Baker College of Cadillac

I like the small class size, and I love our Nursing faculty. All of my professors have been wonderful to work with, and very informative. I love our opportunities for clinical times, and community service. However, over the last few years though, they have made some changes that include bringing the local continuation/alternative high school into the same campus. They were given a whole wing (which in an already small campus was a significant amount of space), and our student lunch area is basically their cafeteria now. If we have break during their lunch, they unplug the vending machines, so we are not able to access them until the high school is done. Our food service is based on their school schedule. If they do not have class, we have no on campus options. It is very frustrating when we spend so much to attend, and we cant even get a soda from the vending machine. If it was this way when I started, I would have gone elsewhere.

Baker college really needs to get their poop in a group. Seems like there is always something wrong while attending Baker. They dont make things easy at all. Classes are a pain to attend because they never have them at decent times for full time workers. I believe Bakers motto is to work around the needs of the student... I call bull****.

Overall, it isn't a bad school to go to. Tuition rates are reasonable for being in district. Class sizes are small, which is a bonus; however, due to low enrollments, some classes have been forced off campus and to online courses. Online courses are 6 weeks long and provide little enrichment.

I was stalked and harassed by one of the welding instructors, while the staff turned a blind eye. Stay far away from this school.

Baker College of Cadillac is a non-traditional, career based school that allows flexability and balance.

Baker College of Cadillac is unquie because it is one school in my area that caters to the non-traditional student. Baker allows me to work full time, have time for my family and attend classes on my schedule.

Go to school, get a job; this is what most high school students of my generation were taught was the correct order of things. My younger self wasn’t built for college right out of high school. If I could go back I would tell Katie that she doesn’t have to fit the standard, don’t go to college because your friends are or your parents told you too. Go find a job get some experience in the real world, figure out who you are as a person and find the things that you are truly passionate about. Start college when you are ready and have the experience to support the decision that you chose to make.
