University of Phoenix Scam
Category: Other
First off, not only has University of Phoenix taken tons of my money while providing a bad education but they also have taken tons of money from all of you! What most people don't know is that the University of Phoenix can get people financial aid from the government and other organizations! Stuff like Pell Grants and Stafford Loans and the money from the GI Bill are stuff that comes out of taxpayers money!
So what this school does is it charges obscenely high tuition and then tries to get financial aid from these government sites. Since the quality of their eduction is subpar, where is all of this financial aid money going? It is going into their pocket books and not towards providing you with a proper education!
Whats even more disgusting is that once both you and whoever is paying your financial aid is done and you get your degree you find out that it is useless. Employers realize that University of Phoenix is a scam school and theyll tell you to go get a real degree! So all this time you and others are paying money to this school so you can get a terrible education and once youre done nobody will even recognize that you went to school.
That is the problem with schools like University of Phoneix. They are running for profit. Most schools do not run for profit, they take no profit and put all of their money back into the school, which is why they can provide a good education and why the government can give financial aid. University of Phoenix does none of that and yet they are still scamming thousands of American men and women who are tricked into believing they can reach their American Dream with University of Phoenix. And yet they did a poll and found that most companies won't hire a University of Phoenix graduate even if they are a good worker. Being a graduate from this school will actually hurt your chances of getting hired!
This is ridiculous and they shouldnt still be allowed to be in business! Even if you arent a student at University of Phoenix you should be hard at work trying to take this company down because your tax money is funding this company! Even after I left it pains me knowing that the money I pay in taxess is still being used to fund this company!

I would like to start off by saying every accredited college or university offers federal aid to students who qualify for it, not just University of Phoenix. I would also like to add that you can take 12 credit hours each semester and the tuition would be about $45oo for two semesters. As far as the quality of the education, I don't know. Typically, you get what you pay for in an education. For instance, an employer will almost always hire somebody with a degree from a school such as Vanderbilt over somebody with a degree from a state school or tech school. However, in this economy, almost all employers are hiring people with experience because it will cost them less to train them then it would somebody who just knows the textbook material of the job. Best of luck to you.
