    Rio Salado Collage is by far the WORST school you could attend. I would have given negative stars if i could. This institution has thier pocket in mind and not your education. Your ability to sucueed is the LAST thing they want for you. In fact they will do what they can to ensure you do not succeed. I have a **** with over 36 credits through another **************** I have taken accelorated, Online, in person courses. I have NEVER had such disrespect, belitlement, and lack of desire to help you learn. The instructure refuses feedback whatsover. Any resonse is the most BROAD specturm response. She is super biast and if you do not agree with her stance on somthing she will grade accordingly instead of appropriately to the ruberic. The upper chairman of the school are zero help ******. You have someone who is trying to be sucessfull and they all said ***. This course has been a waste of time, money, energy, and time away from my family. I work in the healthare system and know 100s of people coing in and out of school for further educatuon. After speaking with a few others they have also had simmilar expierences with this discrace of a "school". We have done a great proactive work to ensure our National wide hospital does not endourse this school as an academic partner. SHAME ON YOU RIO SALADO - Maybe focus more on helping and educating rather than stealing money with zero resourses hoping people will contiune to retake a course at your poor excuse for a school.
