Remington College transcript department

To Whom This May Concern,

I am very displeased with the transcript department, specifically Christina Boccard and her direct supervisor, Anekia Smith. On January 3, 2019, I requested a transcript to be sent to Southwest Tennessee Community College. On January 9, my request was denied and refunded to me prematurely after I received an email stating that there was a balance on my account that wasn't fulfilled. In that email from Ms. Boccard, I was asked to contact Ms. Kim [censored]on. Ms. [censored]on confirmed that no balance was owed and that she would communicate with Ms. Boccard to go ahead and process the request. Before that was done, I received an email saying that the funds have been returned to my account. Ms. Boccard communicated to Ms. Smith that canceling the request was a mistake and pushed to have the request sent anyway. There was blatant disregard that the transcript needed to be sent today or I would be dropped from my classes. Being that this was a mistake on their end, I don't feel the situation was handled properly. I don't believe all options were exhausted. At this time, the funds have not been credited to my account. This is very upsetting and unfair that my future is in the hands of those who lack communication.

Remington College lafayette louisiana campus

I went questioning JoAnn Boudreaux Thursday of last week about assignments in my class, she came to teachers class realized the mistake teacher made, i go to school today, and she says she signed me out of program, she said i told her i wanted that, which i never did, she handed me a paper today dated from Thursday, saying i went to her, but there was no reason on paper, when i brought that up, she snatched paper from my hand on and then wrote her initials, then circled...dislike program, i refused to accept it and she had me escorted off campus, never did i get loud or hostile but most importantly i never said i wanted to quit the MA program for any reason!

Remington College medical billing and coding program

The enrollment department made a huge show of how great their program was, instructors that love their jobs, all the great money I was going to make out of the gate, etc. I never should have listened, I'm actually a little embarrassed how much I believed their crap. $16k for the program, first of all, and I'm not even making that annually right now. Most of these entry level jobs pay less than retail and NO ONE recognizes my education w/Remington. I actually had an employer LAUGH IN MY FACE when I mentioned I completed the program w/full honors. They were probably right to, as I found out quickly that the curriculum was HIGHLY outdated and I know less than half of the things I need to work in my field. Things on my certification exams were never even touched on in class, and I had A's in every class so I know I didn't just miss something.

Some instructors were great but I actually had one that spent the entirety of a month long course complaining about her ex. We spent a full 25 minutes on the coursework. Pathetic.

Don't bother trying to get in touch with their "amazing" career services they go on and on about. All but one of my emails has gone unanswered and it's impossible to get them by phone. They don't help me w/my resume or interview tips now that I've graduated. They seem mostly just to be there for show so that new students think they're getting something "extra" that other schools don't offer.

If all that wasn't bad enough, I requested disability accommodations multiple times. There was no confusion on whether or not I actually had a disability; I was pretty obviously physically disabled for the entire program and had multiple doctors notes to prove it. And yet they denied my requests, said everything would be taken care of. Well, long story short, it wasn't.

Remington College crooks

Besides being a complete joke of a school, these people are unprofessional and trashy!
You can work hard to get honors and help teach other students because they tell yôu if you do help they will give you extra credit and then when graduation comes, they want to "mail" your honor cords to you in the mail! Why to hang on my wall?

I worked hard for them and want to wear them at graduation. The director who is hard to understand thick accent said no that was policy.

What a joke! Go to a real school!

Remington College unethical

It is not worth it! Im currently in MBC
1. They lie to get you in here while your speaking to admissions. A few times I started a new class and the books were not even available for the first week so we were told to still come to school and surf the web. This made me irrate considering they had already taken my money to get the books. Then when we actually gave us the books that were late, the kindly gave us one day to finish a weeks worth of homework. How thoughtful!
2. They tell you that if you max our your loans you can use it for daycare or living expenses to help you while your in school full time. What they dont tell you is they keep the extra cash in THEIR bank while your loan is accumulating interest. Then after you graduate they send you a check a few weeks later. So there is NO point to maxing out your loans.
3. I was told a Mac was compatible with the school programs and if i needed to take stuff home it would be fine. Its not, all typing work is NOT compatible with my Mac and I ve had to spend countless hours stuck at the school library with my 3 month old.
4. When you start a program, they bounce you back and fourth between subjects. One day your doing terminology for 4 weeks, then the next 4 weeks your doing anatomy, then back to terminology, then 4 weeks of coding, then Springcharts, and then coding again. Because your NOT consistantly keeping up with terminology and coding you begin to forget. I have a 4.0 since I started and Im stuggling to remember what I did my first month because we havent reviewed anything. I graduate in less then 2 months and im leaving here with a little bit of terminology and thats about it. I feel very unprepared in the career choice Ive learned about. You shouldnt have to feel this way after paying so much for education.

