For starters, this organization isn't regionally accredited. What this means is they are nothing more than a glamorized trade school. Their credits won't even transfer to any respected university. Go check and see for yourself.
To make things MUCH worse, their prices are absolutely insane. You will pay at least $6-10k PER SEMESTER at this trade school!!! They have all kinds of hidden fees and Stafford loans (that are designed to cover not only tuition for college, but general living expenses as well) will STILL not be enough just to cover your tuition, let alone all the other fees they throw at you on top of it!!!
Oh, and if you owe them money, this is the type of disrespectful organization that commits transcript extortion. Yes, they will demand FULL payment from you and will refuse to provide your official transcripts to any other college until they get every last dime from you beforehand. It's a cutthroat and poor business tactic considering without a degree, how do they think you are going to pay them back? They would rather cut their nose off to spite their face than let you move on from them. Oh, but they will lie through their teeth when trying to get you to enroll, I can assure you of that.
Another thing, when (not if, but when) you have a problem with them, everyone who they will claim can actually help you will inconveniently be unavailable, you will get redirected to voicemails, and you will NEVER receive any return phone calls from those people. However, rest assured that if you ever stop going to them, they make sure to have plenty of staff that IS available to call and solicit you like crazy.
Avoid this trade school like the plague. The majority of the reviews on here were clearly written by the company themselves, as every single person I have talked to about them was left with a sour taste in their mouth. You could go to a top college like MIT or Caltech for a fraction of the cost of this school, let alone the difference in quality to boot. Do not, I repeat, DO NOT get scammed by this organization!!!
