I've had a good experience at Fortis College in the HVAC program. The instructors are knowledgeable…read moreand actually want to see you succeed, and the hands-on training helps a lot.

My experience at Fortis has been nothing short of life-changing. Every instructor played a role in…read moreshaping me into the medical professional I am becoming, and I want to acknowledge them individually. Dr. K -- Tough? Absolutely. But every ounce of his toughness came from seeing our greatness before we could see it ourselves. Because of his technique and high standards, I know how to draw blood with confidence. Now that I'm out on externship, I still hear his voice in my head reminding me to stand out, be proficient, and carry myself with professionalism. His approach was never easy, but it was always for the betterment of our success. Ms. Jowers -- Truly the backbone of our program. She works tirelessly around the clock to make sure we're squared away. No matter how busy she is, she always finds time to help students fix errors, understand the process, and keep moving forward. She never wants to see us fail, and her dedication to Fortis, to herself, and to all of her students is unmatched. Ms. Sledge (Program Director) -- She doesn't get nearly the credit she deserves. She is always looking out for her MAs, often putting herself in the line of fire without recognition. She is sharp, has a heart of gold, and genuinely wants her students to excel. She's the type of leader who changes lives quietly but powerfully. Ms. Welch -- Teaches insurance, billing, and coding with the sweetest spirit. Honestly, I despised that class at first, but she never let me give up. She made sure I was prepared for state boards, and even though I don't touch insurance at my externship, I've realized how beneficial it was to learn coding. I'm so thankful for her patience, kindness, and thoroughness. Mr. Ntumi -- Another tough cookie who didn't play about his subject. His brilliance and discipline in teaching anatomy made me retain knowledge I still use today. He set the tone early on: take this seriously, because it matters. His commitment was to our success, and it showed in every lecture and quiz. Overall: My Fortis journey was amazing. As long as you stay focused and driven, you will succeed here. This school sometimes gets a bad rep from people who didn't take it seriously, but for those of us who showed up, did the work, and stayed dedicated -- it was both challenging and fun. I can proudly say I was more than prepared stepping into externship, and I already have opportunities lined up for hire as soon as it ends.

I relocated across the U.S. to attend this college because it advertised a pathway for students…read moreinterested in Child Life. While there was some program support, the degree was not fully aligned with ACLP requirements, and I had to take three additional outside courses at my own expense (over $1,200) to meet certification expectations. Had I known this beforehand, I would have chosen a different school with a fully ACLP-aligned program. The campus itself is very outdated and poorly maintained. As a commuter, I heard frequent reports of fights, police presence, and limited support for students. Accessibility was a major concern -- elevators were often broken or unreliable, which is unacceptable for wheelchair users and others with mobility needs. Regarding ADA accommodations, the school is legally required to support students with both physical and neurological disabilities. While a testing center existed and some accommodations were provided, they were largely dependent on individual professors rather than consistent institutional support. I had one professor who disregarded my documented disabilities and attempted to require tasks I physically could not perform, despite multiple complaints from other students about her teaching practices. There was also a situation near graduation where the college failed to uphold ADA requirements, and I was forced to involve legal support. Although I ultimately graduated, the final four weeks were extremely stressful and unnecessary. That said, I want to give credit where it is due: my advisor and mentor, Dr. B, was outstanding. Her support, advocacy, and dedication made a meaningful difference, and I genuinely would not have graduated without her. Overall, this school may work for some students, but for those with disabilities or those pursuing Child Life certification, I strongly recommend researching other programs first and asking very specific questions before enrolling. Also, there was lots of challenges with getting into certain classes because they would canceled the class and it would be last minute and there would be a little too no notification ahead of time. There were certain classes with professors did try to make everybody only have paper and pencil, which may work for some individuals however, in this in age, that's pretty much not really how most people take good notes and study for their test and exams.

This school will say they will call you for an interview and never will…read more I can see this is not a good place to work. Try another school. It is probably a horrible place to attend school as well. Try another school.

This location cannot remedy any issues involving a student's account or closing a student's account…read moretimely -- which locks up financial aid when the student transfers to a different university. All contact must be managed with their covert corporate people whom have very protected access only by Strayer employees. I've had to readdress the same issue several times and it didn't get resolved until I contacted the SC Education Commission on Higher Education to get involved by reporting an "incident' against the school. Turns out this is regular treatment by Strayer and there were other students filing the same sort of action with the Commission. Glad to have finally broken away and ultimately got it resolved completely. Of 2 instructors, one was fantastic - the other didn't provide grades or comments timely to the class for weeks and then by the time students had the information on changes that needed to be applied, the course was well overwith. Poor experience overall. Staff are limited in knowledge, capabilities, and accessibility. Faculty are a crapshoot. Better education is available elsewhere with much less hassle.

