Complaint / Review
University Of Phoenix On Line
Uop the biggest rippoff school i know

I am a 45 year young woman who decided to go back to school to get my degree in healthcare. I recieved a phone call from the University Of Phoenix's Counselor. This person was very decent and helped me in everyway.

This person assured me that I would be able to get financial aid. I did recieve some financial aid and the pell grant. But I also had to take alot of money out of my pocket that I did not have.

After 7 months of UOP on line, I was still holding a 4.0 GPA. I was going for my B.S.in Health Care Services. I admit it was hard work! I busted my butt studying and only slept 1-2 hours at a time and new that I had to get back up to continue studying.

I learned alot, like my professors and instructors, the classmates and the team work, except for the fact that if the team leader didnt hand the homework in we all got a zero!!! That was not fair.

To get to the point of my writing. I worked on my degree for 7 months. During this time, the financial advisor of the school kept emailing me and calling me, wanting more money. My classes for each one was 1357.00 EACH. I didnt mind at the time as I thought financial aid was taking care of it as I am disabled.

Well at the end of my 7 months they wanted another $1800.00 from me in order to start my next class. I argued over and over on the phone and through emails with this person that I didnt have that kind of money and that I knew they were getting paid on my behalf.

I told them that I had enough and that I was withdrawing and going to a less expensive school. Well they never put the paper work out that I had withdrawn, nor did they tell my instructor. I am the one that had to write my instructor to let her know.

Well now I get a bill for $30,000.00 from the loan office through them and also a bill from the school for $6000.00 that they say needs to be paid IMMEDIATELY!!! Now just how is a person suppose to come up with that kind of money and what did they do with all the money they got from financial aid???

I suggest that everyone that wants to get a degree and has to go through an online school, stayyyyy awayyyyy from uop!!!
