For bed bugs if present. Get some tea tree oil. Spray around bed, feet of bed and sheets. You can mix with half olive oil. Should spray a small spot first to make sure you have no allergic reactions.

Very supportive and friendly staffs, a huge campus and diversity get ready to be challenged. But if you keep doing the right things, keep your head and hope up, things will go the way you expect. I was the only immigrant who lived far from home, I was lucky enough to find the right people to learn and grow both personalities and academically. Staffs know the culture and respect diversity.

Excellent learning facility!!!! Trowel Breed!!! Lol Bricky4Life!!! Lol jk... the trowel trades are top notch in my book!!!

HR is a joke and it’s a lot of favoritism there; especially with the Directors and Managers. They allow staff to break COVID rules just because they like them without being terminated. Place is a mess and going down hill. There are hardly any students there and staff quits every other week.

I gave them a honest try back in Summer 2009 when I signed up, went to Paul Simon because I lived on the East Side of Chicago and my mom would pick me up or bring me stuff on the weekends no fuss. I had just turned 21 when I started there. It was fun for me, while I was enrolled they sent me on an 6-week internship to Washington DC with the Department of Labor at their HQ. Total fun in my book. They had me staying at the Potomac campus. DC was great, even had fun in Maryland all at their expense!I got sick so I couldn’t complete the CST program but I did get my GED through them, so that was cool and I met so many interesting people from all over the country. Never noticed bed bugs or mice per the other reviews but the gang and sexual activity I did see for sure. It’s a mixed bag going there, I do believe that in order to make it through whatever program you signed up for, you MUST avoid getting too personal with other students and staff, and study your chosen field religiously. I wasn’t super popular but was liked by most of the people I met there.One of my sisters went to their Greenwood, Indiana campus a few years later, she actually completed the program. I also have a cousin who did the same at another location, so you can make it if you put in the work!All of the negative folks need to stop bashing the place. They don’t have to take you in, and can kick you out just as fast as they do. It gave me the confidence to go anywhere and work with anyone, cross country and all!

Great place to go to get a education and help you get a job.

The most amazing place to get ahead! Stay focused & don’t get into drama. Always be true to yourself. The staff is great! They are hard on you because they actually care. If I could go back, I would. Staying on campus wasn’t so bad! I met great people & I’m still connected to them including staff! It’s the perfect place when you feel you have nothing left! Go there with your game face on & take advantage of every amazing opportunity they have to offer because there are plenty!! For those with negative comments are the ones that failed themselves, not job corps doing so. It is up to you to want greater. It’s your life not theirs.

I thought it was going to be amazing that I get to start my first three weeks. But no, the staff wont let you go anywhere. During the day they wont let you go anywhere. It feels like a trap. The food is greasy, fried, and not fresh. You have a choice to become vegetarian and vegan. But it still not healthy. If youre planning to stay residencial, lock your closet, buy a lock for your bed drawers. Your roommates will steal from you. The trips to the stores are limited only in that area. Its like a playground, but for grown ups. If youre determined enough, you could get out of there quickly within just a few months.

Job Corps​ is not really a bad place.. To be honest I actually love Job Corps I have met some wonderful people there. Everything is given to you for free, so why not take advantage of this free opportunity all you really have to do is stay to yourself and follow directions. Plain and simple 💯💯

Im currently enrolled in Paul Simon Job Corps and its a horrible campus. The school itself is a good program but the dorms and campus are the complete opposite. The South dorms which is for girls are infested with mice. You will have to fill the holes yourself with your own socks and what not. Theres mice droppings in your beds, on your blankets, pillows, and clothes. The North dorms are for boys and has ants. While the West dorms which is both male and females is infested with bed bugs. The staff know about these issues but do nothing about it. If one person in your room doesnt clean or get in trouble, then you would have to pay the price, too. The guys just want to get in your parents and the girls just want to start rumors and drama. You will need to provide your own hand soap and a lot of other supplies, too. The RAs and other staff members are completely rude to you even when you do nothing wrong. The food is awful, dog food would taste better than what they serve you. Word of advice, if you plan to go here dont be residential. Youll be very disappointed and depressed.

