To Whom It May Concern:
This is very unfortunate and terribly sad. At first I was told by my admissions representative that this school will benefit me to get into medical school. Yes, I know what a joke? Who knew that it was too good to be true?!?! No offense to anyone who works for this school or a similar school but "faculty", you aren't helping us students to learn; you just want our money so that you can get paid or get a bonus. That is wrong-thinking. If you are here to help, then help us find a clinic or actually teach us. We aren't asking you to place us into a clinic but you can help, right? Also, if SBI cares so much about us, how? By making sure, we are paying our funds for non-educational classes.
The classes are pathetic. The representatives, the teachers, and the career advisors said that going to SBI would have adequate hands-on classes. How do you expect us to be a phlebotomist, EKG tech, or a pharmacist tech if we can only understand these courses within 5 weeks? We can't because it isn't enough. We need to take more classes and more time. Well it definitely isn't enough time to be a med asst either.
Also, some teachers aren't qualified to teach these courses and that's a shame. Human Relations & Medical Office Applications are easy classes. You don't need to waste our time and your time to teach those classes for 5 weeks. All you need is one test and call it a day. The tests are either open-book or "take home handouts". From home, I have to bring in extra material to keep myself busy. Well if I would have known ahead that this school is based on an independent study - I would have never sacrifice 13,000 for a B.S. School and moved up to Jersey for this school.
Also, teachers emphasize "no plagiarizing" or else they will fail you or give you an F on the test. That's funny. I am a very good student at SBI and I see students cheat all the time in front of me.
I was also told that I was going to get paid $17-25 per hr. Ha! Most med assts that graduated; couldn't get a med asst job b/c of no experience or the pay is lower than their previous jobs like $9/10 per hr. Why would you lure students to enter this school? What kind of a school is this?
Everytime the night classes get combined at night. There is always animosity and hatred towards the classes. If you know that the classes won't like each other, why do you wait till the middle of the year to combine them? My class had this problem. There are actual fights at this school, too. Scary! A lot of students are still immature, gossiping, and have their own crowds. How old are we? Does this school just invite anyone in? Seriously at least have some class.
New students start every 5 weeks, not every 3 months.
I also got pulled into an incidence. Unbelieveable, without knowing the whole story, everyone just pointed the finger at my friend and I. A professional president/dean/principal would have listened to both sides and realize what's exactly going on before pointing the finger.
Do you know how many times I went to the teachers and the faculty staff asking for more work to keep myself busy? Did anything change? No. Do you know how many times people in my class think this school is B.S. And doesn't care about the students? More than the states & each of their capitals in the US.
Oh, one last thing, night classes you don't finish in 11 months. You finish in 12 months and sometimes 1 yr & 1 month. Don't believe everything that they say.
The school makes over millions of dollars each year and gets sued but still chooses not to change. For my certain circumstances about this school, SBI should give me back my money and let me go to a different school.
Please all students that want to get a quicker education, go to a county college or even a state college. Look at this way. At least you are learning something or you won't feel inexperienced in the working field or feel that you got gipped by a $13,000 school. Also, 13,000 that keeps everything in their pocket and doesn't purchase office equipment or computer applications for the students. This school should be closed.
