University Of Phoenix
Looking back I agree it was an expensive "joke"

Looking back at my time as a student with UOP Santa Teresa campus, I agree with most of the bad experiences posted on this website. These are just some of the things which I observed:

There were so many people who were not equipped to handle even the most simplest tasks of attending a University (if we can call it that). First example there were some students who would "trail in" during the second half of class —everyday. While most of us went through the complete full hours, they would trail in half way through the class. These 4 students passed with an "A" in most of their classes, if not a "B".

One student which I remember, picked a fight with me??? It was the first class she had ever attendend and I am sorry to say, she looked life riff raff. I could not believe it, I thought "are we in high school, no way is this happening?" Funny.

The staff within the University changed constantly. My first Academic Counselor was no help whatsoever, I could never get a hold of her and finally spoke to a supervisor and was assigned a different counselor.

The Valedictorian for our graduation was a BIG JOKE!!! I could not believe who they had chosen, this guy would always try to out do the instructor during class. At one point one instructor had to tell him to please stop interrupting him. Most of what came out of this guys mouth made no sense and clearly did not know what he was talking about.

Then came the Supervisor of Academics, another joke. They placed this student as the Supervisor of Academics after she graduated UOP. Most of the students you meet or have in class, you get to know intellectually and believe me she was not even of average intelligence or had any common sense. That says quite a bit about this university. Grant it, every company has someone who should not be in a certain position, but in this instance, this just added to everything wrong with this university.

Things got so bad there at the University when I attended that I told the main Director of the UNIVERSITY "How can you teach students how to run a business when you cannot run your own university?" It was a joke.

I would recommend anyone to just go to your local college or university. Save yourself $20k plus, not worth it.
