Rating: 1/5 I attended Midwest College (Racine/Skokie campuses) thinking I was investing in a legitimate acupuncture and herbal medicine education.

If you are a student, there are better schools but this one is good for if you need a schedule you can plan work around (I haven't had a weekday class yet but clinic is on weekdays and you can go two shifts on one day a week) or if you want the admin to basically not care/communicate much here you go. I don't think I've ever ... read more
