Complaint Review: South university online Savanah Georgia

 Back in 2011 I was excited about bettering my families future and began research on colleges and after having an entire list I began making phone calls, each ending with me saying "ok I will think about it and give you a call back." I reach south university and gave them a ring. I spoke with a man named Brandon (last name I will leave out) and he had me so excited and stoked about attending their school online, he was even kind enough to wave the $50 application fee, which made me trust in this school and in Brandon even more. I began asking hundreds of questions, and one very important question I asked all the school was, "after I graduate from your school will I be able to go right into being an ultrasound d tech without additional schooling?".. Now every other online school told me the same answer, "you must get additional training after graduation to get your licenses to be an ultrasound tech." That is all but Brandon from south university. Brandon ensured me over and over again about how I would be able to go straight from graduation and begin looking for a job in my field. I was elated to say the least, I mean $26,000 and I can leave know I will have all the skills and knowledge I need to be an ultrasound d tech.

2 years pass with their calls ensuring me I'm doing a great job, calling to make sure I'm not struggling and always telling me how they are there for me all I have to do is give them a call and always made sure I had their email and number. Ine day I received a call from one of the worker bees from south university, and at the time I was getting curious of how close I was to my ultrasound tech classes, and when I would be gettingy training for my field. I was heated to no end when she ensured me that I was infact mislead about being able to get all the training and education required to become an ultrasound tech at the end of my 4 year adventure with south university. I was then informed that I would have to find another school that would except their credit in order to get the schooling and training I needed to be able to finally reach my dream career. She told me the people who told me this is no longer woking for them, like in some strange world this made it all better. I explained to her that I was ferious,that had I known this I would NOT have went to their school and that I only agreed upon this school because I was told u could jump right into my field at the end of graduation.

Now, what was I going to do? She told me I would have to pay for what schooling i already had through them, regardless of the circumstances. Now, at the time, my daughter was 4 going on 5 and since she was 2 I have been installing into her how important education is, and under no circumstances should you ever quit, no matter now hard life or school gets. How could I walk away from school now? How could I explain to my daughter that mommy got lied to and I already have us into debt up to our ears...and for what? Nothing as far as I'm concerned. I made the conscience decision to complete the schooling, get my AS degree in Allied Health and Science just so my daughter knew I never gave up, even through all our trials and tribulations through it all. I had high hopes that the extra schooling would he easy to come by and that I could push on through this let down from south university and reach my goal anyways. After a year if having my AS degree u began looking into finishing my schooling, so I began calling all the colleges around my town, even two towns away. My conclusion is that the closes school to finish my schooling is 3 hours in each direction.

This situation that SUO has landed me in has always gotten to me, and I was scared and worried and didn't know what I could do to make it better, take this burden off my family... I still don't know what I can do, but I do not beleive I should have to pay now $29,000 ( tuition went up don't you know) in loans to a school who bluntly lied to me, causing me to beleive that the debt was worth it considering what I would be able to do at the end, and how fast I knew I would be able to pay it back. I beleive this school should he sued for the false information they give you just to hook you in, for not only lieing, but for upping tuition instead of it being a fixed rate that you agreed upon in the beginning of the entire "signing up for school" process. $3000 might not sound like a lot extra but those are extra payment that I still can't aford because of their lies. I beleive we should all band together as one and stand up to this so called "school" and show them what happens when you lie and pray on the dreams and hopes of others, especially those who have the great hopes that paying back a large loan will come easy because of their promised career certifications and degree to obtain such a career.
