Carrington College Reviews of Associates in Veterinary Technician

"DO NOT ATTEND, PLEASE LOOK AT THE REVIEWS, they’ll have you paying and in debt NOT WORTH IT Some instructors are rude and make you feel less confident, or at least in my experince, there’s a lot of gossip, fights and this school does not professionally deal with them, they can throw you out for not passing and have you in debt I’m currently in debt for 5,000 with 7.5 interest rate, when I dropped out of carrington for it’s toxicity environment. I APPROVED FOR FINACIAL AID, and no one tells you this, that it WILL NOT HELP you pay your debt, even if qualified (according to Carrington). Not worth your money and time"

"It was so stupid, I wanted to go to this college but since I live in Oregon they only had vet assistant. the vet tech school was in Cali and with Cali being very expensive to get a apartment they sadly didn't have dorms. I asked the Portland campus why they didn't have vet tech and it was because no one wanted to do that program. they also told me I needed to start with vet assistant first then join into vet tech which I thought was weird because I have a friend who was already a vet tech without being a vet assistant first. It felt kind of suspicious to be telling me I needed to be a vet assistant first then a vet tech when you can be either or."

"Well the reviews were definitely right this school is an absolute disaster! Administration and financial lie to you and don't give you all the details you need, the teachers are incompetent and aren't even correctly hired for the position. I was there for a week and didn't receive any help even when I asked for it, when I did decide to drop the class none of my calls were answered. I threatened to get my lawyer involved if I wasn't given an answer and then magically I was given answers right away and the attitude from the staff was unnecessary and uncalled for, they give you the run around and procrastinate! Do your research before you decide to go here, it is unreliable and unprofessional. DO NOT attend this college, it's a joke!"

"Do not attend this college.....They want you to fail and repeat the 1/4 so more money on your part. Class was so stressful at times a few students had anxiety attacks....no degree and time wasted....failed last quarter and asked to repeat the course...Another class was not available for 8 months!!!!!!! Do not waste your time.. Go to another college where you will get a degree...."

"Run as far away from this school as possible. The program has gone so down hill since I started and it's only getting worse. They have a program director at my campus that would rather make fun of her students and make them feel bad about themselves then teach them. She's so bad only 3 instructors have stayed, while everyone else quit. She hired this kids that are fresh from school to be instructors without any previous teaching experience or education in teaching. I've noticed every one of her little minions she has recently hired are just getting more and more rude to the classes. Probably trying to prove themselves by failing all the students. Multiple students including myself have gone to the higher ups to complain and was then threatened to be kicked out of the program by the program director when she found out about the complaints. It's gotten so bad I vomit almost daily just having to deal with her harassment. They have not taught me anything new about vet tech since term 1 and honestly I'm not surprised since no one knows what they are doing. Save your mental health and go literally anywhere else but Carrington college esp the southern California campus."