I was also told I would graduate and walk during a certain month because I will be moving a few weeks after, and Im not told that I am unable to walk because there will be NO graduation ceremony that month and I must wait until there is more students.
I feel like my money to books i recieved late, a maxed out loan that I cant have until I graduate, classes with computer programs that are NOT used anymore or are NOT real life situations, and a graduation ceremony that I will not be able to attend. If there is a program you want to do whether it be Medical Assisting, Coding, Business or dental PLEASE CHECK your community colleges first. You can still finish in less then a year. I wish i had someone to tell me this before I signed my paperwork.

Did i forget to mention that campus presidents wife also attended this school? Very nice woman, however, I had to witness her feeding him cake in a pot luck one day with other students around also. At the award ceremony when she was about to go out on Extern he clapped extra loud for her, and made a small speech stating, "Im an even more excited and proud this round because my wife is going out on extern and graduating." Then followed with a quick, "Im happy for you guys too." I wonder how many times they sat around the dinner table making conversation about the people at school and the problems. Conflict of interest much?

Remington College very unprofessional; can't find a job

At first things were ok, but as soon as your first 3 months are over the with, you start to see the staff attitudes change! One teacher booty danced during the whole class, one didn't even know how to take bp, one of the administrative staff went to clubs with my classmates and ran around the school playing the whole time I was enrolled and at the time of graduation, she had nobody paperwork ready! I only had a handfull of teachers that knew what they were teaching, but most of them are simply there for a paycheck. Alot of the girls can't read and still are passed to the next mod due to the teacher being afraid! I took and passed the cpr course, when I asked for the card for over a year, I was told it did not come in yet, only to find out months later that I was not even cpr certified! (wow) here I am stuck with $16, 000 worth of debt, that I can't even begin to find a job to pay! I would not recommend remington college to anyone! Do your research first!

Remington College do not go to this school.

This school is a total rip off. I would not recommend this school to my dog. I am a current student at this school. I'm paying $22, 000 for the Medical Assisting with EKG and X-ray. The school do not have all the equipment that is needed to get ready for the medical field. The handbook stated that you are supposed to get goggles, a lab coat, and a radiation badge, and I have not received any of these things, but I'm paying for it. The X-ray program don't even have radiation to do the X-ray class, but I'm paying for it. There is a teacher who comes to school drunk, which is very unprofessional. The student feel very uncomfortable around a drunk teacher. You don't get taught right. They half teach. Its not all the teachers that are bad, but 90% of them is very unprofessional and should not be a teacher. When doing phlebotomy, we were told to save the one- time use disposable hubs, so they can be washed and reused. That is a OSHA violation. The teachers are more into gossip, then teaching the students who want to be something in life and trying to make a career. The financial aid department refuses student of a breakdown of what they are paying for. There is so much I that I can type about this school. I regret coming to this school.

Remington College no structure

In the beginning this school was very great for maybe 2 or 3 months. But then everything starting going down hill. Teachers quit and the students were without teachers squishing them all in once class almost. There was no structure, rude behavior, students were teaching each other because teachers weren't helping. And the books that were received had so many errors that to figure out the answers to question it would take forever! I thought taking a 9 month course would have great benefits with small classes and more attention and a good curriculum (which i never knew what class i was in exactly) i think i even take a class twice. I was just so confused these months. And now that im asking questions about what i have to do now that i'm finishing, i get NO answers. No one is helping me. All the helpful teachers left. Im stressed out and i just can't take it ! i feel like i'm stuck in a corner. this particular campus is awful, i'm sorry to say.

