Review of GCU

Attending GCU has been the WORST experience.

Attending GCU has been the WORST experience.

First, I am an older student and very responsible with my time, money, and resources.

I started at GCU before its major growth, and was tossed around from counselor to counselor because whomever I spoke with the week prior was "no longer employed with GCU". My program changed once before the growth of the college, which left me having to take an extra class.

Well into the growth of GCU my program changed yet again, which lead to me having to take AN ADDITIONAL class. Even two years into my program I was continually tossed back and forth between academic and finance counselors. Often, if not each time, I was told something that later became acknowledged as something said as a mistake .

At the end of my time at GCU there was yet ANOTHER discrepancy I was suddenly responsible for. I had been in continual correspondence with my new finance counselor, and was shocked to receive a call from the COLLECTION AGENCY saying it had been turned over to them. I was told by TWO DIFFERENT counselors I was free and clear from. I cannot express my frustration.

Final note... Be wise, after 4 years at GCU the only thing I've seen improve is the look of the campus; which is probably funded largely by the chaos that happens behind staff walls.
