I don't understand the negative reviews. I'll give a deeper insight on SLU. The school isn't a place to fool around while obtaining your degree.

First off, I am extremely surprised at the complaints in the reviews section. I attended Ashford University for a short period and found it mediocre at best. When I transferred to Saint Leo I was quite challenged in all of my coursework.

I feel the instructors in CIS dept. are extremely involved and respond to any concerns or questions you may have. I am using my GI Bill so all of my financial issues are automatic.

Even online the instructors are helpful and there for you when needed. They offer times for class to meet in live chats as well as offering assistance through questions on discussion boards. Tutoring is also available through a live chat line. The only issue is with financial assistance and getting the VOCREB posted in order to get supplies for school.
