Like everyone else, I did tons of research before deciding on WGU for my BSN in Nursing. My HR department at the hospital where I work also researched it before allowing me to use their employee tuition assistance program. My mentor was wonderful and if it wasn't for her, I don't know if I would have finished, You definitely need to be self motivated to work, be a wife and mother and still stay on top of your studies. But I am happy to say that as of yesterday, I am finished! I was so happy with... Read More this school that I am considering continuing with them for my Masters. I attended community college for my Associates degree and did several classes with other well known brick and mortar schools, these classes were every bit as challenging and I loved the acceleration option. College is all about self-learning, and WGU provided an excellent experience for me.

I have had great guidance and financial counselors. The instructors have been supportive in the program. I would encourage anyone who has an Associate Degree and wants to continue to get there BSN to attend South University. The only down fall the at graduation in Savannah. They did not have everything prepared for each person like a packet with cords according to an individuals GPA, Honor Society and Presidental Honors. A person had to ask about the different cords to make sure they had everything... Read More that should be awarded on their graduation day. The graduation ceremony was ran smoothly and productive event. I am thrilled to say I am a graduate from South University.

I am currently completing my last session with CTU and here is my take. Comparison to "brick and mortar": I have attended reputable brick and mortar schools in CA, MI, and NM, and the caliber of the faculty at CTU is as good, if not better, than any of my previous university experience. Actually, I was impressed with the knowledge level and the academic credibility of my instructors. I also found that they were more focused on teaching and less on their personal research agendas which I've found... Read More is the case with most brick and mortar...and, I was not subjected to courses taught by TAs who I could not understand. Assignments are graded within specific timeframes and most often with appropriate feedback. Inferior education? There is nothing easy about attending this school. You will not be spoon-feed or coddled, it is real college. For those who have not attended school in several years or who do not have basic computer skills, on-line learning may be a shock. As with any higher learning, you need to do the work and you are graded accordingly. RUSHED? For those who want to expedite the process of getting their degree the 5 1/2 week sessions are perfect, however, if you do not have the time or discipline to do an accelerated program, then this is not for you. Yes, there are issues if you try to copy and paste to the discussion board, but I have found that it is an issue with other on-line schools as well. As far as the financial aid dept, they were as helpful as I expected. The student advisor are extremely helpful. So, I can highly recommend CTU. If they had a Masters program in my field, I would consider them again.

Chamberlain is a passionate school. Organized, professional staffs, yet friendly and warm environment. The course load is a lot, I won't lie. It's more than I expected, but then again, it's an accelerated program... 😂. I would recommend Chamberlain to anyone who can afford it and want to get that degree in a short time. If you have time and would rather go the long route then why not. So far I have no regrets. The materials are learnable, the individual attention is there for students, tons of resources... Read More to the point that I strongly believe that Chamberlain want to see me succeed. I am looking forward to having a great experience. I'll come back and give another review towards the end of my program 🙂 Shout-out from Chicago Campus!

The reason I chose the University of Iowa for my Bachelor's degree was because they were one of the top ranked schools in the nation. The reason I chose to stay there was because of the caring faculty members that continually helped me reach and surpass my goals. Everyday while I was in the program I would learn something new or put one of my new skills into practice. The instructors all helped me answer my questions in a timely manner and I was never left alone to "fend" for myself. The course content... Read More matched well with was I was expecting from the course. During human genetics each student made their own genetic tree and learned about what conditions may effect them in their future. During healthcare finance the students all learned about Medicare and other insurance companies and how they worked. I truly believe that I received the best possible education I could have at the University of Iowa.

I am currently a student at the Chicago Chamberlain campus. I have to agree to a point with most of the reviews . Chamberlain constantly changes policies and has no intention of keeping their word . For example, I was told I could take all my pre- reqs online, which was a major plus.. convience is a huge factor in today's world. However, within my first year they took away that option.. a set back, but I decided to keep a positive attitude and move forward. Shortly after that I was sent an email... Read More 2 days prior to a class starting, that stated "it was beyond their control" and they had to cancel classes. They offered one option, it was to come all day Saturday for the class. As a dental hygienist, I have patients scheduled months in advance and Saturday is an important day. Not only is this not flexible learning, but it's not" beyond their control." The building burning down is beyond their control, not their incompetence to hire adequate staff.. Furthermore, it pushed my graduation date back 4 months. I have managed to do well, but it is definitely self taught for the most part. The frustration of dealing with advisors and new/changing policies is like adding another 3 credit hours to most sessions. I would not recommend this school, but you get stuck.. you can't transfer courses. Lastly, I had courses from IU and DePaul they didn't take, that goes along with the territory of a money hungry for-profit school. I knew what a for-profit school was all about going in, but the flexibility that they offered seemed great.. I would have been accepted to most schools. It's too bad they didn't keep up that end of the bargain, there is no flexibility . You will not graduate when they tell you will either. So in my opinion, anything good they had to offer at one time , is gone. I wish I wasn't stuck, but I am. I'm just trying to make the best of it, but I only wish I had known the reality.. I would have spent the extra admission time... it just goes to say, "Things that seem too good to be true, usually are." Lesson learned! Good luck to all future nurses... :)