Remington College harassment

My Grand daughter attends Remington collage, I help her do her home work so i know its being finished. She has a problem with a teacher who harasses students on a daily and singles them out. It seams that the kids she dose this to are the less privileged. She is taking medical billing and coding and sometimes comes home crying because the teacher is so mean. The teacher fails her for her homework and test, i know she dose the home work cus i watch and help and im pretty sure she isnt refusing test to make a 0 on them. If she fails this class she has to pay the school extra money. I told her to ask to speak to the board and her teacher says shes not allowed to speak to any one higher than her. I dont know what to do about it, she tells me the teacher verbally assaults her and at times singles just her out. and my grand daughter isn't one to make something up, nor is she a defiant person. please someone look in to this.

Remington College think twice! really!

When deciding on a college, I don't recommend Remington College.
If you want to actually learn, I don't recommend Remington College.
If you are leader and not a follower, I don't recommend Remington College.
If you want an "Equal" school, I don't recommend Remington College.
If you want to keep your civil rights, I don't recommend Remington College.
If you want to be able to transfer credits, I don't recommed Remington College.
I have no faith in the instructors at Remington College to actually teach what is needed. I would get my assignments go home and teach myself. (I was on the Deans List not some flunkie)
I could not talk to anyone and expect change. The staff at Remington College are a close knit "family"/"friends" and have not made any changes that I noticed, but instead wrote me up on a disciplinary form because I wanted to learn and not chit chat for the first hour of the class. The staff will listen, but then will the tables to make you the "bad guy".
I told the president of Remington that I write a journal and was going to blog my feelings and experiences at Remington, he said, "And I don't care what you write on some blog, it won't matter." So, I did, on a website, today, he told me twice, "You can go." and also I was told that he was going to talk with the "attorneys" tomorrow because what I did was "slander" after the corporate office contacted him. Also, told me that what I did was against the "student 'catalog'/handbook", it is not stated what I did was against any "rule". Many people from Remington even as students, posted their feelings (same as mine) in a blog or on a website.
I believe the staff "fudge" things that go on.
The instructors play favorites.
The staff, especially the instructors, try to make it seem that you cannot make it without them.
I think I was, not really forced, but not given a chance to say "no I am not leaving" because I am not a moldable sheep.
When I spoke to the president and reminded him he asked me to give the school 2 weeks to change, he denied it today. I had to say, "yes you did ask me to give Remington 2 weeks" quite sternly to remind him he did say it.
There are many students who graduate from Remington who don't work in the course they chose. Which is a waste of money.
Really, Think Twice! before getting involved with Remington College.

Remington College harrassment

I left this school in Nov. 2010. Everyday since I've left there, they have called my phone and my mother's phone, not just EVERY SINGLE DAY, but more than once a day. It's absolutely maddening! And don't get me started on the quality of education at this "school".

This school is very Filthy! The desks are very dirty and the bathrooms, forget using them! I have been there for 5 months now and the school is simply disgusting! Also would like to add, there are lack of instructors in the school. My program has no instructor this month. There are a lot of complaints from my fellow classmates regarding this. Plus, the lack of teaching! We haven't learned much. We are better off reading the book ourselves. Three times now, they have passed out books and were told not to use them! Very bad school! Please do not waste your money attending this school! If you do think about going here, think twice!

I to attended Remington College back in 2007 and I also was harassed. Not only was I harassed by phone starting at 8am to 10pm, all of my family members were contacted by Remington asking family members if they know how to get a hold of me. Now this is what gets me, the whole reason I withdrew from there is because I was getting harassed/stalked by a classmate. I had talked to personnel at Remington about this situation and told them if they didnt kick the student out or atleast warn him, that I would withdrawal. So yes, I understand the annoying numerous phone calls daily.

