What DIDN'T happen!!!

I don't even know where to start!! I attended BMC Phoenix Nursing program. From the get go, there were repeated schedule changes, nursing instructors hired with no nursing knowledge whatsoever!! The staff was way too clicky. If you pissed off one, you were on the @#$& list the rest of the program...IF you made it that far. Rules changed from cohort to cohort....and from student to student. We were not allowed to share grades with other students because they passed incompetent students and failed competent students! There was a lot of favoritism. The staff was rude and made fun of students who weren't grasping concepts. Oh, and did I mention......it's now 7 months after graduation and we STILL do not have our Diplomas?? (nobody seems to know who to contact for them. WTF!!)

They changed my schedule three times while I was actually at the school! I was in one class that my schedule said I was supposed to be in, just for the sign in sheet not to have my name on it.

I questioned the office and they said they had changed my schedule and oops, forgot to tell me. It happened three times like that

WORST SCHOOL EVER AVOID AT ALL COST!!!!!!!!!!

I graduate from Brown Mackie Tucson az just two months ago. At the end of my schooling they took out a student loan without me knowing and refuse to admit it. Even after showing hard copy documents from their school they still deny it! Go to *** Brown Mackie College!!!!!!!!!!! If you are considering brown Mackie college for any program do not attend unless you enjoy being lied too, called a liar, scammed out of you're money, and left to fight through all the moronic mistakes they make on a daily basis. I would rather die a horribly painful death then have to deal with brown Mackie even again!

Sue them!! If you have the hard copy evidence you say you do, you have nothing to lose.

If anything you have a whole lot to gain! The damages you could receive from that could have you set for a while! AND there's a really good chance someone will go to jail. Loan fraud is a felony and taken VERY seriously.

That would be some sweet revenge. Getting paid in a lawsuit and someone going to jail.

Plus you know it would make headlines, so they would also be hurt in the media. Triple threat.

Review from Gainesville, Florida

I graduated 6 months ago from Brown Mackie college in Ohio. I was in the IT program. It was ok at first, but when I started going through the classes, I ended up teaching a few of the instructors because they had no idea what the heck was going on. I had one teacher that was able to teach me anything. They are supposed to help you find a job?? That's garbage. They will help you and get you connected, but its all minimum wage jobs. Why bother go to college for that!? The externship they put me in was at a local computer repair shop which didn't sound too bad. When I got there the guy told me I'm just there to get hours and wanted me to clean the nasty storage room and sweep and mop. They had roaches and bugs and was a disaster. Don't they look at these places before they send their students??? I was lucky to land a good job after completing my last course, not because of Brown Mackie, but because of my military experience. I will not endorse Brown Mackie, and I will always be ashamed of being an alumni. I wish there was some way to get my money back. I can't even further my education because 99% of colleges don't see Brown Mackie as acredited. So I'll have to start all over. DO NOT GO TO BROWN MACKIE....AVOID IT AT ALL COSTS. You are better off going to your local community college.

Brown Mackie College - Quad Cities

I went to Brown Mackie college Quad Cities for 2 months. Never again. That school is a rip off, the staff are stuck up, there policies are screwed up, and they constantly called me/ emailed/texted me when I was unable to attend class AFFTER notifying my instructor. I was going to BMCQC for Medical assisting. I have now taken my education elsewhere and am majoring in Early Childhood at Black Hawk College They were pissed off at me for deciding to leave because they knew they wouldn't be getting anymore of my FA money. I now owe then over 3,000!

They were constantly calling me and demanding that I tell them what was going on with me missing class. I had already notified the instructor two hours before class started but was still called by the chair person after school had ended for the day. After getting four and five calls a day, I started turning my phone off, just for them to start calling my stepdad ( my emergency contact number) at work the same number of times.

Brown Mackie College - Bad Education Review

I am currently going to Brown Mackie in Hopkinsville Ky. I'm now entering my second month and I feel like they are taking advantage of me and all the students that go there or have went there. It seems like none of the teachers are really teachers they have only worked in the field. This is ridiculous!! I haven't been taught anything because the teacher doesn't know how to teach a class and I feel like that I'm going to leave there with no education. I need help asap on how to get out of this contract.

All u have to do is go to the dean and tell him that u want to withdraw, and he will do the paper work. He might try to talk u out of it don't listen run.

You are feeling the same way I was.

I'm so happy to be back at a real college. Bt its simple to get out of the contract.

Guest

I am currently enrolled in the Medical Assisting Program At Brown Mackie College in Phoenix, AZ. I absolutely hate it.

I am not sure how to get out of this nightmare either. I applied for financial aid via FAFSA @ the college, which was basically filled out quickly for me from the staff. I started one week later being told only that I had been "approved" and have yet to receive an answer as to if I received a grant or if I am going to have some massive loan to pay back. Class mates are rude and my instructor, who by the way holds no teaching certifications, believes that we should have 2 to 3 hours of homework for every 1 hour of in class time.

Hello? That's 24 to 36 hours of homework for a Professional Development class, in which I have learned nothing about professional development. The assignments that I have received for homework have absolutely nothing to do with anything I've heard in class. It's like taking a class about my instructors life.

I don't care. I came there to learn. I don't like her, and she clearly despises me. But I didn't go there to make friends, I went there to learn, which I have yet to do.

In the beginning at the orientation they act like they are totally there to help every student and they want to be your best friend. What a joke. I also just received a bill for my scrubs which I was told at the time were covered by my financial aid. I will definitely be doing some legal research on how to get out of this mess.

There has to be some sort of time frame to back out of any contract. I think it's 30 days. But I am afraid of what will happen as I have read horror stories about other students quitting and Brown Mackie continues to receive the loan or grant funds.

