Apollo College Reviews

Flag Review - Rating:
- I went to Carrington a year ago when it was formerly known as Apollo. First month went very smoothly. Soon after, our class quickly become aware that our current teacher was very incompetent, unable to answer questions clearly asked by the students and very unorganized with her curriculum. Lab was nice however, very small for our class size. Not only small, but something always seemed to have a glitch. As a whole, we were "miss informed" about numerous things involving our education which seemed to happen on a daily basis by the Director and Dean of the school. All in all, I would not re do my experience with this school at the price I paid. I do not believe they had the students best interest in mind but rather $$$.
