THE BEST YEARBOOK QUOTES EVER…read more Congratulations to all the starry-eyed high school and college seniors graduating this year! Give yourselves a high five for making it through some crazy times. Not only did you survive a global pandemic, but you also had to deal with endless wildfires, skyrocketing inflation, and those pesky murder hornets. Through it all, you persevered. So much so that I am hereby bestowing upon you the Top 10 best yearbook quotes I have ever received. So use these quotes as inspiration to go forth and make this world slightly less horrible! (1) "I'm surprise you graduate, why you no doctor yet?" -my asian mom (2) "Let's hang this summer" "Best friends 4evrrr!" "True love is rare, but true friendship is rarer." {*never to speak with again*} (3) "Yes, I voted for you in the 'Most Needy' category but you didn't have to beg me for it." (4) "Upon my death, all of my group project classmates shall lower me into my grave to let me down one final time." (5) "So what are you. Asian or Chinese?" (6) "I'm not insecure... unless you want me to be." (7) "Goodbye, everyone. I'll see you in my future therapy sessions." (8) "If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with mesothelioma you may be entitled to cash compensation." (9) "Never do cocaine, even though it sure does smell good!" (10) "I wish there was a way to know you are in the good old days before you have actually passed them." Pro tip: avoid writing "never change" in your loser-friends' yearbooks because too many of them would take it literally. Pro tip: already 35 years young, CSUSM is the system's 21st campus. Here you'll find great educators, small class sizes, and abundant resources. The 2024 U.S. News Best Colleges Report ranks the university 28th in the "Regional Universities West" category. That's pretty good, right?

Completely unprofessional, you don't learn anything. Linda Berry also will not help you with placement. Very useless. They're not here to help you! They just want your money. They do not prepare you to take the NHA exam to get certified either. For your money they just give you a "school diploma", which is worthless. This school lets anyone join and pass. You'll have people come 2 times a month & pass. Literally a joke. Go to PIMA or anywhereeee else.

I'm writing this review to warn others about what truly goes on at this school. My experience was…read morefilled with lies, stress, and complete lack of professionalism. If you're a veteran or a student seeking real education and support, please look elsewhere. From the very beginning, the admissions, financial, career, and academic departments misled me. I was promised a legitimate hybrid program with on-campus instruction, but the school completely misrepresented my attendance and blamed VA. They reported false information that directly affected my VA benefits, and when I tried to get answers, I was met with blaming VA again, avoidance and excuses. The curriculum is severely outdated, and they issued a cheap, barely functional tablet as part of the "Medical Office Specialist" program-then charged me for it. It was never used for any real educational purpose. The learning environment was unsafe and disorganized. We practiced CPR on broken AED machines and damaged mannequins. I was told I'd be retrained when proper equipment arrived but that never happened. Most of the time, my classmates and I had to teach ourselves and our new teacher. I felt genuinely unsafe and mentally drained whenever I came to this location. My original instructor was more focused on decorating for holiday parties and talking about her personal life than teaching. When she was replaced, the new teacher hadn't been trained at all, leaving us in the same situation--completely unsupported. My externship was a mess. I requested a hospital setting and paid out of pocket for my drug test and background check. I submitted the request over five months in advance, but the school didn't lift a finger until four weeks before the deadline--long after it was too late to get a hospital placement. They knew this and still let it slide. What's even more shameful is the way they treated veterans with disrespect and indifference. There was no support, no follow-through, and no accountability. This school is not a real educational institution. it's a business built on scamming students and collecting tuition and VA benefits without delivering the education or training they promise. They will lie to your face, take your money, and leave you with nothing but debt and regret. Do not trust this place. Whether you're a civilian student or a veteran using your hard-earned benefits, you deserve better than this

A recent decision made impacting all students taking asynchronous classes was made this week. The…read moreimplementation of the decision, as well as the decision itself was clearly not well thought out, forcefully and abruptly put in place during the seventh week of the Spring 2025 semester. That is the seventh week of a sixteen week semester. The decision directly conflicts with most course syllabi by way of materially changing the requirements of courses nearly half way completed. The change implements a test proctoring requirement where previously this requirement was unavailable, non-functioning or not required. Being that the requirement was unfairly implemented, it leaves students no opportunity to withdraw and receive a refund due to the very late notification and poorly planned timing. Due to this, students are subjected to unfair practices added after they have completed substantial course work or withdrawal with financial loss in tuition and materials. In addition, asynchronous courses as advertised and as described in Palomar course catalogs are intended to be without scheduling requirements for meeting or other activities. Palomar students depend on this type of course delivery to attend classes due to other time commitments such as children, family, work, etc. The poor timing and lack of consideration of the implementation of scheduled test proctoring is a very questionable endeavor.

