The masters program for occupational therapy is phenomenal here. Instructors truly care about students understanding and success. I would enjoy them getting the schedules out to us a little sooner, so I had more notice to coordinate childcare. However, everyone is pleasant and helpful so far. I'm only through my first term, but I have enjoyed the program so far. read more

Stanbridge University - Foundations LAB for OT (PPE donning and doffing) - Colleges & Universities Near Me - Alhambra, California

All for profit, unprofessional crap school. They can give a rats azz about a real education. Want to waste money and time? This is the perfect money pit for you. Want to to into debt? Go here. How this place stays in business and how it earned accreditation is beyond me. I wish I could report them to some form of board of education for lack of teaching, lying and/or thieving. There's a shortage of healthcare workers. You'd figure they'd want people to graduate and come out strong instead of beat down, broke and taken advantage of. Look elsewhere for an education. I hope this place crumbles. Response to Victoria: Hey Victoria, why don't you take a look at your instructors to better understand my concern. How about an audit. How about listening and acting up in student complaints? Your responses to reviews are so generic. Copy and paste. This place is garbage. read more

Hands down best nursing school onboarding experience ever. I attended an informational session via Zoom hosted by Faby, and was immediately impressed by her professionalism, clarity, and passion for helping future nurses succeed. She answered every question thoroughly and made the entire process feel approachable and exciting. From that moment on, every interaction with Stanbridge University Alhambra has reinforced that I made the right choice. The staff is incredibly savvy--knowledgeable, efficient, and genuinely invested in student success. They make navigating admissions, financial aid, and class scheduling feel seamless. You can tell they've put serious thought into every step of the process. The BSN program itself is well-structured, comprehensive, and built to support students from day one. The curriculum, resources, and clinical partnerships are all designed with the end goal in mind: producing excellent, confident nurses. I feel like I'm part of something special here. Stanbridge isn't just a school it's a launchpad for your nursing career. read more

This is the absolute WORST nursing school I have ever attended. Their administration is a complete disaster, and they care more about draining your pockets than actually helping students succeed. Calling Gary, the director of whatever, isn't going to get me my money back, so don't bother. They will constantly threaten you with dismissal, so you have no choice but to re-enroll and PAY AGAIN. It's a manipulative money grab! The lack of support is shocking, and Andrea Awi? Don't even bother going to her for help -- she's cold, rude, and completely lacking empathy. Her excuse? "I always go by the book." Well, maybe try showing some human decency instead? The school is disorganized beyond belief, constantly changing schedules at the last minute, making it impossible to have any sort of life. Say goodbye to your job, social life, and bank account if you enroll here. Kim, the assistant of whatever, is single-handedly driving away all the good instructors with her attitude. She acts like she's some kind of dictator -- Kim Jong Un 2.0 -- and has zero regard for the students or staff. 0 stars for this dumpster fire of a school. They don't care about you or their employees. Staff are quitting left and right because the administration is so toxic. Oh, and they'll lie to you from day one. They told me I'd only be on campus twice a week -- total BS! They kept changing the schedule and adding more days every term. Just be honest, for once? RUN as far away from this school as you can. Save your time, money, and sanity. This place is a complete nightmare! read more

I wish giving negative stars was possible because as a current LVN student, enrolling in this school was the WORST educational and financial decision I have ever made. Classes are cancelled at the last minute and rescheduled with very little notice on days that are outside of scheduled class days, class sizes are so large that I've had to sit on the floor for 8 hours because there were no seats available, there is very little student support. I've been to college before and already have a Bachelors from an accredited university out of state and this is the most unprofessional and unsupportive school I have ever attended. Do NOT come here. I regret it every day. read more

Stanbridge University - My view of the classroom and instructor for an 8 hour class because there are not enough seats. - Colleges & Universities Near Me - Alhambra, California

