amber Broring

This is my second week at Rasmussen. It is challenging, but no school is easy. So far, the best thing I have encountered at this school is the support that the school incorporates together to help the students. My admission went well because I got a lot of help from my admission advisor, Brittany. She kept me alert and on track throughout the entire process. I strongly agree to listen to her advice if you plan to get your admission process completed on time. Another thing I'm pleased to have is Personal Support Center. Just like Brittany and the admission process, I got all my technical issues solved through Personal Support. Both of these two parties are well-hired for the job. You will like the support team here if you go to this school. Supports and admission definitely earn 5 stars.k yang

DO. NOT. GO. HERE. If I could give this school zero stars I would. The nursing administration and program is a joke. All they care about is swindling you out of money. They intentionally kept me from being able to retake an exam so I would have to retake a course again. Visit the BBB website and read for your self, the aren’t accredited by the BBB and they literally have a 1.19 rating out of 5 and after reading the filed complaints from other previous students it’s easy to see why. There are multiple classes that 40% of your grade is dependent on ATI exams, not the course content, so you can literally pass the class portion but still fail the course due to ATI. It’s a joke.Jaime H

Very few people wear masks anymore in STL but I do. I felt like the odd woman out! They've taken great care to protect the staff. But shouldn't an enclosed space like a store require clients to protect everyone?. Some of the fresh items are not as fresh as I would like. But overall the food is safe. But be careful with items marked reduced for quick sale. If you don't cook it immediately and well done it is like inviting a visit with the doctor. Anything in the deli, meat and seafood counter is subject for the warning. But overall, I would recommend that you shop here. It's usually well stocked but is subject to having items I need out of stock. Like Provel Cheese, a STL favorite. Derived here by Italian American restaurants to satisfy those who don't like the typical cheeses of Italy.Roberta Black

I've been to this schnucks a couple times. I've had mixed experiences with the staff and the customers. The staff have sometimes been very short and in some cases rude. Unfortunately the same thing can also be said about some of the people that loiter in the parking lot or in the store. I always seem to meet people that want me to either buy them something or give them money. I know this isn't uncommon in St Louis but It disproportionately happens at this store. I am not against talking to people, but most of the time going here someone seems to need something specific and I'm trying to get in and out quickly and don't appreciate being held up as I enter, shop or leave the store.Nathan P

Very convenient from most of South City and a wide selection. This is definitely our "home" grocery store. Staff is friendly and I greatly appreciate how they hire several special needs individuals as part of their team. Their selection of natural food keeps increasing which has cut back on our visits to other higher end grocery stores. Meat selection is strong. Seafood can be hit or miss, but I get that. Have expanded their self-checkout to like 10 stations and rarely there is a wait during off-peak times, if ever. Parking lot can be a bit of a circus at times. We just park far away usually.Matt Alvino

Even though cost co is super busy the staff is amazing a super friendly. At times it can be hard to navigate with the hustle and bustle I did enjoy the random things all throughout the store. Amazing selections! From furniture to clothes and even electronics! And who even knew the had beautiful jewelry!? Not me but the rings were so beautiful! And the food in the cafe area is great to! Specifically the pizza *chefs kiss* perfect. And all the stuff u can get in bulk for a really good price just blows my mind if you haven’t been go ! Its worth it ! I didn’t get to spend long inside but the next time I go I will for sure be looking around a bit longer!Ayyo Bbydoll

Went to Costco with a friend. It's a huge space, visually overwhelming, but I could see the value. I didn't pick up much–trash bags, fabric softener, and energy drinks–but had fun exploring and chatting with my friend while she shopped. The checkout process is very different–you place your whole cart, without unloading it, on the side of the checkstand where the cashier is, and they use a hand scanner to scan the items. Nothing goes in bags. I can't imagine how much packaging Costco saves, especially for large families. I'm glad it exists.R Cusick

First time I’ve been to this Costco I was in West Palm Beach last week that was a zoo although this one was pretty crowded. Also, a little intimidating I’ll have to come back when it’s not so crowded and really scope it out but I was surprised I went to Xpress check out, and they actually have people that scan your items in express to expedite.Dan M
