Nice clean facilities, everyone was really helpful. Parking is a b!tc! tho, and expensive. Recommend taking the train if you can. Campus is a short walk from Union Station.

First time here and I love it!!! Everyone has been so nice and helpful. Im definitely looking forward to my future!

Been on hold on the phone for over 30 minutes with advising just trying to get ahold of someone to help me sign up for classes. Thos is unacceptable. I became a student, but thank goodness I havent signed up for classes yet because the first impressions are horrible. Plus the reviews on here from the other people have pretty much solidified the deal on me walking away. Im not going to beg you to take my money.

It felt great to be back into the bldg, and it will feel awesome come the fall when I return to class.

How do they expect you to enroll into class if there is literally no one to help you. Especially those who this is their first time getting started. They act like their website is simple🤦🏾‍♀️ It’s annoying! Also when you email the advising and admissions dept. no one responds. I guess they do not care about ones education.

This is a great school! They have an awesome culinary and arts program. One of the fine arts instructors answered all my questions in a friendly manner. Ms. Garrick was knowledgeable and accommodating. I would recommend this institution of higher education to anyone looking to get their generals done. Thank you for your hard work.

Loving it lol

Just love the school and staff. So helpful when I started. Even the security as well as the janitors are friendly and approachable. Highly recommend this school in starting your career path!

Never been inside but am always downtown. Seen a few students get robbed coming out the doors. Like putting a liquor store near a bus stop..... Just bad placement.

I feel like putting a bad review I’m currently trying to see a councilor here at El Centro I came Thursday before 5pm and they told me it was closed but on the website they close at 5pm. Come to find out today a staff member told me they closed an hour early because they were having a spring break party. Today I’m trying to speak to an advisor I’m the only one here sitting in the lobby still waiting for someone to help me. I used to love this school but honestly service has gone down the drain. Someone please do something about this customer service that El Centro provides.

Alma Martell in the Advising office is amazing, she makes you feel welcomed and is so helpful! So thankful I was able to meet her and shes been able to assist me in making my dream of a degree a reality! Thank you for your kindness & professionalism!

My sister went to El Centro College and she loved it. Its located at West End Center, close to the Dart West End Rail Station, off of Elm Street and Lamar. These photos are the front and back entrances of El Centro College. Theres also a sign that says you can obtain records at this location. You have to pay big bucks to park in downtown Dallas so taking Dart for transportation is the cheapest and easiest way to get there.

The people here are very reserved and most of the admissions office are middle aged women who seem to be on their own time racking in a hourly check. I waited over three and a half hours in the admissions waiting room. I would highly advise you to do all off your admissions and classes online. The online courses are more helpful and the course material is much better. Take you time to read over each instructors bio page to see their teaching style and make surely their a good fit.

El Centro College is a diverse campus with many opportunities for advancement and growth. The classes are intimate enough were you feel heard and valued as a student, and not so large that you feel lost or overwhelmed. The school is located in downtown Dallas and is always buzzing with the activities of the heart of the city. Although there is not any free parking, the school offers students free Dart passes which last for the entire semester. I love my experience here and I know that I have been well equipped for transferring to the University.

I am writing on behalf of my daughter-in-law because she cant yet write English. She is attending English as Second Language classes. She went to her class this morning and she was literally kicked out of the school because she forgot to bring her student ID. She showed her passport, semester payment receipt, and books but the security guard yelled at her and asked her to leave. This is an unacceptable behavior. She wants to leave that school and transfer to another one where she feels valued and respected. I have a request. Please check the security cameras. I can give you details of time and entrance where this incident took place.Update: just talked to my daughter-in-law. She is so shook up over this matter that she is afraid to go back there and see the rude guy who kicked her out. What a feeling for a new international student. There was no misunderstanding. She understands English and clearly heard the security guard say that her passport was not an acceptable id. He stated that she needed to show a drivers license. Shes been in the US one month and has no DL. She rides public transportation to school. We are willing to discuss this incident with anybody.

Nursing College is a nightmare. Had an incident where a missed email became an issue that got me kicked out. When I brought up the fact that the college had never notified me in the first place, the dean herself dismissed me and blocked all my attempts at retrieving their email list in order to prove that I wasnt on it. This happened amidst issues with them issuing incorrect information on their blackboard pages almost every day on important testing and student status issues. To this day, I know people who got dropped from the program because the department posted an incorrect link for exam registration, meaning they missed the exam and failed to meet semester requirements.

