1 Review Submitted For Paradise Valley Community College
  • Reviewed on: February 16, 2010 Flag Review
  • Rating:
  • Every basic, pre-requsite, class that is offered on campus is, with out question, great. The instructors are good and knowledgeable as well as very flexible with learning and teaching styles. The Nursing program, however, is absolute garbage. From day one it will be you against them. I recommend a transfer to another community college for the program, even if it means another semester wait. Thats free advice!
