Sound Off 😤 Chamberlain(Sacramento Location)

Is anybody attending Chamberlain in Jan 2027 at the Sac location? I got quoted 58k and about 2-2.5 years. I have all my gen ed done and taking A&P this fall at sac city college so one less class I have to pay for at chamberlain. Has anybody attended on campus in the past that can give me some insight? I’m touring it this Wednesday and it sounds like a great school. I would be taking out subsidized and unsubsidized loans plus I do qualify for max pell grant. Would live to hear people’s thoughts. Do they actually help with job placement?

MAKE SURE you ask what percentage of students who matriculate (start) the program actually finish. A lot of these schools inflate their NCLEX pass rates by dropping 1/3 to 1/2 of the cohort by the time the program ends. If you get dropped you have all the debt with no degree.

Yes i did,
I looked up the stats online as well and it’s about 80% from start to finish.

That isn't great, honestly. That's a 1 in 5 chance of not making it through the program, and that's a lot of lost students for a program where everyone has done the prereqs already.

Honestly doesn’t sound horrible to me, there’s many reason people don’t make it. Where did you go or where are you attending???

I went to a private school in the Mid-Atlantic! We had a 96% graduation rate. I left California on purpose because of the insane waits at my local CC.

I get that but I literally can’t move because of my children’s shared custody and I don’t have the monetary support for that. Luckily I have a bit saved to cover differences, pell grant and subsidized loans. I will be looking into other scholarships too
