"I have just started my 5th class with Ashford. For those who have complained about the price, I would love to know what schools they have looked at. They assisted me with getting the financial aid I needed. I am not thrilled with having little choice on my books, but the prices are no worse than I paid at the campus bookstore in Jr. College.I have found all of my teachers to be competent, and the courses well designed. This is a school for people who like to write, which was my reason for chosing Ashford. Other On-line schools required going to test sites, or hiring an approved person to do it. Ashford asks you to prove understanding by writing papers at the end of each course.I received credit for every single class I took previously and the courses that I had completed by CLEP. I have received prompt response on every inquiry.ust Remember that online course are for the mature and self-motivated. Only sign up for classes on-line if you are ready to take responsibility for your education!"

"Ashford is hands down the best school I have ever attended, the coursework is challenging, My advisor is very helpful and I can see the support that they said i would recieve. This is my 3rd online school and also the best and last one i will be attending. My advisor was extremely informative, and answers all of my calls unlike some others it sounds like! Would recommend it to anybody looking for a high qaulity education, at times it can be a little tough but I'm doing well so far! 6 classes left yay!!!"

"I'm in my last week of classes at Ashford. What a lifesaver this has been. Although I can't speak for everyone else, here's my experience: My advisor: Returns calls within 24 hours and usually even sooner. Has called and emailed me routinely to make sure that I'm on track, doing well and don't have any problems or questions. Financial Aid: Although a bit screwy, what school's FA department isn't a bit screwy? My FA advisor clearly states that he will return your call within 48 hours and he always has. He responds to emails and voice mails and yes, even picks up now and then. He's been very helpful Professors: Hit and miss just like every school. 90% have been absolutely great and help with whatever you need. Bottom line: A real school with a real campus and real coursework. If you don't like independent study, then this is not for you."

"I am currently in my third course at Ashford and my experience has been pretty positive for the most part. I transferred to Ashford from a local, well known university and have found this work to be more challenging than the work from my brick and mortar school. All of my instructors have been very helpful so far, with the exception of my first writing consultant. I sent her four different emails regarding my paper and have yet to hear back from her, the class was in May, this is now September. I have also found the financial aid department to not be as knowledgeable as they probably should be. I"
