Carrington College Rankings by Salary Score

This school is a joke. Especially the Portland, Or. campus. They talk a good game to get you enrolled and then show their true colors after the fact. To parents who have younger adults enrolling... go with your children, read the fine print, and record conversations if possible. These people told may lies and tried to force me to pull student loans when I told them I was not interested and had another way that I would pay for my tuition. The person who enrolled never told me about the add drop period and when... Read More I decided to leave two weeks into my program, I was told that I would still be charged for the books, iPad, and two uniforms even though I never wore them. I was told to bring the uniform back to the school if it did not fit, but they could not take the uniforms back because I had removed the plastic from one of them to try on at home like I was told to do even though it was never worn to the school or anywhere else because of Covid-19. After I filed a BBB complaint, the tuition due for the time I spent with Carrington College was erased as a “customer service gesture,” but the school still hit me with a bill of $2,474 for the given supplies because the books and iPad were opened. They were so salty that I’d decided to further my education elsewhere that they were going to stick me with a bill regardless. I don’t know about any of the other campuses, but the one in Portland, OR. is not it.

This college has been nothing but disorganized and confusing. They scheduled our only real break for a week in July, having this schedule I planned a vacation for that time slot. Almost a year after getting our schedules, my class found out that Carrington had scheduled our vacation time at the same time as the board exams that we are required to take and if we missed this time we would have to wait until december to take it again (this is two months after scheduled graduation). When I have tried getting more... Read More info on the board exams the teachers do not have any answers, We students have had to figure out almost the entire process on our own. I do not recommend this school to anyone and will strongly advise to find any other program. For $60,000, you would think that you would be getting a quality education that is well thought out, planned, and with the resources needed to succeed. However, I found only the opposite of that to be true. The teacher turn-over rate has been insane and we have had different teachers each term, which has changed our semester schedules and cut all of our clinical hours in half due to the lack of staff. The teachers have been nice, however, Carrington overall has been an absolute disaster.
