University Of Pheonix TRICK TRAP N RIPE OFF PEOPLE Fairfield California
People, please sympathize with me here or your children/yourself would be the victim like me today. I been got trick and trap by this website here. First off all, i was looking for the Ultra sound technician as i was get tin he adverstise through my email. then i click in this link and it ask me to leave the name and number then they would call me back.
Next day, they they call me up and meet me at the office in Fairfield Califnornia, then told me that they do not have the program like i was asked for, however they refer me the other programs but it has to be Bacherlor degree, etc...and not to worry about the financial problem because the Goverment financial aid will help you to cover that... "However, you could be the whatever project mananger ... after i graduate..." (they said and promise me with the good and better future). Then i choose the other program which i like beside the Ultra Sound Technician such as "Computer Security Information".
At the first class, my feelings told me something wrong with this school, i tried to drop and not continous with this school, then they were threaten me and said it too late now because I have been sign the contract and paper, and I could be in debt with colector if i tried to get out with this school. Then they offered me to take one more class so the financial will cover your classes tuition... Now, at the end situation, i am in debt with more then $7, 211.00 for those 2 classes...
In my conlusion, this school are trick and trap for all of us here. Myself, you or may be even your children could be a victim right now and future. I hope our government should shut down this school for good, or otherwise they will continous to trick and ripe off the other people like me.
P.S: I was learn nothing from this school, what i was doing in this school was attend online 1 or 2 hours every day from Mon-Sat and talk all B.S to whatever subjects as teacher and students posted, beside nothing relate to my major. So, it looks like we use the money to buying our degree... And i beleive most students from this school after they graduate they would have no skills at all to their major study beside chit chat online, , , , , , , , However, i was learn my lesson which is $7, 221 for these 2 classes at Pheonix Univerisy. PLEASE DO NOT TRY AT HOME, AND PLEASE DO NOT TRY TO BE LIKE ME.!!!
I am laid off and have no job... i do not know how i would paid them back with this BIG AMOUNT of money. PLEASE HELP ME OUT TO TALK ABOUT THIS TO OTHER PEOPLE, AND PLEASE DO NOT BE A VICTIM LIKE ME.
PHYSICAL EFFECTS and MENTAL EFFECTS: I am laid off and have no job, i also have 1 kid and another one on the way ... now, i do not know how would I could pay off for this debt with this BIG AMOUNT of money.

Sometimes criticism helps. If the person wakes up to the fact that they need to improve their communication skills in order to get and keep a decent jobf then, it is worth the effort. One person here said that pity will not help, they are absolutely correct. The only way to succeed is to get up off your rear, stop making babies and start improving yourself.
You were scammed because of your lack of education. Trust me, it will happen again. Nancy just may be your strongest ally.

You said; ''Not only can't you spell''
Wouldn't it be grammatically correct to say; 'Not only can you not spell''?
Just sayin'. xD

My response was directed at Nancy. Since I do not have any idea how to help that poor man, I did not offer any advice to him. I did however show my support to him by letting Nancy know that that kind of response certainly isn't helpful and answers crafted for the sole purpose of humiliating a person is bad manners.

Ill ask that same question! I cant tell you how many of these college types ive interviewed who cant hardly fill out the application or compose a proper sentence. Especially these degree mill types who want the easy way. Then whine when they don't get their way. I know its no longer PC to say, but you can forget any meaningful employment with the way you come off here. You would be better served in working on your grammar and spelling before anything! Contrary to what the bleeding hearts tell you. It does make a big difference. Also lose the self pity! It shows. My dad always said: If you want sympathy,look in the dictionary! Its between S--- and syphilis!"

Nancy and Elaine, neither of you are being very helpful. Yes, the OP could benefit from an English course, but you have to admire his desire to improve his life with an education! Maybe it will keep him out of the bedroom :-)
To the OP - the reason you have such a large bill is because you don't get all your financial aid if you go part time. Therefore, you get charged (and are responsible for) the tuition for the two classes.
This is not a rip off. It's a classic case of the student not reading the paperwork and rushing into school before he has all his facts.
Please don't give up on your education. You'll need a good job to pay all that child support!

You wrote: "Did yuo even graduate from high school?"
Uhm...it appears you may not have. Next time when you offer a suggestion designed purely to make you feel superior and the consumer dumb, ensure you have ALL of your words spelled correctly.

Before you worry about becoming anything, you need to take a class called English 101, or maybe get the book," English for Idiots". Not only can't you spell, but your grammar is awful. My 8 year old grandchild is easier to understand than you are. Did yuo even graduate from high school?
