I came into Brookline because I was told over the phone they had a nursing program.When I showed up…read morethey only had medical assisting and other programs I wasn't interested in,which was a little frustrating since I drove that far on my one day off to come in.But I explained to them it was a misunderstanding no big deal.Liv is so sweet but then Amanda the director of admissions started asking me all these questions and instead redirecting me to another school,she told me that she was "concerned" based on my "level of education" that nursing was going to be too hard.Asked me if I can even handle a 4 hour test.Told me only 50% can even get in. She was very condescending and rude.Also said I'm going to be in tons of debt and said I would likely not be able to afford the out of pocket.She asked me really unnecessary questions like how much my paychecks are. I never feel the need to write bad reviews but she was unbelievably pushy and made a lot of assumptions about me as a person.I felt judged and I know she is trying to get people to take classes at this school that is her job but I will never attend this school!Even if I consider medical assisting I will find somewhere else to take my hard earned money.Amanda is a terrible sales person. I didn't fall for her scummy sales tactics.I'm only giving this 3 stars because Liv and the financial aid were very helpful with trying to get me back on track with my other student loans.

Don't waste your time going to the school. Changed books halfway through my time here and you would…read morethink for $15,000 for medical assistant program that they would actually provide you with the new book which is a completely different version than the one we first started out with. But no, I was told I could buy the book at a "discounted rate" of $150!!! program director Jamie Alvey is NO HELP and does NOT care about the well being of any student that goes here. We are a paycheck to her and that's all l. On the other hand the ONE good thing about Brookline was the two "teachers" more like mentors! Fanta and Lidia ! Without them the program is trash and they're the ONLY reason we all kept going in my class at least.

However, when it came to the administrative side of things it was some part and best. From what I understand there were several people that were told to take out Plus loans before graduating even though the administration said that all the bills were paid up for the students. We should have known something was going bad at that point that 2018 the doors were closed.

If you're an employee it's about $160 per month. The facilities are nice and frequently cleaned by a nice crew. There currently isn't a cafeteria on the facilities, but just a short walk across the lawn there is a Starbucks as well as the Rev Bistro. I really enjoy the area. I like to take a quick, quiet walk on my lunch break and take in the scenery. It's a really peaceful area that is convenient to public transportaion and shopping.

I am now half way through the program, debating on dropping it as I have found it to be a waste of my G.I bill but I absolutely hate dropping something I start. You get more classes of English, business, environmental science, physical science, and gen. eds. than you do dedicated "gunsmithing". Not saying this is all bad as I have learned some things I would not have taken the time to do on my own but it is not in the slightest what I thought I was signing up for. They have courses on woodwork, polishing, a brief ( very brief) section of metal work and holster making class and the rest seem to be gen eds just filling time. The tools and supplies they send you are the definition of " bottom of the barrel", instructors do not follow the same grading format. I currently have a C average in one class due to my citation list and bibliography at the end of assignments while in another class I have an A average ( I use the same citation format for both classes and one instructor docks 25 points out of 100 for the citation, only difference between the two grades) I don't recommend this school in the slightest, you are better off to find someone you can apprentice under, or if you are lucky enough to start young: go to an actual hands on residency college. If worst comes, watch Youtube and you'll be more proficient and streamlined in learning. -T. Hunt

I'm leaving a review because I notice there were two that represented their experience, but there…read moreare thousands of us now who had a different experience. What stood out the most to me, I had attended Indiana University, U of Evansville and when I went back to school due to convenience and my constant need to study, I had many profs that were superior to what I had received at a Big 10 school. Further, I finished my degree, mostly online with ASU and NAU and -- I'm speaking to the Soc. Dept. -- they were amazing! Also took some graduate work from there, but was in my late 50's when I graduated and I still want to finish my Masters and you know what I want next! I had two women prof, part of NAU, needed to lose their job. At PVCC and at art classes in Scottsdale, they did their job. I had some crap profs in Bloomington and you know how it goes, you usually have to teach entry level one of the semester unless you are the dept. head. I'm quite proud of our large community college system and the variety of careers that came from them and will continue = hoping most go on to higher education. Just keep learning, every day, in some way. Make your own homework, you don't have to be signed up. Graduated with mucho Honors, the way old ladies do.

The Maricopa Community College group is relatively bad, however, this review pertains specifically…read moreto Rio Salado College. Rio Salado College holds a special place in my heart as it is by far outright horrible in every way imaginable. The online teachers clearly do not care about their jobs and they do not care at all about their students. Check out Rio Salado on RateMyProfessor.com and you'll find that there is no lack of source material about how much the majority of the teachers suck. Expect email response times from your beloved teachers here to exceed a week. Perhaps you'll get one of the professors that requires a ridiculously impractical amount of work for their class, or maybe you'll get one that grades so harshly that one seemingly menial assignment will ruin your chances of passing the class entirely. Or if you are lucky enough, you will get one of the professors that, in their laziness and pride, would rather threaten to fail you for "misunderstanding the assignment" or concept or what have you, than accept the possibility that their class material lacks clarity. Experiences such as these are why I strongly advise never attending this school. Additionally, the online school websites are wildly out of date, adding another layer of unnecessary complexity to whole thing... And next comes the administration and the financial aid office. These people are just plain unorganized and idiotic. I don't know what they have going on in their offices, but I have not received financial aid 2 months after I should've because they "lost" my documents somehow. After re-sending them on multiple occasions, still no luck. Maybe I do just have bad luck, but there is clear and abundant evidence online. Instead of flushing your money down the toilet, save your money for a real school. Rio Salado is a joke.

On Thursday, Feb. 20, I called to make an appt for a cleaning. Shanna was the friendly person I…read morespoke with. She had no availabilities, so she added me to their wait list which already had 10 people on it. I had been here for a cleaning a few years earlier, with no wait, so I wasn't expecting a wait list. It would have been nice if I had been informed about that when I called a week or two prior with a few questions. But alas, this is the New America, where information no longer is forth coming without pulling teeth (no pun intended). A week and a half later, on a Monday, I called to find out what my status was. There were 3 people ahead of me. That means that in one week, they took 7 people off the list and I was at #4. It is now April 3rd and I've yet to receive any call from this school. I came into Phx special for getting my teeth cleaned. I'm leaving tomorrow because it's more than obvious that they have no interest in calling me. This time around the experience with this school has been 180 degrees different than the first time. The lack of communication, and the pitiful "explanation" given me when I called a week after the first status check just screams that management has changed. In addition, that friendly person I spoke with the first time couldn't have been Shanna as the person I spoke with the 2 subsequent times was seriously not friendly. Thank you Rio Salado Dental Clinic for wasting my time and energy. I wish you bad karma.

What I like about this school compared with others is that the students do the entire cleaning in 1 visit. At other schools you have to come back, some, several visits.
