"So far it's been a challenging yet exciting experience. My Term 1 A&P teachers are very helpful and keep us engaged. I also take stats and just wish there was a better/helpful process for homework/class activities. Other than that i've enjoyed it so far. (:"

"I really enjoyed my time at Stanbridge University and with my cohort. I think their programs really help to prepare you for your career after graduation. I felt confident taking my exam, and had a lot of study support from the school and my cohort. If I decide to take the next step in my career, I will go back to Stanbridge."

"Great University to go to, it is expensive tho. I passed all my classes and graduated on time. Just do what is expected and follow the rules and wear the correct uniform. You know your enrolling in nursing school it's strict some instructors are strict and will send you home for being late 2 minutes. Read, read, read all the chapters that are assigned, take notes. Don't be absent. Always show up."

"You are given so much support and guidance from staff. It’s very reassuring to know they will be available for help are willing to be there for you when you need them, especially during lab. There’s also a lot of advanced technology that Stanbridge has that helps you learn such as the syn-daver and 3D digital models in the computer lab."

"When it comes to private nursing schools in the area, it looks like Stanbridge is one of the better ones. They do have high pass rates for the NCLEX and are ranked high in the state. Like other schools, they could be better. They can get disorganized"

"So many resources available to all student to make sure we all succeed. Professors I’ve had so far have gone above and beyond. It really feels like everyone I’ve ever talked to or interacted with cares about me and making sure I do well and get to where I want to be."

"Stanbridge, so far, is very informational and easy to complete my classes. Everything is straight forward and they have a lot of resources at your disposal. The online classes for me have been easy to navigate making it a great start to my my first term as a stanbridge student."

"Still attending school, but I absolutely love my group of study buddies and the fact that the teachers are supportive to most people. They host study classes and want everyone to succeed for the most part. I'm still on my first semester and it is getting a little difficult but I know everyone else is in the same boat"

"Our program had a lot of clinical cancellations even until the end. Most of our theory teacher were good. If I recommend Stanbridge, I don’t know. Is a very strict program for a part time LVN class and clinical sites weren’t challenging enough to learn and practice the new skills."

"Everything when it comes to our education and the classes are satisfactory. Although many of us students severely dislike edverum and prefer Canvas due to the lags and the complexity of the app in comparison. I would also add that all the students expected a bit more resources wether it was more uniform deals, or student centered events for to the amount of tuition we pay."

"The LVN nursing program was a mess. They overcharge so many people in my cohort while others were paying different tuition fees for the same exact classes, that itself says so much about this place. The people writing the good reviews are some of the Staff!! Dont go here, save your money go elsewhere."

"My time at Stanbridge was rewarding. I faced many obstacles, but I am thankful for the certain teachers that helped support me and push me to my best. I have learned many lessons both inside and outside of the classroom. Overall, I am thankful for my lifelong friendships I have made here!"

"It was Okay. It wasn’t amazing but also wasnt terrible. I feel as if sometimes they don’t truly care about their students. They have some amazing instructors though. I am proud though to say I am almost graduated from this school. It has definitely been a journey to get to this point"

"The Physical Therapist Assistant program was very difficult, but all of the teachers were supportive and always available to help out. I feel prepared for my licensing exam and to get out to work in the real world. The worst part was going to school during Covid and how they handled it."

"Please, read carefully before signing up for this school. I was a high school junior when I came across Stanbridge. They made it seem better than it actually is. The process of going in wasn't bad and the person helping me was very kind. When I got into the classes it was very fast pace, I didn't really feel like I was really grasping the information. I didn't feel like I was actually doing something worthwhile, that was until labs which were fun and very helpful. Be mindful that anything below 75% is failing. I, unfortunately, didn't pass one of my final exams and was dismissed from the program. I still talk to some of the students that were in my cohort and even they would agree that it's not much of a help and they don't really care about their students. Some of the professors weren't much help, nor tutors, and I felt helpless. Before being in debt to this school, make sure it's something you want and are ready for. Don't make the same mistake I did and go into it blindly, look at reviews because at the end of the day we have nothing to lose. They only want profit."

"Worst school ever. Please before you attend ask the people how long teaching background the instructors have NOT HOW LONG HAVE THEY WORKED INT HE FIELD. So many teachers quit here the teacher they currently have is clinicals teacher not teaching background. One thing is hands on and another teaching. All he does is read off slides u ask a question oh just study they give u a test has nothing to do with what he told by to study. Seriously all this school cares about is money. If u talk bad about one instructor it goes against you. PLEASE DO NOT ATTEND I WAS CHARGED OVER 3K for attending 3months. DIRECTOR IS LVN ONLY THAT SAYS A LOT !!! Since the pandemic is terrible term 1 about 20ppl dropped after having 2 instructors because one quit in the middle of class. By term 4 there was only 6ppl left from 30 or so ! Says a lot and ask how many currently students are in term 4 that will tell u so much so if they say oh we'll only this much a big number they lied."

"As part of the MSOT program during COVID-19, I unfortunately spent a majority of my time online, which has been a challenge for sure and can't replace in-person instruction. However, our in-person labs were very beneficial to gain hands-on experience. So many of our professors were willing to take our feedback and improve the program to make sure we can learn and succeed and become the best occupational therapists we can be! Not only that, but the Irvine campus in particular has study rooms that open late, student lounges and a big courtyard, plus it is in a great and convenient location next to the freeways and also lots of places to eat and hang out with classmates- especially with all of the group work we have to do. I've met such wonderful friends and staff while at the program and wouldn't change my experience for the world!"

"Great community! All the staff will do their best to help you succeed the way you do best. I appreciate the small class sizes and that all my professors are so passionate! I was overwhelmed coming back to school after two years off but Stanbrdige did an excellent job helping me transition back into the classroom."

"I stopped going to the school between a term because someone close to me passed. I was told I can reenroll and complete when I'm ready. I felt at ease and understood. After a little over a month I was told the policy changed and I have to be reevaluated by the Director and other parties if they think I should be able to reattend the school. I told them my reason for leaving and they denied me. I completed 3 out of 4 terms. I am 35k in debt. No degree. They care about your money only. They kept changing rules every month when I was there. Kept rehiring new instructors in the middle of terms. I'm traumatized."