The very fact that the "university" has a yelp page is already a red flag that this is more of a business than it is an educational institution. This place's concern is looking good rather than prioritizing effective learning and student satisfaction. If you like being micromanaged and like inefficient use of your time, look no further! Many of the glowing reviews are ppl pressured into writing. lol. As many horrible things as I can say, they deserve 1 start and not 0 because they are at the very least accredited. That is the nicest thing I can say about this place. read more

Manny was amazing! He truly helped me figure out the whole admissions process and remained encouraging all the way to the end. Constantly helping me with all of my questions and does his best to keep in contact with me about anything and everything! Thank you so much Manny! read more

As of this review I'm still in the application process and so far it's been very good. Dina has been very helpful in getting the process going, she could be a bit intense and fast at first but she works hard and gets the job done. During the campus tour, what stood out to me was the students being engaged in conversation with the professors and amongst themselves. I can't confidently give this place a five star yet considering the fact that I haven't started classes but I am hoping for the best. The facility looks amazing and the students seemed engaged in their work. This place was recommended to me by my Uncle and if he could pass, I have some confidence going into this program. read more

I honestly am so disappointed in my experience with this school. I was thrilled to get into their BSN program and was looking forward to learning and working hard to achieve my goals. The lack of respect this school shows for their students is beyond comprehension. They can never seem to really explain why they do things the way they do and it's a lot of politically correct answers that at the end leaves me feeling more confused. I was in the program for over a year and had good grades in all my classes. You have to score above 75 percent on all your classes to be passing and I took all the classes for prerequisites I was like in it to win it I wanted the whole from A to Z experience. I pulled a huge loan to be in the program and was never aware that I would ever be asked to wait over 8 months to retake one class! I missed pharmacology by a few points and the teacher was nice but had mentioned many times she did not want to teach this topic. When I appealed this when I failed they rejected it the same day they received it and then a week later I found out they were making changes to the program to have fundamentals before pharmacology obviously many students had failed and they realized they had to make changes. I think it's great that they know they need to make changes but it's at their students expense. They keep saying they know they are working on how to get students back into class quicker but haven't come up with a solution. Other programs like west coast the most you wait is 10 weeks to get back into class. I am not the only student experiencing this frustration and I do not understand how they haven't come up with a solution to this issue. 8 months of not being in class can make you question your goals and why you choose this school to begin with. Attempting to retain information for 8 months while not actively being in school is absolutely ridiculous! All this school cares about is money. If you're looking to have your time respected this isn't the place for you. Also they tell you not to work this is your whole commitment and never tell you that you can possibly ever be waiting this long. Losing job opportunities puts a financial stress on my family. Living on 1 income for a family of 4 is absurd in 2024. I never imagined my experience to play out the way it has. This situation ever being a possibility was never talked about in orientation they just sell it and let you drown. It took me so long to even write this review because I was trying to find a more optimistic mindset of this break but honestly it should have never happened to me or any other student. We take time out of our life to pursue our goals and trust a school to be our partner into this journey and this school will not assist you into your journey. You might as well take your time get your units and transfer to a UC because it can potentially take you the same amount of time that you thought you would be saving by signing up here. read more

Don't come to this school at all. I have been in this school for over a year now for LVN and honestly I regret taking advise from my colleagues to come to this school. It started great in the beginning but once you're progressing the teacher get fired or let go which leaves us with new teachers that don't know the course well or know how to navigate in there system I can't wait to graduate and be done with this school And this headache of not know when your class schedule is going to be give to u 3-2 days prior to your new course to start very unprofessional of them because ppl have jobs and have to work around their schedules due to us being part time for a reason. read more