I'm not paying back a loan for something if I don't continue with this program. ugh!

You knew how much every credit was worth. They never make it a secret.

If you could not afford it, you shouldn’t have gone there in the first place. Everywhere you go if you don’t pay up debt they charge interest. Give them their money back.

IUSB would have done the same. You owe them period - pay back

Brown Mackie College Program Review

I ONLY can day through taking students from Brown Mackie COTA program, and interviewing graduates from this program that they do not prepare these students well at all for internship phase. I think I did more teaching than the program. And I don't get 30,000 for it:( Not a a great school at all!

Scammed by Brown Mackie

I have been attending Brown Mackie College for 7 months now. Before I went to a University. I started out in a rough place in life and explained my situation to all the staff. They acted sincere but during each class I was treated horribly. I was nearly homeless with only one outfit working my way back up. I was still counted off for not dressing in business apparel. I am also pregnant and in a high risk pregnancy and they have refused to let me make up work for any days or even just hours I missed, I have explained in detail when I would be gone and how long ahead of time so that I could make up or do extra work, they did not allow it. Not on,y this but my financial aid has been messed up nearly three times. I never get my refund when I'm supposed to and they control it like I'm a child. 3 smaller incriminates over the 9 month period instead of all at once or in two sets like normal colleges. Not to mention they cost twice the amount of a normal college. My stipend has been on hold for nearly three months and they just keep blowing me off. No matter how many times I call they tell me they don't know and they'll ask a supervisor. No one ever calls me back or gives me a straight honest answer, I'm sick and tired of this school. It's a scam. I want so bad to protest in front of the building or slander them in every news paper. Not only have they pushed me around and treated me poorly but when I tried to transfer to an all online college since I'm due soon, I can't because Brown Mackie can legally hold my financial aid for 9 months! Even if I withdrawal or drop out I will not great that money back to attend a new school. I'm forced to lose it or stay with them for the entire 9month term. And if I drop out for my delivery of all things I will owe the government. It's a scam that literally controls my life and I'm so broke and a single mother struggling that I can't do anything about it. I hate Brown Mackie and I hope I can help warn people of their scandalous ways. DO NOT ATTEND BROWN MACKIE

I attention brown Mackie college. The teachers are amazing and so is the staff .

my best friend just graduated from there, he's now working at a plastic surgery center. Looks like things are going great for him, and me also.

Maybe its your attitude, brown Mackie doesn't care about how you look or dress. You probably gave everyone *** trying to make people feel bad for you.

Guest

I feel it is also a scam. They have allowed one of my consumers in.

They have told him they deal with all kinds I disabilities.

He is mentally retarded. And I feel they are gonna take advantage of him

Is this Greenville, sc campus or another?

They kept federal student aide money in my name and I didnt attend the school

I was going to attend the school but because of the high cost I changed my mind and decided to attend a local college even though that meant waiting 5 more months to start classes and it was really hard to get into the occupational therapy program the difference in price was crazy not to try. So I told brown Mackie that I was not going to attend weeks before classes even started 2years later my new school asks me for a transcript from them because it shows that they received federal student aide I am totally confused call my loan officer we go over it and apparently they kept my student aide even though I never attended their school which is fraud and they better fix it because I wont stop going after them until something is done. I cant finish my education because of them and that's not going to happen.

I am currently attending Brown Mackie College in ATL, GA and everything is going well. What exactly are you guys complaining about?

Guest

I can't see what year this was posted but I have a valid complaint. I went to the Brown Mackie College in Hopkinsville, Kentucky.

My email is anugent0915@***.com if I can be of any service to you or let me know who to contact about this. I know plenty of info and I can give you the name of a teacher that was an actual lawyer that taught us government. He sued Brown Mackie and they settled with him when he spilt all about the school to the ones doing an audit on the school. All the administrative staff was fired and most of the teachers.

It happened about 3 months after I graduated in 2009. Thanks and good luck!

Sexual harassment by a teacher

A teacher at the Albuquerque New Mexico campus sexually harassed me and told me he wanted to *** with me if he wasn't my teacher. He still works at the school. The school has done nothing about it. However they fired another teacher there just because he emailed someone something. I'm angry because this teacher who harassed me is still teaching at my school and he could do that to me again in the future or to a different student. I want this teacher reprimanded or fired. He should not be teaching at this school. He doesn't have respect for his students or his staff. And I want the teacher who was fired to have his job back.

I have a sexual harassment video that our teacher made us watch, I showed it to our dept head and he is still teaching also. I'm having more issues as well as other students in my same class, to the point where I refuse to sign any document without a lawyer present.

I as well as other students have a long list of things they have done illegally to us and we are in our last few months before graduating, they are coming up with complaints to pull us out without verifying the truth. Your teacher should protect you, not try to make your life ***.

WORST DECISION EVER!!! FINANCIAL AID RIP-OFF

My last months there, I had financial aid & Pell grants so much so that I was at a ZERO balance & was ready to graduate. I received a check in the mail from Sallie Mae for $1420.00. I called Sallie Mae & they stated that Brown Mackie gave them the okay to mail the check to me because I had a ZERO balance, the check was mine to do with what I choose, just understand that at some point I will have to repay the money to the Federal Loan Services people. I had to wait 3 months to walk to graduate by the time I was finished with my last class & externship, by that time I was already 3 months into a REAL University for my Bachelors. My whole time as a student I had a 4.0 GPA. They wanted me to cash the check & bring the money to them! NEVER had I ever had to do that. THE WHOLE PLACE IS A RIP-OFF; NOT WORTH YOUR TIME OR MONEY; SOME OF THE CLASSES WERE A JOKE; EXTERNSHIP WAS A JOKE; FINANCIAL AID WAS A JOKE!!
