It appears they do not accommodate single parents. I have been told by a few single parents they…read morehave to make the decisions on where you do your clinicals for respiratory therapy. Single parents are making huge sacrifices to go to school, so they do not have to depend on government assistance and then you gaslight them, making them feel bad because they have obligations. School is first, I'm sorry, children are first and always will be. Did you forget about DCFS, if you don't take care of your kids they will. We want parents to strive for success and not sabotage their career by adding another hurdle in the way of supporting their kids on their own. I read another negative yelp on respiratory therapy after I posted mine. My hope this helps single parents who are searching for a career about their decision to attend this school for respiratory therapist. I also hope it changes the direction and focus of the school to help support our future. This is a technical school to learn a trade and it can be costly to choose this route. Let's support our future by talking to them, not making them feel bad because they have kids or other responsibilities with them, instead let's encourage, support and provide empathy to help them complete their desire to flourish as a respiratory therapist.

Words cannot describe what a joke the respiratory therapy program at Platt College - Alhambra is…read more So I'll just post my story and what I found from my research. This is one of those reviews "if I can give negative stars", I would types. I've already emailed both Chris Becker and Megan Clifton earlier this year and no one has responded. I've listened and did everything Nicole and my instructors told me to do and still had a difficult time passing my boards and finding a job. I've got no response when emailing them for help, but they (Nicole and Platt college) expect me to respond to their surveys. It just felt like half of the cohort I was with were failing. I won't say what year I finished. I know I'll be gaslit. So onto what I discovered. I googled the pass rate for this school. Imagine my glee when I saw the abysmal performance. If you don't trust me, search "Respiratory Care Board pass rates" and you should eventually find a pdf document with the pass rates for this school and other campuses. I'll attach an image illustrating what I saw.  If you got 50-60% on a test, you would fail right? But these guys who were getting BELOW the state AVERAGE for the past few years get to keep their job. I like to remind you that I informed Chris Becker (the college president) of this. Basically about half of the students who attend this school for respiratory therapy end up becoming licensed respiratory practitioners. I will admit that I'm writing this with a little bit of bitterness. Imagine the staff with roughly a 50% pass rate telling you you're not knowledgeable enough. I honestly think this school is brought the state average down lol. In the end, numbers don't lie.

There's a shortage of healthcare workers. You'd figure they'd want people to graduate and come out strong instead of beat down, broke and taken advantage of. Look elsewhere for an education. I hope this place crumbles. Response to Victoria: Hey Victoria, why don't you take a look at your instructors to better understand my concern. How about an audit. How about listening and acting up in student complaints? Your responses to reviews are so generic. Copy and paste. This place is garbage.

Transferred here during the lingering effects of the pandemic. (Fall 2021) My first year was fully…read moreremote and 2nd year was starting to go back in-person. Graduated during Summer 2023. Parking was $220 + Sales Tax during Fall/Spring semesters. Winter/Summer are a bit cheaper. As a business major, professors here in my experience weren't the best. Rarely you'll get a highly knowledgeable professor with legit experience in the field you're studying in. Some professors just make me wonder how in the world they get to teach in the first place. For example, we had an HR professor making us type 10 page essays every week with no substance to it. Overall: I did enjoy my experience here. I did what I can in those 2 years, 1 year being remote. Worked here as a SA. There's definitely a lot of improvements needed to be made. From school initiatives, in-house internships, old buildings that need to be replaced, library study room filled with mold, administration-student relationships etc. Students should be more engaging here and I just didn't get the vibe here in most classes. My recommendation if you're considering going here is to do as much research as you can and try your best to foster self-initiatives and join clubs or work on campus. Key Takeaways: - CSULA is a commuter school so expect many students to not being sociable or engaging. Many friends I've talked to who went here agreed on the same thing. - Lots of politics - CSULA is conveniently located by the I-710 and I-10 freeways. - Food Court consist of Fast Food (El Pollo Loco, Carl's Jr., Panda Express etc) (Not many food choices near by campus) - Old buildings. Some with mold on them or elevators not working. - WiFi Connection in Salazar Hall or King Hall may be weak for some.