I am a part-time student in the LVN program. I would not recommend this program to anyone. In fact, someone I work with has asked me about this school. I explained the teachers read off the power points, and it's not like they are teaching you, just reading out loud to you. I don't enjoy being read to since I was in elementary school. The scheduling is one of the worst. The school schedule comes out a week before the next term starts. Some of us do not have the luxury of not working while in school; if you work for an employer, typically, the scheduling is done a month in advance. Here I am calling the LVN admin assistant and registry to try to obtain the next term's schedule so I can provide it to my employer. I am NOW looking at other schools that can provide a consistent schedule. If you are reviewing this school, ask to see the library, ask to speak to a current student, or stop a student in the hallway and ask them for their honest review. Also, a few students in my cohort saw how the grading was done on discussion boards the teacher just skimmed through and did not even read what we wrote. The teacher forgot she was synched to the TV monitors, and we saw. Most of our cohort is unhappy how the school lacks communication with the students. Oh, if you want to see your test in anatomy, the teacher said no, it's school policy. So you are never going to know what you missed exactly. Like the teacher said, "it's over. Lets move on!" 1.) ask about scheduling, how far in advance they can provide it for the next terms? 2.) ask about reviewing your tests after you take them read more

Currently in Cohort 7 and after 1 term I have decided to leave. Today is our last day of school and we still do not have our schedule yet for term 2. The communication here at this school is non existent. When signing up they tell you it is easy to move from part time to full time or vise versa. Well it isn't & that was one of my main reasons for coming to this school. One of the biggest issues I have with the school is communication & scheduling. Also, for our Anatomy Lab test we are not allowed to see our test after it is graded. I would like to see how you are grading, so how is it schools policy we are not allowed to see our test. How is that fair to us. What really made my mind up on not coming back is speaking to cohorts ahead of me. Listening to how disappointed they are in the school and the only reason why they are still here is because they are to far in. Courts ahead of you should be encouraging you, not telling you to get out while you can. Ignore all the shiny stuff they show you on the tour, if you really want to know what the school is like speak to a student and they will tell you what it's really like coming here. I know every school has there issues, but communication is key for me and I need my schedule ahead of time not last minute. read more

Honestly I have one year in the nursing program and if you want too avoid a headache please don't come here, they tell you one thing at first then switch it up after. Like the schedules they change every moment and the worst part about it they don't even let you know about the changes I have too find out by other classmates that receive emails but I don't. Also another thing is there is some teachers that just tell you read the book but are not willing to explain what is the subject about even if you ask for help they literally just tell you read again but are not willing to explain, easy way to earn your money isn't it. Honestly this is not a good school whatsoever very unorganized. Just warning you guys, be aware of this scam. I have been walking on eggshells with my job of so many call offs because of this school and then I tell them they should do better in organizing and they just tell you that you shouldn't be working lol like if we don't have bills to pay, if only it was that easy . read more

After a first few weeks of Term 1, I think that only some of the professors are nice and helpful while others aren't. Especially the online courses. They just give you questions to find the answer and don't really go over what you missed personally. And expect us to know what we're supposed to be writing about and how it should be written, despite looking at the examples/references. And some classes seem too quick to go through the lesson and homework and not have the time to go over them in class. Especially the tests/quizzes on what we missed on. I'm in the LVN part-time course but I'm not giving up yet. The orientation and the process applying for the program was fine, and the staff during that time was nice and helpful. read more

I have been debating and researching which school to begin my Bachelor's degree in Nursing at and I came across Stanbridge Univ LA campus. I hav nothing but good things to say about this school this far! From the day I submitted my application to today, I have received exceptional help and guidance from all of the staff. My admissions representative Dina has been very helpful and has guided me down the right path and has answered all my questions! I hope to start my BSN this year at Stanbridge! read more

I'm proud and excited to be a part of the PTA program at Stanbridge University! First, of all I everything was as advertised on their website. Second, I got to meet, Dina and other fellow students here and instantly felt welcomed here as a part of their family! I was so lost in what I wanted to do for my future goals and Dina gave me a sense of clarity to pursue the PTA program. Thank you, Dina for giving over 100% effort and taking the time to ensure all her students succeed and better their academic career goals! Best, Christopher Lim read more

Stanbridge University has stood out to me from when I first heard about their program from a student who attends Stanbridge, they offer great academic resources throughout your time there, for example free tutoring, preparation for the NCLEX, smaller cohorts for better communications with staff and students. Overall Stanbridge has blew other universities out the water. Also, my advisor Dina Hsu has been more then helpful. She's guided me through the whole process from giving me information about the BSN zoom sessions with Mr. Mirabella Who was also helpful and wants the best for anyone no matter where they attend. Dina also provided me with study material that I was able to study off of to pass both exams the first try. As I prepare for my interview with Stanbridge, everything and everyone I've came in contact with has been a great asset to my experience with Stanbridge University. read more