Well I have experienced issues with Academics and Student Accounts, my overall experience with…read moreStrayer has been extremely positive. The staff at the Columbia campus went above and beyond to correct any problems at all. My experience with the professors has been outstanding! I not only learned lots of valuable information about my field in Information Systems, but gained partners in helping my education expand, by going on to get completely degree in 1 and half years instead of 2 and half. The professors here have advanced industry knownledge that helps them mentor their students and ultimately helps them achieve anything they set their mind too! I completely recommend Strayer!

Excellent experience; Jacki S was an outstanding…read moreinstructor. 2week (4 days/week) class (intense) and then took the class test-2 parts: SC state test (40 questions) and 80 question national portion. I took 2 try's to get through the national part (nerves). Now awaiting the info to take the state certified test-the RE School for Success gave me all the paperwork and info and guided me through the process. I feel really good about the prep. Great speakers too!

I was able to review their schedule, coverage and pay for it using PayPal online. Obviously I talked to them on the phone before making the payment to make sure they would take two more students. I think I called them day before the class start date and they were able to squeeze us in to their schedule. I took my first pre-licensing course here with my cousin and we had a very pleasant experience at their facility, educational material and teaching style. It was a long hike for me to drive down in weekend to attend these class but it was all worth it. Franky has around 20 years of experience in real estate so he was able to give us tons of real life examples as we went through the material which helped us understand the concept of real estate transaction and apply in in real life using the examples he shared with us. Obviously, he is a professional so he couldn't share the name or exact property but the scenarios were very helpful. He also explained that most people come in real estate for commission and what I got out of it was that if we don't have the passion to help people, we better develop that passion or we will be out of business soon enough. Realtor business is build on reputation and word of mouth. I am so glad I selected Real Estate School for Success as my first school to attend my "Pre-licensing" class because I got so much out of it apart for just credit and passing score.

When Dr. Murray was still president of CIU, he announced in chapel one year (I believe my sophomore…read moreyear so this would be around 2006-2007) that CIU had received a tremendous financial gift of $4 million. That same day, numerous administrative staff, I believe 8 people, were laid off. In the summer of my sophomore year, I received word from my professor that the CIU Performing Arts Department had been cut due to financial reasons. Later, a proposal for building a gymnasium was approved. When students mentioned these discrepancies, it was explained that there were different financial "buckets" and what had been placed in one "bucket" could not be used for another, particularly when donors were giving to a particular cause, in this case the building of a gymnasium and the establishment of an athletics department. I don't know if the donors brought the idea to the university, or if the university brought the idea to the donors, but the fact that the real financial situation was not disclosed to them and made the priority is deeply troubling. This also doesn't explain the fact that, according to friends of mine who used to work for the Kirkland prison initiative, finances that were raised specifically for the prison initiative then were not used for that. In 2013, weeks after my friend's young spouse passed away, they were laid off, while the university continued to grow its sports program. There was the belief that athletics would bring in the resources to help the university solve it's financial problems. Apparently this turned out to be a losing bet, as this summer, 2016, 4 faculty members and numerous staff were laid off. All of this indicates a deeply troubling pattern of financial mismanagement, a pouring of resources and energy into the wrong solutions, and mistreatment of CIU's greatest asset: its faculty and staff. I have only reported here what I have experienced firsthand or what I have heard directly from someone who has experienced it, but I have heard inklings here and there of other issues as well, but those are for others to share and confirm. I also have friends who are former employees who had to, in order to receive severance, sign a contract stating they would not speak negatively about the university, which is alarming. This and other things CIU has been doing may technically be legal, but legal technicalities are not the high standard an institution purporting to follow Christ should be holding itself to. I recently received a voicemail from a CIU staff member named Greta Clinton asking for donations to help fund student scholarships and teacher salaries. This is what CIU should have been soliciting all along, but for the reasons stated above I have zero faith that any dime I donate would go to it's intended cause. I cannot in good conscience donate to this university, nor can I recommend it to any prospective students because I do not believe their hard-earned tuition dollars will be used effectively.