I just wanted to take a moment to leave a comment. I arrived at the registration office at 8:05am and there was only one person there ahead of me. The lady at the desk told me that the registration sessions dont start until 9 and they last for 2 hours. I had to be to work at 10 so there was no way that was going to work for me. There was a lady there (forgot her name) but she got me assisted with someone who was working in general pop. admissions. I just want to thank her b/c it was already so inconvenient for me to even have to come up there just to register for online classes being that I have to get a 3 month old to daycare and drive all the way from downtown Dallas to Plano to get to work. I also want to thank Ms. Cynthia Walker (we have the same last name :)) I ended up getting back a lil after 9:30 and I dont think she was initially the person who was going to help me but I am glad she did. She helped me understand the things I was confused about and recommended me classes that I should take. After all was said and done, I walked out the office at 10am. Ms. Walker and the other lady played a big part in the 3 stars otherwise I would have rated 1. There is no reason I should have had to wait almost 2 hours to be seen when I arrived at the office at 8 and there was only one other person there to be seen.

This school is literally the worst, they take all day in the advising office and registration office. They will have one or two people helping more than 20 people and you would think that would make them have a sense of urgency but they do not. They all act as if they don’t feel like helping you and move so damn slow. I received 2 parking tickets during the time I have attended this school because two hours in a meter is not even enough. The best advisor is Shannon, the rest of them act like they don’t care and will not give you any guidance when your new to college, some will over talk you and not even pay attention or listen to what you are saying to them. This school will literally make you not want to attend college at all with how difficult they make the process. I am here at the college registering for my classes for the fall and have been here since 1:00 it is now 4:00pm smdh. If you plan on coming here make sure you have a whole day to spend here!!!! Ugh

My professor has showed up three times this semester. We always combine three classes in one classroom. We basically teach ourselves. You have two weeks to do six quizzes and a test. Which gives us TWO days to study for a quiz (average 50 pages per chapter to learn medical, terms, surgical procedures, diagnosiss, ect.) and one of those days you have to take two quizzes or a test. If you manage your time wisely.That is not enough for us. My other school gives us a week to study for one quiz and reviews over the materials needed to pass the quiz and test. Lastly, my test I took didnt get completed due to my computer shutting down for whatever reason. I begged my teacher, (even sending her photos of my computer shutting down) to let me complete my test, hoping she would understand the situation was out of my control. A basic simple no. Anyway, really disappointing.

They seriously almost never answer the phone in admissions or advising. I know those are busy departments but sheesh 🙄 Idk how I’m going to have everything completed if they don’t pick up the phone. Been calling them for HOURS. So frustrating!!!!

This school is really organized. Also, all of the representatives I had in Financial Aid and Admissions were very helpful. Im not sure why they have bad reviews on here, maybe this school hired new employees or something because my experience so far has been really, really good.

I have to give this 3 lousy stars because half of the teachers are worse then the students level. The school is nice and the programs are ok, but what is the criteria of hiring? Disappointed in the human emotional intelligence that this people have and the lack of professionalism. Is better to auto-teach-yourself with an online program. And because of the laziness in teaching, teachers are more to be replaced by technology!!! At this point I agree!

I am so disappointed in the advising center at this college. I arrived at 1:30pm and was running out at 3:30 to avoid a parking fine. I understand it’s a very busy time with Fall registration in full swing, but 2 plus hours wait is insane! Truth be told I was ok with the wait. I even expected it. The issue I really have is the attitude of one particular “advisor “. I try to take all things into account. I get being over worked and still trying to put your best foot forward. But when a student ( who is the reason you even have a job) is confused and searching for “advising” and clarification and maybe challenges something you are saying; you should maintain a since of professionalism. The “advisor” I had the unfortunate pleasure of speaking with was far from professional. I have spoke with 5 different advisor between Eastfield and El Centro though none were as unprofessional or rude as the last; ALL gave me different misguided information.At this point I have big decision to make in regards to my future in attending school here. Is so upsetting to me because I have waiting a long time to be able to get back on track with my dreams of finishing my degree. I feel that some people with DCCCD care but today was extremely discouraging.

