DON'T DO IT!! !! This school is a scam. I really regret getting involved. They are only after your money. This school is so small with so little classes yet so expensive. My friend is going there. .. I mean was! She was told that her More
Do not waste your money or time it s disgusting how they care nothing about the students especially the school director.
How sad to read about the college I attended in the late 80s. WHAT are you people doing? All of the great teachers and professors, gone. The building it was originally in? Where is it?
At this point, you should just close shop. It's embarrassing to even say I went there. When I attended, there was no b.s. We learned. And walked away with so much knowledge.
Give these kids their money back.
The best instructors so far ,The assistance they provide is priceless. I love you guys already.
I am graduating for a second time with 2 degrees and made honors both times. Presidents list 7 times and deans list once in one year. Very helpful student advisors and excellent Tudor s. May return next year for the masters project.
AIU Atlanta is the best university I have attended! The faculty and staff are amazing! They help us every step of the way. We are a family at this university. This is the best decision I ever made. I just finished my AA IN BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION. This coming January I'm finishing my BBA in Human Resource Management. I don't care about the bad opinions posted. This school is great. You do have to maintain your GPA and ROP as not to get put on academic warnings etc as you do at any scholl. Most schools require at 3.0 not AIU it's a 2.0. you have to maintain your standards. Come to AIU and you'll see!
Absolutely the worst, expensive school ever. Charging big bucks for a school that only has management of half the building. Student portal sucks always malfunctioned. Limited class scheduling. The staff is nice but the experience over all sucks. Definately will not go back.
RED FLAG! RED FLAG! RE FLAG! It is very unfortunate that I was not aware of AIU scam practices before giving so much time, effort and finances toward my degree that I so desperately need. We are taught that an education is how we reach success not knowing that there are organizations praying on that very need. I received my AABA from AIU without issue so signing up for my Bachelors seemed to be a no brainier. I went through every agonizing call and filled out all paperwork. My GPA was at 3.0/3.1 with 4/5 classes left before I received a shocking call that claimed I was no longer funded and owed AIU almost $3000 before I could continue my degree. This was heartbreaking. Today I spoke with a Ms. Mohara from Corporate who was nothing more than a collector. I was under the impressions she was calling to correct the issue regarding the billing. She herself stated that ALL financial paperwork is done for the degree beginning to end and the stipend is what I received due to overage after everything has been paid for the complete degree. My question to her and everyone that called me has been "If all was taken care of the the complete degree how is it that I now OWE anything." She then stated that it's my fault because I "withdrew so they had to send the money from the lender back. That leaves me responsible for the balance." I received a stipend and was due another payment. There was no balance. After reading the reviews & complaints it is obvious to me that this is a Scam. One of the AIU collectors.... Daniel, told me to "get the money from your boyfriend". Of which was EXTREMELY inappropriate. This has been a very upsetting turn of events for me as I have applied for positions noting that I am close to receiving my degree. Ms. Mohara could only say to me that "It doesn't matter, I still owe.... Now she says $2002. When I asked if our call was being recorded for future reference she stated... "No! And it won't be." She even had the nerve to chastise me for cursing at Daniel... the rude collector that told me to get money from my boyfriend. I am at a loss, countless hours of studying, homework, stress and now loan repayments due and I was not given a chance to complete my degree in order to reach my full potential that would allow me to repay the loans. I am beyond disappointed and warn any all of AIU. Today I see 1 positive review and 7 negatives on the BBB Website. Please let our experiences be a lesson learned for you as we continue our disputes and goal of justice. Being a single mother, working full time and going to school should not be taken lightly and should not be preyed upon. I would also like to add that I am a Veteran, paper work was turned in to AIU but was never used to assist. Customer service ends after you begin. Help ends immediately after they say "I'm here to help." Fair warning
I would not be surprised to find that the positive reviews listed here are from AIU employees. If the experience was so great why not expound? why just a sentence? A 20.7% graduation rate is a RED FLAG! I really hope my review helps save someone else this misfortune.
I have been taking online classes this year and so for its been great. I have a A average grade. The staff is always helping and the instructor is just a good teacher. I couldn't ask for no better. Go AIU
I'm never going back to this school. They say they are there for you and help you. But all in all their just there for the money to get paid and make it so hard for people to even graduate. I thought they were the best school recommended people to go this is where I got my first degree and they want to screw me on the second one. DON'T GO TO THIS SCHOOL EITHER ONLINE OR IN A CLASS.
This school is only about the money they actually wanted me to sign loan papers without giving me a price it was like I sign the loan papers and they fill in the amount later I started the first semester and they would never tell me how much I had to pay I called them every week as I was attending school they would never tell me what I had to pay until the beginning of the second semester after I drop out I dropped out because I wasn't going to continue to go to that school without knowing how much I will have to pay I would not recommend this school
It's sad to see this school hasn't improved! They are definitely in it for the money!! I only went to this school for 1 year and it took me 12 years to pay back thousands in student loans. Very disappointing experience.
This institution engages in abusive predatory marketing. Do not under any circumstances request program information. I made a permanent decision not to enroll in late 2015 once I received information about their program costs. I am not a student, do not have any student loans, and I am still being harassed and stalked by executive AIU personnel from various states. I continue to receive unwanted emails, phone calls, and text notifications after demanding that my contact information be permanently removed and not to contact me for any reason. What part of do not bother me again do you not understand? Do not contact me for any reason. AIU receives a one star rating, because Google required a rating to post this complaint.
This school isn't for the weak minded. Yes, every school has its downfalls but you learn so much in a short amount of time due to it quarter based programs. I enrolled in July of 2012 and graduated with a BA in Dec 2015. This was the cheapest school for media production that the program isn't just theoretical. You touch gear, you run sets, you write speeches, production books, scripts and get rough critiques on everything. It's hard to take those hits but you develop the type of skin you need to survive in the real world. This school is what you make of it and that will truly decide your experience.
Great Experience!
I have attended AIU since January 2016, and I have not had a problem with the university or the staff. I think it is a great university. I have learned a lot in such a short period. This university host job fairs and student functions year around. I think it is great how the university uses those opportunities to bring the staff and students together to bond. You can earn a Master s Degree in as little as 12 months, or like me, as little as 24 months by taking only one course at a time.
I believe like anything else in life; this experience is what you make it. I decided the day I walked through those doors at the university that this journey would be about me succeeding and I am destined to win. I'm keeping my eye on the prize........graduation.
I love the school and I just want to be working on my own fashion line
AIU has been a wonderful experience and I am so glad and inspired by the faculty members and instructors for being there. Believing in your self and applying for your success is all your own. I've only got 16 credits so far from winning the rest. Yet for them giving Me inspiration and courage to continue with the want to is awesome!
Great school for grad students so far! #firstsemester
The programs are cool, but beware of Collegiate Housing they work for the coorprate office and the Financial Aid Department works for the money.
