Argosy University

Weird… I posted this review a while ago and it was moved to The Art Institute’s Unilocal page? SO here it is again:
Honestly, I didn’t really give Argosy University much time so I can’t comment on the quality of education there. I will say that I feel like… it was sold to me the same as a used car salesman sells you a car. I was told everything I wanted to hear about how fantastic the school is, but once classes got rolling, I was less than thrilled. ‘Hybrid’ learning basically means you will go to the college one night a week and your time will be wasted. I really got NOTHING from attending classes there — we had to watch an Oprah video in one class, and the other was so basic (how to handle your finances? STDs??) that it was frustrating to be in the room when I could have been doing other things. The other students in my classes made me realize that Argosy will accept ANYONE. Reading online posts from classmates, I could see that more than half of the students in my classes could not spell, or form a sentence, and had no clue about grammar. One of my instructors was also a student there and I had to correct HIM. He marked me down on assignments for things that were, in fact, not wrong. For such an unbelievably expensive school — I was very disappointed, very quickly. I was told not to worry about math classes — which have always been a problem for me — I was told ‘We will make sure you succeed!!’ Well, when the time came to register for the 2^nd semester, I was told I would have to take an additional class or two in math — which I wasn’t expecting. Not to mention, these same math classes are offered at CCD or anywhere on Auraria campus for a fraction of the price that Argosy would have charged. I quickly got out at that point and reconsidered my options. I’m now at UCD and feel like it’s a real college, with better professors, and I am sure I will get a better education, and it will look better on a resume. Argosy is a fast and convenient degree — which is to be expected for an online school — but like going to a 7 – 11, you pay a lot more and don’t necessarily get quality goods or much of a selection. That’s just my opinion — it may be great for someone else, but it wasn’t for me. Expensive mistake.