Remington College discrimination... only hires afro-american employees

Remington College Columbia SC campus is the same way as all the others. See Houston West complaints. If your not Afro-American and you are still working there...you quite possibly won't be for long. No matter how professional you are, or even how much the students like you, the DNA will prevail...even if the preferred DNA is unprofessional on the job. This is known as discrimination in the state of SC. There is little diversity left here. This school is just a big money making success thanks to title IV funding from the government that most of these students will not payback because even after graduation they are not competent enough to hold a job and the loans attribute to putting our nation and state in worse debt. The wonderlick entry test score is BS. No SAT needed. Some are there without HS diplomas. Most cannot read or spell adequately. It's all about making money off of the hopeful students. They eventually pass knowing very little more than they entered. Kudos to the students that are going to be succeeders in the work field. You are the few diamonds in the gillions of grains of sand. You could have taken the same course for less than 1/4 of tuition in a genuinely accrediated school with strict guidelines. There ARE different types of accreditation (look it up) on loose to tight levels. The physical therapy program is going to suck more money from hopeful students only to find they won't get hired because they went to a buy your degree school. Remingtons type of accreditation is so loose. Also, FERPA really needs to visit this campus. So much is out of line. Students are lied to everday. It's not good to open a private business here in Columbia SC and reak havoc in our community and the poor hopeful ignorant persons just wanting to accomplish something good in the unknown wrong ways. I am secretly ashamed to be part of the place.

Remington College discrimination & poor customer services

08/03/2010
Lets see which deptment will be next. Brooks just wrip out the addmission deptment. Within 2 weeks 5 people have left. 1 rep (african amercian light skin) quit b/c of the crazy hours. Than the director (asian) also quit. Couple days later 1 rep (asian) got fired. Another rep (asian) end up taking a personal leave (wonder why? what can the reason be or should I say who can it be ?). Anotehr rep (african american/hispanic/white) end up quiting. The reps either got fire or quit b/c of the craziness thats goes on. Whos going to enroll the students now. All the good employees are gone. Hiring couple non african american people does not solve the working ethic of discrimnation, when 85% the employees are african american. Brooks will run this school out of business. How is her online bought, unrecoginize college degree qualfified her being a campus president, when Remington does not accept online high school dipolma. Not only employees hates Brooks, so does the students.

Something really must be done and we all need to stand togherther as they continue to take advantage of the employees and the students. Brooks and Nall will continue if we all keep quiet because corprate does not care as long as they're getting paid! They are only concerned about getting the financial aid money from the students with this ridiculous tuition.They are passing students who don't even come to class or do any work so that they still get financial aid. And will fire teachers who gives the students a F! The students can go to a university and pay less than coming here! This school is truly a rip off! Everyone need to write to the addresses today so that an investigation can be done! Call and write today! We can contact the Investigation Department: US Department of Education 400 Maryland Ave SW Washington, DC 20202 And, the accrediting agency: Michale McComis, Exec. Director 2102 Wilson Blvd. Suite 302 Arlington, VA [protected] Fax [protected] Email: [protected]@accs.org

Corporate doesnt care who Brooks fires and hires. Why? bc Brooks have back up from Dr. Nall. She loves to fire people b/c she gets to feel powerful. She gets the thrill out of it. This company has so much high turn overs, that no one can keep cant anymore. Every week someone either gets fire or quit. She likes to fire people b/c there not african american, been with the company too long time (meaning she doesnt want anyone to be able to retire or have senority there), or looks better than her. One employee that was there for a year, quit b/c she couldnt stand her attitude and working crazy long hours. Another brand new employee that was african amercian only lasted a week bc she couldnt handle Brooks job duties. Another employee just quit b/c Brooks does not believe that employees are allow to spend time with family. She wants her employees to work everyday. A long term loyaty business dept. chair just got fire and replace by another african amercian. Students needs to report to the Better Business Bureau www.bbb.org and file a complaint. Employees needs to report to U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commisssion www.eeop.gov, [protected] or email [protected]@eeoc.gov . We all need to stand together and report on Brooks, since corporate is so scared to do anythign to her.

Brooks just hire 2 more African American. One is so ghetto fabolous with his hair due. This company doesnt believe in diversity. All Brooks does is hire her own people. How many non African American people has she hired since she became a campus president? Good Luck to all the non African American people are left. Lets see how long you will last there

I'm a student here...do not go here, it's a waist of money! I'm in the cosmetology school. They have no white teachers here, and they just fired Mrs. Gill which she was white, and they also fired Amber which was the receptionist, and she was white to. Mrs. Gill was replaced with a black person. If you are white, do not come here you will just learn black hair and no white hair. Waist of money at Remington. Oh, and when you get into your 9th month, they don't even have a class room for your last 4 months at the school. You will not learn anything here.

