I am an online learner since March of 2007. I went with AIU and started out fine. Then came an issue with the college algebra class and because of some technical problems and some problems with the lack of support from them, I had to repeat the class. They wanted to tack on another $2,000 to my tuition. That mean applying for more loans because I couldn't afford to pay cash. I thought that this was not fair. They locked me out of my last class because of this money and now I am looking for another online college.
A piece of advice for anyone thinking about AIU, keep moving! Please don't let them burn you too.
Now I'm thinking of a couple of different online schools. I am pursuing a BA in healthcare management or administration. I'm thinking about the following:
- Ashford University- They are on top of my list so far
- Grandcanyon University- They seem reasonable
- University of Phoenix
Can anyone who has experience with any of these give their input? I am so scared of another bad experience.
