This so-called school is a rip off. First they hound you to death to get you enrolled, then after they get you hooked, the advisors abandon you.
I took four classes. The first one was okay, pretty good instructor, The second one was totally useless, as I did not learn anything what so ever, but did find out alot about my team members boring lives during the discussions. Still, I thought, I've committed to this program so I'll stick it out and see if it gets better. I did all the work, led every team I was on, participated in the discussions, and still did not learn a thing that I didn't already know. The third class was a joke. I didnt' even buy a book and I passed with an A.
By the fourth class I had had enough and withdrew. My GPA was 3.9, I was in debt for $4000 and have nothing, not even transferrable credits to show for it. I had entered this program hoping to learn something, as I was starting from scratch with no college experience, I thought, I should have gained even a tiny bit of knowledge, but unfortunately, that didn't happen.
In one of the rebuttals, someone from the school mentioned that corporations pay for their employees to attend the "school". He means tuition reimbursement. My job did kick in 75%, but not because the school is so great, as that guy Brandon said, but because the school is accredited, and that is the basic requirement that my job has for eligibility in tuition assistance.
When I withdrew, almost a year ago, the counselors then decided to contact me. I never got so many calls, emails, and messages before in my life. They still contact me from time to time to try to get me back in. I wouldn't waste another second of my time on this school if they paid me.
My advice to anyone thinking of going to this school-you'd be better off at a local community college.
