CBD College - Los Angeles, California

Everyone of my teachers were amazing, aside from Daniela. I lost my mom, completely unexpectedly 1 month into my clinicals. I let my site know(site manager and the techs) the morning it happened that I wouldn’t be in and had been in contact with them for the following week and a half. I got a call from Daniela, CRITICIZING ME for 5 min. I couldn’t even get a word in. She told me how I made her look bad(when I was in contact with my site) and how I was not to return and she was banning me from my site. At the end of the call I didn’t know what to say because I was taken a back by how she was treating me after just losing my mom, when I took all the appropriate steps to let everyone know what was going on, so I just said “okay”. She proceeded to hang up on me. No bye, no thank you for your time, sorry for your loss. Nothing. Hung up on. Extremely unprofessional! How dare you treat your students like that. I started to not do so well in class, as I had to take on so much after the passing of my mom. One more month went by, and I got a call asking if I needed a leave of absence. WHERE WAS THAT THE DAY I CALLED AND EXPLAINED MY SITUATION I didn’t know that was an option. Would’ve been nice to know. I was told “life happens”. While that’s true, everyone leads a different family life and has different relationships with they’re family. It was completely unacceptable how they handle my situation. And the cherry on top, was finding out someone else at this school when through the same thing and was treated the same. Do you not care about your students?

Aside from her, the MRI program has been amazing!

I'm not sure why they have so many bad reviews. I think a lot of these bad reviews come from former students who flunked out. Their standards are very clear and not particularly difficult to obtain. It's interesting how many spelling and grammar errors there are in the bad reviews.

From my personal experience in the MRI program, this place has been life-changing. The professors are incredibly knowledgeable and dedicated. The staff go above and beyond to help you resolve issues. My program was 100% online, so I visited the campus rarely. I would highly recommend this school for anybody wanting to get into MRI, but I can not speak to the other programs. If they're as good as my program, there should be no issue.

Just like with any school, you get out what you put in. If you put in minimal effort, you will get minimal education. If you put in maximum effort, you get maximum education for your money.

The only downside is that the administrative part of the school is not very communicative. They do take a long time to get back to you and are difficult to reach through the phone system. Other than that, this place has been amazing.

So far I have had a good experience with CBD, I did have a little hiccups with financial aid but I did get it rectified. My teachers I have in this second module Ms. Graham, and Mr Malone, are both very understanding and have been going above and beyond to help in my classes. Reassure me that I can do this and that I will be great in this ST program. I can't wait to see what's in store.

Overall my experience at CBD College went well. Being able to have my classes online was a blessing due to my busy schedule. I thought I wouldn’t get as good of an education as in person but the instructors are really good. I would recommend the MRI program to everyone.

My time at CBD was enjoyable they had excellent teachers that are available and willing to help students understand the concepts taught in lecture. The option for asynchronous classes are nice for people who need a flexible schedule. Progressing through classes to externships to assisting you with career services is nice and streamlined with the college ready to help at any point along the way. One slight complaint from me is a bit of a lack of communication and clarity when it comes to externships and time spent there. Overall I recommend CBD College they have great instructors, great student resources, and prepare you to be a capable technologist in your chosen modality.

This college has great teachers that are very attentive and really root for your success. However, when it comes to the process of getting enrolled it is not efficient and has a lack of communication. It was very rushed as far as orientation and financial aid is just off in wonderland. I had already started classes and then I find out that I have to pay out of pocket $7,000 for each module. I can understand if there is an out of pocket fee, but they literally wanted $800 monthly and thats insane especially for someone who does not make that much. Thats more then half my paycheck and was not communicated properly from the beginning. CBD Collage needs to be more attentive to new students and be more detailed with their enrollment process. They also can use more one on one time with their financial aid personal and adviser. I had to officially drop out of the college on week 3 because of the lack of communication with the financial aid department. I just hope that in the future they can improve on communication and be more attentive to not only their students, but their enrollment process.

Me giving CBD college a 1 star is being generous. 2 our of the 3 teachers I had were great. But the others didn't seem to care at all about her students. And the rest of the faculty, is the worst! They lack communication amongst themselves and their students. Clearly they only care about the money. If you need questions answered, good luck getting a hold of anybody to help you. No one will respond to your emails or voicemails. It is extremely hard speaking to someone that can actually give you answers and help. I totally regret having applied to this school and attending for a semester. If you find any other school, apply there. I wouldn't even apply to CBD as the last resort.

I am one step closer to becoming an MRI Technologist. The instructors in my program are amazing all around. The online setup is great because you do your work on your time during the week. I feel prepared for this career, this school is the best choice I have made.
