JTCC - experiences?

I'm currently enrolled at Reynolds and the program is an absolute mess. I don't anticipate things getting that much better, either. The coordinator has repeatedly yelled at the entire student body and screamed personally in the face of individual students. They hired a teacher who hadn't taught clinicals in over 10 years and had no idea what was going on (it didn't help that she never had orientation). It took our group 2 weeks before we knew what was required and what we needed to do. Our course materials weren't stocked in the bookstore until halfway through the first week. Our teacher, who was just barely getting used to the program, either quit or was fired, causing our schedule to change around nearly halfway through the semester.

I can understand the stuff with the teacher, stuff happens, but recently having our coordinator show up and angrily ask "why am I here?" when one of our teachers asked her to come and tell us what is going on with clinicals (we still don't know when and where and she keeps changing the day every time we see her), then yelling at all of us, then learning about her yelling in the face of one of my classmates... that was the last straw. I am going to finish out my year and then transfer somewhere, anywhere else.

Is the JTCC program organized, structured? Are the teachers good? Any good experiences and bad experiences anyone is willing to share? I'm sure there are some teachers that may not be great, some bad organization here and there, etc. but I find it hard to believe that there are many other programs that are as absolutely messed up as Reynolds' program currently is.
