Strayer University

Please do not go to this school they do not care about you at all. I applied online and a coach by the name of F. called me literally 3 minutes later after I applied online trying to get me to enroll and she would literally call you everyday to make sure you done this and you done that..so after Im finally enrolled she no longer answers any of my phone calls never ever replies back to my emails and does not help me with anything...I have been having a hard time getting financial aid..which I dont... Read More know what school sets you up with classes until you pay for it! But they sure did and Im sure F. probably got some type of bonus or credit or something on getting me enrolled...and then another thing they do is put me and dumb classes like classes to that have to do with learning how to use a computer...Strayer University does not care about your success all they want is your money! Waste of time

I went to Strayer University hoping to get a MBA in business in Downers Grove Illinois. A couple of my professors were pretty cool. The Law Professor was really good. One fellow answered most of the questions, there was like 5 students in the class. One clas we had was almost like grade school, the professor did not prepare for the class, and went around the room calling on every student to answer the question. The Librarian wasnt too nice, if u asked too many questions isnt was like you were bothering... Read More her space. Not too friendly place, okay. I wasted close 49,000 dollars which I am not doing anything with that knowledge whatsoever. Yes it would be nice to have my 40,000 back and spend it on something worth while.

It seems that most of the complaints are due to financial aid or "poor" professors and I want prospective students to know that this happens everywhere. In the most respectful way, some of these posts should be ignored, judging by listed concern(s) and the large amount of grammatical errors within the posts. When I enrolled at Strayer, I had an Associate's in Business; if I stay on the right track, I will complete my Bachelor's in 2019. I urge you all not to become fearful of enrolling based off...

This school is a rip off. I was promised financial aid for my first term. The success coach and student advisors told me to constantly reach out to the financial aid department and submit numerous documents in order to recoieve my financial aid towards my tuition because I received financial aid from another school in the past. Once they convinced me to continue my education with them through the drop out period, I was responsible for my tuition for that term. I informed Strayer that I was not financially... Read More able to pay out of pockect before they persuade me to enrollled. Straight rip off, be aware!! The curriculum was very easy but I but if you don't have the funds to pay out off pocket, stay away!

I am an online MBA student and feel that the technology has been very helpful and easy to follow. The books, lectures etc. are relevant and there should be no reason an individual cannot attain a 3.0 or better. I say this having transferred from another online school where the technology and instruction were essentially self-study courses and antiquated systems. On the negative side, I am a bit disappointed at the quality, I hope the school becomes a little discerning at acceptance rates so that... Read More the degree has a little more credibility in the business world.

I began attending Strayer in Spring 2018. Immediately I was being told by the financial aid department that I was selected by the Department of Education to be reviewed for verification. I called the department of education and was informed I was not selected by them for no reasons and my financial packet had been sent to Strayer. I then called the school and once confronted, they released my disbursement. I forgave them and enrolled for the next semester which is the Summer 2018. They did the same... Read More thing again!!!! They stated that I was flagged by the department of Education to be reviewed again. Once again, I called the department of education and they said AGAIN, they did not flag me. Strayer has been a big disappointment to me and was the worst decision I made when it comes to my higher education. If I could have gave them a minus star, I would have!!! Don't trust this school!!!

Run as fast as you can away from this school. You can never get in touch with your success coach. No returned phone calls. The financial aid department is by far the worst ever. When you first enroll financial aid is smooth thats just to get you in and then hit you with major financial aid problems. Ive been trying to get my financial aid solved since April and week after week their constantly requesting the EXACT same verification forms. Begged one rep to not move my documents around that it would... Read More only restart my process he did exactly what I asked him not to do. This school is a rip-off and Im transferring ASAP. PLEASE STAY AWAY FROM THIS HELL HOLE.

I have attended Strayer University at their PG County campus since 2016. I am a part time student and take one class online and one class on campus a quarter. The staff at my campus seem nice but I generally have issues with understanding instructors due to heavy accents. Foreign accents are a common occurrence in the DC area but it makes it hard to learn course material when you can not understand the words coming from your professor. I have had some very good professors at my time in the school... Read More that really seem to want to help you do better as a whole, not just in class. The online classes have not been too overly difficult up to this point as long as you review all the required materials. Financially I have had no problems with the school. I use GI Bill benefits to attend and the school set up everything for me. All of my payments have been made and I have had no outstanding balances to contend with. Switching gears to the course curriculum I do feel as if some of the classes are on the easy side of things. There are many classes that I don't feel very challenged in other than the occasional discussion post. The workload isn't too over bearing and I generally have an easy time getting it done within the week allowed. This is on top of juggling a full time job, a part time job, and a few volunteer hours a week. Overall I am happy with my experience at Strayer so far. I would recomend this school on a case by case basis. If you are just trying to get a degree to get a little ahead in life then this school might be the ticket. It all depends on your situation and the career field you are in or trying to pursue.

Received Undergrad degree in Accounting from highly regarded state college. Worked in the field for a decade then decided to get an MBA from strayer as I is accredited by the same people who accredited the state college I graduatiled from previously. Because of my work schedule I took all but one course online. It worked well with my schedule at allowed me to attend virtual class when convenient during the week. I put a lot of effort into it and graduated in two years. Received straight As and 1... Read More B. Having worked I. Accounting for a decade I found the professors highly knowledgeable on the subject matter, competent at teaching their subject and available for questions within a reasonable time frame. Within 4 months of graduating I was hired for a new job making $25k more than before. I now make well into six figures. Reading the comments associated with negative reviews it seems to me that most of those people would not have succeeded at any school they attended. Its all about the amount of effort you out into it; not her effort the professor puts into it. If you have a bad professor, and they exist everywhere, your own motivation should cause you to work to overcome that challenge. I borrowed all of the money to attend college and found their tuition assistance people incredibly helpful.

i took couple class back in 2012 at strayerr-dc campus/ it was a mistake and a joke the instructor could not speak English you can tell he had very little training in teaching during introduction by each student then i ask the instructor to tell us about his background he inform me its not of my business i was a older student 54 yrs/after break i went to the dean office to drop the class i did my under graduate at bu in boston in 1983. i recommend any student do not go to this school/All they care... Read More is the money the instructor have a open book test and no teaching background/remember its your money you have to pay the student loan back the school or the instuctor

Worse school for Financial aid services. first time at this school started April 2nd. I'm in the last week of school and still having to send over documents for financial aid. This is a like a scam, I have never attended a school where they want you to change your taxes from 2015. Mind you I attended a local college in 2016-2017 and completed the program with financial aid with no problem. Came to this school and it has been one thing after another with financial aid. And my taxes were done by a... Read More professional tax service with an accountant. Please please please stay away from this school. I am in the process of trying to find a school where I can complete my education.
