Virtual tour and appointment with admission advisor for the dental hygiene program didn't even do a one-on-one appointment, no virtual tour of the campus facilities, or discuss financial aid requirements. The program accepts 12 students and it takes 84 weeks to complete in-person Monday-Friday from 9am-5pm. Total cost is $56,594 and it's an accredited program. I was told last minute in the zoom meeting to complete the Scholastic Level Exam (SLE-Q) on the spot and you need a minimum score of 22 or they'll ask you to come in-person to retake it. PLEASE ADVISE THAT YOU NEED TO TAKE THE SLE-Q EXAM AND PASS WITH A MINIMUM OF 22 IF NOT YOU'RE NOT ABLE TO APPLY.
Advisors do not reach out to students unless you reach out to them first. This was only my experience however.
The application process was unorganized and it was very difficult to get in touch with registrar and financial aid. The school is also expensive compared to resources provided and classrooms aren't readily available when needed. The faculty and staff aren't very amicable and I don't always feel comfortable and supported when asking questions.
I like the fact that there are good instructors here at allstate career. They pay attention to what you need to know, what you need to learn, what else you will need help on. They really help you succeed successfully in class. The night class is the best!
The computer lab is very helpful in several ways. Students have access to the internet anytime during school hours. Students are highly recommended to complete job applications in computer lab so if any assistance is needed staff members are there for support.
All state school is very understanding with lifestyle adjustments. Meaning if you keep them in the loop of the changes they'll do their best to keep students in school. For example if a person has a new job during the week switching to weekend classes isn't a problem at all. Although the credits aren't transferable school wise they're transferable to student hire jobs
Onsite all state has a student center available for any needs including homework assistance, updating resume, as well as assistance in prehires.
During my high school years I was around teachers who seemed less the qualified to teach the material they were teaching. Going into college I expected to have excellent professors who were good at what they did. Some of them were very good at what they did, but most just seemed to make my learning experience more difficult.
Stay Away – Due to crappy lead instructor, don't waste your money or financial aid here.
Classes Are Very Interesting – These classes are really not what I expected but there is a reason we need them I guess. The teachers are amazing and very helpful.