I went here for a certain study, the computer service tech. It was completely awful, teachers do nothing, staff are rude. On top of that my ps4 was stolen while attending, i was promised a new one and they even showed me they had the money. But still, a year later, they dont return calls or acknowledge the fact i tried to get my stuff back after they said they replace it. By the way, i know a few of the reviewers and they are all right to give this place the 1 start, it should receive lower but google wont allow 0 star reviews

The learning side of this facility is great. I am currently enrolled in this center and its great ,but the students here are awful and disrespectful. I stick to myself and Im doing just fine. If you decide to come here dont try to make friends with anyone ,but with the ones that will help you do better.

Get your education and get out of here.ProsFree food and roomFree educationFree money for hygiene essentialsFree uniformsFree mental health supportConsGhetto students who choose to bring other down with themRoommates steal everything including underwearPeople are lazy students and some staffsDont get into a relationship unless youre on with being cheated on with multiple partnersThey have a early curfew to come in the dorms and lights out around 10pmTheres no maintenance team for dorms so you have to do all the repairs yourselfResidential advisors (RA) can be on your side on against you

Went better 19 years ago, was the 1st graduating class, it was great back then, taking some reviews sounds like it went to hell

Went to Paul Simon job corps experience wasnt bad got in and out because I did what I needed to do all I can say the bad about it is when complete and look for other half of check take 2 months and the ppl that suppose to keep up with u call u once I had to stalk the lady for my check I lived in south dorms and west yes there at mice but didnt experience bed bugs in west the program it self is great staff just want the best from you really the big problem was mice in lunch room killed my whole vibe but I loved my experience there love the ppl I met gain so much experience and great life long friends

Its been a good experience. But Im still waiting on my stuff. Its been since OCTOBER! Ive contacted everyone and nobody seems to handle the situation. Thats over $150 worth of stuff that I havent gotten in the mail yet! Ok so update: WHERE IN THE HELL IS MY HHA CERTIFICATE?! Ive been calling records for MONTHS now and I still didnt get it. I cant get a job because yall failed to give me what I needUpdate number 2: as of June 18, 2018 Ms. Alday said that I dont have a HHA Certificate on record. So she made it seem like I waste my time. Im honestly so disappointed.i hate that I wasted my time in this facility.

If You Have A Goal That Your Focused On, Then You Will Reep All Of Benifits . Just come to better yourself !

Its not what people say it is. THEY ACT AS IF BECAUSE STUDENT RECIEVE ROOM AND BOARD WITH MEALS, so they dont have to provide anything else. Its all about keeping high enrollment for the numbers so they can keep a high budget. I wouldnt be surprised if some of the money was being used for personal reasons.

Im planning on going here this year.stay in campus and all.. but I hate rodents, bugs, and SPECIALLY bed bugs....... does anyone who go here can tell me how clean it is???!!!! and how many roommates is there? SOMEONE HMU!fb: Alexandria Mona Delano

Im here right now and i stay on the campus, the staff is nice but I want to believe this place is good ad I want to finish the program but I havent been able to sleep because theres mice running around because of holes in the walls and my skin is itchy because of the sheets they have no matter how many times I wash them, everybody has a different experience but this is just mine and Im not happy about it!!!!!!! 😠😠

Hey I just completed this month on the 6 and I leave on the 14 this job corp center is what you make of it there are somethings that I dont like you cant go to the bathroom room when every you want they make you wait outside in the morning when its cold !!! And some of the trades arnt what they seem in other word you might not learn anything in some trades and of course the ingrent students the ones that dont Care but besides that this place ant so bad if you focus on your goals and stay out of trouble some students are preaty cool here also if you come here to get your high school make sure you dont get room 131 oh god you will know why if you get that room besides all this your job corp s experience is what you choose to make of it

My Experience Had Its Ups And Downs I Came Into Job Corps Hard With A Mindset Only On My Goals. I Was 1 Of 6 Girls ( The First All Girl Group ) I Came With 6 Girls On My First Day My Day 1s Seen They Wasnt On What I Was On So I Stayed to myself then one of my day 1s became my bestfriend and sister still till this day our heads was on straight. We picked the same trade . . . . . Im going into to much 💯.. All I Gotta Say Is STAY ON TRACK THE KIDS ARE FULL OF DRAMA EVEN ....EVEN ..... EVEN Those Female Teachers Dont Talk To Nobody But Your Fav. Teacher Who Dont Talk To Much TRUST That The Hard Trade Teachers Want You To Succeed More Than Anybody !!!

