- Terrible school. They have no interest in you once you graduate and they have been paid their money. It took me 2 years to get an externship, the site was terrible. Abusive techs, made no effort to teach me a single thing. Didn't even bother to offer me a job and the school helps you find a job for about 2 months after then they completely forget about you and your existence, especially once after your externship is finished. Complained about the techs at my site to the school and nothing was done. I was basically free help for them and was carted around to do all the dirty work while I learned not one single thing. Four years later I'm without a job for my RMA and I haven't even bothered to go for the ultrasound part because while on site THEIR techs told me not to bother if you are not ARDMS certified no job will even give you a thought. Eastwick College sure doesn't take the time to tell you all the hidden fees and costs of extra tests when you sign on the dotted line and sign your money away as well. Same is true for my boyfriend who graduated from their Medical Billing and Coding program he still is without a job 3 years later. Even when I was signing up I was told we would be scanning pregnant women and this all took place from 2007 to 2009. do yourself a favor and RUN from this horrible school. Now I'm left with all these student loans no job and a school that hasn't a care to try and even help me find a job anymore.

- My experience was so bad that I filed a complaint with the BBB. It was quick and easy. It will hopefully lead to changes in their business practices.

- Please everyone save your money and do not attend this school!! The teachers don't teach they just read from the book which my 12 year old brother can do. The staff is rude, unprofessional and most of all they don't care about you just the money. Don't be fooled they seem nice when you come in but once you sign they change into these horrible people. I'm in the LPN program and the only good thing is Mrs. Kishkill she is the best teacher ever. This school should get a 0!!!!

- This school is horrible they have teachers who are not qualified to teach. Yes they are nurses, but oh well they still don't know or have any idea on how to teach... All of them starting by the director of nursing they don't want to help students, you go up to them and they don't care, they are always on a rush to leave... Number two these people expect too much from a student! They expect you to know a lot, but how would you know what they didn't teach...If you get into this school you will regret it...

- I have just graduated from these schools Medical Billing and Coding program and I would honestly never recommend it to anyone. I have a 3.8 GPA and did well in the program but am not confident I can get a job and start to work as a biller and coder efficiently. There were a few good classes but the core classes were taught but an incompetent podiatrist who is obviously not a people person and does not have patients nor the desire to really educate his students. (Thank God for the new enrollees, he has been fired). Administration is horrible! I have never heard of all students getting graduation information (which requests that you send in your guest money) even if they are not graduating. This only creates endless confusion and heart break for those students who were told they cannot graduate and then think that something changed because they got this letter. Now the schools staff will have to waste time sending back all the money that the non graduated have sent in. There was an issue on their part that almost cost my graduation but I would have never known if I hadn't called them to confirm that my ticket money arrived!! Mind you this is 7 yes, SEVEN days before the graduation and school has been over for 6 weeks!! I will say this, Most of the people are nice and personable but that is the only thing you will get from them. Follow through is dismal and general efficiency is very low. I would not have wasted the money if I had someone tell me this beforehand. …..oh yea and one more thing, as a job searching graduate I have learned that employers want you to have an associate in the field. Once I found this out I went back to the school to find out if I could transfer my credits so that I can get the Associates and they had never heard of the fact that a degree in the field is available! their mission statement says " Our curricula are constantly re-evaluated to assure they meet the changing needs of employers." (this was just proven NOT true) Yes, they offer a certificate but I would think that as a “good” school they should know what other schools offer and then step it up!
attending this school was like going in to a marriage with high hopes and then getting a divorce and feeling finally free of the burden while at the same time not getting alimony.
