I am a student at Florida Metropolitan University and I understand how Chrissy feels. I only completed three semesters there before I was able to find out how important it is to go to a school with regional accredidation.
I wanted to become a Health Care Administrator at some point but I decided that I would work up to that degree by getting an Associates of Science Degree in Medical Assisting first. When I initally went through the admissions process, I was told that I can transfer my credits from FMU to another collge but what they failed to tell me is that it would have to be a collge that has the same accredidation and they do.
I also was mislead by the financial aide officer. He told me that I will have not problem because finacial aide will take care of my tuition, then i recieve a letter about student loans and when I have to repay them back. I don't recall signing any papers about takoing out a loan. I also have a problem with the amount of the tuition there as opposed to a community collge. It costs just over 4000.00 dollars per semester judt to get a degree that will not pay over 19,000 per year. I am glad that I went ahead and withdrew before I had to end up paying 16,000 for a low paid Medical Assisting Degree.
I will now attend Seminloe Community College and complete my AS Degree in Nursing and after I have that degree, I will then go on to UCF and obtain my Bachelors in Nursing... There is light on the other side of the tunnel if you jsut act on your suspiscions and make a change before you get in to deep
