I'm so sad. A year ago I would have never thought to be in this position. Pima has let me down tremendously. Not only it's staff but the students there as well. Please save your money and go elsewhere this school is a waste of my time. I won't specify what program Im in due to confidentiality . First of all the price is ridiculous.. You're gonna be in some serious debt i'll tell you that much. Also the staff is so unprofessional. Not just by the way they speak but also by the way they dress. I was often taught by people that worked in the field I was trying to get my degree in as opposed to an actual professor/Instructor. They were nice but had no teaching skills what so ever!! They just read from the slides. Besides all of that everything is so unorganized.. the curriculum?.. unorganized. I felt as if all I learned was from me self teaching myself. It was like taking an online class I never signed up for. The bathrooms are always filthy!! You would think these are people that are going to be taking care of sick patients so they should at least be clean. That is not the case here at PIMA!! these bathrooms are disgusting. Also it seems like they allow just anybody into these programs. It's very discouraging to walk the halls and to think these people were allowed in these programs. It's like they're just after anyones money.. Please be careful and really consider your decision before applying. I sure wish I did.

Looks like the person that wrote the previous review is bitter about something. Wow! so much animosity in the air, probably an employee that was fired or a bad student that couldn't pass.

Community Colleges are not necessarily better,(They are way cheaper), but they do have lapses too, old labs, bad curriculum etc.

The most important thing is at the end of the day every student takes the same board exam and thats all that matters. Don't know much about this school but my neighbor is a student and she said its a great School.
