Motlow state community college Reviews

I have been going to Motlow for sometime . Motlow is an all around good school with fairly ok teachers but the people at the admissions and records desk are absolutely hateful and do not deserve a job helping people . They're suppose to be there for students and help them with their needs . That is their specific job . They talk to hateful to the students and do nothing to help them they do not take any time to even consider the people who are going there who may need help with something . They make ugly remarks to the students and talk terribly about you right to your face . Knowing they are able to help the students they choose to purposely ignore them or tell them false information . They send you around to many different people that work there and none are willing to even try for their students . Whoever hires the office people really need to look into how they're treating those people who are going there to further their education . They deserve to be fired . As well as the cafeteria . They smoke in the kitchen while kids are eating in the cafeteria and it smells the whole lunch room up . Not to mention they do not wash their hands while they're hiding in the kitchen smoking and when they come out they touch the students food and cook them . The staff who are not teachers there really need to be further investigated because this is unacceptable from all members of their team . I'm ashamed I even attended this school and graduated not to mention they would not allow me to walk because they failed to send out any emails to me of deadlines for that semester and when I went to go discuss it to them they said it was "doubtful" they could help me they did not even have enough caps and gowns for all the students who wanted to graduate and said they already had to many ceremonies to do because there was too many people graduating . I'm highly disrespected and glad they are able to even just give me my diploma since their students are "too much of a burden" when it is their job to help .

My time at Motlow was one I would rather forget. Advisors are supposed to help you with your academic problems and try to put you on the right path, that was not the case with me. I was only given 50% of the right information, which put me in trouble with my earned/attempted hours, now I am having constant trouble with financial aid. That was just the beginning.

The next issue was the nursing program. I have been a flight medic in the military, an EMT for twelve years and finished all of my pre-recs, even the sciences with As and Bs. All I had to do was take the six core nursing classes and still could not get into the program. I had a good enough GPA(3.2) to get in and a high enough score on the HESI. But I guess with all that experience, high enough scores, and completion of EVERYTHING, they didn't deem me fit to be part of their program three times. Here is the part that I don't get, my friend, who got in with no problem, was a construction worker with no experience and a 4.0 GPA. There is a major problem with the way they pick people. They need to find a better way of doing things, it is ridiculous. I was told by many nursing students that if they had it to do over again, they would go somewhere else. I guess I made the right decision by going somewhere else and got accepted into a great nursing program after one attempt.

The straw that broke the camels back was, when again, I was told the wrong the wrong information, this time by the financial aid office. First of all I was told I would be contacted by a rep and never was. After a couple days later, I had to call them back. I needed some very important paperwork and was told it was available to receive. After being on the road for hours, coming back from vacation, we went out of our way by at least 30-40 miles to the main campus to pick up the paperwork only to be told they didn't and could not obtain it. I was given the excuse "after so many years, it gets archived" and destroyed. Well to the best of my knowledge, ARCHIVED means it's ARCHIVED. They might not have it there, but it's ARCHIVED somewhere, RIGHT. Archived and destroyed are two different things. That type of incompetence led me to write this.

My experience was worth at least one star... I guess. If you decide to go to this school, I wish you luck and hope you hav9e
a better experience.

I am very disappointed in the Smyrna Campus staff. I had a Admissions and Records office employee tell me that Motlow was now offering Fall graduation starting in Fall of 2019. So, what did I do.....I did not sign up for graduation this spring. I turned in my intent to graduate in the Fall 2019. I just got a call from the school to say that there is no graduation set for the Fall 2019....they were hoping it would happen but it will not...but the thing that really irritated me was the fact that she ask me did I understand......Yes, I understand that your staff people should not share with students falsehoods. Here, I am a Reconnect student who was looking forward to graduation that will not happen. THANKS Admissions and Records Clerk !!!!
