No map will be provided if you are unfamiliar with the location.

I was also recommended to just sign up for classes even if they weren't the right ones because it's better to be in a class while I wait on credit approval. -they make you pay for parking but don't enforce rules -campus is disgusting especially AD building and restrooms -homeless camp there and do drugs and doesn't feel safe

    As a fellow yelper said it so well.. are we really going to rate USC on Yelp? LOL!!…read more I am delighted and thrilled to share I am now an alumna of USC. As a yelper here for over 13 years, I don't sugarcoat my words (or in my reviews), and I don't intend to do so here either. The USC program is rigorous and not for everyone. There were so many readings that I often genuinely wondered if it was even humanly possible to get through them all. Granted, I am a slow reader, and that certainly did not help. Beyond the beautiful campus and the prestige that comes with the school, more importantly know that there is no financial aid for tuition fees for master program. Education does not come cheap. Still I am grateful for the learning experience and for my many professors who were simply wonderful and amazing professionals. A big shout out to Dr. Julianna Kirschner, Professor Monica Koyama, Dr. Muthuswamy and Dr. Courtney Pade. P.S. I do wish I had been in the class of Dr. Bracero and Dr. Akira; I have heard so many amazing things about them.

    Founded in 1880 by Robert MacClay Widney, USC is the oldest private research university in…read moreCalifornia. I didn't attend this prestigious University; however, I joke that I am an honorary alumna. My brothers from another mother all graduated from here, and I attend Homecoming with them every year. In fact, I used to work with Eddie Tannenbaum who discovered Traveler (USC's Mascot) when he was a junior in 1961. The campus is beautiful and features several Romanesque Revival style buildings. A portion of the main campus was entered in the National Register of Historic Places in 2015. The Coliseum is in walking distance. I've attended many football games here over the years and have seen Clay Matthews, Reggie Bush, Mark Sanchez, & Matt Leinart play. I remember the glory days of Pete Carroll. Our favorite tailgate party is the one hosted by LAMBDA. They have a great DJ, delicious food, a premium bar, fun activities and, of course, fabulous attendees! This year we were treated to yummy eats from Bludso's BBQ & tasty treats by Ice Cream Occasions. When the party was over, we all headed to the Coliseum for the match between the Trojans & the Huskies. Sadly, we lost this game but we will continue to Fight On!

From helping me build and perfect my résumé to guiding me through interviews and navigating life after graduation, she has always been encouraging, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in my success. Her guidance gave me confidence during such an important transition in my life, and I'm so grateful for all the time and care she put into helping me reach my goals. Any student would be lucky to have someone like Marcy in their corner!

    I'm Anthony Dominguez. I enrolled in CBD College's Physical…read moreTherapist Assistant program, passed Module 1 with strong exam scores, and balanced full-time work while caring for my hospitalized mother. I brought proof of every absence and every shift. None of that mattered. Financial Aid? A wall of silence. Calls unanswered, emails ignored. When I asked for an out-of-pocket cost for semester two, nobody could even give a number. Instead of support, I got a cancellation notice. Academics? I did the work. I submitted every essay. My English instructor, Donna Madison Bell, failed me over petty formatting and quotation marks. That one class--on paper--gave the College the excuse they needed to drop me. The rest of the staff? Either unresponsive or buried behind ticket systems so slow the problems outlived the semester. Even with proof of my situation, they left me locked out of Module 2. Here's what it means in plain language: CBD College hides behind policy and "conditional enrollment" while students like me do the hard work. They take your aid, drag their feet, and when the system they built fails you, they blame you. I believe the way I was treated--while being a Hispanic student who delivered results--was discriminatory. That's my lived experience. Don't be fooled by the handful of kind instructors. I respect Jessica in Medical Terminology and Anatomy & Physiology; she's solid. But one good teacher can't cover for an institution that cancels a student who passes exams and proves commitment. CBD College didn't remove me because I failed. They removed me because their own process failed. And now they've lost a determined, high-performing student. That's on them. I won't reapply. I won't recommend. There are stronger programs--American Career College, Stanbridge University--that respect hard work and answer the phone. If you value your time, money, and future, take your ambition elsewhere. CBD College had the chance to back a fighter. Instead, they made an enemy. Let's deal in facts, not marketing copy. You claim: "This process exists to ensure the program is a good academic and personal fit before any binding tuition obligations are incurred." If that were true, I wouldn't have been dropped after acing every exam (95 % and higher, 100 % on quizzes). Testing knowledge is the very definition of proving academic fit. Your own numbers prove me fit. Dropping a student who meets and exceeds those standards contradicts your statement outright. That's not a "fit evaluation," that's a policy weapon. You also claim: "No tuition charges... no tuition is ever collected until the student meets the conditional enrollment criteria." Yet financial aid staff (name on record: Callie Driskill) told me in writing that any aid already applied to Module 1 will not be reimbursed and that if a student is forced to repeat Module 1-- even if they didn't truly fail-- financial aid may not cover the second run. Translation: students are on the hook for up to $18,000 for general-ed classes before you ever grant "full" admission. That is money collected. Your own email trail proves it. So which is it? No tuition collected, or students risking $18k with zero guarantee of aid if you decide they must retake a module they already passed? Both can't be true. And here's the core issue you keep dodging: CBD College doesn't reward mastery of the material. It rewards ticking boxes inside an opaque policy. Teachers can fail a student over petty format quirks or simply poor instruction, and your system converts that into cash--forcing another paid module no matter how well the student knows the subject. That is discrimination by policy. To anyone reading: this isn't about one student's bad day. It's structural. You can ace every test, submit every assignment, and still be dropped because the College's bottom line wins over your education. CBD College isn't protecting students from "binding tuition obligations." It's creating them. That's the scam. -- Anthony Dominguez Former PTA student who earned 95 %+ on every exam and still got dropped