The reason why Brooks havent got fire becuz corp. is SCARED of her. WHY? Dr. Nall is the regionol and a investor for remington. Brooks and Nall have something going on. If Brooks get fired she will file a law suit on remington on Dr.Nall. Corporate ias scared of that will happen. Do u think a administation assistant is qualifed to become a campus president. HELL NO! Everyone will be fire except her and her cousin.

FIRST OF ALL, LET ME SAY THAT I LOVE MY INSTRUCTORS AND MY CLASSMATES. AS FOR THE SCHOOL ITSELF, I THINK IT COULD BE ALOT BETTER. THE INSTRUCTORS ARE EXCELLENT AND VERY EASY TO WORK WITH AND LEARN FROM. MRS. BROOKS IS A PAIN IN THE ###, SHE DON'T CARE ABOUT NOBODY BUT HERSELF. MRS. BROOKS IS VERY RUDE, MEAN AND HATEFUL TOWARDS HER COWORKERS AND THE STUDENT BODY. WHENEVER ANYONE OF US STUDENT TRY TO TALK TO HER, SHE BLOWS US OFF. SHE ONLY ACTS LIKE SHE CARES WHEN SHE IS IN FRONT OF OTHERS. TWO WEEKS AGO WE HAD A MEETING AND STUDENTS WERE HELD PAST OUR LUNCH TIME BECAUSE SHE WAS VERY LATE. THEN IT WAS DURING THE HURRICANE AND STUDENTS NEEDED TO LEAVE, AND SHE HELD US HERE BECAUSE SHE DIDN'T FEEL LIKE IT WAS AN EMERGENCY TO LEAVE. ALSO SHE WOULDN'T LET US LEAVE BECAUSE HER DAUGHTER WAS GETTING HER HAIR DONE IN THE SALON. SHE WASN'T THE LEAST BIT CONCERNED FOR OUR SAFETY. LITTLE DOES SHE KNOW, I HAD TO WALK IN KNEE HIGH WATER GOING HOME. SHE DOESN'T UNDERSTAND THAT SOME OF HER STUDENTS BE HAVING SERIOUS THINGS GOING ON WITH THEM AND SHE DOESN'T EVEN CARE ENOUGH TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY ARE OK. EVEN WHEN WE TRY TO MAKE UP OUR HOURS THAT WE MISSED, SHE BLOWS US OFF, THEN THEY ARE CHARGING US A ARM AND A LEG TO CONTINUE GOING TO SCHOOL IF WE FAIL A MOD. WHAT WE ALL WANNA KNOW IS, WHERE THE HELL IS THE MONEY GOING? WE NEED BETTER UNIFORMS CAUSE THE ONES THEY GIVE US ARE SO CHEAP AND THEY GET MESSED UP EASILY. THEY ALSO NEED TO GET RID OF ALL THE OLD TOWELS WE USE CAUSE PEOPLE BE GETTING SICK USING THOSE OLD TOWELS NOMATTER HOW MANY TIME THEY GET WASHED. I'M TELLING MY BROTHER TO NOT COME HERE CAUSE IT'S NOT WORTH IT AT ALL. THIS SCHOOL IS VERY SCREWED UP. BACK TO MRS. BROOKS, SHE FIRED OUR CHAIRMAN, MRS. BETTY GILL AND THEN OUR SECRETARY AMBER AS WELL. SO SINCE THEY'RE GONE, OUR HOURS ARE BEING JACKED UP CAUSE NOBODY KNOWS HOW TO CALCULATE THE HOURS UP AT ALL. SO MRS. BROOKS IS GONNA LOOK REALLY BAD WHEN HALF HER STUDENT WALK OUT ON HER. SHE IS A BAD CAMPUS PRESIDENT AND I THINK WE DESERVE BETTER. IT IS NOT FARE TO US THAT SHE TREAT US WITH SUCH DISRESPECT. IT IS SO DEPRESSING TO SEE HOW SHE TREATS THE YOUNG LADIES THAT STYLE HER HAIR. SHE LIKE TO FUSS AND COMPLAIN ABOUT EVERYTHING. WE SHOULDN'T HAVE TO BE AFRAID EVERYTIME SHE WALKS ON THE CAMPUS. YOU CAN'T TURN REMINGTON INTO A CLUB. I'M AN AFRICAN AMERICAN AND I AGREE THAT SHE NEEDS TO STOP WITH THE RACISM. WE NEED A NEW PRESIDENT AND I THINK THE REST OF THE STUDENTS WILL AGREE. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND NOBODY TO COME HERE ANYMORE. MRS BROOKS NEEDS TO TAKE A HIKE!

