Daytona College Reviews

"I WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND THIS SCHOOL. When you first become interested everything is wonderful staff members are smiling and bubbly but as soon as you start 1st day everything changes. This school is completed self taught these teachers don't do anything but read off of a slide show and then make you take an exam the next day. You will be completely slammed every single day with tons of assignments and when you ask for help with understanding the material.. good luck. All they say is you are in an accelerated program what do you expect. I had no life outside of school I know school can become a lot but they make it 100x worse to the point you can't even balance work or family life just strictly school. The staff always says " use your resources" but all they do is give you a book and tell you to study at home and come prepared tmr for another exam on a whole different class. Financial Aid has been 0 help as well, you ask for some type of explanation and its " oh I'm not to sure of that information you have to call the company" The administration for the nursing program is horrible, no motivation and set their expectations so high like this is a 5 star school.. unfortunately its def not. Everything is outdated and falling apart you pay all this money for bare minimum teaching and minimal tools. For instance the stethoscope they provided was $6 on amazon. overall would never recommend !!!! This school is very bare minimum with little to no resources. Definitely take your time and look for a better alternative. If I could give 0 stars I wouldRead Less"

"The teachers are the bullies that you are warned about. Everything is about control rather than teaching. They change the rules on a regular basis, and make sure that the students have no idea what is going on. You are really better off going any where else."

"This has been the worst experience of schooling ever! They are very vague when explaining ANYTHING! They're riding the coattails of Daytona State(a real college) & will not correct you when you think they're a satellite location of Daytona State. Finical aid is pressured onto you. They start your classes without giving you your books, putting you behind before you even start. I recommend anyone interested in this school to RESEARCH before making a final judgment. They start classes every 5 weeks, but make you think "now or wait a year". Take your time & RESEARCH! Don't settle, this is your money & YOUR FUTURE!!!Read Less"

"I found that it was time to make a career change and I chose to go into massage therapy because I wanted to work in a more relaxed and calm environment. Thankfully I found Daytona College which had the program and setting I liked, and would fully prepare me for what I would be doing once I was finished in the classroom. The contract hours of instruction in a clinical practice were really wonderful. Working with the staff and learning hands on from professionals was a great experience for me to test the waters before I began my career. I saw that I really wanted to help people find a natural way to relax and relieve stress. I enjoy getting to know clients and having the chance to spend time helping them do something so beneficial for their overall health. It is really amazing that there was so much to learn, but I was able to get the knowledge I needed to make a career for myself.Read Less"

"I loved the atmosphere of the classes, and the teachers. Being in Florida wasn't half bad either! I didn't like the commercialized feel of the college. The administration seemed more focused on money than on students. Daytona College set me up for a great career in massage therapy. Now everyday I get to work my own hours, and make great money!"

"I was looking for a change in my life when I came across an advertisement for Daytona College. I was scared, but I decided to make a life change. Daytona College helped me to get a new lease on life. They taught me everything I needed to know about skin care. Because of my excellent training, I was able to secure a job within months of graduation. The class times are convenient and the teachers are great."
