  I have very little respect for the staff at the San Jose Everest College. I applied to work there as a Career Rep. I truly felt that I had found my true calling. Working with students to succeed in their desired career path and achieve their goal was something I felt I would excel at and make a difference in someone else's life. I went through 3 interviews with the last being with their Regional Manager. A week and a half ago they said they would be in touch with me. To date no one has bothered to call me after numerous calls and messages. They can't even be bothered to call a potential employee with a courtesy call to let them know that they were not chosen. There can't be that many that made it to the third interview to make calling someone back an unreasonable task. I think it is very cruel and unprofessional of them. At the very least they could send out a form letter or e-mail. Wanting this so bad I have even tried to convince myself that part of the position is cold calling offices and getting your foot in the door. Sometimes I think that maybe this is a test to see how bad I want it or how I would react to a Dr.'s office that blows off all my calls with excuses.

  I’m a Financial Aid Officer at Everest College and after reading these reviews, I’m not surprised because private schools want your money and students don’t make responsible decisions.

  When dealing with private schools, you must know that these institutions are FOR PROFIT. The admissions reps are a SALES force, so yes; they are after your money. With this in mind, it is very important to do your homework. Ask yourself: why do I want to attend a private school over a state school? Can I afford a private school (even once I graduate)? Have I talked to enough schools to make an informed decision? My Bachelor's degree was LESS than the cost of an Associates Degree at Everest and I will never have to worry about my credentials. By attending a state school, you can rest assured your degree will be well respected and well received. As a Financial Aid Officer and college graduate, I do not recommend attending ANY private school. My sister-in-law went to Ottawa and had nothing but complaints--the same complaints as these reviews. Certainly, even state schools have problems, but you can rest in knowing you are earning a degree from a reputable school.

  i am currently a student at the burr ridge campus. im just in my 4th mod and i haven't learned anything since my intro. my intro teacher was the best but my teacher now is lazy. all we do is work on the computers. when we get homework she has us go over the answers and 99% of the time she doesn't clairfy what the correct answers are. now one student complained to the admin. that our teacher does not do lectures. so since she is being forced to do lectures and acutally work for her paycheck she refuses to give out handouts or study guides for the tests because she feels it is excessive even the the whole class is asking for them. basically she is just immature and upset that she got caught not working so she is taking it out on the whole class. I would not advise anyone to enroll at everest. this school is a joke. i basically just wasted $16,000 and there is nothing i can do about it.

  I'm confused...I just finished my 3rd module at Everest in Southfield, MI. I had to stop going for personal reasons now. I'm in a mix of taking online classes with Kaplan, but Everest is telling me that hands-on is important. Also those with high degrees are still racing for jobs just as well as those with low degrees. My thing is what's better for one person may not be better for you or me. So I partially agree with Everest, but at the same time YES you can't expect to just recieve a certificate from Everest and stop there!! So for those who keep complaining about how they graduated and still haven't found a job or better yet didn't recieve the "PROMISED INTERVIEW" is getting annoying. Education should be everlasting anyway, although no one in this world could possibly learn everything. It takes time and those with no patience are the one's time kill! You can't expect things to be given to you not in this world. My plans are beyond that, I will be going back to finish the program just to get the hands on and knowledge training, and further my education! These statements about Everest being money hungry is over-rated if you ask me...now if you're trying to say it's costly and not worth it, then move on!

  I have been with Everest for 1 semester and I have learned little. I also found out that I can not transfer to another college. I know I will already owe at least 3.000. I'm done. Don't even think about it. They just want your money and once you are in there they don't let you get away.

  It's so sad that an institution offering higher education uses commercials with graduates praising the school, and using improper grammar to do so. For instance, "if I wouldn't have went back to school". Am I the only one who cringes to hear the English language so misused? Especially when education is what you're advertising. Bad,bad,bad.
  Proper grammar should be a top priority when it comes to getting ahead in today's rat race. It seems that someone in charge of advertising should be more on top of things. These adds are at the very least, an insult to the intelligence of the American student.

  I received my Associates Degree from Everest College in Phoenix, AZ in July 2008 and I am back getting my Bachelors. I called ASU to see if I could join their school and my degree was 100% accredited and transferable. The thing to remember about this college is that it is a Corporate College. Meaning it is run by a corporate office who over sees many other schools and they have a beuracracy issue. Good school over all

  Everest is just a huge money pit. I was enrolled for four months before they notified me that my financial aid didn't go through. They called me and harassed me saying that i owe them $8,000. The financial dept. at Everest just assumed i would be able to pay out of pocket since my financial aid didn't go through. They are very rude and they only want money. DO NOT ENROLL AT EVEREST!!!!

  Everest College sucks. It's 5 months since my graduation and I haven't had 1 interview as promised by the school prior to my signing the dotted line. Then I asked them about that and they denied it and gave me the run around. I now have no job and bills coming out of my behind. Now I owe about nine thousand dollars not including interest. Luckily some of the $14000 was covered by grants, but I still owe so much. My 1st teacher was awful and I had to change classes. Then I finally graduated and they tell me I owe $700.00 to the school before I can get my diploma. Mind you, this $700.00 was suppose to be covered by one of my loans but I guess the full amount of the loan didn't go through and they didn't tell me until I was suppose to be finished. So now I'm done with school, I finally have my diploma along with extra payments to the school I wasn't suppose to have. And now my loan bills are coming. What a waste of my money and time. Don't Go To Everest College! I'm sure some people find jobs, but more people don't then do.

  Everest College is over-rated and way over priced. The Everest in Phoenix wants $333 per credit hour. They have a nice facility but talking to the admission reps etc is like dealing with a car dealership.

  They are hustlers and want the $$$ at any cost. If you are looking for a post-secondary college I would look into Brown Mackie College in Phoenix.

  Brand new facility. Brand new equipment. State of the art. I start classes there on May 4th.

  No problems at Everest so far -- I've had some good professors, and you have to study hard and do some work on your own, but a little self-motivation goes a long way! Everest promises a job placement program that will help get students out there and noticed after graduation, I'm looking forward to that!
