False Advertisement to the fullest

I went to Branford Hall Campus in Amityville to compare the school to hunters i was going to originally attend. Before i knew it i was pressured into signing payment plans and told i was starting the next day. Soraya gives you her number and acts like shes on your side, once you sign up and im sure her commission is paid, she then ignores you like dirt. I was indecisive on wether or not i should stay but i finally did my homework on the school almost a month later smh and im pissed to see what im reading, and even more so that it is true because i witnessed it. I decided i will not be attending back! I attended 3 modules and in the process i heard so many students complain about how they were in their 7th mod, on their way to externship with no location, they have yet to even receive their 6th mod completion certificate. They tell you, you have 6 months after you graduate until you have to pay anything back, with 10 years to pay everything back total; and it will not show on your credit until you leave. THAT WAS A LIE! My second day of classes they were asking me for 50$ and i could'nt understand why i was even paying anything because i am low income and my parents do not work and i received a grant plus financial aid. Which should cover EVERYTHING .. Tuition is only 12,000 moral of the story i shoulve listened to my friend when she left and said it was a scam, because SHE WAS RIGHT! They do not care about you they want your money.

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Alright, so... basically i was forced into signing a whole lot of paperwork, right? anyways, that's just the beginning. Also, on a side note, i just recently moved into the location and i achieved a great job that will provide me with great possibilities of pursuing my dream by reimbursing me. ANYWAYS, i am sitting here, in a "make up" class because i apparently missed days? i am unbelievably confused on what the heck is actually happening here. why am i in this "make up" arrangement? i feel like they're basically in to get you money, to be perfectly honest. everyone seems oblivious as to what is actually going on here. can i just leave now and not have to pay tuition?

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Finished classes in Dec.16th 2016, I was supposed to go on externship the following week. Three weeks later and I am in a limbo. I have not been placed anywhere and I've have been stalked and lied to multiple times. The externship coordinator was not doing her job and ended up resigning a week after Christmas 2016. The individuals in charge of this school are incompetent and all they care about is getting paid. Do not attend the North Brunswick school!!!

Computer Network management

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
So I went to and through the Computer Network Management course in Southington, CT and had a 4.0 GPA through the whole ordeal. Two of my three "teachers" were ok - though I taught myself more than they taught me. One of the teachers, though. He sat at the head of the class and read from a book. Nothing else. When I made a complaint to the head of that location, I was told that they would look into it, including a visit to the classroom. None of that ever materialized. I worked as a student employee in the Financial Aid department, working closely with the director for that location - two of them in fact. I explained the situation to them, and they agreed that I was being cheated of my education. Fast forward to my externship period, where I had to find my own site - since the placement office did nothing, and upon actually finishing, the only help they would offer me was finding jobs on the other side of the state - they wouldn't even look in my area. NO matter how many times I explained that my vehicle was not suitable for long commutes. Considering that I was gypped out of a full third of my education there, not to mention the fact that their career development department wouldn't help students at all, I don't think that I owe the school anything. Further considering that not only did they break contract with me once by not providing the education that they promised, not only did they break contract twice by not helping me to find a reasonable position close enough to my location to be feasible, but third, they broke contract by trying to apply fees to my account. They then tried to sell my debt to a company that is well known for harassing people. This has to be the worst of the for profit schools that I have ever encountered, and I sincerely suggest that no one ever go there again. Make the company go bankrupt. They can't teach, they can't place, and apparently, they can't read their own legal agreements.

Do not go to this school!

I went for a interview at Branford hall Bohemia on a Friday afternoon, the interview lasted about 3 hours and before I knew it they were handing me a schedule and said to me congratulations you start on Monday! I was completely taken back and confused. What kind of school interviews you and has u start 3 days later. I had no chance to think about what I wa t to do or even research other places. So of course I felt like I was put in the spot and obligated to enroll. So even though I was uncomfortable with the situation cuz I had 3 recruiters just staring at me, I said yes ok I will start Monday. I lasted a week before I resigned. The class was conducted very unprofessionally and the students acted like a bunch of 5 the graders as well as forming"cliques" where u were not aloud to talk to them unless they said ok. Now that I resigned hey are jumping down my throat trying to get me back. They are a for-profit school and they only care about making money not about your education, almost all of the graduates were promised jobs at the commensment of their studies and extension only about 20% got jobs in their field and the rest are on the hook for 20k that they can't pay at the moment. My advice is DO NOT GO HERE. They are only out for themselves getting your money and if u do go and don't like it, make sure u drop out within that first week otherwise u will have to pay the entire tuition!!!!

You are right, I am studying massage therapy right now and is a total disaster. Teachers don't teach, very poor organization, I have to watch videos old the time, I have to teach myself is like everybody is lazy head, teachers, students who come just to chat and they don't realize we will have to pay back for our tuition and we are not getting any education.

Do not waits your time or money going here. I was enrolled by soraya who doesn't care about you after she signs you up.

She lied about the pay rates and student loans as well. I am waiting for my diploma since January and have called to speak to ms. Nieves and ms. Ramos 1000x and they either do not pick up and give me a run around.

Stacy didn't help with my job but she will eat in your face or smoke and cough in your face.

They are all horrible and a *** load of lies. Do not waist your money!!!

Branford hall cant take a hint i tried to leave this on their facebook but it had to be reviewed first so yea...

be careful if they get you number somehow through a website or however.....bc if you are not interested they will call you 3x a day everyday! I don't answer numbers I don't know but after a month of torture I called one of the 2 numbers back that they have been using to call me only to hear 'hello Branford hall'! so I tried the other number that has been harassing me being that it was only 1 digit off to my dismay the person on the other line again said "hello Branford hall". I blocked both numbers both of which never left a voice mail just filled my inbox with silence! I never asked to be called I take back what I said about a month its been 2 months! 2 Months of phone calls on my cell phone 3 times a day leaving empty voicemails 3 times a day ...! If someone doesn't answer the phone to you, you should probably take a hint an stop calling not call more! it seems a little desperate on your end why do you need students so bad that you are paying someone to harass people who don't answer the phone ? if I wanted to go to your school I would have answered the phone the first time you called not that u left a voice mail! or better yet I would have called you......please leave me alone Branford Hall you have become like a stalker ex boyfriend or something! instead of paying someone to call people 3x a day for 2 months use the money for something good like lower someone's tuition who needs the help or something! in case this is not clear enough bc god knows you can not take a hint stop calling me I am obviously not interested!
