I attened Grossmont College for about two years and got no where! The tradition collge route was just not for me and I honestly did not want to spend 16 weeks taking a random GE class. I started National University a year ago and have learned and accomplished so much. My instructors have been beyond wonderful! All my science instructors have all earned a Ph.D in their field with years of experience teaching; they have all been amazing teachers. NU is for people who want to get their degree done in a reasonable amount of time while getting a quality education and thats it! Going to paries every weeked in not going to cut it here. The classes are fast paced and if your serious about your education and work hard you will succeed while taking with you valuable knowledge from each and every class.
Education Quality: A+, Extracurricular Activities: F

From the first day I entered their facility I was lied to. I was told that I only needed a certain number of classes to graduate and they DOUBLED it on me half way through my education. They have this thing they call "Upper Division General Ed". General Ed is for junior college not getting your BA. They also lied and told me that a certain class would fulfill more than one of their general ed requirements, and then they went back on their word. And of course, shockingly, when I was ready to graduate, they were waiting in the wings and told me that I didn't earn enough credits at NU and had to take yet another class. Of course, because I was supposed to graduate in June, this extra class didn't happen until August, and what do you know, financial aid stops in June. So they tell me to reapply for the next school year, I jump through all those hoops only to get a nasty collection call telling me that I have to have 13.5 units to qualify for financial aid. Why did they tell me to apply if I wasn't going to qualify? Because they lie, and cheat, and steal and they aren't happy unless they are making someone else miserable. Do not go to this school, they treat you like a number not a person and all they care about is getting as much money as possible from you.

They give you all the answers to the tests. You will get straight As. None of the classes transfer and the professors are more worried about giving you a good grade so you'll give them a good review. This school is a scam! Run away! Run! It's all about the money you are providing this company; this is not a university! You will get an inferior education and will not receive the tools necessary to excel at your chosen profession. Go to a state school, do the hard work and get a real education. What a waste of times. I hope in time this school is seen for what it really is. Terrible is convinces people they are legitimate. Do not go here.
