Agree with you i have some experience with them myself. I posted my story below.

Agree with you yes i have experienced them and yes nothing transfers at all anywhere. I spent three years there

Also when it comes to passing the NCLEX test. The pass rate is low from what i hear from the other students and previous graduates. There are people out there that have graduated from South College and cannot pass the NCLEXRN. So before going there you better research and do your homework.

Here's my story about South College Asheville. I started in 2012 with high hopes to have a RN degree within 2 years. I went through all the pre req classes and even met with the advisor many times. They worked very hard to loop me in from the begining and yes i agree they are just like salesmen when it comes to getting you in there and not telling you the small details until it is to late. It is 5000 dollars a quarter regardless how many classes you take and the fact that they advertise night classes isn't so. As they did not offer much at night maybe 2 or 3 and that was pushing it. Also after i had been there a while i found out that NONE OF THE CREDITS TRANSFER ANYWHERE TO KNOW SCHOOL AT ALL!!!!!!! Yeah they advertise that they are a glamerous school but in reality they are not. they are not recognized. Yes i did graduate from one program not Nursing. As the advisor at that time would try to push you off to other programs if you didn't score all A's nearly. So after my pre reqs for Nursing and applied i was turned down even after i scored As and Bs with a GPA of 3.63. I believe that a lot of favoritism is played there and if they don't want you in there Nursing program your not getting in regardless of the grades or effort. After they pushed me away fron the RN program they told me to do Medical Assisting as it is kind of like nursing. I completed that and graduated. I then went back to try to get in RN program again and applied and turned down as so many are. During that time from 2012 to 2016 they have went through 4 deans and 4 program coordinators. So the college is very unorganized and not prepared. Yes i have spent a lot of time at South College and i am aware of what goes on and how they work now. They promised me in the begining and RN degree which i never got and they never were to interested in really helping you to succeed. Some of the program coordinators over the years are currently and were darn right disrespectful and hateful to students that didnt get in or were in already and not helping to succeed. In 2015 last year i finally got in to the nursing program after 3 years of trying and managed to complete nearly half of the program then my grade fell below 80% just barely below and they dropped me from the program. During my time in the RN program they would cram ridiculus amounts of book work which included racing through 8 or 9 chapters a day in Medsurge or other classes which we only met in those classes like twice a week and that was it. So it was so much cramming. During the first quarter they lost some great students due to that reason and they weren't willing to help them to succeed. During my time there was 26 people in my class then it fell all the way down to about 9 currently left which may even be less than that now. So the pass rate is very very low and they make it so difficult to even get into the program then when in it's not that organized and not to great. After dropped i sat out for 6 months and tried to re-admission into Nursing. I had to take another pharmacology test and score a 90% or better to get back in and satisfactory on skills check off. A few people in my class were trying to get back in. I scored an 80% on test and didn't get back in. New cooordinator informed me that it was the end of the line for me at that point meaning that she wasn't going to let me back in to the program. She then deferred me to do something else with my life and try another program even though i have spent and dedicated so much time and hard work for Nursing. I then left South College last year and all that i have from them is thousands of dollars in debt with no Nursing degree as they promised but i am a Certified Medical Assistant. During those years there i alot seen a lot of very good instructors get fired. Alot of instructors in the Nursing program kept getting fired to and replaced constantly so it made it even more difficult because there turnover rate on instructors is so high and the programs are so unorganized. I seen a lot of potentially good nurses get dropped because they came out making Cs which is passing in most colleges but still a lot of potentially great awesome nurses that were in my class got dropped including myself. I have started a new college and attempted to transfer all my pre reqs from South College which new college is widely recognised and very accredited and yes credits from my new college. But they would not accept South College's credits. So iam starting all over from the begining with re-taking pre-req classes and trying for Nursing again.
