Wayne County Community College District Downtown Campus - Detroit, Michigan

The low ratings that this school has received are well deserved. Seeing is believing. The financial aid office is the worst (this is the downtown campus). I'm surprised that no one has been fired (and that is the problem). One of the people who work in that office is only going to tell you that he is not there to help because the office is "self serve". His job apparently is to point to the sign, that he made, stating that. On my second visit I had to listen, for more than a half hour, to them complaining about a student who they felt was problematic because the student labeled them racist. The self-serve sign pointer's response was " she doesn't know what she is talking about because we treat black people bad too, probably worse". I also had no choice but to ask a woman who worked in the office for help. The first thing that came out of her mouth was "ain't no body going to help you every time you need to get into your account ". She was apparently annoyed that I was interrupting their conversation about the problematic students complaint. I hated the fact that I needed her assistance. The financial aid office is a disaster with the exception of one individual. Before any of this, when I needed help finding the office I was inconvenienced by a woman who worked for the school. She was standing close to the office when I asked for the room number. But, she insisted that I go around the corner for directions. It made no sense whatsoever.

This my first semester at wc3 and when I say this school is trash af I’m so serious. It’s virtually impossible to get ahold of your instructor once you leave their class. Faculty is rude when it comes to helping you. I’ve been in classes since aug 26th and have a financial hold for no attendance but I’ve beenn to class. You better off going online because it’s the same thing. It just no help available when you need it

A "situation" waiting to happen! The pictures are what is supposed to be a clear and safe walkway.

I tell someone (I guess in charge) about the situation, and all HE wants to do is appear to be UNCONCERNED and states that HE saw the "maintenance crew" put salt out. Well, guess what? It looks ? like YOU missed this!
Do ANYONE see a SAFE situation within the pictures?

This is by far the worst place to try to get information.

When students call for information regarding their account, it states to call student accounts.
NO ONE answers the phone. Students are asked to leave a message. Students leave several messages over a period of time, and NO ONE returns calls.

Students are to graduate and NEED information to help students.

We go in person to speak with someone in students' services. The people at the downtown campus were nice. We called the number that was given (District Financial Aid), and the person (male) that answered the phone was no help and rude.

He stated that he would pass the information along and when asked how long it will take? No answer. He was reminded that there are 34 days left for the semester. He was asked 30, 45, or 90 days? or 2 weeks or 3 days? Still no answers.

Students call to get answers, and students get sent from place to place.

WCCCD needs to make an area for student accounts. Maybe if there's a section for them, students can receive faster information.

Disclaimer: Not all staff are HORRIBLE. Those who are HORRIBLE make it harder for the ones who do ASSIST students.

There should be a list of the staff members who go above and beyond. To be HONORED.

The HORRIBLE staff's picture needs to be posted on a wall.

A great institution for higher education and certificate training programs. They've also just opened a new entrepreneurship center @ the downtown campus!

Honestly, I don’t see how they have a 3 star rating unless the administration office is making accounts and rating this school higher than 1 star. This is by far the WORST community college ever created. Each and ever administration worker are not informative or helpful. The academic advisor discourage students from engaging in taking more than 4 classes, and are only there to make money. Shannon the vice president at the eastern campus is rude and disrespectful. I heard her talking to a student very poorly with unprofessional behavior. Yet, she is still working here and calling shots, because there are many people like her working at the Eastern campus. Personally, I’ve always felt that women do not deserve to be in such high positions considering they are emotionally triggered easily. PLEASE Stay far way from this school, this semester they charged every student $265 for cengage when the subscription is $140-$160 for every 4 months. This school is cheap because it contains many discombobulated, disorganized and dysfunctional black people working here for money. Stay far away from this school if you want to be somewhere in life. Also, most of the professors they hire are HORRIBLE. Danita Woods is also a disrespectful professor who competes with her students. On the day the class had an exam, she cut the class 3 hours short meaning we only had 1 hour to do our exam. Deolis Allen is the ONLY great professor who you will actually learn something from. WCCCD hire these international professors who can barley speak English which makes it hard for you to learn and understand the material. Please take my advice, I am a student fresh out of high school and been attending here ever since. I had to drop out of here because this school was a waste of my time and energy. Also, accounts receivable who do the refund does a horrible job!

The professors I've had have been really great so far and school is cheapish. The financial aid office is an absolute joke and such a burden to deal with, long wait times and bad additudes make me can't wait to finish this program.

Worst college I ever attended. Staff rarely show up for work or answer the phones, the professors behave like they don't care about their job, and the financial aid office has messed up my aid so many times, I had lost hundreds of dollars for college.
I do NOT recommend.

This is the WORST school I have attended ever! When you have an issue and you wanna see the president, they neither let you see him nor help you with your issue. I'm not sure what's the point of having him in the office. I made a mistake when I decided to move to this college. Staff is so rude and unprofessional( ghetto) even though I was very kind and respectful. Financial Aid is a whole different story, there are no actual Financial aid office what a shame, and they tell you to call one of different phone numbers; when you call a sleepy girl answer that she has no clue what Financial Aid is, she asks you to leave your phone number and name and they will call you back and they won't! Now I can't even keep attending classes here. I'm dropping all the classes and going to a better place! DON'T MAKE THE WORST MISTAKES BY CHOOSING THIS COLLEGE!
