Everest College

I never had the opportunity to actually begin my education with Everest College. But, I was able to meet and speak with the faculty. They were very helpful and curteous.

The worst option for a nursing school, probably in the country. Don’t go to Everest, if you’re enrolled now, pull your credits and withdraw immediately. The «teaching» is extremely poor. The instructors are incompetent, unintelligent, unprofessional, and just don’t give a damn if you pass or fail. Your goal as a teacher should be to educate and teach your students, not ask us what everything is and teach ourselves and then when asked a question be told to look it up or have other students answer for you. It’s a profit driven program that would love to see you fail so you can shell out another $ 10,000. Out of 26 students in the most recent class only 9 passed, and yet the faculty look at the students as the problem. TAKE SOME DAMN RESPONSIBILITY!!! Accept the fact that your are horrible nurses, horrible teachers, and a real college wouldn’t hire you. Got out when I could, good riddance this place is a joke. Oh and if you graduate, nursing managers laugh at an Everest «degree».

They tell you what you want to hear to get you to enroll, then it’s all downhill from there. Of course they don’t go over the fine print and like to make up or change the rules as they go then tell you there’s nothing you can do about it because it’s «in your contract». I’m currently a medical assistant student here and honestly expected better considering how expensive it is to attend. I like my instructor (we’ll call her Ms. F), she’s knowledgeable and seems to know what she’s doing and to no fault of her own does the best she can with what she has to work with, but I can’t say the same for the other instructors that I’ve dealt with when she wasn’t around. They seem to only want to teach you what you’ll need to pass the next test, nevermind what you’ll need to know when you actually start working. One instructor is older than dirt and refuses to see that the medical field has evolved since the 1920’s. The modulars are rushed –averaging 3 – 4 chapters a week with no review and then on to the next. But i guess thats why they say, «Those who know, do. Those who don’t know, teach.» The school is CONSTANTLY out of supplies and the medical equipment is seriously outdated and/​or does not work at all. I’m a straight A student but wonder how I’ll do when I get out into the field because I haven’t learned enough hands on training because none of their shit works. Makes me wonder where all my tuition $$ is going. The school looks clean on the surface but once you get into the classrooms you see how filthy everything is. The medical labs are OSHA regulated yet the floors look like they haven’t seen a mop in months. All in all my experience here has been a disappointment. I’d like to think there are better schools for the amount of money you invest. Oh, and they’re open door policy is bullshit. Administration doesn’t give two shits about the students once they have your tuition.

I think this school is pretty awesome actually. I haven’t had any problems yet and the instructors are extremely knowledgeable and very good in their fields (I can’t say much about the Gen Ed courses though)
I also can’t say anything about the financial part because I’m using my GI Bill but the books are slightly expensive (again, not the schools fault)
The only reason I didn’t give it 5 is because all the students that smoke right outside the doors and that’s really annoying so I think the school could do something about that
Overall, great experience with a lot of challenging courses

Lack of communications between students and admin staff, not teachers, but the downstairs reception people. They give out wrong information about what your potential salaries are. And from one student from the nursing area, they can’t place any students a job after they are finish with the program.
Also shows lack of respect to students from administration, other students in other programs, and corporate staff.

This «college» is a scam!
Answer this, what school in the history of education, especially a small non national acredited community college makes their students pay for school while pursuing their degree?
Everest! That’s who!
Don’t ever enroll in to this school or you’ll be caught up in the same web of scams as I am currently dealing with right now. All the financial advisors who are «there to help you» makes commission on all the students they enroll into this school. So the little «we care about your dreams and goals» speech they give you during you’re orientation is BS!!!
I was told I wasn’t going to pay on my student loans until 6 months after I graduate. Which would be awesome because I’m studying Paralegal and figured once I obtain my degree I wouldn’t have a problem paying off my student loans.
A year and a half later I get the news that I have to start paying towards my student loan or incur interest starting in December 2011. Remind you, I don’t graduate until September 2012 so I haven’t received my degree yet but I’m suppose to pay on something I don’t even own? GTFOH!!!
THIS SCHOOL IS A SCAM AND IF YOU FEEL YOU’RE BEING JOOPED, CALL A LAWYER NOW!!! I know I have already
