I'm quitting school. At least that crappy Everest University. Let me tell you about some of my issues.
-I was told it was cheaper, which alright great! It is cheaper per class when compared to University of Phoenix, however, you do 3 times the classes for essentially half the credits. I'll explain in the next point, but you end up paying A LOT more.

-I'm on a "quarterly" schedule apparently. So I do "part time" which means I "only" do 4 classes a semester (2 a quarter). It takes me 190 credits to get my Bachelors it seems.

-They told me they were accredited. They were right. Nationally accredited, but not Regionally accredited, which is what everyone goes by - the regional accreditation boards. I've actually never heard of national accreditation until recently. So my company won't pay anything for it and I doubt my credits are going to transfer.

-I've paid $13,000 in student loans every year for a couple of years.

-They have started slipping in new classes now that I'm almost done with my Associates. You know "Oh I'm sorry, someone must have missed this" sort of thing.

-They charged me $1,700 4 months after switching majors, and telling me that it wouldn't cost anything, since it was still Computer Science.

-I'm still not sure when I'm actually scheduled to get any degree at all.

-Although they send me a 108T every year, because of how much I pay for tuition, I check my Sallie Mae account and gain a little interest on unsubsidized portions of my loan, because although I pay the school, I'm fairly certain they do not pay my loans until the end of the "year" or something similar.

-I have a lot of work. All the time.

So anyway I need to choose a new university. Also never, ever use Everest.

That's online right? online school ftl. Good luck finding a real school, or whatever you're going to do.

I liked Phoenix when I was actually using it before I said fuck it.  Never heard of the everestquest shit.

[Potato Wedge Antilles]

my school offers online classes and i hate it. hybrid is pretty sweet though.

I looked at Phoenix briefly for taking some night classes.  They're high pressure sales.  The guy actually said to me "Can I axe you a question?"  Then, he emailed me as a follow up and it was full of mistakes.  I didn't bother replying and he called me to follow up and "axed" me why I was no longer interested.  I told him it was because he couldn't write a complete sentence, let alone a paragraph, and if he is supposed to represent the university then I sure didn't want to be associated with it.

So, yeah, Phoenix is a fucking joke as well.  You're in CA, what's the nearest California State University or JC?

Just because you had a bad experience with them doesn't mean they are a joke.  I had nothing but good things to say about them when I was dealing with them.

[Vaj is for Fags]

1 bad experience = everything about them must be horrible, it is not possible for there to be any exceptions.

Thrax. I work 60 - 80 hour weeks at fluid shifts. There is no way I can take classes offline. None. This is exactly why these were created. I'm not 20 years old with no real career to think about.

Phoenix is actually considered a state university here, as they actually have campuses here. But I can take some state university classes on base, however, they are general studies. I could go to the prestigious Embry-Riddle for aerospace type classes, but I don't want a degree in aerospace anything. There is something down the road called "Antelope Valley University", but well its in a strip mall and I'm not going to bother with it. So the nearest full fledge state university is in Bakersfield or Los Angeles, both about an hour and a half to two hours away.

I thought you might be in the boonies.  What kind of courses are you trying to take anyhow?

I live in Lancaster/Palmdale. Right now I'm taking Computer Science because not many universities seem to have online course for MIS.
