    I went to WPU in 2008 for a medical assistant course that the Workforce Development gave me a grant…read morefor. I learned about cyber security and how colleges are scams. The first thing they asked me for was my e mail address. Why? They never sent me any e mails. They need this to break into your computer. If you ask them for there e mail address you will just get the sounds of silence. They followed me around for years before I learned how to stop them. You need a VPN (virtual private network) on your cell phone. I would strongly advise anyone to think twice before you make a BIG mistake going to "college". These people are detrimental to society. P.S. My Workforce development counselor was fired. The shut down the Clifton NJ office. Ouch! People that work for the government are psycho neurotic.

    As a first-generation, Black, gender non-conforming student at William Paterson University, my…read moreexperience has been nothing short of transformational. WPU not only supported my academic journey--allowing me to graduate with a 3.6 GPA and honors--but also helped me grow as a leader, an advocate, and a whole person. Serving as the Student Government Association's Vice President of Judicial Review and as the student representative on the HESSA Advisory Board gave me meaningful opportunities to shape campus policies and uplift student voices. These roles taught me responsibility, collaboration, and the importance of creating spaces where all students feel seen and heard. I'm especially proud and humbled to have received the Social Justice Award. It reflects the university's commitment to equity and the ways it empowers students to lead with purpose. Throughout my time here, I found professors, staff, and peers who genuinely cared about my success and well-being. The community at WPU uplifted me in moments when I doubted myself and celebrated me in moments of triumph. William Paterson University is a place where first-generation students can thrive, where diverse identities are embraced, and where leadership opportunities open doors to real impact. I'm grateful for the experiences, connections, and confidence I've gained--and I'll carry them with me long after graduation.

    I have no idea why this specific Fortis location isn't on Yelp. I've seen other Fortis locations…read morelisted, but they have different addresses, so to be clear, this review is for the Fortis Institute located at 450 N Sam Houston Pkwy E, Ste 200, Houston, TX 77060. I attended this school for the Medical Assistant program to work toward becoming a CCMA (Certified Clinical Medical Assistant). At the beginning, my experience was okay and I didn't have many issues with my classes or instructors. However, as I got further into the program, my experience started to change. There were three staff members in particular that I had issues with. 1. Ms. Marin: I later found out that she would talk about me and my friends, and there were times when she would call us out in front of the entire class in a way that made us feel singled out or less than everyone else. I don't think students should be made to feel embarrassed in front of their classmates, especially by an instructor. 2. Ms. Nun: Whenever I had class with her, I felt like we barely learned anything. I specifically remember my friends and I asking if we could go through the skills list and practice different things to see what we still remembered and what we needed more help with. We were trying to make sure we were actually prepared, but our request was basically ignored and we barely practiced anything. 3. Ms. Moxcley: Toward the end of the program, we were told that we would receive assistance with finding employment. I remember reaching out to her multiple times about finding a job, but I would either receive no response or very little communication. Because I wasn't getting anywhere, I recently contacted Ms. Goss for help finding an MA position. I explained that I'm specifically interested in working as a Medical Assistant in an OB/GYN clinic. She told me she would call me. When she called, I happened to be busy and missed it, but I returned her call shortly afterward. She didn't answer, so I sent her a message letting her know I had called back and was available. This happened Tuesday. By Friday, I still had not received a response to any of the messages I sent afterward. I finally sent another message, and she responded saying she would call me "momentarily." I waited about two hours and still did not receive a call. That is what finally pushed me to leave this review. One of the things students are told is that Fortis will help them with employment after completing the program. In my experience, once you're finished with the school, getting that help has been extremely frustrating. Messages go unanswered, communication is inconsistent, and the employment assistance I was told I would receive has not been what I expected. I also don't understand the point of asking students what area they want to specialize in as an MA if the positions they are being directed toward aren't related to what they said they were interested in. I understand that nobody can guarantee you a specific job, but there is a difference between not being able to guarantee employment and simply not communicating with a former student who is actively asking for assistance. I completed my program and I'm genuinely trying to start my career and put my education to use. I'm not asking anyone to hand me a job. I'm asking for the career assistance and communication that we were told would be available to us. Unfortunately, my experience trying to receive that assistance has been extremely disappointing.

    I've been a student at DeVry University for about a year and four months now and can honestly say…read morethat when it comes to technical degree programs, DeVry is among the best. The way the program is structured works incredibly well for me. I find that two courses per session (8 weeks) works better than four classes per semester (15 to 16 weeks). This type of schedule allows you to focus and actually retain what you are being taught as opposed to the traditional four course model where you are cramming and regurgitating information for all four classes simultaneously, retaining very little. Another huge bonus is the online aspect. If you wish to do so, you can take the vast majority of your courses online and learn in the comfort of your own home. If you are on the go or on a vacation and need to check in to do a discussion post, DeVry has a fantastic phone application that allows you to access your courses from anywhere your smartphone or tablet has data access. There are countless benefits to a school like DeVry and all I can say is that it is well worth giving it a shot if you work a full-time job or just want to transition back into school at a comfortable pace. DeVry truly encourages a wholesome, open learning environment and is willing to work with their students to ensure they get the education they deserve.
