OTC (Ozarks Technical Community College) • Springfield, MO
Studying CNA Certificate Program (completion in 2006)
• 3/7/2012
"I was satisfied with almost every aspect of my education. The only complaint I had was with getting credit for my clinical hours."
Ratings are on a 1-10 scale
| Characteristic | Rating | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Would Recommend? | maybe | I would recommend it if it's the sort of field they want to be in. If it's something they aren't sure about, I'd probably recommend one of the other cheaper programs available, so they wouldn't invest money into something they won't pursue as a career. |
| Program Reputation | 8 | I had heard good things about it before enrolling and I have heard good things since completing my CNA. |
| Program Quality | 5 | The classes themselves were great. My only complaint was the difficulty in getting all my clinical hours done and accounted for. |
| Instruction | 10 | I was very confident in the instruction I was receiving. My educators were very knowledgeable and capable of answering any questions I had. They also provided any extra help I needed. |
| How Difficult | 5 | It seemed right for the subject matter. The anatomy was a lot of information to learn in a short amount of time. I struggled with it a bit, as well as the medical terms, such as PRN and QID. |
| Hands-On vs. Bookish | We learned from the book, and we also experienced much of what we learned from the book in a hands-on manner. Hands-on practice was always available for anything learned from the book. | |
| Schedule Flexibility | 10 | Morning, afternoon and evening classes were available. I found this to be very flexible. |
| Academic Facilities | 9 | The classroom and lab were very nice, with updated equipment. I felt I had good access to my professors. |
| Social Life | 5 | I would say it's about average for a community college. People of all ages and walks of life are there trying to better their lives. |
| Placement Services | 8 | I was able to find a job quickly. It wasn't my most ideal job, but the experience I gained from it helped in my next/current job. |
| Alumni Network | 5 | I don't think my school really had an alumni network. It was a community college. |
Fontbonne University • St. Louis, MO
Studying Special Education (completion in 2009)
• 3/16/2012
"I was satisfied that I completed my program and was able to obtain my degree. I was not satisfied with my academic advising. My advisors would not listen to me, but I should have made them listen."

| Would Recommend? | no | The school is too expensive. I do not like the atmosphere of the campus. It is too small and everyone knows your business. |
| Program Reputation | 5 | The school had a decent reputation. The school is known for its teacher education program. |
| Program Quality | 1 | The program was very expensive and too time-consuming. |
| Instruction | 7 | The professors were well educated. Some of the professors were not fair in their grading. |
| How Difficult | 5 | My education at Fontbonne was not challenging enough, because of the learning environment that I was in. Many of the students were not qualified to be in the education program, and I was more advanced than most of them, because I received my undergraduate degree at a better school. |
| Hands-On vs. Bookish | It was an equal mix of hands-on learning versus book learning. We had to do a lot of projects outside of classroom time. | |
| Schedule Flexibility | 10 | They have excellent online programs. They have flexible summer, evening, and weekend course offerings. |
| Academic Facilities | 8 | They could use a new and better library. The library is old and needs to be updated and expanded. |
| Social Life | My purpose at school was to study and not to socialize. There are tons of activities for students who need a social life. | |
| Placement Services | 5 | The career placement office is located in a convenient location on campus. You have to do much of the research on your own. |
| Alumni Network | 5 | They contact me a lot about new events, etc. They do not provide enough support for their alumni when it comes to job preparation. |
