Does not offer as many classes as the website says, most of the classes seem to be early in the morning, the entire school is in a dead zone (no cell service, wifi occasionally works). Good as a last resort or if you want to get a few credits to transfer to a better college. School counselors don't seem to understand how the school works, and will try to put you in classes that don't transfer or are in the wrong program. School will try to take your money in any way they can, by not letting you cancel your classes, not informing you of deadlines, etc. Cafeteria is simply awful and overpriced. I feel bad for all the good hardworking teachers who work here.
Most the people that have graduated from here did not get the job or the income they were seeking. Their recruiting efforts are unethical due to dishonest statistical representation of student income after graduation and job placement. I am not dicouraging education, but I definitely don't respect institutions that fudge the numbers in order to recruit students.
I had an issue with the school, which feels like an easy thing to fix and an easy problem to understand, but it took forever to fix the problem and they made it so complicated. I had left a one star review earlier, but two days later, they fixed it for me, so now 4 stars.
Madison college: 4 stars Madison college's Nursing program: 0 stars My overall college experience before the nursing program was somewhat positive - teachers are engaging, knowledgeable and really go above and beyond. Dealing with the administrative side of things however, is a complete nightmare of being sent in circles with every person you talk to just as clueless as the last. Their website really isn't much better than the administrative staff - really a lot to be desired. My college experience on the nursing side of things (which is "completely separate from the rest of Madison college") has been a hell ride since day one. All their experienced teachers are retiring (once Michael Redding is gone, the place will fall apart), and they're being replaced with incompetent instructors who couldn't get a job as a nurse so now they just attempt teaching it. It's cut-throat for the students while teachers can fail you for whatever they please - for example missing a day to go to urgent care and presenting a doctor's note while the teacher missed a whole week, or emailing instead of calling about said absence when the teacher used the same method of contact in their week of absence. In fact I've heard of students failing because they got COVID, were told to stay home and then subsequently failed (Despite having an online option that everyone used at the start of the pandemic). Oh and the administrative side? There isn't one. Sonja Noble is great, but overloaded taking care of essentially all the nursing students' questions and advising needs. Otherwise, the whole operation is a "good old boy's club" that you cant contest anything with because it will get you nowhere fast. My advice: if you're going to Madison College for anything besides nursing - go for it, it's an affordable way of getting your degree with great teachers, and only a slight headache of dealing with cluelessness. However, if you are going for your associate's degree in nursing - save your money for a school that teaches more than incompetence.
