Do Not attend this campus! I experienced discrimination on multiple occasions. When the matter was brought to the attention of the campus president, nothing was done at all. Your complaints will not be addressed or fixed at this school. There is also no representation of us in their staff besides the security guard and maybe two receptionists. Many of the staff/instructors are engaged in harmful gossip about the students. They have gossiped about a student in the classroom in front of other students. Very unprofessional. I must say that there were a few instructors who helped to make my experience at Mildred Elley a little better through their teaching and positive teacher-student relationship. My absolute favorite instructor was Mr.Murphy, Mr. Bubb, Ms. Vian, and Ms. Megan. Beside the racial issues, the program was disorganized. Almost every semester , instructors either left or were fired. They were always scrambling to find coverage. Many times, test questions would not correlate with the content in our text books so they'd always have to give back points. In most of the classes, instructors are just reading powerpoint slides instead of teaching. Lastly, after all that I've gone through in this school , I looked forward to finally graduating, more than anything. So, to find out that they were having our pinning ceremony in one of their dirty classrooms was a disappointment. I had family members coming from PA, NJ and NYC. Not to mention, there were 10 students in my graduating class, our tuition is over $25,000 each. So, the school is making a quarter-million dollars off of my class alone but they were too cheap to give us a proper pinning ceremony. Due to COVID, they ultimately canceled the ceremony. I do not recommend this school! GO TO BOCES OR MARIA OR ELSEWHERE

Complete Chaos there. Administration quits about every 2 to 3 weeks so new people have to come in. They don't inform the students of contact changes, like who our new Dean or advisors are. If you email them, chances are you wont get a reply. while doing the labs, the instructors had no clue what we are doing, the agenda for that day is. When they do notify us of changes, the notifications are to late. example, telling students while they are at work, that today is the last day you can get the newly required covid test for clinicals and wont respond to questions asked by the student.
