Ratings are on a 1-10 scale
| Characteristic | Rating | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Would Recommend? | yes | It was a good degree and I got a job. I recommend it for people who want to go into this business. |
| Program Reputation | 7 | The reputation is good within the region. Outside of Wisconsin, it isn't well known. |
| Program Quality | 8 | It was an easy degree for me. I enjoy physical contact, and there was plenty of real-world experience. |
| Instruction | 5 | There were a few below-average teachers. Otherwise, the instruction was very useful. |
| How Difficult | 9 | The work wasn't that difficult. There was plenty of help when you needed it. |
| Hands-On vs. Bookish | We needed and got a lot of hands-on experience. Some were graduate students and some were just customers that were given a discount. | |
| Schedule Flexibility | 3 | Classes were locked in. You had to schedule around their times. |
| Academic Facilities | 7 | Everything was well equipped. I have no complaints about the facilities. |
| Social Life | 3 | Most people would just worry about their own business. There weren't many young people. |
| Placement Services | 6 | They found me a job right away. It wasn't hard at all to find placement. |
| Alumni Network | 4 | There really isn't an alumni network. Once you have a job, there wasn't a lot of need to network with people. |

| Would Recommend? | maybe | If they had the money, then yes, I would recommend it. |
| Program Reputation | 3 | They show commercials for the school. I only know of one other person that is doing this career from that school. |
| Program Quality | 5 | School was school. This particular school was better than the tech college. It was nice because they were flexible and had night and day classes. |
| Instruction | 7 | They go above and beyond to make sure you are ready for a career. Everyone is behind you in that school. |
| How Difficult | 5 | I have my cosmetology license, so I was already familiar with some things. I also worked in spa before and have had massages many times in my life. |
| Hands-On vs. Bookish | You had to do both with the massage therapy classes - state requirements. | |
| Schedule Flexibility | 10 | They offered night and weekend classes plus you were able to go to the other campus they had as well. We also didn't get breaks like most colleges - we went straight through. |
| Academic Facilities | 10 | It was a brand new campus so everything was new and top of the line. |
| Social Life | I just went to school and left. I had a full time job. | |
| Placement Services | 1 | They didn't help once I was done and they had my money. I had to go out and find my own job. |
| Alumni Network | 1 | Granted I have moved since graduating, so I haven't heard anything from them. I do keep in touch with an administrator, but she was also my high school principal. |