Its a good environment and very diverse.The professors are great at what they do. Its center of downtown so public transportation is awesome. You will like there.

Love you El Centro! You’ve helped me in so many ways and wish I could rate my professors lol. Grateful for their second chance program and have had nothing but professional experiences with all the staff I’ve met. Proud to attend this college from all of DCCCD.

This school is great. Professors are so amazing they all go the extra mile to help you. No the admission office is kinds more like a 3.5 star lol. But over all the college is pretty great.

Culinary fast track block schedule is the way to go!

Worst college. The teachers are incompetent and cant even run a classroom correctly. They DO NOT REPLY TO EMAILS OR PHONE CALLS!Most of the time they send you YouTube videos to teach the class and treat you like s*** when you ask questions. A little depressing when you PAY for classes and have some dude on YouTube telling you what is going on in class.No parking and if there is parking it is anywhere from a few dollars to 15 or more.This school is a joke.Working with the students that come from here is a huge pain as well! They know nothing.NO STARS

Good college with many student services to offer. Really convenient if you ride the train to downtown because they offer train passes for free for students enrolled in more than 4 credit hours that semester. Ive heard that driving here is a hassle since parking spaces fill up and traffic is always a problem because its downtown. There is NO el centro parking! You will have to use a public parking space around the city that you have to pay for. Great restaurants around the campus if your looking for a bite to eat (Corner Bakery, Latin Deli, Starbucks and fast foods at the Renaissance building). The only con to this school is the downtown scene. Something is always happening at west end. Be careful.

The ICVT program there is very bad, the teacher who teach over there is unhelpful, she doesn’t have mercy and does not care about her students, she is very unhelpful, careless, she tell everyone at the beginning of the program that I can do and I can do for you then everything goes to the ground, it’s like a balloon you blow then it goes down, too many dreams then she destroys your dreams. And that she really care about her class then she slams you with a bad grade in the end of the clinical rotation.You complain to the president of the allied health and nothing happened it seems like the other one does not care either. I did not recommend a class to nobody at that location or at this program.Go find you another place to take this program and do not spend a penny at this program.I will not be at that school or at this program at All . The instructor SHE IS A NIGHTMARE!!!!

Joseph at International Student center does excellent job addressing all questions, promptly replying email and making sure student understand what they need. GREAT job Joseph.

I am interested in going to EL Centro, but to get a live person to speak with is impossible! I have been trying since Monday and it is now Wednesday. No one has returned my calls, I have applied on-line and no one has followed up and I have sent several e-mails. It is really frustrating when you are trying to get started and have no one who is available to assist you. Is it that impossible to go to this school? Then I wonder if I do eventually get a live person to talk with; will it be this difficult to speak with someone when I become a student?

This is the worst place too sign up for classes. It will be an all day process with all the back and forth they have you doing. I see why people vibe up and decide not to go to college. Because of schools like this that make it so hard that you get frustrated and give up. Way to go el centro on turning many away with your back and forth no oneis on the same page. The absolute worse go somewhere else plus parking is also a hassle not worth a wholeday

Great!

I was taking a final at El Centro during the shootings on July 7th and had absolutely no clue as to what was going on outside. The alarm was sounding but we could not hear it on the 8th floor. After speaking to my instructor, he advised that we just sit down and not pay any attention to what was outside.Started off as a peaceful protest and then the shots came. After we were permitted to leave, I walked over to a window by the elevators and noticed road blocks. An officer shined his flashlight at the window to move away. Even with this, we did not know what had happened outside.Me and a few others decided to leave and got on the elevators. By the time we reached the 3rd floor you could here the alarms in the school. Once we walked off the elevator, we were met with several officers with their guns drawn on us telling us to get our hands up. Ive never been so scared in my life. The officers had no idea there were students still in the school.I thought for a brief moment, what if one cop would have jumped the gun and fired a shot, and then the rest of them. I would have left behind 2 kids and a granddaughter. I still think about it when I close my eyes at night. HORRIBLE!!!So please believe me when I say that the interview from the school president was CRAP!!! Get the damn alarm system fixed at the school before praising the staff for their hard work and efforts. UTTERLY RIDICULOUS!!!!!!!! This was a very traumatizing experience from the guns, to walking over gun shells, glass, and blood trying to exit the building.

