Colorado Technical University CTU High pressure sales tactics, sneaky persuasion and flattery,misleading info, should not be accredited, no real tests, Colorado Springs Colorado
Several years ago, I decided to go back to school. I'd attended college, with success, in several degree capacities. I made the mistake of calling CTU. They used high pressure sales tactics to lure me into the school. My financial aid info. was unavailable to them, so they said, until I'd been in school for a while.
After a time, I got money back each semester, and ended up oweing over fifteen thousand dollars for school. Every time I wanted to just get a BA degree, they encouraged a BS. When in the BS program, they encouraged a MS. Tuition rates kept going up, according tho the level progam...
Classes were a joke. Few students attended, yet group papers were due in evey course. I literally had to write other students' parts of their papers so that I would be able to keep my average up. Speaking of averages, there are no tests that are proctored... I could have been anyone, writing papers, doing homework...
I am very dissatisfied, not because I am a bad student, I had a 3.85 plus each semester. I had to pick up other students' slack, and a professor actually told me "to whom much is given, much is aexpected"... In other words, if I was the only one with enough sense in my group, I had to rewrite everyone else's work and hand it in!
The experience with other students and instructors was extremely stressful. I was surprised that many of these students had graduated high school, let alone work as college students. The professors seemed complacent, bored, apethetic. It was very fishy that the educational environment was such!!!
All in all, I ended up running out of financial aid money, have no degree, owe serious money for financil aid. All for naught :( I cannot afford to go back to school, owe CTU money, and cannot get a job...