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.

    I can't recommend the ACC LA Radiography Program enough. I want to give a huge thank you to Mr. M,…read moreMr. Demers, Mr. S, Mr. Burkhart, Mr. Flowers, and Ms. B for everything they've done for me. They played a huge role in helping me graduate, preparing me for the ARRT, and giving me the confidence to succeed in this profession. One thing I want future students to know is that these instructors truly want nothing but the best for you. They will push you because they care. Sometimes their feedback can be tough, but it's never personal because they want you to become a safe, knowledgeable, and successful radiologic technologist. Looking back, I'm grateful for every lesson and every challenge because it made me a better technologist. A special shoutout to both Mr. M and Mr. Demers. They are both exceptional instructors whose passion for radiography and dedication to their students is unmatched. They genuinely care about every student's success and always go above and beyond to make sure you understand the material, think critically, and become the best technologist you can be. Their years of experience, knowledge, and commitment to teaching are evident every single day. I've even had people from other schools and other states message me saying how lucky I was to be taught by Mr. M because of his reputation in the radiography community. Together, Mr. M and Mr. Demers didn't just prepare us to pass the ARRT. They prepared us to become competent, confident, and safe radiologic technologists. Mr. S, Mr. Burkhart, and Mr. Flowers were amazing throughout clinicals. They always made sure we stayed on top of our clinical rotations, competencies, and hours, and they were always there to guide us every step of the way. Their support and mentorship helped us grow into confident technologists who were ready for real-world clinical practice. I also want to thank Ms. B for always being supportive, patient, encouraging, and committed to helping every student succeed. This program is challenging, and it's not supposed to be easy. Success takes effort from both the instructors and the students. If you come in ready to learn, study, accept feedback, and put in the work, these instructors will do everything they can to help you succeed. For me, every dollar of tuition was worth it. I graduated feeling prepared, passed my ARRT, and now I'm starting my career with confidence. I have absolutely no regrets choosing this program. Thank you again to the entire faculty for believing in me, pushing me to be my best, and helping me build the foundation for my career. I will always be grateful. RTR

    I completed the IV Therapy & Blood Withdrawal Certification course at Los Angeles Career College,…read moreand I have to say--this place runs smoother than most hospital floors I've worked on. The staff was organized, check-in was easy, and the hybrid format made the whole process painless (unlike some IV attempts I've witnessed in real life). What really impressed me was how efficient everything was. Once I passed my exam, they handed me my certificate the same day--no waiting, no chasing emails, no mysterious "processing time." Just boom. Certified. I wish everything in healthcare worked that fast. Now for the real highlight: Instructor Steele Erickson. Steele is the kind of nursing instructor you secretly hope for but never expect to get. He breaks down IV therapy and blood withdrawal with such clarity and patience that even tricky techniques suddenly feel manageable. He teaches with a calm, supportive energy that makes everyone relax. He's incredibly knowledgeable, genuinely invested in every student, and somehow keeps the class both educational and entertaining. As someone with 25+ years in healthcare, I can confidently say instructors like Steele do not grow on trees. If you're considering getting your IV Certification, go to Los Angeles Career College and hope you get Steele Erickson as your instructor. You'll walk away confident, competent, and wondering why every nursing class can't be this smooth. Highly recommended!

Life got in the way a couple of times during this portion of the class and I was able to talk to Mika and figure out a plan so that I wouldn't have to miss class. I also loved listening to her real life stories of working in nursing. The course I took was 5 weeks, 8 hours a day. The first two weeks were online. There is a lot of reading, a lot of quizzes, and several tests, but you get the hang of it quickly. The second week was practical where you learned the skills. I got pretty frustrated when I didn't get the skill right the first time, but the fact is that there are a lot of steps to the skills and these are brand new things that I'm learning. It all falls into place when you go into the clinical. You get to apply what you learned in class and in your practical learning. I especially loved my clinical rotations at the hospital. It gave me such a bigger perspective on the healthcare industry and patient care. I learned so much and discovered that I really liked working in ER. I look forward to applying everything I learned in my future career.