This is the second class I have take at PCC's Rosemead campus and I have to say it has both pros…read moreand cons. For me the major con is it's a bit of a drive but for those who live closer to this campus location it would not be an issue at all. The second con is due to it being so small (it's literally just one large building 2 floors) in comparison to the main PCC campus and extension campus on Foothill in Pasadena not as many courses are offered. Pros are FREE, yes I said it FREE parking. Both semesters I have taken classes here there has never been an issue finding parking in the medium sized lot. There are signs that state there is a nearby lot with shuttle service accommodation if the main one becomes full. I have yet to utilize the second lot. Another plus is they do have some counseling services available, as well as a student services center with a reasonable study space and microwaves available. I have only take classes winter and summer session here so cannot speak in Regards of other devices that may be offered during the full fall and spring terms. A neat thing that I saw upon entering the campus was a small table set up with a keurig coffee maker with kpods. People are welcomed to bring there own cup to use and cookies are sometimes put out for students as well. There is also a basket for food joint coupons so that you can add or take if needed. This is free and I thought it was very thoughtful.

The program is demanding, and the professors are out of this world knowledgeable, supportive, and empathetic. The professors are super understanding and flexible with student schedules (you have to meet deadlines but they understand life happens, so they work with you), which makes it a lot less stressful. I feel very supported here and prepared to meet the demands of a licensed psychologist in the next few years. In terms of the campus, the building is small but that's all they need. The campus is located with other graduate schools and sitting outside is nice. It's well kept. There is a Starbucks right across the street, and they get a lot of business from us! Overall, I highly recommend this school. 10/10!

What bothers me most is that there was no clear communication or reminder about this requirement. I had uploaded my TEAS score with the application, assuming it was sufficient. They never emailed, called, or gave me a chance to correct it. Instead, they quietly disqualified my application without a single follow-up. When I contacted the office, I was simply told to "apply again next August" like it was no big deal. For a program that demands professionalism and attention to detail, it's incredibly ironic how little they offered in terms of student support or basic communication. I expected more from an institution that claims to train future healthcare professionals. I won't be applying again.

The following is derived from my experience as a student at CIAM…read more Perspectives from my experience.... If you are looking for an MBA program, choose wisely, but first consider your priorities. CIAM is a school focused more on writing and searching google images than on real practical business management skills. A couple of the professors are engaged, knowledgeable, and motivated to teach the students whereas most of the others are there to boast and compete with the students. Very few of the professors have actual business experience or truly understand how to launch or manage a business. Yet, they condescend to the students as if they are world renown lecturers unlike larger professional schools where the experience from the student population adds to the lessons. Some students are permitted to openly plagiarize without punishment as the rules for some are not the rules for others. Yes, there are no tests, but there are numerous papers. The writing and research is helpful but many of those grading have a weak knowledge of writing skills hence offer poor or incorrect feedback. The presentation practice is also useful, but again, the feedback from some of the professors is second rate and unprofessional. Additionally, if a professor asks you to complete extra credit work for a higher grade, get it in writing. Professors (and the school) make promises but rarely stand by them. They will ask you to cover for nonperforming students then give all students the same grade, including the nonperformer. If you enjoy doing the work for other students and the professors without due credit, then CIAM is for you. Some students are allowed to complete the program without ever completing the work, while others are penalized because the professor did not like their fashion taste or the professor was intellectually challenged by the student. And, beware if you require accommodations for a disability. One student was refused an accommodation after surgery. The choice was to "do like everyone else" or "receive a '0'". The projects are interesting for the first class or two, but then they become monotonous and not stimulating. The companies are often of the same type; the requirement from the professor the same; and the motivated students have to do the work for the same under-achievers. Almost as if the motivated students are earning multiple diplomas, but with different names. The textbooks are in sad disrepair. Hobbled with a multitude of errors, students are chastised for not using the outdated resources, even though many were no longer posted on the internet. Not exactly state-of-the-art, also the text was of low quality. The Founder and President is seriously dated. He has no concept about the job market today or the demands of potential employers with the internet and legalities larger companies prefer to follow, such as filling out applications online prior to interviews. His advise "refuse to". Sure he "wrote 100 books", but most of them were self-published. Not exactly peer-reviewed journal articles. He grades projects not on the quality of research and writing, but by the number of pages and weight of the paper. He may have a great pedigree, but the work does not demonstrate the supposed skills from such fabulous schools. Again, ask yourself your motivation for an MBA. If it is to find a better job then guess again. The extent of the school's career services is to post a student's resume on Monster: an inept effort for a Masters degree graduate.
