University Driving School

Fantastic experience: Honestly the experience was 5 stars , I had a good experience with the driving lesson today , now im off to schedule my license with the university of driving school.

Negative experience: Place is shitty not worth your money at all then when u fail they still feel the need to keep charging you to take the test with them

Fantastic experience: So lucky to have my son taking driving lessons with so kind and professional staff I would rate it 10 stars. Recommended 100% they answered all my questions without hesitation...

Fantastic experience: I reply enjoyed my experience here. They have helped me learn the rules of the road in an informative way. If you want to put your kids in driving school I would definitely recommend the University Driving School.

Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend taking lessons at University Driving School whether you are a first time driver (like I was many years ago) or as an adult (also like me making this my second time as one of their students) and could use a refresh of the rules of the road and what is expected of you during the road test. My instructor's name was Dave and not only did he make me feel comfortable and at ease but he was also extremely knowledgeable. Needless to say I passed and I honestly don't believe I could have done it without Dave's help so thank you!

Fantastic experience: I like the experience it’s been good times sense I started I appreciate all the help can’t wait to get my license

Fantastic experience: Currently taking my driving lessons on the road, and it’s going great, i love practicing with my instructor, everytime i do i know it’s a step closer to my license and i can’t wait.

Negative experience: I’m sharing my concerns to help others avoid the same frustrations. From the start, the instructor named Kim (I believe her name was Kim, don’t quote me) was extremely passive-aggressive and unnecessarily rude. She often made jokes about how people disliked her, which only added to the uncomfortable atmosphere in the classroom. The technology and materials used for teaching were severely outdated. We relied on a VCR that frequently malfunctioned, causing significant delays in our lessons, and the textbooks provided were extremely out of date. This outdated approach made the whole experience feel very unprofessional and frustrating. Professionalism was another major issue at this school. During one lesson, a random dog wandered into the classroom, distracting everyone and making it difficult to focus. Additionally, the phone rang numerous times during class, and the workers just let it ring without answering, further disrupting the session. These interruptions were not only unprofessional but also set a poor example for the students. The lack of communication and respect from the staff was particularly disheartening. It's been almost four months since I completed the lesson part of the class and passed the test. We were told that the instructor would contact us for the on-road portion, but despite repeated inquiries, I have yet to hear anything. While I acknowledge that my mother missed the parent portion of the class, this delay is excessive and unacceptable. The lady in the front lied and said she called but I never got a call/ text. When I tried to address this with the owner, Dave, he was extremely disrespectful and showed no understanding of the situation. Overall, this driving school was highly unprofessional and poorly managed. The combination of rude staff( excluding one of the staff I don’t appreciate him, I believe his name is Jake, again don’t quote me) , outdated materials, and lack of communication made for an incredibly frustrating and disappointing experience. I would not recommend this school to anyone.

Fantastic experience: Amazing people, i started off at AAA driving school only to find out i couldn’t book onroads until the summer. I called University and they helped out right away, I got in in TWO WEEKS!!! Amazing driving school definitely recommended! I have David as an instructor and he’s a wonderful teacher/driver as well. I learned a lot already.

Fantastic experience: My experience at this driving school was great! All instructors helped me throughout the learning experince, Ive learned many techniques that were indeed helpful. I would recommend

Fantastic experience: Great people and amazing driving lessons. Highly recommend. Dave was my instructor and was very pleasant and helped me get my license easily.

Fantastic experience: Great experience! David is my driving Instructor. I am very happy with how my road lessons have been and I have learned so much. Highly recommend for those looking for a driving school!

Negative experience: Despite only having three private lessons with this school, every negative review on here that mentions the owner David are very much true.

Negative experience: The owner David is veryyyyy rude, doesnt know how to teach , he scared my wife that she had to change to another driving school !!!

Negative experience: The owner is extremely rude and doesn't know how to talk to people. Talks about all of his students and driving schools. Doesn't make you feel comfortable because he's almost always in a bad mood. Go to a school that has patients and compassion. Driving happens at your own pace not of the instructor.

Positive experience: Good place actually Dave was funny but really has a no mouth filter lol good help on my parallel parking thats all went my way with out an instructor nd passed! Just three classes

Positive experience: My driver instructor Jake was the best instructor ever he is very patient very keen on touching things that need to be done with the driving test itself I appreciate him very much he's one of the best driving instructors

Negative experience: David has awful customer service skills and was not polite. Do not recommend. Find somewhere else to spend your money. I would give them a zero if Googled allowed.

Fantastic experience: Excellent driving school! It was a great experience! Dave was excellent at giving me a refresher on the road and kept the conversation light and funny and I enjoyed the camaraderie. I passed my license retake exam the first try and was so relieved and thankful and glad I signed up for two driving lessons, one the same morning right before the road exam! Thank you University Driving School!

Fantastic experience: Great driving school that covers alot of topics that are needed for following courses along with this a great and friendly staff that really prioritizes their students.

