Vista College Killeen, | Fees, Rankings, Address, Admission, Vacancies, Reviews & More

It is really a shame how the college is run. Staff seems to care more about drinks and food in the classroom than what actually is going on in the class. If they put as much effort into making these classes better as they do with the food/ drink/ uniform policies we would have students receiving a much better education for their money. Career services has been less than helpful. I have given up trying to get help because the time I spend looking for their help is better used just helping myself. Front office has managed to lose my transcripts twice and then they look at you as if it is not their issue. The front office staff are only really helpful if you are enrolling, after you are in as a student they are harder to reach if you have questions unless of course you had to miss a day or are late on a payment. The instructors for the most part are amazing and they really do care about the students. Their ability to teach and to care unfortunately gets overshadowed by the other parts of this school that times their hands.

My experience with Vista College has been one headache after another. I did get the pleasure of meeting and learning from some amazing teachers from the dental program, however some classmates of mine were highly unprofessional and seemed to fight and bicker a lot with one another, which does make it hard to focus and concentrate on the actual learning. The Vista Killeen staff do dress pretty provocative considering the school is supposed to be a place of learning. Also, if you are interested in a Dental Program, the program Vista offers is way over priced compared to other schools that offer this program, by a fraction of the cost. I would not recommend this school if you are a person like myself, who paid out of pocket for schooling.

The teachers are amazing, but the financial aid department is very hard to get in contact with. I live in Gatesville, so it’s better to call than to drive 45 minutes to talk to financial aid. On several occasions, I called the school to speak with financial aid, and every time I called, no one answered. One time I actually had to drive to the school to talk to someone, because it was important. Also, when I got a student loan, my student account showed that my loan was credited to my ledger and was told that it should be in my account on a Friday. I never got it so I had to email a different department to find out that I wouldn’t even get my loan until the next semester. Other than that, I like the school and programs provided.
