This university claims it is a convenient wayQuite BrightAccounting
This university claims it is a convenient way to earn your degree. That may be true if you can spend 30 hours per week on each class and do trivial assignments with no purpose.

You have to rush through material as fast as you can to meet the Sunday deadline with no real absorption or discussion. There is not time to review points that you may have not understood.

I have an A average but its only because I have no social life and am allowed to work from home a few days per week. If you have other obligations or do not want to live for GCU, I would avoid this University.Also if you really want to understand your area of study, don't come to GCU online.

Question
I love it at GCU! I will beQuite BrightAccounting
I love it at GCU! I will be graduating soon, and my experience has been positive. I came from a small Christian school in the south, and I enjoyed GCU more than the other establishment. 100% of my GCU work was completed online. Great school!!! (Highly recommended) It must be noted that you will get out of your education based on what you put into it. For the student who said that they just breezed by, I would say that you would have found value in the school if you had attempted to earn an education.

Question
This school is horrible!! Yes, there are aBrightAccounting
This school is horrible!! Yes, there are a few teachers and some other faculty that are helpful, but overall this place is no good. They are incapable of getting any paperwork done that you need unless it benefits them and even then it goes slow! When I transferred out of here they said they cancelled my loans and they really didn't. Because of this, my financial aid at my new school could not be processed and I could not register for classes. I had to call my lender my self and cancel them, then I had to have my lender send notice to my new school that my loans were been cancelled. This school has been the most frustrating experience of my life, the financial aid office is no help at all and are incapable of doing there job. Every person in the FA office will give you a different answer to the same question. Do not go here!
