Don't let the teachers get you down, especially in the BIO and nursing courses. Keep your nose in the books and stay under the radar. Also for the love of GOD, never rely on the adjuncts..well 77% of them anyway.

Great School! Awesome Teachers.
Bad reviews
Overall 1.4
Please look at ALL options before entering the nursing program here. The instructors are poor educators at best and the adjunct professors are unprofessional and consistently harass the students. If you bring this harassment to the attention of department heads, your journey will become difficult at best.

Here is what is good about Drake -the english teachers are awesome (forbes and wynn) cannot recommend them enough -they keep the grass neat Here is what sucks -they mow the grass and leaf blow the parking lot during class time and it is super loud and distracting -Mrs. Rentz she is rude and will not help you without insulting you -
