This is not a good school they dont have places to send us when we go to our externships. they are giving us the run around. the director of the dms program is not here to help us. i feel this school wants us to fail and just taking our money.theyre stressing students out and some of the students are having breakdowns too because of the lack of information we are getting and all the 3 different campus are doing competely different things and are not being ran the same..its one college not three different campus.