Frankly I went to this school to start a new, all I have found was lies. I've been to Houston Community College and its alot better than this. The teachers are powerless over the changes the heads make, it is all about making money to remington college, the cosmetology department is the only school I know that has to make a 125 hours a month in order to pass. The kit that you get does not last especially if you're like me and ride the bus. The Drop out rate is about one half of the students. You have to wear a uniform which is rediculous considering the fact that you have to stay there for 6, sometimes 8 hours if you have to make up a holiday. Most of the staff is caring and understanding but other than that this is a horrible college. You cant trade you credits, you wont get your money back and most of all they set you up for failure so that they can get more of your money. Dont go here, if you do you'll probably end up sorry that you did.

Remington College Houston-West Campus. I'm afraid I have wasted $24, 000 for nothing! In the beginning I went for a tour... the kit seemed awesome.. the state of the art salon seemed awesome...I was told I would be taught esthetics (facials), the purpose of me starting the course...EVERYTHING was a front to get me in! I"m afraid that I am wasting MONEY AND TIME!.. Not learning much because rules change alot and the instructors have to stop class to handle issues that Do Not pertain to our education. I am very disappointed and feel at a lost. I will NOT Recommend no one to come here. A matter of fact..feel the need to warn those who try to attend! So I'm writing on this review because bringing issues up L. Brooks will be unnoticed!...I have tried!..I've got a Promised Change and NO Change!

Remington College Houston- West campus is the worst place to work for. I would never recommend anyone to this College. It's a shame the campus is beautiful but the Campus President is such a [censored]. (Lashundia Brooks). She does not know how to treat and appreciate the employees. She is very unprofessional and have no compassion for employees. You will be discriminated on you skin color, if you are not African American. Where do i begin to tell you, she fired all other race and replaced them all with African American employees. She does not give anyone a second chance except her own people/relative. No one is allow to make mistake, it does not matter it's minor or major. She fired everyone left and right. There is no motivation left for employees to work hard for. Nothing is good enough for her. She like to intimidate employees. She will look at you up and down. If you are not African American you will not last long. African American employees make mistake she let it slide by, but if it's some other race then it's done "You Are Fired". It's so embarrassing when students are saying this is Ghetto school look at most of the managers/empoyees are African American. I don't know what the company see in Brooks to allow her to run the College. She is not qualified to be the Campus President. She's not only mean and rude to the employees, she is also like that with the students. Students are suppose to come first. I do not know why corporate office is so scared of her. She will ruin this company pretty soon...Best of luck to some of the good employees left...not many left...soon will be none...

Remington College Columbia SC campus is the same way. If your not Afro-American and you are still working there...you quite possibly won't be for long. No matter how professional you are, or even how much the students like you, the DNA will prevail...even if the preferred DNA is unprofessional on the job. This is known as discrimination in the state of SC. There is little diversity left here. This school is just a big money making success thanks to title IV funding from the government that most of these students will not payback because even after graduation they are not competent enough to hold a job and the loans attribute to putting our nation and state in worse debt. The wonderlick entry test score is BS. No SAT needed. Some are there without HS diplomas. Most cannot read or spell adequately. It's all about making money off of the hopeful students. They eventually pass knowing very little more than they entered. Kudos to the students that are going to be succeeders in the work field. You are the diamonds in the grains of sand. You could have taken the same course for less than 1/4 of tuition in a genuinely accrediated school with strict guidelines. There ARE different types of accreditation on loose to tight levels. Remingtons type is loose. Also, FERPA really needs to visit this campus. So much is out of line. It's not good to open a private business here in Columbia SC and reak havoc in our community and the poor hopeful ignorant persons just wanting to accomplish something good in the unknown wrong ways. I am secretly ashamed to be part of the place.