I love being at job corps I was nonresident and I really didnt talk to nobody but staff bcuz them girls are messy

Took a field trip with my school for a tour. I read the reviews witch say their facility is infested with bed bugs and 3 days later I got bed bugs. I was introduce into the boys dorms, once we when in a lot of gang activity was going on. One of the teachers told us he dint care about the students he just wanted to get paid. The programs sound great but not the place.

Mannnn when I was on camp the food was good, staff and all was cool but one of the Ras was a dick.! But I got my HSD a Forklife License and Certification. Became the President and Advanced Leadership and got a Certificate, however it is people that would try n destroye your dreams... But thats your choice💯 I Was getting 5Star everything there n for that ima give them a 5star rate.

I plan on going here in a few months for my RN can anyone tell me what to expect..im sure ill fit in great, but i am not with the drama nor the bug, mice shii

My son has been fasley accused of somethimg he did not do and is being sent home . His cell phone has been stolen , towels have been stolen , food that he has brought there has been eaten by others the place needs to be investigated

If they dirty then Im not goin. Is there anyone that goes there now have any problems

I graduated in this program on November last year. During my enrollment taking CST (computer service technician) it was terrible. All my peers in the classroom had one thing in common and that was lack of hands on experience; we were learning from a book that you can purchase. The instructor, Mrs. Murks, did everything she could to teach, but Paul Simon Job Corps dont have the equipment we needed. If you are reading this and want to take CST, do not bother because its a waste of time.

The ppl who work there were very friendly and helpful abt getting new ppl started,,,,,,, cant wait to start!!!

Worst job corps center on earth. Dont ever come here you will end getting nothing in the long run. Trust me!

Locked down dumpy place... I originally went to this facility to gain some education about the computer field. The classes were excelent but the center life was horrible and it felt more like a jail than a so called campus as the center director put it. theres fights there every night after the classes and thefts are extremely common. sexual activity in the dormatories as well as gang activity was a norm and spread of bed bugs and sexual transmitted diseases. I stayed for seven months until I found out that my instructor fell ill and was not coming back. the north and south buildings are really really bad the west building where i resided was the better of the three. I left wen they started warning us that there were bed bugs in our building.

You do one little wrong thing and the whole staff attacks you. Dont bother calling in the morning no one answers. But it looks like if you do the right amount of ass kissing and just dont receive the attitude there giving you then you can graduate no problem.

It was alright but most of the kids there was bad everyday someone always getting packed out and the food was nasty but some days it was good most of the teachers was cool and some was mean treating us like we was in high school the dorms had rats it was so disgusting I was happy when I left

Focus on what youre there for and go make money. people come here getting side tracked and easily packed out

Job Corps. Complete as fast as you want, at the pace we set for you.

Their staff is horrible my child has been bullied no one step up and did their job they will kick you out over the most pettiest reason

I there right now the trade is wonderful but the kid is terrible stay to yourself and do not make friends stay to yourself drama drama drama they have a high STD rate in that school it nasty and the kid is crazy they dont listen at all

Very beneficial to my son.

Its ok Im here now I hate the RA they got big ass attitudes like fr you dont see me getting a Attitude

I went here and graduated I had a lot of fun times and made lots of crazy people

Is this place still infested with bed bugs and mice?

To many thiefs and if you get your stuff stolen they wont do anything about it.

The reviews say it all.

The staff is always using their cell. Lol.

Someone should probably take a sledgehammer to Paul Simon School 😉

Its Free!!! Cant beat that!!!

It good

Do you really have 4 room mates?

Are they still infested?
