    Ok so update, i received another email from them so, as promised, Chamberlain story #1 I had an…read moreadvisor who had no idea how vaccines worked. My nearby clinic told me that it was insane when I asked if they could do three immunizations at once because my advisor would add weekly pressure on me thanks to a system called Complio. When I would try to reason with him, he would bully me questioning my intelligence pretending the phone lost signal for about five seconds which I assumed was to curse me out in his office without me hearing about it. I would get off the phone with him everytime he called just about in tears. It got so bad I had to switch advisors. About a year and a half later I call again to select classes. Now keep in mind that at their advising office, anyone can pick up the phone . He picks it up gives his little advising speech and then goes "am I speaking to Nolan?" I said yes you are and I was told that I'd have no further contact with you please transfer me to someone else. Which he does so but he had such a venomous anger when he said my name but still transferred the call albeit reluctantly. Chamberlain story 2, one semester I needed to hand out study guides for a course because our professor simply just didn't want to teach. He began the semester by acting as pathetic as he could be with a hang dog expression on his face telling the class "to help you to help me to help you." He went into some story about how the university is watching him closely this semester because all of his students from the previous semester failed by a technicality. The school was very limited in the study guides it would supply and professors were not allowed to deviate from the slides to provide a real world example. Any question on how the topic at hand applied to the outside world was met with pauses, blank stares and even some filler answers like "as your book says..." So, to help him help us I took the initiative to print out study guides on the concepts from Ed helper .com while this professor habitually went out for coffee at a nearby Starbucks dismissing the class 30 minutes early. Chamberlain Story 3 I hit a rough patch early on in the program, I started working at a hospital and lost two patients in the same week. I started having difficulty focusing in class and as a result my grades in a class started to plummet not significantly but just enough to warrant the schools early intervention from the department head. When I told him of the two traumatic losses he goes. "Well why don't you treat your class like a patient and try to save it instead of focusing on your trauma." Which isn't really something you say to someone. This was followed up with "Well I think what you are truly lacking here is resilience..." and I just remember leaving that conference call feeling worse than I went in. Chamberlain final story, I had a Professor who would openly belittle us when we didn't pass a test as my last course at this school. He would say things like "tsk tsk shameful." Or "What do you have to say for yourself?" Every time. Any complaint made would go out the window because the campus president was good friends with this professor. After having this happen for so long, I decided I could no longer take the abuse from this particular professor and withdrew the course finding out later that I was dismissed. I tried reinstating and their process involved an E meeting with several professors none of which I had before. They decided that I wasn't "serious" enough about my courses or that they felt I didn't have a strong study plan. The decision was unanimous that I was finished there. A couple days later, my advisor called me telling me to try to appeal to the campus president. I did this. Days went by while waiting. Finally on June 22nd 2022 I learned my fate that I was permanently dismissed. My advisor set me up to fail. Worst still, June 22nd was just one day before my birthday. I asked for no contact about one year afterwards when they sent me a patronizing email about sign up for classes now. I called them asked if they meant to send the email and they said well...no actually the ban still stands. I asked why they sent it and the phone representative very nonchalantly answered "I dunno." And that brings us to today the email from a third party on behalf of chamberlain to my current school's email. Since I left they've been on occasion harassing me and I honestly feel that I have parted ways with them. They are like a parasite to me that only bites when it needs nourishment and resides in the back always present biting down just enough to let you know that it's still there neither growing nor shriveling but still latching on no matter what. I hope this going public with my mistreatment is enough to get them to stop.

From the start, financial aid information has been unclear and inconsistent. Aid amounts change, balances fluctuate, and explanations are often vague or delayed. Students are left to constantly follow up just to understand what they owe and why. Communication between financial aid, billing, and advising feels disconnected, and it is incredibly difficult to get a straight answer. What is most troubling is that students are allowed to remain enrolled while financial aid issues are unresolved, only to later be hit with unexpected balances, holds, or threats of course disruption. This creates pressure and fear around continuing your education and feels like a tactic that places the financial burden entirely on the student. Instead of proactive guidance, the process feels reactive and transactional. Policies are quoted without being clearly explained, and support often feels scripted rather than student-centered. For a school that markets itself as supportive and accessible, the reality is that students must constantly advocate for themselves just to avoid financial fallout. I strongly advise prospective students to: Get everything in writing Track their account weekly Question every balance change Be prepared for financial aid issues to impact enrollment Chamberlain may work academically for some, but based on my experience, the financial aid system creates unnecessary stress and financial risk. I would not recommend this school to anyone who relies on financial aid without being fully prepared to fight for clarity and accountability.

Not only was this a lie, due to their incompetence, trying to get in contact with anyone for an explanation by phone or email is impossible! To get any clarification I had to drive all the way to the campus to speak to someone, that was clearly sitting next to a computer and phone! I'm not one to leave reviews but this situation really touched a nerve and if it's this difficult trying to get into the program, I could only imagine trying to receive transparency while attending.

They will make you pay for a reservation into their program which is 300 dollars and give you no service. They somehow have ACEN but you can't transfer their credits. They are charging ridiculous amounts of money for schooling when you could attend a much cheaper school elsewhere. This school is a scam and their info sessions are proof of this when you hear them discuss money and loans. They promise to give you a degree but they don't discuss the process and expect you to blindly pay them for services not guaranteed. Nursing school is complicated and they take advantage of this fact to take your money. Avoid if you want to save yourself from a scam school.

Incompetent Management: The absence of effective management is glaring. The owners are reportedly disengaged, failing to even acknowledge students and staff, which fosters a sense of neglect and disregard. Lost Documentation: The recurring requests for documents that have already been submitted indicate severe disorganization and a lack of proper record-keeping. Financial Aid and Payment Issues Inconsistent Payment Amounts: Unexplained variations in payment amounts raise serious concerns about transparency and financial management. Inadequate Financial Aid Support: Staff members are reportedly unable to address financial aid questions or provide adequate assistance, leaving students confused and unsupported. Misleading Award Letters: Award letters include irrelevant items such as transportation and housing allowances, which are not applicable and cannot be explained by the staff. This misrepresentation is misleading and unethical. Quality of Education and Resources Minimal Resources: The school is described as "money hungry" while providing minimal resources. This suggests a prioritization of profit over the quality of education and student support. These issues collectively paint a picture of an institution that is poorly managed, financially disorganized, and lacking in genuine concern for its students' success. Verve College appears to be an institution driven by profit, with little regard for the quality of education or the well-being of its students. The high staff turnover, incompetent management, financial disarray, and inadequate resources make it a risky investment. Prospective students are strongly advised to consider other, more reputable institutions. The numerous issues indicate that Verve College is more of a financial burden than a pathway to a successful career in healthcare. Keep ALL receipts and documents.
