The school seemed like a good idea at the time. However, the funding and constant turnover of staff has brought the level of education and support way down. When issues arise and you have to go to higher ups there is no support given to the student and the ball is often dropped leaving the student hanging in limbo. Overall worst decision.

I have attended and graduated 2 colleges previous to starting Dowling. I am HIGHLY disappointed in the way this college is run. I have been poorly advised by graduate advisors, not informed of changes in locations of classes, have been waiting 3 weeks now for a return call from the head of the child study department (not acceptable) etc. Can go on