Fantastic experience: Great experience!! Sent my child there this week and she came over every day with new knowledge learned. Very grateful for this experience because I know she’ll carry it with her every time she gets behind the wheel. My daughter had Dave And Kim as her teachers the week she went and I have heard nothing but positive things about them, not only as people but as instructors. I feel comfortable in knowing I made the right decision with where to send her. Big thumbs up!

Fantastic experience: this driving school is excellent i ended up only doing five days of school because i decided to do it over spring break and i thought it was gonna be a drag, turns out this place is a absolute blast i learned what i needed to while we had fun and enjoyed ourselves i would recommend this place if you are looking for a driving school!

Negative experience: Don’t do it. David is the owner and is extremely unprofessional and berating. If you’re a grown man, maybe he will be nicer to you. He charges $85 a lesson to have you practice driving while he screams at you, aggressively grabs the wheel with no explanation, and talks down on you. Let alone he texts the entire time as if he can’t get fined for that especially with him being an instructor. For any parents considering this school for your kids please do not do it. Especially not your daughters. He is very inappropriate and he wonders why he’s the only driver he has anymore. You will not learn a single thing i can garuntee you that much.

Fantastic experience: Great friendly instructors who always remind students of safe driving skills. 3 children went there and all got their driver's licenses on their first try. This year I will be registering my youngest for driver's ed.

Negative experience: Worst experience ever here. It’s because I basically paid only to get insulted and talked down to over and over again. Thankfully I had Jake, a nicer instructor, for a little while. But Dave can really be a rude, berating, impatient, irritable, insulting person to have beside you while trying to learn. He’s great at making you feel uncomfortable and stupid. Oh, and yeah, I absolutely did not succeed here. I didn’t even realize how poorly I was being treated until I switched to a different driving school, where I was finally treated with respect and dignity.

Fantastic experience: A very good driving school for anyone learning to drive the teachers and instructors are top notch they actually enjoy what they do. Kim is the Goat though.

Fantastic experience: Very friendly. Very interactive,will answer any questions. Has a great way of learning. Instructor Kim is very down to earth and isn't afraid of having fun.

Fantastic experience: We need more Kim she’s one of the best instructors and always does her best to encourage us to learn more

Fantastic experience: I had a great instructor named Jake who helped me feel comfortable driving behind the wheel and helped me with everything that I needed work on. He was able to schedule a lesson before my road test and I was able to pass on the first try ! Im grateful that I had a great instructor who made sure I was ready before taking my test :).

Negative experience: I would rate 0 if I could. instructors make you uncomfy and are rude. I had Jake who was the most normal one there. Should've gotten my license almost 3 months ago but the appointment keeps getting pushed back for whatever reason. Never fail to make me upset and angry waiting. don't choose this school. They tell us to give them 5 star ratings aswell in exchange for a reward.

Positive experience: I like being here and learning, it's been pretty fun. The teachers are easy going and the lessons are not hard to understand. They're always welcome to answering any questions and seem very understanding. It's a pleasure meeting everyone.

Fantastic experience: It’s an amazing experience the directors were very nice and helpful throughout my driving school experience.

Fantastic experience: My girls have had the greatest experience with this school. Staff are super nice and friendly. Very patient with the girls. Kim was their instructor and she is strict(driving is not a joke, therefore I do understand). A year later, I enrolled my son in the driving school. Once again, they work their magic. They made sure my son has the correct "manner" when driving(Calm and focus, no need to rush). He got his license on the heaviest snowy day thanks to the good team. I recommend this place to friends and family.

Fantastic experience: Very great driving instructor. Has alot of patience and very understanding when it comes to new drivers. Open and honest, which I loved because he is there to help. Thanks for reading. Have a wonderful and blessed day. Again David thank you so much for helping me with my license.

Fantastic experience: Classroom portion was great and the on roads are excellent. Very patient, reasonable instructors.

Fantastic experience: I just had my first lesson with David. He was very clear and very professional, i learned a lot in just one lesson. I already scheduled my second lesson. University Driving School have excellent instructors.

Negative experience: Do not waste your money on this driving school. I would give zero stars if possible. Owner yelled so loudly at my daughter over the phone I could hear him in the other room because he didn’t like what time she was calling him (it was 4:30 in the afternoon). He told her multiple time how much he hated teenagers and would gossip about other students while doing on-roads and took phone calls during her lessons - one of which he was yelling at the person so badly they hung up on him. My daughter did not feel safe with him. He never allowed her to parallel park without grabbing the wheel. Not exactly how you teach someone. When she was unsure if it was safe to turn (like taking a left on a green after oncoming traffic) he would just scream at her to go - not explaining why and when it was safe. We paid hundreds of dollars to pretty much teach her ourselves. We have 3 other children and will gladly give another Driving School our money.

Fantastic experience: Kim was an amazing instructor, I loved her class a lot. She made driving school fun and I had a great time.

Fantastic experience: Caring, sweet, understanding instructors. very good at explains what needs to be done and when, even brought me for a dunkin break !! -shoutout to dave!!

