Vista College Reviews

"I've been at Vista College for the entire length of my program (18 months) and I am VERY disappointed with the overall experience. Once I obtain my Associates I never want to have anything to do with that place. I stayed because I have invested so much time and money towards the completion of a degree. For the first few months, I loved everything about the school, the class times, the sizes, staff etc. Then for whatever reason, professors that I used to have, started to leave. Only a few expressed their concerns with the changes that were made to the school during their tenure. Among the staff changes, came the very strict and outrageous attendance policy. NOTHING is excused!!!! If you are out for whatever reason, (hospitalization, death in family, emergency, illness etc.) you can and will have to "sit out" the next semester (5 weeks) and have to take that class when it comes around again. Not everyone in Killeen is retired military or spouse, or has the luxury of living with their parents. If you are a single parent or have a full-time job, this is NOT the place for you. Their online school isn't any better. You don't have the attendance problem, but the credits online and the credits "in house" aren't the same! How is it you can get a B.A. degree with Vista online, but those credits aren't worth anything at the actual campus? The school offers no help, no tutoring, nothing. In 18 months, I've seen three campus directors, three educational directors...none of who can explain why. The school makes constant mistakes and the students have to pay for it. On the last day of one of my classes, I had a C. When I came back to the campus on Monday, my grade was a D. The problem? The PROFESSOR made a mistake with the grading scale and the school made her change the grades, two points lower and I would've failed! But I didn't know that, I as far as I knew, I was doing ok that semester. No ONE EVER mentioned anything about being close to not passing. I could go on for days about how horrible this place is, just know, that the credits do not transfer to any local colleges!! ( except University of Phoenix, and they don't take all of them) If you are considering a Business Administration degree from Vista's Killeen Campus, please reconsider, but , if you have no family, no kids, no job, money to burn and a wish to be treated like your in High-School again, then contact admissions."