I came to Stanbridge University and was immediately welcomed with two big smiles from two women at…read morethe front desk. They were kind and immediately stopped their conversation to greet me. I signed in, and was welcomed right on time for my appointment that I had with Kimberly G. She was amazing at making me feel welcomed. She told me about the programs I had asked for more information on in detail. She was clear with the information she gave me. I needed guidance on two separate programs, and she was so graceful in giving me all of the information that I needed to consider the school. She always asked if I had questions and never made my questions sound dumb. Kim booked me for some testing and gave me a tour. It is small, but will expand soon. I was very impressed by this university. Kimberly G was the best advisor for me, and anyone who needs guidance on their next steps in healthcare should consult with her. Thank you Kimberly!

DO NOT attend this school. Please read before enrolling. I TRANSFERRED TO THE SAN DIEGO LOCATION,…read moreBUT I CAME FROM THE OC LOCATION. The only reason I'm still here is because l'm too deep into my program to transfer. They WANT young, aspiring and scared people to come here because we don't consider rating, reviews, money. but please do your research before confirming enrollment. This school isn't what they say it is. While the accreditations are real, the way the school works is demeaning. You have no power, the student handbook is only written out because the bppe states that every university needs one, but stanbridge is not a school that cares for their students. I used to attend Yasith Weerasuriya's Orange County location, one of four campuses under his ownership. But now I am at the San Diego location. This nursing school is for-profit, and it shows--they're here to make money off of students, not to support our education. From the moment you get in, things change fast. The person who helped you through the enrollment process? They disappear. You'll never hear from them again. After that, you're left to deal with counselors (called SSOs)--and if you're lucky, you'll get one who actually cares. But even then, they have no power. They're not allowed to fix anything that matters. The professors? They don't really teach. Most are kind people stuck in a system where they have to say, teach, and grade exactly how the dean or administrators tell them to. They are at the bottom of the chain, controlled by Yasith and his team. It's like watching puppets being forced to dance. One day, the dean came into our class and said, "I'm sure you guys came here because you didn't get accepted anywhere else." Whether that's true or not, it was harsh, disrespectful, and completely unnecessary. Many of us came here because we wanted to become nurses quickly but this school makes that dream harder, not easier. I've personally witnessed students get unfairly failed and dismissed, even when their work followed the rubric. Professors can fail you just because they don't like you. And don't bother with the appeal process, it's just a delay tactic. They don't read them, they just deny you after a few days and we all get the same email. Why aren't there more lawsuits? Great question. That's because before you even start, they make you sign an arbitration agreement. What is that? An arbitration document means you're giving up your legal right to sue them in court. If something unfair happens, you can't file a lawsuit or be part of a class action. Instead, you have to settle things privately, through a process that usually favors the school. Most students don't even realize what they're signing. Oh, and Yasith the owner? He has no nursing background. His degree is in engineering, yet he's making decisions that affect your education and future nursing license. On top of that, the public face of the school, Victoria S., is just the social media director, not the owner or founder. If they're misrepresenting that, what else are they hiding? I've seen so many students dismissed for no valid reason and am terrified of getting dismissed from the San Diego location. Many believe it's to fund the campus I now go to, the newer San Diego campus. (This campus) This school is a money scheme. If you're serious about becoming a nurse and want to be respected and supported in your journey, go somewhere else. This place will take your money, your time, and your peace of mind and leave you with nothing in return. If you do decide to come here, keep a paper trail. And do not be afraid to speak your voice. They can not treat you unfairly due to you speaking up. Don't be afraid of them. They run off of scared individuals. THIS REVIEW IS GOING TO CONSTANTLY BE UPDATED THROUGHOUT MY TIME HERE. 5/9/2025
