The school experience is pretty okay, and the teachers are very understanding, but I hate how much debt they put you in. I made a mistake and thought financial aid would pay for most of it, but it doesn't even put a dent in it. And, you end up a little more than $6,000 in debt! I'm in so much debt that I'm not sure that I'm even gonna be able to dig myself out of it. Had I known that financial aid wouldn't pay for most of my school tuition I wouldn't even enrolled in this school. They don't explain the financial part of it too well. When they explain it to you it's so confusing that you don't really understand it, and now I'm in debt that I didn't want or need. I'm struggling so bad right now, and really didn't need this. If they had explained the courses needed to take I doubt I would have taken it. They switch classes every 5 weeks, I hate the discussions and how you need to do one or two every week (depending on the course), and how you need to take a test every week. I have been in this school since April for Medical Administrative Assistant, and don't feel like I really learned anything, nothing is fully explained to you and none of the material seems to help, they try to push you into the work force 4 months before school is over, and I thought I was earning my degree, and would be certified but I found out I am only getting my diploma. Also, someone calls you 4 months before school is even over to get you to do a 45 minute mock interview. Why are they calling 4 months before school is even over? And, they call so early, it's ridiculous. Now, I'm scared that my debt is going to get even worse, and I'm never gonna do any better. I had high hopes for this year, and now I'm even more afraid than ever. I hate this school and wish I never did it.