Remington College complaint

I'm a student here...do not go here, it's a waist of money! I'm in the cosmetology school. They have no white teachers here, and they just fired Mrs. Gill which she was white, and they also fired Amber which was the receptionist, and she was white to. Mrs. Gill was replaced with a black person. If you are white, do not come here you will just learn black hair and no white hair. Waist of money at Remington, go to Paul Mitchel on katy freeway. Oh, and when you get into your 9th month, they don't even have a class room for your last 4 months at the school. You will not learn anything here.

Remington College poor educational service

Parents (Think Twice):
Classrooms are over crowded, there has been allot of THEFT in the time our daughter has been there, which is almost one year now! The campus has made no attempt to put a stop to the stealing and there are no lockers to lock up equipment. Apparently when students leave for lunch and lectures anyone can walk in and steal the students equipment... and the STUDENTS are expected to replace what's taken!
The holidays are not really holidays and the students and staff are expected to come in on weekends in order to MAKE UP CREDITS. My wife and I are really disappointed and hope things change but so far they aren't off to a very good start! (Higher Education? Please!)

I'm a student at this school, and my only "white" teacher was just fired and replaced with an africa america person. I am stuck at this school, the credits do not transfer, I have to stay here. Police have been called out many times to escourt people out. Do not go to this school. I hate it, big mistake. Ms Brooks even fired my recruiter. Ms. Brooks Does not know what she is doing. Do not work here or go to school here. If you get a job then get ready to look for another one, Ms Brooks will fire you to. This school is costing $20, 000, do not go here. Oh, I forgot to mention that the receptionist also just got fired. Yes, you guessed it, she was white to.

Remington College rip off and unprofessional

first of all let me say that the advisors work hard for the students but the school is a rip off and a joke. they are intrested in only one thing and that is money. i was in the cosmetology program for about 6 months and had a circus of problems. the intructors were helpful and were alwasy there for the students. as for the campus president she is not for the students and i feel that a major race issue was involved in the way i was treated and the things that happened on campus were very unneccesary and unreasonable by every standard. i would never reccomened this school to anyone. i completed over 600 clock hours meaning i was halfway thru and i had kept a 4.0 gpa the entire time, now that ive chosen to leave remington college they refuse to release my hours and im forced to take a new student loan and start over at another school. if i had been treated with respect at this school and possibly taught something other then how to make the school money i might of just changed campuses but id rather just start over and leave remngton due to how they work and operate. remington west campus is unethical and greedy. its racist and non developmental towards your chosen career in my truest and most honest opinion. its very hard not saying how i truley feel about this school and still keep myself dignified and professional in all aspets. as i feel i was robbed and cheated and very disheartened about my dream of becoming a stylist. at this point many changes need to be made to this school and the person who has authority there needs to be investigated on her pocedures and protocols and most of all her attitude and mannerisms against students. my biggest issue is when my car was backed into at school. the constable made a report supposedly and ms.brooks did as well. i was told it would be ready within 24hrs and when i called for it to give to insurance company i was given the run around and no phone calls were accepted or returned. the insurance company finally got in contact with her and was told no reports were being made. i called and asked if i could come get statements from witnesses and i was told i could not come to the school. the claim was denied because thast how the drivers nsurance works. so im out of over 1grand gettin my car fixed. tho thats not the reason for my feelings towards remington as there were several incidents and problems with the school and the director as i was made to feel i wasnt good enough to be at her school or in her presence. i paid a 20grand tuiton to feel robbed and mislead and will stop at nothing to get my career and my dream. and thats with no help to remington other then ms.walker. shes the only thing remington has going for them at that campus and someone truley does need to go and look into why the students are not being taught their weak points and only being made to work in their strong points with clients as its a learning institution not a everyday salon. priorities are not in order and its not fair. also the fact that were lied to about our hours and how they can not be taken elsewhere. the only truth in taht is that remington wont release them but they are accepted at other college...wheres the fairness in that? we worked for them so why arent we allowed to keep them? again that campus is a scam and ripoff and the biggest joke ive ever seen and DO NOT recommend to any other fellow students. other campuses might be better but DO NOT attend west campus as you will waste your time and money and chances loosing your dream and ambitions! ms. brooks is unprofessional in the way she handles the students and in the way she carries the schools important matters when related to the students!

