not what is advertised
I really wish I had reviewed my options before I decided to go with Berkeley College (no not UC Berkeley). The level of education was ok, I don't think it was the worst and it certainly wasn't the best. Since I took all my classes online the degree of difficutly was a little higher than campus classes. What really aggravates me is the amount of money this school costs (even with grants and scholarships it's kind of ridiculous) and the fact they don't live up to their supposed reputation.
I graduated in March 2010, with honors and worked very hard for each and every quarter I made into the Dean/President's List. I can't seem to find one job in marketing, that's right the little job placement speech they give you is a load of crap. The person at job placement was nice enough but since going there in April, i've not heard one peep from them. I look in their job board and it's literally slim pickings. I'm so dissapointed, especially when my loan payments started coming due. I love marketing and I want to be working in a marketing function but the "Berkeley Advantage" is non-existent in getting you a job.
I can't completely discredit them because I had some really amazing teachers, that were tough but fair. I was also able to study full time and go to work full time. I just wish their name was actually reputable with employers and that with their education I could actually get a good job.
To any potential students, please weigh your options very carefully because there might be local colleges/universtities that are probably more affordable and have a better reputation. Most colleges/universities are now offering more night time and online classes believe it or not many come out to be more affordable than Berkeley. Just do your homework before enrolling in any school!

TAKING ADVANTAGE
Do not choose this school if you expect a positive response from prospective employers. Do not attend Berkeley College (Berkeley College of Business) if you want anything more than a "crackerjack" education for an inflated price. I spent four years of my life at this school, primarily due to my schedule and home life. The only thing I can about Berkeley is the scheduling was okay. I am a mother of three with a great husband, we all have negative things to say about Berkeley. The accounting classes in West Paterson were taught by "The Remedios Clan" and a very small number of classes related to accounting were taught by some on and off professionals. The Remedios team was a husband and wife that were overworked and consistant with bringing the "outside issues" into the school. I can remember a terrible incident when Mrs. Remedios gave a student an "F" as an error. Mrs. Remedios was out of line and a few of the students, including myself, didn't want to call her on it due to the possible backlash in the future. The issue came about when the final exam was returned. The exam had a deadline of 6:30pm on the last day of school, yet Mrs. Remedios said to the student, "I didn't say that, you are mistaken and it was actually earlier". The class was scheduled from 6 pm until 9:30pm, She was still in the class when the student returned, still she didn't accept the test. It was a mistake on her part, but she never admitted it, the student went to the Accounting Board and all the members sided with Remedios. At that point, I realized that the student didn't matter. The student would pay again, plus for Berkeley, the teacher would most likely be Mrs. Remedios, plus for her, and the student probably would not make it do to the extra cost on tuition among other things; not a problem. The student went through so much hardship and anguish that she had to drop out. My issues with Berkeley come down to high cost for unreliable education.

Stay away from them!
Staff is rude, they never return phone calls, do no know how to answer questions and the credits I earned did not transfer to Bergen Community College. Only 7 of 21 credits transfered. I got a B+ in English Comp I at Berkley, but no one will accept the credit and I had to take it over at Bergen CC. TWO of Berkeley's English (I and II) equals only ONE of Bergen's. It's sick! And I'm actually happy I had to take English over again, I learned a lot that Berkeley never touched on. Their training is horrible, and no one will accept them. I wasted my time and money going to Berkeley. Please do not waste your time or energy with them. Or money...they are super expensive. Listen to the negative rumors - they are true!

Rude Staff
The staff at this college are ridiculous, even the dean herself. They are the most unhelpful, uninsightful, ignorant group of human beings I have ever had the displeasure of dealing with. They love wasting your time and helping you get absolutely nothing done. They will do anything and everything in their power to shower with praises to lure you in. Once you're in, good luck trying to get out! You cannot make a single move without having to go through a handful of ridiculous steps. Just let us register! Why do we have to go through 4 and 5 steps just to get into the classes we want and pay? The staff is absolutely horrible. Every time I have to deal with those ignorant animals I am almost driven to tears, that's how bad it is. I've only been there a year and it keeps getting worse. They do not call you back, or answer your emails, or do anything to help you, really. If anybody is looking into Berkeley College, do yourself a favor- RUN!
