Had the pleasure of visiting here while performing my work related duties…read more A huge thank you to Kai Swanson. What a wonderfully nice man. Cafeteria left nothing to the imagination. Every possible food item you could want Great learning atmosphere. I wish I was college age just so I could attend this amazing learning institution Thanks for the great tour and lunch

This college looks impressive on paper and during campus tours, which is exactly why my child chose…read moreto attend. Unfortunately, the reality was very different and the decision turned out to be a major mistake. Students are treated more like high schoolers than college adults, with policies and oversight that feel controlling and out of step with what most families expect from a university. The most alarming issue, however, is how the school appears to handle rape and sexual assault. From what we witnessed, the system seems to protect perpetrators far more than it protects victims. Individuals accused of serious misconduct appear to face minimal consequences, while victims can feel ignored, blamed, or even vilified for speaking up. That kind of environment discourages reporting and raises serious concerns about student safety. Drugs and alcohol are also clearly present on campus, yet the systems meant to monitor and address these problems seem ineffective. We did ask questions about safety and student well-being before enrolling and, unfortunately, believed the reassurances we were given. In hindsight, the reality did not match the rhetoric. Overall, the college does a very good job marketing itself and creating a positive first impression. Unfortunately, our experience suggests that the reality behind the brochures is far less reassuring. Families considering this school should ask difficult questions about student safety, accountability, and how serious incidents are actually handled.

What a beautiful campus but yet so small. The child will be attending here in fall so we came and…read moreconquered. It's a beautiful campus, small compared to so many others that we saw. The College is actually of Catholic background. Lawd knows if I was attending there would be spontaneous combustion since I am banned from churches, but it's not about me so let me stop. The actual dorms are rather roomy and nice. It was hard to leave my signature when it came to financial portion, but hey the child will have an awesome education, so it will be worth it. The main office is located in the vintage portion of the college, that kind of scared me- but once our tour was started, I quickly saw the newer and safer buildings that were part of the campus. Wow, these kids will have better eats then I did. They have their own restaurant which of course has three courses from breakfast to dinner. Really good and healthy food too. And their gymnasium is pretty big also. I think that I you decide to go here (and it is 3 hours away from Chicago), you will be impressed.

My low rating pertains to mainly the doctorate of physical therapy program. I felt as an undergrad…read morethat I was groomed for acceptance to the DPT program but was denied every time I applied, even though I followed all of their instructions. I majored in exercise science and had no other options for a career once I graduated with my undergrad. They did not look out for me or care what happened to me once I graduated. This is not a one time occurrence. Someone close to me was also completely screwed over by Ambrose's DPT program. He had to transfer schools mid-program due to Ambrose's misguided and unfair program. They told him false-promises that resulted in a worse situation for him. He followed all instructions from director, Mike Puthoff, to be able to stay but was thrown out and abandoned without remorse. Overall, Mike Puthoff is a two-faced, unfair, and mediocre program director with DPT passing rates plummeting ever since he took over. He has poor management over instructors in his program and has yet to prove any care towards the students he teaches. The material taught at Ambrose is mediocre at best and needs to be re-evaluated along with their director.

I was attending Kaplan online.I withdrew and was told my balance was $1,210 but that there was a…read moreloan I could take to pay for that. I took the loan and on my last conversation with them I was assured my balance was paid in full and my acct, was down to $ 0. I have never been contacted from Kaplan again. Now I got a call from a collection agency telling me Kaplan sold them my account and that I owe $ 1300. I contacted Kaplan and requested the transcript of the call where I was informed my acct. was paid in full and they say they can't send it to me. And today after they reported me to collections they were willing to take yet another payment from me for $ 1210. Be careful what school you enroll with, stay away from low-level education crooks like Kaplan University.

I attended Kaplan, and it was a great school until my husband passed away. My GPA was a 3.8. The…read moreway the course runs is great. But they are very expensive and shady. So my husband passed suddenly and I advised them that i needed time off. they wanted to give me about 4 months off. I told them that i was not ready but they kept those counselors calling everyday. I was pressured into going back to school when I was not ready and what made it worst was while i was back in I wanted to drop my classes at that time because my sister passed. These people didn't want to hear anything about that. I needed to go to school and finish these classes. Well one year later I am going strong in class passing all of my classes when I get that phone call telling me that I had to pay them 1200.00 for a class that i didn't pass. This was during the time that my sister passed. I called the school just to get the run around. Now someone tells me I should have asked for emergency leave and taken a year off. Well hell that is what i was doing but they refused to help a the time. Never heard anything else from them. I am trying to transfer my classes from Kaplan University to a local Universality and these people refuse to give me my transcript until i fork over the 1200.00 I am paying it but I would advise anyone to look at other universities before choosing this one.

Today I got that plus a shampoo and blow dry. All went well, as usual. And because students do the work here, it all set me back only $31 (excluding tip). Such a deal!

I visited you on April 30 for a perm. I shared up front with the student that I am currently going…read morethough chemo for breast cancer. It was decided to do a test to see if my hair would take the chemical. It worked out that my hair was good to go. The instructor (E. Sands) told the student (Maddie W.) to shampoo my hair twice and no condition. When we went to the wash bowl, I had to ask the student if she was going to put a drape on me. "Oh yeah need to go get that". Took her 5 minutes to get that and when she returned, she washed my hair and when she was done, I had to sit there with my head in the wash bowl while she went to get a towel came back with 1 towel. Patted my hair dry and then we went back to her station. She didn't know how to section my hair and had the teacher do it for her. The teacher told her since I had bangs to roll from my crown to the front forward. She only rolled the bangs forward and the rest back which explains why I now have trouble styling my hair with my bangs. After the rolling was done the instructor told her to get towels and she came back with 1 towel. Then she was told to get 3 towels. I was given one to hold over my eyes one was put around my shoulders, and one was to hold with putting the solution on. After 10 minutes the hair was checked and then a plastic cap was put on for the remainer of 10 minutes. then went to a wash bowl and she processed to rinse my hair and then was prepared to remove the rollers. Thanks goodness she asked another student who told her she need to rinse for 5 minutes then blot dry my hair and apply the neutralizer. She had to go back to her station and get the neutralizer. She applied it and then I just sat laid back in the sink for the 5 minutes then she rinsed if off and removed the rollers now my hair is dripping wet and she has me sit up but she has NO towels so, while I sit there with water dripping into my face and down my back she goes and gets 1 towel. Pats dry my hair takes the drape off because it is soaking wet along with my shirt on the back. We go back to her station, and I use one of the towels to dry my face. She came back and said the instructor said to condition my hair. Went back to the wash bowl I again have to ask for a drape she had to go get one after putting the conditioner on she once again needs to go get a towel. She comes back with that, and we go back to her station. She uses her dryer with a defuser and then used the dryer to try and dry my shirt since it was still soaking wet. I just wanted to leave. By using the hair dryer, I had to pay for a style, but my hair was not styled. If I plan to return in the future, I am going to have an advanced student that is ready to graduate. When I got home and took off my t-shirt, I could ring out water because it was that wet. Worse Perm experience I have ever had there or a more professional place.
