Platt College Alhambra

I’ve been expanding my education for many years and this is by far the worst facility I’ve ever attended. I put a lot of the blame on enrollment and it seems that they are very deceptive. If you do take the plunge, read all the fine print and don’t trust what the enrollment employees have to say.

I highly do not recommend this school for respiratory therapy. I attended the school about 2 years ago. I didn't retain anything. Everything had to be learned on my own. General classes, the teachers were bad. They just passed us to pass us. I suggest going to a community College. It will be cheaper and a bit longer but you will definitely get your money's worth!

I visited because I was interested in their LVN program. I just came to ask a few questions, but I was ushered from room to room and immediately pressured to enroll (and they even interviewed me? For a For-Profit school?) This company (I’m not even sure if it counts as a school because nothing about it seems academic) feels EXTREMELY predatory. I asked for them to evaluate my transcripts to see if credits transferred, see how much financial aid would cover, etc. I was given none of this information until I signed an entire stack of enrollment papers. They didn’t even give me a clear answer on what their class schedule was and classes start in 2 weeks. My gut was telling me something was off, because every person I talked to felt like a car salesmen. After some extensive googling (there are hardly enough reviews of this place) I discovered tons of people who complained about how they run their school and how expensive it is for little return. ALSO. They are nationally accredited, NOT regionally accredited. Regional accreditation counts for ALOT more then national. So getting an Associates or Bachelor’s from them means Jack Sh!t.
