    I had such a great experience working with Kristopher Rios throughout my entire enrollment process…read morefor the ADN-RN program! From the very beginning, he made what could have been an overwhelming process feel so much easier and more personal. He helped me get started, set up my interviews and meetings, answered all of my questions, and guided me through every step all the way up to my acceptance into the program. What I appreciated most about Kristopher was how supportive, responsive, and genuinely invested he was in helping me succeed. He always made sure I knew what was coming next and that I felt prepared throughout the process. Starting nursing school is such a huge step, and having an advisor like Kristopher made such a difference in my experience getting here. Even now that I'm officially in the program, I know I can still reach out to him if I ever have a question or need help with something. I'm so grateful for everything he did to help me get to this point. Definitely my favorite advisor!!

    I would like to recognize Dolores in Academic Affairs for the RN program. As a student transferring…read morefrom a different nursing program in Southern California, I truly appreciated the time she took to understand my personal needs, educational background, and individual experience. Dolores was warm, welcoming, and genuinely supportive as I transitioned to Fresno. Her guidance made me feel seen as more than just a student record--she listened carefully, offered thoughtful assistance, and helped make an unfamiliar transition feel much more manageable. I am very grateful for her professionalism, compassion, and commitment to supporting students. Her welcome to Fresno and to the RN program made a meaningful difference in my experience. I look forward to sharing an updated review of the school after I have completed the program. Still, I wanted to acknowledge Dolores now for the positive impact she has already had.

    My brother called CHUCK LEONARD today 08/04/2026 at 2:10pm, phone number 559-475-5012, to cancel…read morehis enrollment because he decided he didn't want to attend UEI anymore. Chuck told my brother "Why would you do that? That's a horrible idea". He was laughing on the phone while speaking to my brother during this phone call. He also proceeded to tell my brother "What else are you planning to do with your life". Chuck hung up on my brother multiple times after trying to cancel his enrollment. He did not specify if he was going to cancel it which was why we kept calling for confirmation. Chuck continued to give us attitude throughout the phone call without any information. He was avoidant and rude. If this is the representation you guys are putting out, why would anyone ever want to be apart of this college? Talking down on students who decides to not join your college is absolutely ridiculous and inappropriate. Save yourself the headache and go to city college. A place that will ACTUALLY HELP YOU WITHOUT RIDICULING YOU. Also, the phone call was recorded by YOUR phone call system. I hope whoever the director is of UEI goes back and listen to Chuck's inappropriate comments.

    Most instructors here--are knowledgeable and excellent…read more However, the admissions and financial aid process is misleading and predatory. Prospective students are rushed through tours and quickly pushed into signing enrollment contracts without first being clearly told whether they actually qualify for financial aid. Financial aid eligibility should be confirmed before any binding agreement is signed. Instead, students are locked into contracts first, then sent to financial aid afterward, stripping away any real ability to make an informed, responsible decision. The administration and financial aid staff are fully aware of how this process is structured, and they should be ashamed of operating in a way that pressures people into binding financial commitments without full financial transparency. This is especially concerning given that many prospective students are low-income individuals or people in difficult financial circumstances who are seeking a way to improve their situation. That reality makes this lack of transparency even more troubling and irresponsible. This approach prioritizes enrollment over honesty and puts students at unnecessary financial risk based on incomplete information. Schools should be required to verify financial aid eligibility before any enrollment agreement is signed--not after.

    I had a horrible experience at Milan beauty school. So I looked for another school to go to to have…read moremy hair dyed. And I called the Institute of Technology. They saw me right away to dye My hair, I was treated fabulous there. I had all 3 instructors reviewing my hair. It came out perfect. The 2 students working on me were outstanding and I recommend anybody to go there and get your hair dyed

    I graduated from IOT's HVAC program in June of 2026…read more I'll try and keep it as short and to the point as possible. To start to all my fellow veterans DO NOT waste your hard earned GI bill on this place there are better options and you can't get it back. This place is a welfare to work school through and through. As a guy who just got out of the Marines as a mechanic I was looking to get into HVAC and IOT had openings in the program at the time I was looking, they have a pretty solid administration office that sells the school and program to you and give you a sense of professionalism when you do your initial tour. Once you sign the papers and start classes is when you see the reality. To keep it short roughly 90% of your fellow students will be welfare sponsored by what's called workforce connection hence a vast majority don't even want to be there, scroll on their phone all day, barely show up throughout the course. Basically If you show up a few times and type a "1-2 sentences on what you've learned" for each assignment you'll pass, I had a kid in the class that showed up pretty much only for the finals and still graduated with no issues. The staff even made jokes about how bad his attendance was but obviously no one cared enough to ensure there was a professional environment where standards were held for the education and student conduct. I also had an incident where my property was stolen in the lab by a fellow student and luckily I caught him and when confronted he threatened to fight me. Im an adult and not going to partake in foolish activities especially at what's supposed to be a professional education center and followed the proper chain of command for reporting the incident and was ensured it wouldn't be "brushed under the rug" and it would be "properly dealt with" long story short nothing happened with the student, no repercussions happened and he was allowed to continue on like normal and graduated a few weeks later. There was also multiple threats and warnings posted due to other students who were attending this institution. There is no accountability to uphold a safe and professional learning environment from the directors whatsoever. Lastly to wrap it up and hit all the main points I'll give some credit from my personal experience with the staff and say the administrative office does a great job at helping you through the enrollment process, the girls at the front desk are extremely helpful and great at their job, the instructors are good people but you can tell some of them are just there for a paycheck and there's not really a lot of learning that will occur. I had multiple weeks where sometimes we didn't even know who was supposed to be the instructor/substitution for the day because they were absent and us students would sit for hours in class doing nothing until the school scrambled up someone to "sit in" on the class. The school really is just submitting your elementary style homework on an E-textbook and taking the quiz at the end of the week. I will say though Mr. Markus does a great job of instructing in person in the labs and the labs seemed to be improving towards the last few weeks of my time at IOT before graduating since he took some feedback from the students and implemented it into the lab work. I also would like to give credit to Jonathan in career services who does come into the class and try and get to know some of the students and potentially help them in their search for a career. There is a lot of downtime that could be used for instruction and learning where people are typically sitting on their phones, the environment feels more like a high school then it does a college, there is no accountability or expectation for professionalism and safety, you'll walk away from here with a few certs you could have paid a couple hundred bucks instead of 20k+ to take online that you need about a day to study for (the school uses the same courses and tests you can do by yourself online and drags it out over 5 week intervals). If it were up to me I would say look elsewhere for better opportunities, but that's really just my opinion based off my personal experience.
