      worse school that any vetran or military could ever go to they keep the money owed to the student as long as they can so they collect as much interest as they can on it and they treat military and vetrans like c*** and lie to them to go to school there

      Absolutely poor communication, non-responsive, or accountability. I am a single mother, full-time student, and I work full-time, so the financial aid that I receive for living expenses is extremely important. However, for the past year, there have multiple issues with my aid award showing incorrect/different information in iCampus, having to accept aid multiple times because the amounts keeps changing, unable to reach anyone by phone/email. I have emailed my coach and financial aid repeatedly, to no avail. I have submitted help tickets, then unable to find status information. I've called strayer's financial aid department everyday, for 2 weeks, on hold for 20mins, only to have the automated response say, "we are unable to assist you", and hang-up. I submitted an Award Adjustment last week, and still haven't received any response. Meanwhile, I'm stressed out about finances, but expected to focus and maintain my classes, THAT STRAYER HAS BEEN PAID FOR!!!!!

      I'm beyond frustrated—no coaches are calling me back, the school funds haven’t been deposited, and now I find out the credits from this school don’t even count anywhere. This is ridiculous and completely unfair. I need answers!

      This is the worst school I've attended. I'm getting ready to complete my degree in two months and afraid that I won't be able to get into the masters degree program that I want. I was told that this school is accredited but each school that has reviewed my transcript is saying that the school is not accredited. Please do research before attending this school.

      One of the worst experiences I have ever had at any university. I have been trying to transfer out for a month now but they are holding my funds and telling me to email information in. After doing so, I am being asked for the same information. Cant get any help in the financial aid department because the phones hang up. Also was misinformed about costs of classes so I owe $600 and i just finished my first term. They are threatening to sue and i literally just finished two weeks ago. I graduated from ************************ with my medical certification and my associates degree and never received a lawsuit threat. RUN AS FAST AS YOU CAN AWAY FROM STRAYER!!!1

I signed up got approved to go to school got approved for financial aid my coach even went ahead and approved my money to get my books so I ordered my books I got my laptop I got to take one day of school only for my coach Latoya and Crystal J***** to kick me out and tell me they didn't have the proper paperwork after I was already told everything was good so now here I am owing money to financial aid for the books and the laptop and everything else because they straight up lied there's definitely ethical issues and this University very unprofessional and I am and will be following the proper State complaints

      Worst School Ever. Attended long ago. Went to this school for less than 6 months before they went completely online. Im talking 2013 before Covid. The number one reason I went to the school was because of the flexibility with night classes. Started July by Jan it was Online. One of the incentives to forcing us online was giving away laptops. I failed some class during the first semester so when it went online I had to retake it with NO HELP from the instructor which is why I failed it previously. Failed it again and was put on Academic Probation and was not allowed to enroll in school for the spring semester. And was left stuck with a bill of 11k (and on the hook for the laptop cost) for less than 6 MONTHS of getting absolutely nothing from this school. They are definitely For Profit.

      The worst school. They don’t communicate with you regarding your time at Strayer and the success coaches are ridiculous. My success coach Juanita M***** NEVER communicates and follows up with me. All Strayer cares about is money and not academic success.