Remington College is an extremely rip-off, you will end up owning the government between $9000-10, 000 with nothing to show for it.
They have so-called Career Services Representatives that are suppose assist you in finding a job in the field you trainned for but all they do is place or attempt to place you in some low-paying telemarketing/call center job. Instead of going to Remington College you would be much better off financially and emotionally to attend your local community college.

Remington College crap school

Im a Graphic Design student and Today is my last day of classes...(well it would be if not for a racist socialist teacher causing me to walk out on my speech class and the admin not doing anything about it) and the course director just informed us that we wont be having our portfolio show so the fat medical people can have an eating party. This has been my experience the whole 2 years I have been attending this school. I have been shown that the programs with more students (= more incoming money for the school) are favored and treated better. I have had many problems with professionalism at this school and its just pathetic. I decided to attend here to get a more personalized education and I have to say my art teachers are very good, but the Administration is so ### and does anything they can to NOT help you; it's just insane how they're still in business. I just think that if anyone is reading this you should know that before you invest $40, 000. I think for that amount of money you shouldn't have to listen to your speech teacher telling you how to hustle car salesmen and how his kids do drugs or how he hates gay people...also, the man under the president told me (after the school randomly changed their attendance policy to ensure they collect more money from the state) that if he were my boss he would fire me because my car broke down while my parents were on a cruise and I couldn’t get to school for a few days...even though it was rude and pissed me off, it was kind of funny because I have 2 jobs and both my bosses were understanding of the situation. I could probably write about 5 pages of random unnecessary ### I have put up with from this school but I wont for the sake of readability. IF YOU’RE CONSIDERING ATTENDING THIS SCHOOL, DON’T if you want to keep your sanity…just go to a state school and save your money.

Its all true-the "school" as a whole is a sham, the teachers are heavily influenced (nearly threatened)and god forbid your personal life interferes with your attendance. Any excuse or emergency that affects your chance to be ###-in-seat when that first buzzer goes off, meant your daily grade is summarily executed. I too was Graphic Design and we were crapped on by the med students, as far as resource materials and 'field trips' were concerned. Any function we tried to have that involved outside people other than a student or staff was strictly looked down on.
And then there is the technical staff...largest group of half-working, Dilbert-worshippers I've ever had to deal with. Anytime I had a laptop issue, it was basically factory reset-no warnings given, just deleted. If your work was gone then it was your FAULT for not backing up your work.(What if my Ctrl or Return button isn't working? Or if the screen froze (ridiculous CURSED RAINBOW DISC)
.. Also the "official programs" that we purchased (read: textbooks with included lessons, NOT the full program) are basically now obsolete.
Here in Texas I applied for the Pell Grant, which strangely enough you had to qualify for to even be allowed to attend each semester...each student by law is supposed to be given the excess amount of money that the school didn't use toward that months fee...I pretty much had the rest stolen from me and the school tried to convince me that they were using it for my "field trips" and "extra supplies". I brought every single pen, pencil and paper on my dime.NO HELP at all.
I suggest everyone read these complaints and forward, forward, forward them to anyone who even THINKS of applying there. Its been reported on the local news here about fraudulent fees, charges, and 'administrative action'. DO NOT GO THERE.

I HATE REMINGTON. I WENT TO THE ONE IN WEST HOUSTON AND SAW ONE OF THE HEAD STAFF MEMBERS HELPING ONE OF THE STUDENTS PASS THE TEST REQUIRED TO GET INTO THE SCHOOL AND THE POOR THING NEVER LEARNED ANYTHING. I FEEL SO BAD THAT I WASTED MY MONEY ON THIS SCHOOL AND WILL PROABABLY BE STUCK PAYING THIS LOAN FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE. ITS SO BS AND THE LAWS ARE DESIGNED TO PREVENT YOU FROM TAKING ANY TYPE OF ACTION AGAINST THESE INSTITUTIONS. ITS ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS. I JUST WANT TO PRINT OUT SOME OF THESE COMMENTS AND GO PASS THEM OUT TO THEIR CURRENT STUDENTS. NOT A STRETCH AT ALL TO SAY THAT ATTENDING THIS SCHOOL WAS THE WORST DECISION OF MY LIFE