The school is excellent but is in a terrible and dangerous location with a high crime rate. Students who ride the subway or even drive to school are harassed by homeless/drug addicts strangers daily. I was offered to buy drugs on the subway by an intimidating homeless man with a knife. I have to resort to expensive parking spots and walking to school is dangerous as well day or night. While walking to school I am constantly harassed and panhandled by homeless men. During one incident an older hoodlum man became aggressive when I declined to give him money and could not locate any police or security guards nearby, as they are never there when you need them. This is not right or fair. Students do not deserve to be harassed on their way to or from school. El Centro College needs to be relocated with a parking lot designated for students and staff.

Awesome school! All the professors I had were awesome! Plus, I met some cool people (:

I go to school here. Theres no parking so you do have to pay for that. I always park in the parking lot in elm/lamar the guy is really nice.

Amazing professors! Financial aid is probably the worst here, extremely rude, uninterested in helping students, and the wait times are just terrible. Also the advisors are worthless. Plus if you take night classes, the area is super sketch after sundown. But I still give it five stars just because of the quality professors and quality education you receive.

Time management at this college is just the worst. I don’t recommend anyone wasting their time in this college

Biology teachers suck and your are basically forced to take the same nonsense teacher for every upcoming semester. I took biology this summer and It is the most terrifying experience I have ever had. No time to study in between tests. A stupid nonsense quiz every time you step on the stupid classroom. When they lecture they assume you know the lecture. is ridiculous. Finally, no test review because they say they want you to know everything. Yeah right. They are lazy and have no sympathy. The lecture is basically power points and youtube videos. A lot of students dropped the class but I decided to stay and see if I pass it, hopefully I will but it is in sane.

I am a transfer student- El Centro will unfortunately be my 5th school to transfer to and with that being said, I know and have an understanding of the transfer process. I am well aware of my responsibilities to the school and what I need to provide in order to be accepted and a student. Yet, somehow, El Centro has done nothing to help me. I have turned in all my paperwork in a timely manner and have done everything on my end but the advising dept cant ever 1.) call me back 2.) advise me on the classes I have to take to transfer to a 4 year university and 3.) register me for the appropriate classes 4.) send me an email telling I am at El Centro bc it is closest to me but if I had any idea of this agonizing process I would of gone elsewhere. The treatment I have received is not just inappropriate but also incredibly unacceptable.

This is the worst campus that I have EVER encountered. Starting off NO one and I do mean NO one in the Registar’s office at this campus responds back to emails, voice messages nor do they answer phone calls! I have had my transcript sent to this location 3 different times and they have yet to be evaluated. Oh and you can forget about leaving an actual voicemail especially for the individual who evaluates transcripts if your last name starts with R-Z. I’ve left her several and I do mean several messages (my first message was left in April 2018) and have not received a callback or email. So do to the incompetence and laziness of the idiots at this campus I now have to take time off, travel to this stupid campus and wait to see someone! I’m definitely making sure that I make an appointment with the VP of student affairs!

As I get near to transferring I look back at all the great things about this college. First, you get a free DART pass which saves the student a lot of money. Second, the college is conveniently located in the heart of Dallas.Sure, there are a lot of people who arent serious about their or your education, but dont let that hold you back. In a community college you get what you put into it. I put a lot of hard work and I learned to rely on myself to be successful.

I am Happy for today,s technology and that parasites like the soo called teachers and staff from this school, cannot hide and deceive anybody, I was planning to attend this school, but now I have a good idea who they are, forget it, they are mediocre people and without education. Too many people feel disgusted about them, some thing serious and for real consideration, lets do dissappear this center, making nobody to attend. By the way my face is ricozopez, if any body can recommend me other real teaching center.

I love this college. today was my very first day of college, I love the simple instructions to classrooms, although the elevators are pretty full other than that GREAT SCHOOL.

They wouldnt exept me because im a x fellon even though i have my papers

Ms. Deidra Nickie Ray is by far the best Math teacher and tutor Ive ever had, shes patient, kind, gentle, and very inquisitive and sweet, If theres anytime anyone needs a awesome math teacher Ms.Ray is your girl.