Negative experience: I usually make a point to only leave good reviews. However, I've had mixed experiences with this driving school. My daughter was able to take the classes and receive on road instruction fairly easily and timely. That was 2017. Fast forward to last year, my son took the classes but has been chasing the on road instruction for months! In 2017, we paid for each on road session at the time of the session. In 2021, we paid in full upfront. I believe this is the reason that we cannot get a driving instructor to schedule his final 4 hours of on road instruction. This is incredibly inconvenient. I wouldn't send my child here, had I known this is how the business runs.

Negative experience: Extremely rude people! I payed $85 for my driving lessons per class. And when I took my test they failed me. When I wanted to re take it they said go find another driving school!

Fantastic experience: Kim is a great teacher making everything clear and accurate. I am doing online learning but I still feel engaged and active in class. -Jacob

Fantastic experience: The University of Driving school is professional and efficient at teaching new drivers how to drive and share good communications along with very much exceptional methods of learning. I recommend this school to anyone who needs to learn how to drive or is looking to obtain there license early. Expect fun energetic teachers to help you learn everything you need to know as classes are very much entertaining. Also the process is made easy when signing up due to a great secretary that you will meet as soon as you walk in.

Fantastic experience: The classes are very interesting and you learn a lot it’s a big help in taking the next step in driving. The teachers are nice. If you have questions during the lesson she would answer them and give a good explanation to the answer.

Positive experience: I have Kim as an instructor and she is very fun and isnt afraid to speak what is on her mind and to call something out that she does not like. She is helpful and shows everything very clearly and helps me and my other classmates succeed.

Fantastic experience: University of Chicopee driving school is a great place to get your driving classes definitely would recommend. 10/10

Fantastic experience: Upon going through the course of remote learning, I realized that it exceeded my expectations. Originally I thought it wouldn't be a great experiences due to the fact that remote learning is extremely unfortunate. Although, we did the course remotely I had an amazing experience and recommend it to anyone else in need of learning to drive. Kim was also an amazing and really reasonable instructor especially with how understanding she was.

Fantastic experience: I enjoy this place it's a chill learning environment, Kim is a great teacher and makes the lessons easy to understand. -Naomi

Fantastic experience: the staff answers all your questions, very respectful, and responsible. Best place i have gone to so far.

Fantastic experience: Kim is a great teacher and makes classes easy to understand and enjoyable.

Fantastic experience: My family has had amazing experiences with this driving school. Not only has my brother gone through this driving school and learned to drive like an expert, but now I’m going through it as well and am enjoying it. My teacher Kim is currently teaching the class and working extra hard to make sure we understand every new concept she introduces, answers any questions that we may have and even allows us 20 minute breaks just to stretch or just take a break from learning for a bit. I recommend that if anyone needs to learn to drive, they do so through this driving school since they are very good with communicating all the concepts of driving in an effective and detailed manner.

Fantastic experience: I’m currently taking classes for this driving school and it absolutely amazing Kim is a great teacher she makes sure everyone is understanding before moving on with anything she’s very patient with you it’s a good driving school to attend too i highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Kim is a great instructor with such positive leadership. I’ve learned so much during my two week classes!!!!

Fantastic experience: Even being over zoom, it is still very organized and my driving teacher is good at explaining things in a way that we can understand.

Fantastic experience: Teacher teaches well and actually cares

Fantastic experience: Very good driving school... they make it very easy to learn and even easier to fit in as they ask everyone questions and if they struggle with an answer the teacher gives them hints and allows other students to help which helps everyone in the class.

Fantastic experience: I love my teacher she is so sweet and she always is in a great mood .I have learned so much from her already.

Fantastic experience: Currently enrolled in the drivers Ed program. I love how easy it is the understand. The teacher takes their time explaining more difficult things I feel I am learning a lot.

Fantastic experience: Great teachers & instructors!! <3

Fantastic experience: The very first day of speaking with the staff, I felt very comfortable. The staff was very informative and explained the process with such clearity. Once my son took the class, he was very comfortable and confident. I definitely recommend University Driving School, very very pleased.

Fantastic experience: Kim is a great teacher. My son talked about what he learned daily during his two weeks in her class. I had a parent zoom class with her tonight and she was very informative. I didn’t even know there was such a thing as a driver/parent contract, I printed it out and will be filling it out with my son. She took the time to answer any questions we had and overall she made me feel confident that my son will be learning from the best!

Fantastic experience: I don’t think I could have possibly gotten a better teacher. Kim was so sweet and kind she was always making sure that we all understood what she was saying and had no problems explaining further if we needed. Thank you Kim I’m typically an anxious person and you made me feel safe and confident enough to take this test successfully so thank you once again you are the best. Sorry we made you cry but we love you❤️

Fantastic experience: Never thought I would enjoy going to driving school. My instructor was one of the best and did her job very well. I learned a lot of useful things from University Driving School. Would recommend!

Fantastic experience: Kim is a amazing instructor and the best at helping understand certain situations of on the road, I have had a great experience with this school.

Fantastic experience: Kim is a great instructor, the way she teaches makes everyone motivated. The classes are very understanding. Kim keeps it fun and educational.

Fantastic experience: I have learned so much in my classes with university driving school. Kim paces the class just right so you feel challenged but not overwhelmed.

She is patient and eager to help. I’m thrilled to have found this school!
