You should use talk to the manger in career services b/c they will help you do your resume and they have career classes not where you do all that in there.

I have not smelled this "odor", the Culinary Department is really good - they are always cooking something and the dishes are fancy maybe thats the smell. The building is nice and teh culinary program is really good.

Went to visit school. Was very unimpressed. Admissions person just wanted me to enroll. Was not interested in me or my goals. School building was dirty and smelled like dirty diapers and stale food. There was not a a lot going on there. The students, teachers and others looked bored and were not friendly. Got a really bad vibe. These are not nice people. They are out for the money and don't care about the students.

The school is really terrible. Teachers do not care and fellow students are not nice. I am looking for help with my resume and the assistant in career services blew me off. Can't wait to graduate.

I am a student here. I am in a health sciences program and the teachers are terrible. It is all just a joke to them...they do not take the students seriously and do not care if we learn or not. If I did not have so much time invested in my program...I would transfer somewhere else!!

I wanted to respond to the person who criticized the web content and newsletters. (the review has disappeared.) He/she is totally right. I have never seen such poorly written material associated with an educational institution. The people in charge obviously do not care about first impressions or perhaps do not realize that some of us make informed decisions by doing research. My kids and I were looking at schools and this one definitely went in the no column. In addition to reading about "Paris Jackson", we were unable to get a call back to set up an interview to see the school! Obviously, the person who hired the people at this school, need to take a closer look at their employees or else they just don't care how the public perceives them.

My kid wanted to go to school here and I said no for a number of good reasons. The school is nationally accredited. It is better for a school to have a regional accreditation. Also, I read the blogs and other stuff on the website and they reminded me of what my kids put together in jr. high.The writing was really poor and very amateurish. We also know some of the students who go to school at Stratford and they are not very pleased with their classes or the quality of the teaching staff there. We are looking at other schools that can better serve us and where we will get out money's worth.

The place is horrible. I visited the campus with a friend and was totally unimpressed! The building smells so bad of BO and dirty diapers that it is almost unbearable. When I used the restroom a student chef and employee did not wash after they were finished.The dean did not even acknowledge my friend when we walked down the hall and everyone else student and employees were very unfriendly. My friend is in the Medical sciences program and is really worried about getting a job. My friend does feels that the teachers are not serious about teaching and really do not care about the students. We are in the same course of study (I go to a different school) and we both agree that I am getting a much better education and have much better chances of getting a job.

The previous review is right on the money. Very unprofessional for an academic institution. I did not want to read about Paris Jackson either and would have preferred to learn more about the school and how it applies its philosophies to the students. The written word and social media are such powerful tools. It is a shame that Stratford just wastes their value.

School is terrible. Wanted nursing program and all they have is an online program. Nursing should offer practical experience. I finally signed up for a medical program that is really BAD. The teachers are very unprofessional, not very smart and do not know how to teach. No one at school is very helpful. They don't understand that I am serious and am studying for a good job. At this time I do not think I will get one. The girl who helps with the resumes was not professional and did not make an effort to understand my circumstances. She talked down to me and did not help at all. Her attitude was I have a job and you are below me the whole time. At this time, I am glad I am graduating soon just to be done with the people at the school.

This place is awful. My teachers, who are all very "smart" know what they are suppose to teach but just can't teach. It is very hard to learn when then teachers cannot communicate what we need to learn. When we need help we are told to go to the Success Center..The girl there is more interested in talking to the librarian than helping us. I am graduating soon and went for help with my resume. The girl who is suppose to help me acted like I was a bother and is not very professional. There is nowhere to go to get what I need and there is no one to talk to about fixing things at the school. I spent a a lot of money to go to school here and feel I am not getting what I need. I am writing this because no one listens and helps at Stratford.

Be careful you do not get tricked into enrolling here. They only want your money and do not care what happens after they get it. Most of the teachers with all their education, may know their subjects but do not not know how to teach.The office people are not helpful and do not care. I am really worried about getting a better job after I graduate. I do not feel that Stratford is preparing me for anything better than what I have.

The whole school is a bad joke. My classes are not preparing me for anything except wasting a lot of money on tuition. At best, most my classes are below average. They do not prepare you for a job. I am graduating soon and went to get help with my resume. The assistant who helps with resumes could not have cared less and was useless. She just did not connect with my situation and seemed to want to do anything but help me. Two people I am friends with have had the same experience with this girl. We spend lots of money here and should be able to get what we need. I finally got help from a friend who got help with his resume at his school ( one like Stratford.) Maybe now I have a chance of getting a job. I am real disappointed with my education at Stratford and would not recommend it to anyone..

I was thinking about going to Sratford and visited the school. I was very disappointed. The people in the reception area were not friendly and the office smelled like someone threw up. The admissions person was late for our interview then kept trying to get me to sign up without fully understanding my situation. The tuition is expensive and I did not feel that my questions were answered. The admissions office smelled also. The building is very nice but was not clean and did not smell good. The restrooms were filthy and both a cooking student and employee did not wash their hands after finishing. I heard a student complain loudly about one of the teachers. He was really upset. The students in the classrooms looked bored nd so did everyone else. At the end of the day I decided to look at other schools. If Stratford wants to get more students they need to make some changes.

Used to love it here. Don't anymore. School is not welcoming and friendly anymore. No one has time or wants to help. Teachers are ok and at least talk to you. It is hard being from another country and not having help. I am glad I am graduating soon.

I attend Stratford and am very disappointed. The school is expensive and I am getting an average education. I am very worried that I will not be able to get a good job when I graduate. Also, the people who work there are not nice - or intersted in helping after they get there money. School costs alot so be sure you are getting what you pay for. I'm not.

Really liked our admissions person do not like the school. I am studying to get a good job. The teachers do not give me enough help when i need it outside of classes. Also, when went to get help with my resume the blond girl with Career Services seemed more interested in her Facebook and phone than me. I am graduating soon and need help!!!

I go to Stratford and it is ok. I like my classes. Some of the teachers are ok. the library is not real good. Not much to read. The librarians do not speak good English and do not help..Other schools have better libraries.

I go to Stratford. I started school in the summer. Going to school there is the biggest mistake. They don't care. They take our money and than forget who you are. I can never find anyone to help with my homework. No one is around when there are no classes. If you find them they is always too busy or talking in their office. The office people do not care, you have to wait a long time to talk to financial aid or someone about my classes.They cant be busy since they go out side a lot. One day I waited and waited in the office to talk to the lady about my classes. She and women who worked there went out two times while I sat there. I left. When you call they never answer the phone and never call back. I am looking for a new place to go to school where people will care.