When I went to El Centro I had a major occurance happen in my life which left me in a deep depression to where I couldnt will myself to get to my classes. I had 3 professors. Out of the three only one expressed concern. She recommend a student counsellor to me that didnt help much at all. After I told the counsellor asked me about my situation one of her first questions was do you want to be put on antidepressants? After I told her no, she told me to contact her anytime I wanted to see her but shed always be busy. Now I want to go back more than ever but I cant because I failed all of my classes because I was just too depressed to go. In my opinion, professors should express more concern for their students. The counsellor made me feel like she was too busy for me. That little extra mile someone couldve gone for me may have helped in the long run.

Truthfully, some of the most under qualified staff Ive ever experienced. You get the feeling that everyone there hates their job and most of the students. Very negative environment.

Among some really sincere and helpful advisors, there are many people that work here that really do not care about the students and assisting them with there questions. Trying to get answers to your questions through there calling services will just lead you in a circle of getting transferred. I called their testing center so many times to try and get ahold of a person instead of an operator. I called their academic office to see if they could answer my question and both times, the SAME woman transferred my call to the testing center after I let her know I wasnt able to get a hold of someone to talk to.There is a reason why I will not be attending El Centro and going to a more professionally handled school.

Am an international student and i was treated so well at the international admissions. Am humbled. Hoping to study there in the near future

The teachers are very good and I love how passionate they can be about their subject sometimes, but the advisors always get things wrong when it comes to my degree.

Horrible!! I litterly spent two hours waiting in line to talk to an advisor! Ugh ... I got so anxious because I was literally NEXT when the lady at the front desk announced they were going to take an improvised meeting!! They should have cleared out the waiting area first WTH ppl have placed to be and go!! So unprofessiol!

Ive called now 4 times.. Im trying to get my schooling going for the fall for their EMS accadmey. No one has yet to answer and finally someone called me back, well I was working and could not answer so I called back, no answer again I tried 2 more times and still no answer or phone call back... I guess Im not going to school here

I just dont like the business side of this school, if you are dealing with Grants, loans etc. they are not professional. They definitely need someone to regulate whoever processes the paperwork. I have had more than 3 different instances with this school about them not processing my paperwork correctly. According to others their reputation for this is not good and has not been for a long time now. Over 30 years. Please use your own judgement and do the research before you decide to choose a school. I would suggest another branch of DCCCD.

Might have been better if I was able yo really care about my studies

Its community college. Theres pros and cons. Its best to find out about who your professor is before signing up for a class

I started off loving the school . Until I missed 2 days of and an 8 week course (mini mester) October 16.2017 . 2 out of 5 teachers didn’t certify me as attending(I passed all 5 classes with a c+ or better ). The school did not contact me. Months later in January of 2018 I tried to register for classes & I had a hold on me. They say I owe 740$ for “not attending “ a class that I passed . Long story short it’s about to be a whole year . It’s August 2018 & I’ve been leaving voicemails coming up to the school & nobody has budged for me. One teacher said he will not certify me & cant get in touch with the other teacher. I don’t know wat to do at this point or who to get in touch with so I can start bk school I’m im 2 semesters from graduating which I would have graduated December 2018 if it wasn’t for the mishaps. If you are a student taken computer science I suggest you take it online bcuz the teachers literally do not teach you anything just have u come to class to sit & do work off a computer program

This “college” is an absolute disgrace to higher education. To describe the employees as incompetent would be an understatement. Think US Post Office or DMV…you know the type.I had to relocate from Austin to Dallas for work and my wife is finishing her Associate’s Degree. If I had known how awful her experience would be attempting to attend classes here I would have passed on the job opportunity. It is seriously that bad.She transferred her transcript from Austin Community College several WEEKS before the spring semester would begin. This has been confirmed by ACC. El Centro has not done what they need to do to process her transcript resulting in holds on her financial aid and an inability to register for classes. Speaking with anyone from El Centro on the phone is next to impossible. One lady in particular REFUSED to return any phone calls. My wife literally had to call again and again one day (after days of trying to get in contact) just to get her to answer so she could remove the hold on her registration.Today she was dropped from her classes for not paying the tuition because of El Centro’s gross incompetence. Because they STILL have not processed her transcript and released the financial aid. This was after attempting to clear this up for WEEKS and being assured it was resolved.I shudder to think of the actual quality of the education being given here. I would urge anyone considering attending a community college to look elsewhere.Unfortunately there is not another school around here that offers a paralegal program or she would leave and never look back.

