Mildred Elley Reviews

I am attending Mildred Elley and I have had a wonderful experience so far. The professors are easy to work with and the staff are very friendly and helpful. They are also good at what they do.

I am in the NYC campus my campus is not that bad but the online class i took for nutrition which had a professor from albany i wont mention her name but shes the worst person to deal with i was working so good in all my weeks did best like 98 and 100s in home work and quiz on connect but she gave me " 0 " for essay which gave me from A to C-..i had to repeat the class paying out of pocket . They need to change there staffing.. 0000000 stars .
Worse school never ever join there.

I would give no stars if I could. Like others have said, nothing but problems and waste of money. I wrote a review once then took it down after being called in to talk with the Dean. Foolish me for thinking things would change. First off, overpriced for the education that you will get, very unqualified and unprofessional staff. If you want class to start on time with a instructor ready to teach, good luck. 90% of the time they show up late or at the exact time class starts, then they need 10-15min to get ready, what a joke. If you want to go to a horrible LPN program then yes please come here. Very unprepared and overvalued, the lab room is never stocked with needed supplies, the classes consist of looking at PowerPoint slides of the text book, no actual teaching is involved. With that said, you have to hope and pray you can get your books. I started back on the 23rd and no books, they weren't in yet. So now going into week 2, no books and playing catch up, and that's if my books come in this coming week. How does this even happen, books should be in Stock before classes even end, unless you are changing books, then even then better planning should be done. Now for clinical's, that's a joke, you pay Mildred elley for LPN clinical's, but only get CNA training... on the plus side, some staff and departmentsee are good and care. Registrar office and financial aid have been on point and very helpful, along with some secretarial staff. With out naming names, 1 out of every 20 instructors they have are actually good and can really teach, the others are just laughable. If you have problems, you are told to go to you department Chair, that's a joke as well. First you gotta hope they are in when they say they are. Even then it's a waste, all you will get accomplished is wasting your breath talking to a very rude and unprofessional person.. so to sum up this rant..... do not waste your time, money, energy, or life coming here unless you like wasting money. I wouldn't even send my worst enemy here.. I go to Albany NY campus

i'm a 50 year old business student Mildred Elley i like the school very much and recommend it to anyone that is interested in going back to school.

I like that online and on campus classes are available to the students at Mildred Elley College. This gives students a realistic view of the work force. Work may be done in the office and online. However, some classes should be on campus classes only. Last module I have taken Business Law online. There is a lot of detail in the course work for this class. Some of the legal terms were difficult to understand. I was able to seek help through tutoring and I passed the class with an A-. I believe if Business Law was an on campus class I would have had a much better understanding of the course work.

Worst mistake I've ever made going there. Majority of the teachers are incompetent and aren't even educated in what they teach. Very expensive for the nursing program. Whenever I asked for help, I would not get it. Any time I had a complaint I wouldn't get an answer. Now I'm trying to go to a different school and the only way I can get my transcript is by paying off any fees I owe them. This school is a huge scam, waste of money and time. Don't bother going here. Wish this school would close down or have better people working there.

I had a great experience attending Mildred Elley. I found the course work challenging but the instructors and support staff knowledgeable and very helpful.

Love tge classies thinking about restarting class soon

Going to Mildred Elley had been a very rewarding experience. I have had only excellent teachers who are truly there for you & want to see you succeed. I have made good friends & although there is a lot of work & studying involved there is also fun to be had at Mildred Elley.

Good professors and staff. Programs are ok. I don't believe the education received is worth that high of a price tag.

I've found the people at Mildred Elley School to be of the highest level of integrity! I highly recommend Mildred Elley School to anyone looking for a great education that can change their lives!

This school is a complete waste of time and money, your "education" will get you nowhere considering the amount of money you will pay to attend here. Your credits are virtually useless because they fail to voice that this is not a REGIONALLY accredited school. Is it NATIONALLY accredited, IF THAT! it means nothing if you plan of furthering your career in the future! do your RESEARCH. do not make the mistake I did. it is completely unorganized, and the staff for the most part is disrespectful and rude.(some of my professors were great people) remember this is a FOR PROFIT school. they DO NOT care how they get their money out of you, nor do they care about the quality of education served to you. best of luck on your future endeavors at a REAL SCHOOL.

I attended the New York City campus located at 25 Broadway. My experience at Mildred Elley was a pleasurable one. I had the opportunity of meeting some real knowledgeable professors and other faculty staff. Mr. Farrington, Mrs. Angella, just to name a few. From the start everyone was involved making the transaction a smooth one. Financial Aide staff were awesome! Very polite, open and knowledgeable. Classroom settings were comfortable, where everyone could get help and attention from the professor.

For clinicals, we had some of the very best clinical professors who made sure we grasp as much information as possible. They took the time to explain procedures and challenged us along the way.

To prepare us for NCLEX, we were provided with books which were paid for through financial aide; ATI first then we switched to Kaplan. Free classes were provided for anyone interested. I was wonderful! I appreciated everything.

Career Services helped us to prepare resumes, cover letters, and prep for interviews! They help us with job search and placements also. Even though I didn't get a job through them, they helped others who were placed.

Like ever school there are ups and downs, nothing serious. But if you have a goal and set the standards and your priorities right you will definitely make it. Read ahead of class by following your syllabus and study hard! I really wish they did the RN program, I'd definitely be in the front! I passed my NCLEX on the first attempt with 75 questions! Thanks Mildred Elley! Graduated June 2012!

If I could give a negative star rating I would. If you plan on going back to school to further your education don't waste your time with this joke. They are "Nationally accredited" MAYBE and NOT " Regionally accredited" that most legitimate colleges need to transfer any credits. Don't waste your money. Go to a real school. I essentially was told "too bad" when it comes to getting my Bachelor's Degree because nothing I did through this place is useable for transfer.

I love going to thus college. Class sizes are small. Lots of help from instructors, other classmates and staff. Very rewarding to be known by name!

The school was very expensive and I owe a lot of loans which did help me while working part time in school. Overall the school was ok despite professors getting fired or leaving. The school made and exception for my child to come to class some days when I had no baby sitter. I received my medical assistant degree and found one of the highest paying jobs in Albany. Tyler who helped me with my resume and interview skills is great he helps to find jobs.

I attended Mildred Elley from 2001-2003 and got my medical assistant degree. Overall, my experience at the school was pretty good.

The problem was that I was saddled with a huge student loan debt. Then, come to find out many years later, that I could not sit for either the certified medical assistant exam or the registered medical assistant exam for whatever reason. And even if I could, 90% of what would have been on the exam was never covered in the courses. This has limited my employability.

I had gotten in touch with them a few years back enquiring about their LPN course and was told that I still owed them money. That is not possible as 100% of my $13,000 tuition was covered by loans & PELL. Plus, you can't graduate if you owe money. I never received a billing statement saying that I did owe anything nor have I received anything since.

If I had known then what I know now, I would have made a different choice. Definitely not worth the $13,000 tuition.

**Addendum: I was contacted by Mildred Elley today to follow up on my review. They are working hard at changing their image and to become more accommodating to past and current students.

I love the support we are getting , while embarking on our nursing degree.
