As this is an odd class that I am taking, Friday night and Saturday, I really did not get to see any students other than those in my class. And I have only know a couple of the instructors that work out of this campus, having meet them through PTK. Overall, the buidling is a really nice one. The rooms that I have been in were all very neat, clean, and orderly. I have been to the Ottawa campus once before with my wife, who works for NCCC, when were just passing through. I really enjoyed the feel of this campus and will enjoy the next couple times that I will be there for this one class.

I gave them the name of the facility that did the original ultrasound as requested. The soonest they could get me in was 3.5 weeks later. They like to see you 7-10 days after so I was very anxious to get it checked out. After waiting 3.5 weeks, I get checked in and wait 30 minutes and get all the way back to get undressed and was told they could not do the scans bc they didn't have all of my years of mammograms from diagnostic imaging. They literally turned me away. They have to do these scans anyway but refused until they got my history which was a ball drop on their part. The human thing to do would have been to scan me and then wait for the images they didn't request. Now I have to wait until they get my prior images and call me to reschedule. Unbelievable. Completely unacceptable.

Nice small classes with instructors who are really helpful and supportive. Only down fall is the housing. Some of the rooms are nice; large with a bed, desk dresser: everything you need. Other rooms are so bare bones you can hardly live in them; 2 beds, 1 dresser, no desks (apparently they don't expect you as a student to be studying). Communication with the housing office is TERRIBLE! They don't respond to emails and are not helpful in solving problems.

I encourage anyone thinking about this school to not attend here!…read more My experience with Washburn University's Diagnostic Medical Sonography program was extremely disappointing, and ultimately I was put between a rock and a hard place and withdrew because of how my clinical placement was handled by the school. When I was accepted into the program, I was given a clinical site and was under the impression that the necessary arrangements were being completed. I was told that the school was working on the paperwork with the clinical facility. However, as the program start date approached, I discovered that the affiliation paperwork had still not been finalized (the school didn't tell me that, I had to attempt to schedule my clinicals and find that out from someone who has no connecting to the school). What was most frustrating was the lack of communication. I was not proactively informed that there was a problem with my clinical placement. I had to find out myself that the clinical affiliation was still unresolved and that the school and legal department they had worked with, had not completed the agreement. This was not a minor issue. Clinical placement is an essential part of a sonography program, and Washburn's own DMS information states that full acceptance is contingent upon a signed affiliation agreement. The program also explains that the Clinical Coordinator is responsible for working with the facility to obtain the necessary documentation. (Washburn University). As to which after I addressed the issue to her, I was told via email: "It was my understanding that as long as we completed the affiliation agreement process, we would be good to go.".... They never made 100% certainty. By the time I found out there was a problem, the program was 2.5 weeks from beginning and there was nothing I could do other that contact the school, who should have known about this issue or at least figured it out. I was left without a confirmed clinical placement and without a clear alternative plan. This also affected my ability to complete some of the requirements needed to begin the program. Although I did already spend money on some things, as to which I cannot receive that money back. I ultimately decided that I could not move forward under those circumstances. I was not withdrawing because I had lost interest in sonography, I withdrew because I did not feel comfortable committing my time and tuition to a program when such a critical component had not been secured or communicated to me in a timely manner. I strongly recommend that anyone considering this program / school ask very specific questions about their clinical placement before committing. Get confirmation that the affiliation agreement is fully executed and that the clinical site is actually secured. The biggest issue for me was not that an affiliation agreement encountered delays. Things happen. The issue was that I was allowed to move toward the start of the program without being clearly informed that my clinical placement was still unresolved, and I was not given a satisfactory alternative when it became apparent that the placement was falling through. They expected me to give them more time (after having 3 months to work on this issue). They said that after 2.5 weeks if they still didn't answer, I could then withdraw hopefully in time to get my tuition back. Mind you, those 2.5 weeks I still would have been expected to do course, so I would have had to potentially spend more money on textbooks that would not be refunded if the school didn't get it together. I expected better communication and organization from a university program where clinical placement is essential to completing the degree. I was give no alternative to them falling through with this and email replies got shorter and shorter, as well as more blunt and less helpful as the school figured out they weren't getting tuition money from me DUE TO THEM FALLING THROUGH.