Teachers are great Financial Aid will leave you cluess Summer dates dont match information posted in the student portal

I am beyond frustrated. I cant get anyone to answer the phones to assist me in the advising process. I have called over a dozen times and all I do is get transferred back and forth !

I’ve tried to contact the school, I have questions about the TSI, my FAFSA, selecting my classes, I’ve called a few times and nobody ever picks up. I’ve left messages and still haven’t heard back, I really need info about this, please.

This is horrible communication. I have been trying to get in contact with this school for a week and a half, have left three voicemails, and have yet to receive one call back! Ive been trying to get in contact with the academic advisor for the sonograph program so that I can obtain information about transferring to this school, but have not been assisted! When I call, I sit on hold for an hour listening to pointless ads, and I have yet to speak with an actual human being. Im beginning to wonder if anyone actually is employed here, or if the school is run by machines. Very disappointed!!

The DCCCD staff is incompetent. Well at least their financial aid staff are incompetent. I have been interacting with them for weeks. They claimed that they had everything that they needed. One of their staff members told me that they supposedly needed one more document in order to release my funds. I have checked on econnect and everywhere, and it is nothing there that telll me that I need to turn in any other documentation. This is the worst experience ever. I dont have money for books. Its going to put me so behind in my course work. Smh!

It isnt a bad school if you are disciplined enough to stick to your schedule. I transferred from here and I came back to take courses for a certification. I do agree with majority of the comments here about the Financial Aid Office. These people are not educated about TASFA, DACA, nor Financial Aid guidelines (please actually place people here who are familiar with each process!) The wait at this office is endless!Method of having to enroll for Continuing Education classes is the worst. A lot of us have job to be at and cant stop by the office to apply in person. I wasnt notified of my class getting cancelled nor is there a way to sign up online and people do not answer the phone. The IVR prompt in place loops after a few minutes of being on hold.I made the mistake here of leaving my bike chained up overnight because I was picked up after class due to rain. I reported that my bike tires were stolen and the cops did nothing but laugh at me. My macbook was also stolen out of the dressing rooms while I was performing a Shakespeare play and I provided the serial number of the device, but told me they could do nothing about it. RIDICULOUS!Education wise, it is a great choice and a good place to transfer from, but youre stuck doing most of your research because some offices arent very helpful. I wouldnt mind working here just to correct these things.

If you have to take accounting Do not take instructor LaTasha Horne she is rude ,dishonest and dose not communicate with her students.

Let me see where shall I begin first of all me and my friend went down to E; Centro campus down town yesterday and was attempting to become a student to continue our education and that was fine but then I got told by an admission person that my previous school that I was attending is not accredited which is a total lie...it is stated online that everest colllege where I was attending is nationally accredited....apparently this admission person does not know crap...

They never answer the phone when you have questions about information that isnt on the website. Save yourself the hassle on people who arent interested in helping you. Apply somewhere else.

Bruh, do these boo boo heads ever answer the damn phone?! I don’t know how many times I’ve called to get through to the continuing education department and it’s always the damn operator! The operator gives you an option to talk to a CE rep but as soon as you press 0, the operator repeats the same thing she said.

I have been on top of my re-enrollment from TCCD to DCCD and I have had nothing but trouble.I am not a slacker, I am not haphazard in my preparation of documentation, meeting deadlines or in making sure I am staying in contact with administrators. I have been sent from one office to another while on campus, receiving unclear and most of the time different answers on questions I have had. My financial aid is being held because people are manually having to enter in information to confirm my financial aid eligibility. I have a 3.128 GPA, I dont owe anything on any account at any school, my necessary information has been completed months in advance and I am still unable to buy necessary class materials because I am waiting on EL CENTRO.It is beyond frustrating being met with so many stipulations and being limited on my ability to excel in this semester due to the campus inability to properly and efficiently communicate with students. Not all students attending are fresh out of high school, ill spoken or hood, some of us are responsible adults just trying to do better. I have encountered rude staff in every office I have been in while completing my enrollment and now this on top of everything else. The person I spoke with at the call center had no idea what to tell me. If I could afford books out of pocket I wouldnt have submitted a request for a grant in the first place.I dont know what needs to happen for this establishment to streamline their process but it needs to happen sooner rather than later.

