I would say what I enjoyed the most about Ross was the convenience of doing everything online. Not having to worry so much about scheduling my home, work, and school life. I could get up early in the morning or stay up late and still access my studies and do my homework.

I can honestly say that enrolling in the Medical Insurance Billing and Office Administration program at Ross Medical has changed my life for the better.

The reasons I love Ross are they have flexible hours and they make you feel welcome. Our Director, Mr. B, is really supportive and really cares about the students and staff. My instructor, Mrs. Michelle, is amazing. She brings her real life experiences in her dental office and teaches us beyond a book. She shows us the skills we need and I feel like I'm ready to go out and succeed. She has become my mentor. I will always recommend Ross.