I've postponed my review till I got a good feel for the school. I originally started with my application process of July last year and my academic advisor was Dina. If I were to give her a review alone it would be 5 stars. She is very prompt in what she does and will give you every information needed to get accepted in the school. She also connects with the student in a professional personal level. You would think that she would forget about you but I had a class one time in person and she was giving a student a tour and she recognized me and said hello. Now my experience with the professors having graduated from a community college is that they are professors. With that in mind the ones that I have had and are currently taking want to see you excel and they are willing to help. For students who like asking questions in class the professors are willing to answer them so do not be scared. The reason I didn't give a full 5 stars is that the school can improve on other factors but it wouldn't be a school if some things were not broken. If you are a nursing student check out the school and choose the best option for you. This was also something they said during the orientation process. For me I chose Stanbridge and would again. read more

I feel that I have PTSD from going here for my LVN. Unorganized and unprofessional behavior from staff and students. It's was constant drama, negativity and confusion on the assignments, quizzes and clinical sites. My whole cohort will say the exact same thing as almost all of the students signed a petition and were under review. I have heard that the whole staff has been dismissed. I have heard that the original admissions rep Dina is back and I have to say she was very nice and helpful. read more

This school will purposely make your life 10x harder and more stressful than it needs to be just to make their job easier. For example, they encourage you to not work during the program for a better success chance yet they will send you to a clinical site that is 1 hour away from your house instead of a clinical site that is 5-10 minutes away from your house making you needing to work just to be able to cover travel expenses. Even if you try to switch sites with another student that is also willing to switch, they will not allow you to. Again, just to make their job easier. There is no consideration for students whatsoever. read more

Run from this school is a rip-off of they only care about the money, I attended this school for the LVN program complete my first term and let me tell you they don't care about you, I was having trouble with anatomy lecture professor Pula is the worst teacher! in fact he doesn't teach and when you ask him for help you are told to go to tutoring which is offer online by students. You have questions and they don't know the answers tutoring is the worst.it shouldn't be offered by students it should be offered by actual teachers! They tell you they have a high passing Inclex but they don't tell you from what percentage of students, they have the highest dropout students rate due to the worst communication and teaching, they will make you repeat terms 3 or 4 times because the more money they get from you the better!! don't let them full you, stay away and go somewhere else where they actually care about your education and not just your money!! Yes nursing is hard but they should be there to help you and they are not, if you make it to the end is because you self teach your self 100% , no one will help you no one will care about you!! read more

I was looking into various nursing programs when I happen to come across Stanbridge. After attending their info session I was convinced that this was the program I want to apply for. Mr. Michael's presentation was not only informative, but eye opening. The thing that stood out to me the most, was his passion to see us become nurses whether if it was through Stanbridge or another program. If you are interested in this program I highly suggest attending the info session. I also want to mention how Ms. Dina has been very helpful in the admission process. She is very professional and on top of everything. I have not met a representative who is as passionate as her in helping her applicants through the process. read more

Katherine the admissions representative is not the brightest bulb in the lamp. Her PowerPoint presentation was just reading from the PowerPoints. She kept repeating the names of every award they had - like I didn't hear her the first six times. She insisted on calling me by my legal first name even though I asked her to call me by my middle name. She was condescending. I told her I teach neuromuscular massage therapy and she asked if I had graduated high school, if I had ever been to massage school and if I'd ever taken an anatomy class before.. how on Earth could I teach these things with no education or certification/licensure? Edit I started this review pre Covid. I don't know if Katherine still works here but I would never go here if they still have people like her on staff. read more

It has been a week since my exit exam... I did my research when looking for schools to attend. What will benefit me? Cost? Time? Location? Stanbridge had all I had asked for and 24 hour access to classes and labs, but most of all Charles Gover Director of student services, helped me on my last term. Every day, I wanted to give up. After every failed or passed exam I ended up in his office full of tears because I always thought school wasn't for a 33 year old single mother of 2. He was patient with me, and look at me now! So those of you who are debating, just do it! read more

Dina from admissions helped step by step and is very nice! Made me feel welcomed from the start.

