Carrington College

NO STARS!!! Do not waste your time on Carrington! It is not a school just a bad, unorganized pathetic business. One month ago I enquired about their LVN Program. They wouldn’t give me information over the phone so had to go in and meet with an agent. He was very unprofessional but I scheduled to take the entry Hesi exam anyway. The day I went in to take it they had me sit in the lobby for 30 minutes until another unprofessional woman came out and told me, «sorry we thought we called everyone, there is not longer a nursing program here.» She also notified me that the agent I was working with had been laid off. I should have just listened to all the bad reviews about this horrible excuse for a school.

If possible, I would give a negative 100 rating. Applicants BEWARE. this school is a scam. They promise what they cannot deliver. We were told that an AS degree would be granted only to find out that this a lie. They told us in the beginning that Pell grants and other funding such as California grants would be available, which is also untrue because they are NOT ACCREDITED! Government records prove that Carrington has been and will continue to be on academic probation until at least until 2017. The reports show that the failures of their programs have been ongoing for some time. Only one student out of 36 graduated and that person did not have the skills to be employable. Even worse the student will be indebted for over $ 36,000 not including interest for nothing.
RUN DO NOT WALK to local Community Colleges in the state that have the exact same programs, with available grants. You will be properly educated, get a degree and will be able to graduate relatively debt free.
All that they want and care about is getting your money. This «school» and I use the term only because they say they are one should be illegal and sued for fraud, as were DeVrys, Heald, etc, Whom they absorbed when they were closed down.
It cannot be emphasized enough that even entertaining getting into Carrington would be an immense mistake with dire financial results.

Its been a year sents I got dropped from Carrington it was all promises at the beginning that they are there to help u succeed its bs they dont care they just want ur money still makes me mad tell this day because I tryed the hardest I ever had for anything & I got screwed over & accused of cheating on a crossword puzzle like really. & now owe lots of money & cant go back to any school tell I get it payed off such a big waste of time & money & such a disappointing set back

No stars deserved!!! Carrington is the worst school ever. Do not trust them!!! I enrolled for dental assistant and was given an iPad to use for my studies. Within the 5^th day I decided to not pursue this career as I had a change of heart. I was told that there was a 7 day free trial and if you are not satisfied with the school, you can quit and there will be no charge. I returned the iPad and they charged me $ 300 for it being opened. The iPad had no damage whatsoever I never used it and was still charged. Now I have to pay or else my credit will go bad. So «F» u Carrington!!!

I completed the LVN program in April 2015.
This program is hard and it requires dedication and lots of studying hours. There was hiccups in clinic toward the end and needed better organizing that is why I gave it 4 stars. The NCLEX review course really prepared me with the exam and he school LVN pass rate is low because most students didn’t took advantage of this. After I received my license, their career counselor edited my resume and cover letter. The staff (at that time) was always there to help with nay questions and I felt they DID prepared me for the license exam. I’m currently working at VA hospital and applying to the RN program in Sacramento. One year of hard work and this will lead to rewarding results. If your a Veteran or has MGI-​bill 911, I highly recommend going private school route.
