The staff was extremely knowledge and very willing to help. I took classes at school and on-line and enjoyed both. The only negative thing I can say is that it’s not AACSB certified…but it does have accreditation from the Middle States Commission on Higher Education Perceived Campus Safety: A+, Social Life: F Have a Question?

Overall the classes I have taken were good, the professor were really nice, helpful and I got a lot out of the classes that I have taken thus far. Things were fine until I had fallen ill then I really saw the other side of Strayer. My financial aid was in jeopardy and when I sought advice from an advisor I was given the wrong advice which threw me into a merry go round that it took months to get off of. Bottomline the staff does not seemed to be to worried if students complete their degree, their main concern is receiving your money. They do not have the knowledge to advise some one during the process of obtaining their degree, nor do they take the time to advise. It is very hard to get some one by phone and if you so happen to be lucky to get some one muchless a call back then you are lied to and sent from person to person to person. It is frustrating and to be quite honest the only reason why I have not transfered out to another school is because I only have 7 classes left to complete and I have put a lot of time and money into the completion of this degree. I just wish Strayer had a caring, functional and knowlegable staff that actually stayed there as their turn over rate is quite high and my guess is that is due to them not meeting their quota since they are a for profit institution. I have so contemplated filing a complaint against them however I have often felt as though that would not get me any where and I would be wasting even more of my precious time. I just pray that it all ends rather soon. Campus Aesthetics: A+, Individual Value: F Have a Question? Your Response/Question:     To be informed when someone replies to your comment.

We were introduced to Strayer through a flyer that came in the mail. It was convenient because we could take on-line courses and visit the campus to speak with an instructor if we had additional questions. Well, that's where the convenience stopped. We went through so many problems just trying to get into the school. They requested my transcript from my previous college but would not pay for it until I made a big deal about it. That should have been my first clue. Okay, now let's move across the hall to financial aid. The worst experience of my life. I've never had so many problems with Financial Aid as I've had working with them. Nobody in the entire office knew what they were doing and it's so frustrating. Once you register you have to go to Financial Aid to finalize your classes. Every time I have to finalize them, there is a problem. I think I filled out that SOFA (Strayers Financial Aid) at least three times and I've only been attending a year. Oh, and the part that really made me mad was my first semester there I was having some problems getting my books so I was falling behind. I informed my instructors but they didn't care. So, I went into the school and informed them that I was having problems ordering my books from MBA. They told me everything would be fine and give the books a few more days to come in. So, I figured, these people work here, they should know it things are or are not going to be fine. So I waited a few more days and my books still did not arrive. So, I informed my instructors again and went back into the school. By this time I am two weeks behind and I figure, I should drop these classes and take them up next semester. Again, those in the Business Office and Financial Aid Office talked me into waiting another week for my books and said to request that my instructors work with me so I can get caught up. By this time I know it will be hard to catch up in three classes by mid-term so I opted to drop the classes. Do you know I had to pay for almost 75% of the class? Now, why should I have to pay when you told me three times to hold on and everything will be fine. I guess it is fine for the school because they are getting paid. So, now I have a $3,000 balance that I owe them and I can't take another class until it's paid. "Don't worry" they told me. "We'll work it out." They sure did "work it out". They took my refund check from the following two semesters to pay for it. Needless to say, I was heated. To top it off, the turnover rate is crazy. Each time I go in there I have to deal with a different person becaue the person I spoke with last time is "no longer with the company." And the people who do stay around go from job to job. I need someone to explain to me how you go from Student Retention to being over the Financial Aid Department. RED FLAG!!! I wish I knew then what I know now and I would have gone to another school.