Good school alot of opportunites and student engagment plus its in down town

Hello. I am Alvin Roney. Ive been trying to register for almost a week now but I have to call my preferred campus (El Centro) for an additional step to get registered for my student ID through Econect. Ive left voicemails & called throughout the morning everyday & got no one to answer the phone. Do they even have employees for this kind of stuff. This is ridiculous..

Nightmare trying to work with administration, teachers dont answer questions, they will pass the buck and then you still cant get the right paperwork needed. they change assignments at last minute so stay on line 24/7. biggest headache is administration nobody seems to know anything Deans are never available

Long before Police Academy was here, I was enrolled in Police Science at Tyler Jr. College. In 1971, I attended El Centro. In 2015-17 I used to use their Wi-Fi to access my Facebook pages.

This school might work out for some, but for me the staff was rude and unhelpful. Ive tried to get assistance from different departments, but Im literally being ignored to the point that Im drafting a letter to send to the Dean of the School and the Chancellor of DCCCD. I would recommend NCTC of this school any day. I had a much better experience there.

My family prays for all of the students and faculty coming back whenever.. I know this is an excellent diverse school..

I went to Brookhaven first,but made more sense to go to El Centro (much closer) When first coming here to this school.....I hated it. Lots of traffic, elevators full ...long wait next min. Im late for class and some professors are strict and dont want to hear it.I took a summer break due to financial reasons. I saw my school in the news and was shocked and feel bad for those injured and killed. I now plan on returning in the near future and will be proud to one day graduate from el centro.I took one star due to bus passes...only full time students get them. I was only one credit away last time and was denied and risk trying to ride for free!I work a full time low paying job with rent...light.. Ect. So bus passes maybe for full time students and also consider us low income students too.

Worst school! Do not go here. The admissions office has 2 terrible employees. There both black. Ones a large woman who sits at the front desk, and another is a black male couselor. When i walked in the office, once i opened the door they both stared at me and mugged me. When i said hello, they didnt respond but still mugged me. So it was awkward. I explained why i was there to enroll, and just looked at me. And i said well, wat do i do? Then finally they looked at each other then looked at me, and asked if i applied to the school, i said yes. I was wondering if i could get a tour. Then they said u have to be a first year. After being sent across the hall to re apply. Basically to get my id number i came back and once again they awkwardly stared at me, until i said i had gotten my id number. Then the lady started to be nice to me, put me in the system and told me a couselor will call me, for my turn. I waited 35 minutes, and the black male couselor came and called for the name of a black male student who had showed up 20 minutes after i was waiting.I looked at the lady and she told me i know u were here first so let me check the system. Then she told me, someone deleted me out. So i had to wait longer. I think these ppl might be racist or prejudice. Completely the worst college experience ever!

The people criticizing the staff for being vague, rude, and apathetic are correct. Not everyone there is like that, but quite a few of them are. It was also hell trying to get financial aid because they bungled processing the paperwork.

Some libtard threw an egg at me because I was just stating facts and logic

This college is horrible came on a field trip and they wouldn’t let us in the college 👎🏼 -1000 out of 10

Wonderful College There.

They dont even let us in

If it was not for the fact the program is ABA approved, I would not be here. Admissions 1 star, advising 1 star, financial aide 0 stars.

Lots of security and helpful staff.

It was phenomenal

I was considering this school, but the reviews are awful. Sorry you guys..

The wait in the office is endless, followed by unhelpful staff.

Nobody ever answers the phone. Ive been calling since July since Im out of town. Nobody will help me. When I finally get somebody on the phone they pass responsibility to somebody else. Now Ive missed the fall enrollment and might have missed the flex classes.

Great local school.

Poor phone services, lazy employees out there. This school need a major change

Sorry I take that bad rate back even though it took forever to get to an advisor Tiffany made it all worth it thanks so much!

I am on the phone now for almost 30 minutes, just to get a fax number for enrollment services. NO SUCH LUCK!! Does anyone answer the phone at this place?? Get it together already....

I like this places because its close to my house and I really need to get back in school
