University's recruitment of new students is depraved. I was choosing between UoP and a few other schools to pursue a gradute studies certificate, and UoP mislead me with false information to get me to enroll, only to swap out my counsellor midway through with someone else who told me the truth of things. Most importantly, I was told that it could take 3-12 weeks for me to receive my financial aid, but most likely I would receive it in six weeks—so I budgeted my time and resources accordingly. Now I learn that it will take between 12 and 18 weeks. I quit my 2nd job so that I could go to school. Now I know that I need to get another 2nd job, leaving me no time for school, basically setting me up for failure, all so that UoP can waste my time and generate billable enrollment in their classes.This is outright illegal, and everyone I've talked to says, .. UoP made promises to me, and has not kept them, and now that they have my financial committment, are willing to tell me the ugly truth about their admissions and financial aid processing.If I am not able to find another 2nd job, I will not be able to pay my bills and will have to sell off bits of my property to survive. I operated in good faith that I was being told the truth by UoP, but I was intentionally mislead by them, and that has harmed me.I am contacting legal finanical aid here in Indianapolis, to discover what my options are and seek legal counsel against UoP. In addition, the education you receive really is sub-par. I learned more than this in the one human resources class that I took as an undergrad, as part of my business minor. I wish I would have believed the negative reviews I saw about UoP being a 'diploma mill' .. I am paying all of this money and spending all of this time, to acquire a worthless piece of paper. I would recommend that prospective students spend serious time discovering alternatives to UoP. I would have been better off to keep my 2nd job and not go back to school at all, than to attend UoP.
