Virginia College Birmingham, Al The school is a rip off. I was not notified that I could not transfer credits until I was over a year in debt. No clinical site/hospital respects the school, therefore the degree is useless! Teachers are messy and incompetent! Birmingham Alabama

I am currently a student in the Respiratory Therapy program at Virgina College in Birmingham,Al. The program is not worth the debt that i have occurred while attending this school. The students do not get the proper education or training that is needed to pass state boards. The quote from all of the instructors is "you are responsible for learning the material on your own because we do not have enough time to go over everything". 

I was not notified once I enrolled into the school that the credits were not accredited and non-transferrable to the local community colleges or universities. After a year into the program, I realized that the school was horrible and the program was not respected, I wanted to transfer. At that moment I found out I would have to start completely over. I was already in a vast amount of debt because of the student loans I aquired throughout the duration of the program. 

We are only allowed to go to a few clinical sites because of the bad reputation of the school, therefore jobs are limited because those facilities will not hire Virgina College students/graduates. The college is also charging for room and board and does not offer either one. 

The entire school as well as the instructors are fraudulent!!! I hope this reaches someone who has the power to stop them! 

Do not attend Virgina College in Birmingham,Al
