I am a graduate of Strayer. I've had a so, so experience...my dismay is they are too money hungry for me, to the point that I wouldn't recommend this school without caution. The Financial-aide, department.. is outsourced and they don't know what they are doing. Other departments are clueless as well. The root of there cause is the dollar bill...after you get in there. Also, there online school is higher than most and if you have a loan from before continuing from elsewhere, you won't have enough to finish. They don't care, either. Because I was never told from the beginning. I was 5 classes away from a bachelors, meanwhile clued me in ...that I was reaching my limit in aide. Which I had no clue. So, I was forced to take two clases, one was introductory to word, that by the way..took two days to decide by a dean that I was take a class they put in at the last minute, for my associates, when I was going for bachelors. I told them I wanted something not nothing. Anyway, I was forced to take 2 classes when I only had funding for one. Well, make a long story short..prior to this I was told I had a book bal., of over a thousand and change. They told me to stay out a quarter to pay for it. Well, where is the other half of my loan grant?? I asked them, repeatedly! Because when I finished I had.... what would you know, a balance for the other class I couldn't pay for, I could only pay one. The balance was over 900 bucks and change. Well, my questions and me professing fraud, made me only at a balance of 150..go figure, ths is my balance now...wow. I got no change of bal., paperwork or email from them...odd huh?? Well, they just put me on collections, find out today. After I made a $25 dollar payment to them. I will admit I'm late but I had email correspondence with Massey, twice, in reply to hers..I told her that I am disabled, not working (due to car accident, in 08) and I'm waiting for a check to come in ..to pay, and that I am going to make the full payment this month. So, I can have my degree on paper... Anyway, Please be cautious of this school. Recheck everything, keep all paperwork and emails on all correspondence. To protect yourself. I dopn't want to bash this school its not my reasoning. I am just being truthful and honest and I hope this will help someone or maybe the administrators here will act accordingly instead of pretending their way of business isn't a problem. This school has forgotten their students and have gotten to obsessed over how much money they can pull in. I could go on and on about this school but, from the crookledness of a few Professors, who try to fail me. Me trying to drop a class, but the refused to let me, where I ended up failing and repeating!! I've even wrote the dean about unfairness, and they brushed me off. I had one Professor giving me a bad grade that wasn't correct during mid-terms was told I was over-reacting..well he ended uo writing me a personnal letter for my records in regards to his mistake. Gosh, its just endless but I'll end it there.
