"Fight for your life, brawls every night, false accusations of rape and cheating all what you get here. If your white your voice dont matter you will see favoritism only towards females. If your male keep looking I was at every hospital in the state defending myself because as a white male I was attacked almost daily. Underage drinking runs wild and whatever you say they will not listen to you."

"I am currently enrolled in the 3+3 physical therapy program at American International college. I am about to enter the graduate phase of my program. It has been challenging but very helpful and informative. I have learned so much in the three years that I have been here and can not wait to learn everything about physical therapy in the next three years. The campus is mostly safe although we are located in a bad area. Financial aid is mildly useful. They're not exactly helpful to students who "don't meet the requirements assessed by FAFSA" such as myself so I am often left to find aid elsewhere and to my own device. Parking is also interesting as a commuter and campus police is not very understanding about the limited number of parking spaces allotted for commuters. But the amazing program I am currently enrolled in makes it all worth while. I am very content with the degree I am pursuing and would strongly encourage other students to highly consider American International College for any health science degree, but especially a degree in Physical Therapy."

"Great for the busy professional! All classes are small and online, easy and intimate learning. Professors were great; offered support and quick to respond to emails and questions. Fast pace classes but doable while working full time. Looking forward to my career in nursing education."

"The graduate program at American International College (AIC) is terrific. I am in their extended campus program, meeting onc evening a week in a nearby town. I am a single mother of 2 girls and work 6 days a week, so I live a very busy life. The ability to access a graduate degree with face to face interaction verses on line, is ideal for me. I am much more of a people person than a computer person though I am becoming more adept with my computer skills through the classwork. The classes are a cohort program which enables us all to have relationships with our fellow students to both enrich the learning and support one another through the program. I appreciate the small class size and the realistic approach to achieving a masters degree while living a full and busy life. I am really enjoying the classes and find the content very interesting and helpful too my current position in education."

"The AOTA accredited program at AIC will prepare you for a career as an OT. The most beneficial aspects are the fieldwork opportunities made available in all courses. The schools biggest obstacle is its location as there are many shootings and robberies in close proximity to the school. Despite the $177,000 to earn this degree I know a life full of helping others will be well worth the price."

"If you are a military veteran, especially a minority male, then there will be certain professors that will not like you and find ways to fail you. I would NOT recommend this school, especially to any military veteran that is a male. Being a male student in a program that is predominantly made up of women one should be prepared to see favoritism. In other words, if your not a female you will be ignored and not be treated equally and, even worse, if you are a military veteran that is a minority your thoughts/opinion does not matter to them."

"I enjoyed my time at American International College. Professors there were approachable and intelligent. My classes were small, so I felt like my opinions and thoughts could be heard. I would recommend AIC to anyone who wants a quality education."

"This program is great for adults working in a school system. The program is held one night a week after school hours, and follows the same schedule as the public schools. Therefore there are breaks built into the program, i.e. winter and spring vacation, as well as summers off. AIC offers extended campus programs, so you may be able to study close to home."

"As a graduate student in American International College's extended campus program in Buzzard's Bay, MA, I am very satisfied with my graduate education thus far. I take all of my classes with a cohort of education students and I am able to learn a lot from both my peers (many of whom are educators) and my professors. The rigor of the program is competitive, but definitely doable. The workload is often heavy, but I have learned a great deal from each assignment that I have completed. The main drawback of this specific program is that it is difficult to communicate with administration when needed because we are not located on the main campus."

"While I enjoy the program and the professors, the buildings are old and out of date. They need to put some money in to revamping their campus and making it more of a high tech center for learning."

"American International College is a home, community and family for all the students. The small community is very nice because you have so many students and faculty that are willing to be each and every students cheerleader. The class sizes are small and individualized. Professors put the students needs first before and are always willing to help out any student who needs help. The health science classes and professors are superb. There is a lot of community involvement and clubs to join. Opportunities are endless while attending the school."

"This graduate program seems truly invested in their students, which I feel is a rare quality in the world of academia. Our program has some of the most enthusiastic faculty I have ever met on my educational journey and they are always a call or email away. Another pro to going to AIC for occupational therapy is being able to use the new health facility. We have some of the newest technologies to help us learn from equipment to practice dummies, which is helpful for a hands-on learner like myself. So far, as I am only a second semester graduate student, the only con to this program is its location. Springfield is not the safest place and it has also required that I move away from my family. However, I really want to become an OT so if those are my only cons, I feel I am doing pretty well."
