Complaint / Review
Everest College
Bad school

Hello all, I would like to inform you that Everest College may not be a great choice for you. I went there for about 2 months and already there has been big problems.

For one, don't expect "On-hands" training unless your looking to be in the medical division. The school in Fort Worth only gives the hands-on to the medical students and no one else. The way they avoid false advertisement is by giving optional trips to the other divisions in the school on their own time, not yours. So if you have work on Friday and no classes, it will be hard to go on that Friday trip. And no, it isn't once a week, more like once a month.

Another is that Everest helps you look for a job. This is also somewhat false. Unless, again, your in the medical division your kinda on your own. They do have a board with a list of websites on it, but that is you doing all the work and the only help they gave you was a list of random sites. They do lets students help around the school, the only problem is that I have yet to see another student working here and when I asked they said I have to have been in roll for 6 weeks.

The teachers are the only great thing about the school. They do help you and they are there with you. I have noticed that the school has not been informing the teachers of anything besides their job, so asking the teacher why this is that they cannot give you an answer. The online teachers, from what I heard from a lot of students, don't reply to your emails and if they do it takes about 2 days or so. They don't work with you and give you more work online then on the school grounds. If you have not taken a online class yet, beware because they will not wait up on you to get use to it.

The student id's are... Well, kinda useless. It has your picture, name, Everest College, and when you finish your course on it. Not student number or anything important. Oh and it also has what major you are in. How do they get them/make them? By printing paper and laminating it. The problem with that is that you will not get any Student discount with those id's because they are too easily made and do not look very Governmental. Wanting that laptop with student discount? Nope. Needing anything for school on discount, nope.

Everest College seems like they are some evil place that just wants your money. They have loans, which is good if you cannot pay on the spot. The sad thing is, the whole "You don't have to pay the loans until your done with school" is a lie. You see, if you have rich parents that are willing to pay your loans while your at school, then it is the truth. When your an adult with parents that don't want to take care of you anymore, then it is a lie. You see, what they do is that they reduce the amount you have to pay by month on your loans (it is split so the interest is insane) while your at school. You can either pay them yourself or have someone else do it. This month payment can be 25 dollars to, as far as I know, 50 dollars. Yeah it isn't very much to pay per month. If you miss the due date they add 50 extra dollars (I do not believe it goes into your loan payment, just that one day you missed). Also when your kinda jobless with the school only giving help to the Medical students, it kinda kills you.

The school have parties. Yes they have those things you think is awesome. For all the students, they have to do it small like stand right next to the back door (the student door) of the building to give them the "small" treat. The medical students (that is where they are getting the big money from) have real parties with real food. Only medical though.

The school does have a library, but it is very small. There are only 4 bookcases (not full of course) and those are the same books for the past 5 years. The librarian, the one that watches over the library, believes it is her duty to play music like rap and the like while in her office. If you need help, good luck because she only stays in there for 30 or so minutes before leaving to do something else for an hour or so.

The dean in this school is different. She doesn't really answer any of my or other students questions without her infamous "Uh-huh" and "That is a good question." Not even an answer. Also she just made it where the teachers cannot release the students when they finish taking the midterms or finals. So the rest of the class hours is just sitting and talking. Yay.

As I said before, this school wants money. They have done a few scams that has forced the students to pay up. Like the school uniform. It looks like one of those cheaply made golf shirts and you have to buy it in the school bookstore. Reason, they want the word Everest on it. So the shirts I am guessing is worth 6-10 dollars because they were cheaply made golf shirts. Well because that Everest word is on the shirt the price is 52 dollars for two shirts. They said we have to get them and wear them for now on. 4 weeks later, it was dis-ban as the school uniform. Also at the bookstore, when you first join, they "offer" you a flash drive, rolling back pack, and some other stuff. They say "Everest would like you to have/use this for your classes" and charges it to your "Everest dept account." Later on, if you don't catch it on the spot, find out that "Hey, they charged this to me?! If I knew that I would never have gotten it." The return policy is for the books and shirts (unused).

So there you have it. The only great thing about this school is the teachers. It isn't even worth it though. Also your credits will not be counted with any other schools. I only heard of two schools (which are also unheard of to me) that would accept a few credits.
