Western International University

Beware of this university! The teachers are great. The books and lessons are fine. I learned a lot. However, the bureaucracy is horrible in this university. It is not possible to get a hold of the financial aid department at the main campus whatsoever. I studied there for three years. I was lucky once. You never get a call back. I got dropped from the program three times without my fault. They just send out a letter telling you you are dropped. Hey, I am not the only one they did that, too. The financial aid department doesn't know what they are doing. Because of a teacher who forgot to post my attendance (individual study) I now end up having to pay classes myself. It's too long of a story. There is more. My advisor told me that I only have to take one more class and I am done. When I filed for graduation clearance I found out that I had to take three instead of one. Oops, was my advisor's comment. Yes, they are indeed that reliable.

This is my last block of classes before I graduate. I have been attending WIU for a year now. Like any other college you will have good instructors and instructors that will pass you if you do your work. I have had some great instructors and I have learned a lot from them. I have a current GPA of 3.75. I have two sons who are also attending WIU and they have both been enjoying it.

The administrative staff is great, but most of the instructors are arrogant and/or do not want to do their job. If you can learn on your own with just a book, you can handle WIU online. (The so called help i have received from my instructors have been worthless.) I am in the online program at WIU and I have a 4.0 GPA.
