Quite Bright
I am a 1992 grad with a double degree--Literature and History. All of the professors I had at GCU were wonderful--helpful, kind, and not there for the money.I cannot rate the current teachers but I will say that I chose not to attend graduate school at GCU after attempting to secure transcripts a couple of years ago. While Records took my check, they "lost" my transcripts request! A friend just graduated and was given a devil of a time finishing her last few courses due to some VERY unhelpful instructors. No way will I ever go back, although what they have done to renovate the campus is beautiful. It looks like a different place than the run-down campus I attended. Keep in mind that it is also in a low-income part of town.
Collaboration/Competitive: A, Perceived Campus Safety: D

I enrolled and was told that I would be receiving full financial aid and that I would receive the money within 2 weeks. They did not give me the money and the teacher was extremely unhelpful. The counselor kept saying everything was going well, but then refused to answer my phone calls. When I tried to report this to the administration, they refused to return my phone calls. As I was only partially employed at the time, I was unable to pay for any of the costs without the financial aid. After 3 years of no contact, they decided to send me to collections for a class I was not able to participate in as a result of their incompetence.

Super Brilliant
I am graduating from this university this year. I have attended another online college and recieved an AAS degree. This college I enjoyed more because the students were polite and most of the professors did care. When I took the PLACE test for teaching, I passed it way above the average the first time. Those who complain about not having a great experience, I just don't understand the complaints!!! Students are at all levels within a classroom, I attended the online courses, and the students helped one another for the most part. I loved the kind attitudes of my classmates, far different from the secular college I attended.
Collaboration/Competitive: A+, Education Quality: F
