Sumner College Reviews
Rating 3.69 out of 5 98 reviews
Unfortunately this school took away the 2 programs people really needed (ADN and LPN bridge) and replaced both with a 100k BSN program. If you're 21, rich or have family who will bankroll you you can swing it but many people who go to tech colleges are working, parents, dont want to wait years to get into programs, etc. Why not just save 50k and go to one of many awesome colleges for your BSN? I honestly dont get it. They should have kept their ADN as an option for those who cant afford 100k tuition and 2.8 years in school.
It's great being accepted into a school that cares about your merits more then your grades, but they are obviously a for-profit school. Their administration is terribly run and not organized.
Term schedule was released days prior to the term began. Emails for supply pick up were sent out last minute, with the dates set for working hours on weekdays. They act like its required but actually are lax about it. They poorly communicate on everything from parking spots to holiday breaks.
They require AHA BLS/CPR in person certification and a drug test during your first term- including cannabis.
The teachers are a very mixed bag but most are not very good at teaching. The course material is mostly through Canvas and online eBooks. Most teachers give exams every other week and quizzes each class.
The school separates most classes by day- ex: NUR205 on Weds, PHA201 on Fri. and occasionally with two in one day if they are shorter classes. Students have no control over their schedule at all.

I like the opportunities Sumner offers students in their community. A nursing program with pre-requisites included?! It's one of a kind. It was hard work to get accepted into the program but felt more welcoming due to the small private school feeling. The have poor communication though, I have had to communicate several times with the financial aid person to get an appropriate financial aid package and still have yet to receive. Over all I look forward to attending but students may face some obsticles.
