From the very beginning I have had an amazing amount of trouble with this school. They are almost impossible to get on the phone you just leave messages with people who never get back to you. When I was trying to enroll I wanted to do the Accounting program but the admission lady I spoke with convinced me that it was a horrible program and I should just do Office Management. When I told her no she assured me that I could change my program later if I was still sure.

From there it became a nightmare... Read More in the financial department. They had me enrolled before they even found out if I would be covered by financial aid. A month into my first 3 courses is when they called and said I still owed some money. I covered the debt because I was already started. They didn't give me a choice.

In the middle of the year I asked to be reduced to one class for the term because I was working full time and my company is very busy during the summer. It took me 3 weeks to talk to someone about my courses. I sent numerous emails and made at least 2 calls a day only to find out my student adviser had quit shortly after I was enrolled. Instead of reducing my course load they increased it and then suspended me because I could not keep up. They still charged me for the classes that I had only been in for 2 weeks even though I didn't sign up for them.

I completely gave up on Virgina College and tried to get my transcripts but I could not reach anybody. I left messages and sent emails but the only call I got back was from a collection agency telling me I owed over $2000 to the school on top of what I owe for my student loans.

Now I can't go to any school because Virginia College swindled me. They are nothing but a bunch of cons from Alabama.

I only have 3 classes left before I graduate, 4 if you can't the class I'm almost done with currently. There are a couple teachers that aren't very engaging like the one I have currently. For the most part though, what you put in is what you get out. If you think that you are gonna pay the school and they magically snap their fingers and you are a master tech, not really how it goes. I try hard and have a 4.0 currently, most of the people that don't know what's going on and/or are getting crummy... Read More grades are not putting in any effort. If you are interested in cars and want a job at a dealership or at some other kind of shop, most of the instructors I have had are Master Techs many of which have worked at dealerships for decades. I'm personally going to Lincoln in order to get hired at Tesla, but if you are eager to learn, put in the effort and try. You can learn a lot.

Despite facing a life-altering disease in my first semester, my experience in the radiography program at RRCC was excellent. The staff showed me unwavering support, adjusting my schedule so I could receive medical treatment. When I decided to take a break to focus on my health, they were helpful and understanding. The program was challenging, but the sense of community among students was unbeatable. RRCC provided me with an education that prepared me for my new career, and their support during a... Read More difficult time confirmed that I made the right choice in attending the program.

Life is cool. Until they make on campus living mandatory for first years. No big deal you might think. That is until you get hit with the fees. It’s a private institution so they’re gonna get their dollar out of you no matter how they do it. You lock yourself out of your dorm? $35. Be in the same area as a incident and suddenly you’re in the student conduct meeting with them. Please lord do not get me started on parking tickets. The security staff offers no security, and they’re dumb as bricks. There’s... Read More probably 4 open parking lots. No stickers let you park there, but the security guards are praying on your downfall hoping that you do. Majority of the classes should be taken online because the professors don’t know how to teach. Teaching yourself would honestly be easier. In short, it feels as if everyone at the school is trying to get you out of your dollar as if its their only purpose. Instead of taking care of the students that they force to live on campus they strip them of everything they can. If I could go back in time I would 100% choose another school without a doubt. I can tell you this; unless you are looking for a chiropractic degree, or playing rugby do not come to this school. Shoot, even other schools offer rugby nowadays.

PTA program was organized, well maintained and thorough. I felt prepared to begin my PTA career and I was properly prepared to take/pass my state boards after graduation. The lab portions and hands on experience was excellent. I enjoyed my internships and I had a job offer the last day of my internship which made the transition from college to career easy. Campus life at Central Penn was sad...there were way too many rules and it didn't feel like a traditional college. I felt that I gained an excellent... Read More education but I missed out on the "college experience" (not drinking, just overall social aspect). There is little to do in the area, the social activities hosted by the college weren't great, and traveling to downtown Harrisburg city didn't feel safe. If you aren't interested in a traditional college experience then it's a decent school. If you are social and want to meet a lot of people from diverse backgrounds, then Central Penn isn't for you.