I do not recommend this school at all. I'm a current student, and let me tell you, this school is nothing to what it was before. So many staff have left due to how the school is and how it has become. Im currently enrolled in the VN program. My class is the last cohort of the VN program. Stanbridge has a new vocational nursing. It's called AVN, which stands for associate vocational nursing, and honestly, there is NO DIFFERENCE to the program im in now. Besides taking more money from students. Currently, the director of VN and the director of the coordinator of clinical are under investigation. Why? Because there's preference to who will pass or who won't pass. Is all about your looks to pass. Don't waste your time! I'm currently enrolling in a whole different program. A waste of 2 years for me. All I got was stress and anxiety. This school is nothing but a headache. Directors take advantage of students. Not all teachers are bad. Some actually care. Not a handful, to be honest, but a few, like 2 or 3, the most care. And yes, I could say they do! I know a few students who have said this not only to me but to others. They left school because of it. Plus, the school won't even bother to help you. Their system sucks!! Financial aid sucks! They overcharged me for a book I never received! I was also told to repeat a term because it was policy , but a few other students did not need to. I was charged $4,500 to repeat a term. Which I had passed the first time. But since I was out from school for 6 months, it was policy, they said. I looked into it, and nowhere in the policy book did it state anything of repeating a term due to any reason of what school stated. I asked financial aid to send me a report and to break it down to everything I was being charged for. And of course, I didn't receive what I asked . They also kept the money I was supposed to get from a private loan. Not from FAFSA but a private loan. Stanbridge stated it went to FAFSA. I reported this to the private lender, but nothing has been done. I will eventually look to file a class act for financial purposes. I never did receive what they claimed I was being charged for. I have all emails and copies of the forms. In case I will need it in the future . This school has been nothing but stress. read more

The PTA program here was incredibly challenging, however if you're serious about putting the time in to study written material and hands on skills then you should thrive in this environment. School is what you make of it. You're not going to love every professor and every class, but if you put in the time and effort then this school can be a great way to start your career in physical therapy. Every journey begins with a single step. read more

Okay update! I am a current BSN student at Stanbridge LA. I love the program. All of my professors are wonderful! They are very responsive and helpful. They even go out of their way to do study sessions with us via Zoom (outside of their office hours) to help us before exams. We also have access to tutoring on Zoom for most (if not all) classes on Zoom as well. I have found it to be a wonderful asset. Our student service officer Angela is also so great! She is supportive + helpful and checks in on us often (us as in my BSN Cohort). I have completed my volunteer requirement for graduation but I will continue to attend outreach events because I find them really enjoyable! I feel really lucky and grateful to be in this BSN program. I look forward to my current classes and the next terms as well! read more

Attended LVN program in September and everyone there is super helpful. The resources they offer for additional help are always there. The staff is also great with answering all your questions. Stanbridge was my top pick accelerated program and I'm so happy I was able to get an opportunity here. They guide you through each term and have even help when you're feeling overwhelmed. Thank you team! read more

Miss Dina was so helpful and informative during the process of signing up for the LVN program at Stanbridge University! I'm so grateful she was here to help with any questions or concerns I had. read more

After looking at many different Nursing schools I decided that Stanbridge University was the best choice. I'm now in my final term of the VN program (graduating July 2022) and I'm happy to report I made the right decision by choosing Stanbridge! So much so, that I decided to also apply for the BSN program at Stanbridge and I just found out I was accepted to the February BSN cohort. The entire staff has been excellent help throughout my time at Stanbridge -- most notably Dina Hsu in admissions, Tori Brooks in admin coordination and all of the experienced instructors we've had. I've grown my nursing knowledge exponentially over the last year. I highly recommend this school. It's hard work, but the staff has made our job as students much easier with their support along the way! read more

