Reviews

Since relocating to the Twin Cites, I have had a difficult time finding a chiropractor who is really great -- well rounded with a very deep understanding both conceptually and technically how the body functions. I've even for the first time, had a chiropractor behave inappropriately with me and I reported him to the board. The common denominator? They all were graduates of this school. 

I have been going to chiropractors for over 25 years and have been a strong advocate for the practice, but this for-profit school has left me with a bad taste in my mouth for the practice in general. After my experience as a student here, I feel like the school is a scam, and the whole industry is a scam. 

Since I have been a bodyworker for about 15 years, am ver familiar with working with people in pain in a healthcare capacity and have been told by many chiropractors that I would be a great one, I had applied many years ago to LifeWest Chiropractic college in Hayward, CA, but the reality was that I was paying nearly $2000 per month for rent, so It was not until I relocated I relocated to MN that I could afford to actually go. 

I applied, was accepted to the program, which was accelerated and very intense. 

I found that the student-facing staff (in student affairs and even the school counselor) have terrible communication skills -- they make very inappropriate judgmental statements and refuse to apologize or own it when called out on it (hint: a little apology and ownership of your mistakes is a huge bridgebuilder). 

Policies are bent and overlooked arbitrarily for students they favor and the administration becomes very rigid and inflexible to students they don't. I saw more than one kid who just partied through their very intense first trimester, failed and then were given a second chance, while others who worked hard, studied, didn't drink and failed were dismissed from the Chiropractic program and told they needed to take more classes. There is very clear bias and if you dare talk about it, everyone on the student body knows it. 

I would not recommend this program unless you are either just out of high school or undergrad, are very stereo typically Minnesotan (blonde? Even BETTER!), Passive aggressive?  This is your school! It also apparently is not sufficient to be a good Chiropractor -- no wonder the quality here in the Twin Cities is not high!

I'm done with the rampant dysfunction and will be going somewhere that people are at least a little interested in being emotionally healthy. 

As a final mention: my comments are not about the teachers. The ones I had were great. Very human and supportive. They're just doing their job and teaching, from what I could see. It's the administration that is the problem.

As my friend who taught at UMN med school said, “it sounds like they’re trying to be a real university, but they’re not quite getting it."

Great place.  Why would you say they are closed on Fridays?  They are open Fridays and a lot of Saturdays from 12:30 to 3.
