“I would never recommend this school to anyone.Quite BrightFinance
I would never recommend this school to anyone. As a current student myself I have NEVER ONCE heard from ANYONE from this school. I have never had a conversation with my adviser. I have left 3 messages for financial aid to call me because I have not received my High One card and it's been sent 3 times.
If you offer online program you have to have the resources for your students to prosper. There is NO resources for online students. I have A in all my classes minus 1. The one I am struggling with I cannot get any help and was told to spend $40 hour tutor. As a single mother working FT and I am a senior at Metro I cannot pay $40 hour for tutoring.
I am so frustrated that I have applied to go elsewhere. The first 7 weeks has been a nightmare for me. I have been in tears many times because there is no way to graduate here at metro with no resources and no communication. I still have not received an email back about my concerns with the class I am struggling with. I was told to drop the class and pay for it. WHAT! My last academic adviser that I completed my AA at called me and his students every week. The teachers physically called every student that was doing the online program and told them if they needed help what to do and so on. You'' be lucky to even get through the phone number to call if you have a question about anything here.

“The administration and financial management and advisors havQuite BrightBusiness - Management and Administration
The administration and financial management and advisors have been very rude and uncaring. They rarely get back to you in a timely manner. The whole process of registering and paying for college is confusing and everyone is too busy to help. You have to do their job and always be one step ahead of the game or you'll end up in a downward spiral of paperwork and misunderstandings causing you to miss out on the class you want/need or going that semester at all. Every semester is a complete headache and nightmare of confusion and frustration just trying to get proper paperwork filled out and financial aid worked out.

“Metro State is the place to go ifQuite BrightOther
Metro State is the place to go if you simply want to finish your education. It's not really a "join in" kind of place and many of it's courses are online, so you don't get much face to face time at all. There are some activities offered, but I only new one person that joined in.
The professors are fine, the school is fine. It's not very engaging. But, I loved the Individualized Degree program and it allowed me to tailor my Bachelor's to what I wanted to do and allowed me to include previous coursework in my degree plan. I highly recommend the course Perspectives on Education in particular. It makes you think about why you're learning what you're learning.Overall, my experience here was neutral. There were good and bad things...just as there are everywhere. But, I finished my degree, learned stuff and was able to do both work and school full time because of the flexibility of my classes.