I started my academic journey at Stanbridge last year around April. I am currently in the re-enrollment process for the ADN program because there were many unforeseen factors that contributed to me not passing one of my classes last term. Although it is disheartening that I have to re-enroll and was not able to continue with my previous cohort, I know that I am a diligent student and I will not let this setback define me. My review is for my student service advisor, Charles. The re-enrollment process is extremely stressful but Charles has gone above and beyond for me. He has been there for me through this entire process and always advocates for me whenever I felt overlooked. I've been on the Dean's list twice since attending Stanbridge and when I didn't pass one of my classes last term, I felt defeated. Charles is always there to reassure me that I am not a failure and he genuinely believes in me. Even on his days off, he would still respond to my emails promptly. I just wanted to express my gratitude to him through this review, even though I tell him all the time that I appreciate him. His efforts to help me through this re-enrollment process never goes unnoticed. read more

It's been three weeks at Stanbridge University as a student in the BSN program. During the admission process, Dina Hsu was a great support in making it smooth and providing all the information needed. Stanbridge is showing great organization and use of technology, and so far, it's reaching my academic expectations. read more

I've debated about when to actually write a review about this school. I was in the VN program and recently finished. The last few months of my program experience was a circus. With the DON and the director of student services (people who actually cared about the students) left, things went downhill. I could write a four page letter about that situation but, the reason for this review is the lack of respect, common courtesy and professionalism from the current DON and director of student services. The president and and campus director are no better as well I've attached the contract that was required to sign before starting the program that states what fees need to be paid for the NCLEX process. As it states regarding the registration fee, the student pays half and the university pays the other half. Then why did I have to pay the the full $220 when I registered? Naturally seeing that nothing was paid from the university, I reached out to the interim DON and director of student services regarding the situation. Basically when can I get my money back? At this point I paid my portion twice including the schools portion, isn't that a breach of contract? I was done with the program early December. I registered for the NCLEX mid January, its February 10th and the school has basically ignored me. Other students in my cohort are getting answers along the lines of there will be a reimbursement with no exact time frame. Even the money that was given to school directly to pay the students half, was told it was for 'something else' but, they can't state exactly what it was for. With how the current administration for the VN department is behaving you can tell they do not care. As a student who paid $36,995 for this program I would expect a bit more decorum. Then again, after a negative yelp review all the head honchos of the university decided to have a meeting with the cohorts individually to discuss how they were handling things after the DON left. That meeting was something to pacify us in that moment. The president of the university was very dismissive and his demeanor is basically 'it is what it is, we have your money so deal with it.' With only 6 weeks left at that time, that's what I did. Just endured any little 'speed bump' that was left to deal it. For future students, don't let the red carpet tour they give you, trick you. There ain't enough coffee and bagels they get from Panera that'll justify all the mental and emotional anguish this program will put you through. They don't have teachers. They are experiencing a very high turn around of staffing teachers. So you may be without a teacher. People who did care about the students from career services, the front desk even the maintenance people left because they saw how bad things were for the VN students. As for getting my money back? I don't know if I'll ever see it because of course no one is responding to my emails. I should not have to reach out everyday for money that is owed to me! Yes, its $220 but it's MY $220. Why am I chasing a multi-million dollar university for my money? They broke the contract and now they're just basically waiting until I and the rest of my cohort 'give up.' Furthermore, for the person who responds to the yelp reviews, I really don't want to hear that "Joseph will get back to me." Unless Joseph or someone who's in accounting has my check or cash ready and not in no 4-6 weeks. read more

Dina is such an amazing counselor. I love how determined she was in helping me in any way she possibly could giving me material to help me study for the entrance exams. Love how the school is open late to take your entrance exams and is open on weekends! I look forward to hopefully attending the school. read more

