Aiu - Ctu
An ex-Admissions Advisor's Opinion. Shame on you aiu/ctu!

As an ex-Admissions Advisor, I highly suggest potential students of AIU, CTU to Leave While You Can! I went through training, and here are some key points that I gained through the whole process.

— They make it seem as though the school is selective, but it is not. If you have any ounce of dignity, you will want to join a school because you know that you REALLY proved yourself to them and displayed your commitment, intelligence and focus.

— They ask about your intent to join school. It's a manipulative trick to get you pumped about changing your life. Throughout the whole interview they never give you a chance to ask questions about the school because they want you to go on the website and look the information up for yourself. * They don't want to commit to anything factual on the phone or by email.

— It's all about the #'s. Admissions Advisors don't really care about you. At least, most don't. They want to meet their quota. It's very much a sales environment.

— Truth is, the degree isn't going to get you a good job. Only debt, unhappiness and misery. Most HR people out there know about the different colleges and universities, and you can be sure they know about AIU and CTU.

—Even if you say that there is convenience in completing an online degree, don't fall for it. You have to do a lot of reading, coordinate your schedules around your classmates for team projects, and complete homework, and papers in a short time span. You may as well do all of that in a real college.

I took an online Spanish course a long time ago (not at AIU/CTU, but the concept is similar), and I had more work in that class than I did when I took an in-class Spanish course. Don't fool yourself. If you really want to go back to college and earn your Assoc. Bachelor's or Master's, do it in a real brick and mortar school.

I left my job (high-paying) because it was too unethical for me. I actually do have a conscience. Also, I didn't want to smash the genuine dreams that prospective students have of going back to college. Shame on you aiu/ctu!!!
