This school presents itself as a good choice for online students, but…read morewhat they don't tell you is that you have to show up in person before you can register for classes AND before you can collect your financial aid. The in-person requirements make sense, but they must include that information during the online orientation. I had to drive three hours to this school, last minute, for identity verification. After I got back home, I discovered I had to drive all the way back to hand in my documents at the financial aid office. Communication with Counseling and Admission and Records is a slow process. There are too many issues to cover, but I'm left with a sense that this school has run out money to pay their staff. It's a nice looking school, but I suspect they may be going through some serious budgeting issues, because they seem to struggle to keep business moving.

Furthermore, she takes her time to explain the treatments, as well as explain how to go about it if any concerns come up after treatment. The front receptionists are also always patient and friendly. As a plus size patient and LGBTQ+ patient, I've had a wonderful experience here that has felt safe, and never are my symptoms dismissed. Most recently, they also helped me to health resources for after I graduate. Grateful for the whole team here!

The most disappointing healthcare experience I've ever had. The doctors here are rushed,…read moredismissive, and show no real interest in helping patients find meaningful solutions. Every visit feels like a checkbox, you're in, you're out, and left with more questions than answers. I've seen two different doctors through this clinic for both weight management and debilitating migraines, and each time I've left feeling unheard and defeated. Despite arriving on time to every appointment, I've consistently been seen late and then rushed through in under five minutes. When I spoke to one doctor about my inability to lose weight -- despite working out two hours a day, doing intense cardio, exceeding 10,000 steps daily, eating a gluten-free diet, and having tried multiple nutritional plans -- I was told, "You probably don't notice how many calories you're eating." That statement alone was incredibly dismissive, especially after everything I had explained. If you know me you would know I don't eat like people think every college kid eats, I don't eat maruchan soups or chips and soda. I cook everyday and make healthy and clean homage meals. If I'm doing everything "by the book" and nothing's working, shouldn't that raise concern? Instead, I was met with blame and no willingness to investigate further. As for my migraines, which are severe enough to cause nausea, vomiting, extreme light sensitivity, and missed school days, the same doctor suggested they might just be "regular headaches". I had already told her that the previous medication she prescribed didn't help, yet she showed no urgency or compassion. The final straw was being told: "You would have to make another appointment to discuss this -- I don't think you want to take time away from the next student." Like seriously such an unnecessary comment. I had made this appointment specifically for weight and migraine issues -- clearly stated in the intake form -- and she was 20 minutes late. Yet I'm the one expected to reschedule? This kind of treatment is exactly why many students avoid campus healthcare services altogether. It's disheartening, mentally exhausting, and makes you feel like giving up on finding help for serious health concerns. When you're struggling and finally take the step to seek help, the last thing you want is to be dismissed, rushed, or made to feel like a burden. If you're looking for real care, real answers, or even just human decency, this is not the place.

We have worked with Michelle Podbelsek for both of our kids. They are very different types of kids…read moreand therefore had different styles and approaches to the college hunt. In both cases, Michelle was a godsend. She regularly met independently with the kids and always provided me with a status afterwards which meant that the kids could drive their own process but I was comfortable with the direction and the partnership was super easy. Both kids have said "I don't know what I would have done without her" Her counsel is always honest, fair and spot on, while being delivered in a supportive way. The process is so tough and so emotional, and she managed to identify its harsh realities while keeping the kids feeling good about themselves and identifying options that worked for them. The office is very well run. They call and remind you before every appointment. Billing is easy to understand. All in all, a totally terrific place and super highly recommended.

Ryan was a great resource to have and I couldn't have done as well as I did on the GMAT without him!

Had the opportunity to visit the campus this past Friday and was thoroughly impressed! In my…read moreopinion... this is hands down the best campus in the state for MA or LVN. There's a peacefulness and ambience you get here, I haven't seen at other schools I visited. You can hear and see the ocean, you see rustic streams and redwoods. You can see peaceful wildlife in the same setting as it once stood 100 years ago all from the doorsteps of your classroom. I was welcomed by a polite woman named Kayla, who provided me with a tour of the school, its recognition of Pride Month, and Unitek's Mission Statement. I am not gay, but as Asexual I feel like I'm different... than other men. But the school's recognition of Pride Month seemed genuine and organic, like it's not just about Pride, it's about everyone here. A lot of the Pride Decorations they had were hand made and not store bought showing the time they put into Pride. Lots of inclusivity here. What I liked during my tour is that the classrooms were a size that I know my instructor will hear me, see me, and understand me. It felt like the student to instructor ratio would be very conducive for any learning curve. We came upon a girl quietly studying in the dark in the computer lab; locked in mentally, so much she didn't even notice us peer in the room. There's zero; if any distractions on this campus, yet it's close to everything no other campus in the state has. It's on the dead end of a street that's nestled in a forest hill type setting surrounded by the Pacific Ocean and Beautiful Hiking Cliffs and Pathways. A "Hikers Paradise" if you say. I surf literally 10 min from this campus and I know I can go from my wetsuit in the water to school in 20 min. There's no traffic to deal with, plenty of parking and several rooms for rent within walking distance. There's a 24 Hour Fitness, a Mall, and a legal launch point for Paragliding all within a 5-10 min drive. Maybe I'll take a pic of the school as I fly by one day. Kayla went out of her way to fit me in for a meet and greet with the Admissions Counselor and Dean of School, Milo. I felt very comfortable. Everyone is nice. No one was on "business mode" or "stare at my phone mode". They gave me their undivided attention, and it meant a lot to me. I assure you; you can't just expect to go to any School, arrive on a walk-in, and get to speak to the Dean, Admissions, and get a tour all in the first hour! I like that the Admissions Counselor wasn't all about pushing me into a program or making feel like they just wanted my money. She actually really wanted to make sure that my plan and intentions were feasible. See... I live in Pacifica, but I run a company in Sacramento and I'm retiring this summer and transitioning to school while I drive for Uber.... and it can be hard to explain my situation. She actually took an extended amount of time with me and wanted to schedule an interview. If they were all about the money or needed the money, I'm already approved for Loans, Pell Grant, and Cal Grant... if that was the case, they'd be expediting my Pre-Requisites and background checks. But she genuinely was vested in giving me her time... and school starts this month so I won't waste it. I'm glad she did, because to be honest with you, after giving it thought; I believe the MA path is right for me. If I want to eventually transition to LVN or BSN, all that is available to me in the Unitek Network. Stay tuned for Graduation Pics next year!

It's a pretty diverse school, and a lot of people who attend this seminary (at least, when I was there) are going into their second, or third career. I went there right out of college and was the youngest student. They really encourage you to think critically. I loved taking classes at the other seminaries, too. I loved taking Greek because it really brought out new things to me in the Bible. They have even started a new program/degree for those who have already graduated from seminary but want to continue their education and stay sharp, for which I would like to go back. The setting in Berkeley is fabulous, too! Unfortunately they did a lot of reconstruction to their apartment buildings, which had been beautifully constructed in the 20's or so. Now they can hold more students, though. It's within a few blocks of Cal; the dorms are nearby the seminary; I had to get used to firetrucks in the middle of the night during the school year.