Here I am writing ANOTHER Yelp review, to hopefully get some answer from the faculty, I took my exit exam on December 17 and passed, the school still hasn't sent my information to the board so I can take me NCLEX , and have not sent me any type of update to why there is a hold. the director of nursing Mr.Abad, literally has been giving me and and entire my class the run around not giving any answers not responding to emails, and lying saying he will be updating us and sent us nothing. When I say run away from this school run away, they literally only respond with urgency once there is a bad review. DO NOT PAY THIS SCHOOL ANY MONEY. We were told we had to pay the school half of our fees for NCLEX and they would cover the remaining, for them to turn around and say we have to pay the whole payment on our own in full and receive an "reimbursement" when we already had paid them. If they were just going to take our money to keep it, I would have never paid now I have to pay triple the amount I was told. read more

Don't go here run for the hills. We pay so much money and bathrooms are always dirty, classrooms are not cleaned in between classes as laptops and desk are sticky with food crumbs. The front door person is always late so they don't open the front door till after 8:15am sometimes, and security just tells you to wait for front door person. They have more classes than they do parking spots, security cones parking spaces randomly for no reason and we all have to park so far even though we pay private school money we get ghetto parking. Theres no where to sit during lunch since they overbook classrooms and the lounge room only has a total of like 7 tables for tons of classes we end up having to bring our food back to classrooms. The school is small and walls all have foot prints or are peeling. I wish they had one tv screen that just showed the schedule because it's not fun running late and having to wait for the advertisements to pass to see my scheduled room since they change our classrooms every week. All their money goes to irvine campus while this campus is old small run down and still sharing a building with Alhambra medical school. Very not presentable for a private school price. read more

For the most part Stanbridge University has lvn instructors that care and that will try their best to help you succeed as a student. However while in their part time LVN program I have to say that I have had more negative experiences than positive experiences. For example on the weekends during weekend classes. The bathrooms have no toilet paper and the trash cans in the student lounge overflow. The lounge itself is in poor shape on the weekends. And The bathroom faucet has broken once. But beyond custodial concerns I have reached out to my program director on occasion throughout the program as directed by student services and she repeatedly ignored me. Also, the campus director / dean said he would assist me with my request, but he never did. I felt unwanted at standbridge as a student and like my program director and campus director / dean did not want me to succeed. These are a few of the reasons why I would not recommend Standbridge University for nursing school. read more

They take ALL your 3 year tution up front. After you're done applying, they ask you to do a Yelp review. That's why u see 5 stars and most about how easy it is and how nice admission personals are. And hoe they get back to you with all your questions. But when you see those from students who are attending, you see the real reviews. I saw a review on someone failing, and that's where I am. STANBRIDGE does not give easy second changes. Going back to the first part. I had to apply to a private student loan bc federal loans and grants do not cover 135k. I have applied to other schools bc I have been waiting for a year to retake my class. And yes, you do have to wait for another student to fail in order for there to be room for you. I was accept to the West Coast (which if you fail a class you can retake it the very next week) I was also accepted to CSUs but since I have a 70k loan I am not able to apply to another. So now I am stuck. I feel robbed from my money as well as from my future. If you don't think life will get in the way and you're like an amazing test taker, then go for it. But lofe happens and a school shouldn't punish you like this. read more

I think my previous review was deleted from yelp. But I wanted to emphasize how unprofessional this place really is. The administration is great at putting on a face to lure prospective students. But once you start the program, it's an entirely different experience. They have teachers who bully their students. There is one in particular named Lisa C. She's known to choose her favorite students and the students she wants to bully. She also makes racist and inappropriate comments in the classroom. The director, Camille, also isn't responsive when students try and resolve issues. All problems brought up to her usually stay with her and she neither escalates or resolves them. When it comes to clinical sites students have to go to, the locations can be changed on a whim. This is totally at the discretion of the school. They sometimes switch the site about an HOUR from when you're supposed to be on location! For those who have a long commute, this is really detrimental! This place will really set you up for failure. I'm surprised many students going through this have not spoken up. But I expect there to be more reviews like this to follow once they all graduate the program. DO NOT go to this school if you want a quality education. read more
