Everest University College Tampa FL
This is the worst college you can attend. The government should close this school down for Identity theft. This school will wait until you leave the school and take student loans out on you without your content. They steal your social secruity # and your driving licenses # and birthday and process a load. When you call the school about it they don't have any information concerning your loans that you didn't know nothing about until it's on your credit report. This school is a scam and they destroying many people future by stealing from the consumers. Everest University don't give you any information about the loans were taking out. They never give you the prices how much the classes cost. Your finacial aid never comes threw caused they want you to take out a loan. The loan prices are very expensive and I advice no one to atten this rip off scaming school. This school need to be shut down for scams and stealing person personal information. This school is reported to the Treasure Office in Washington D.C and the White House. This school will have you hard time attending another school caused of false loans applications. This school don't give you the full details of the budgets. This school don't help no one for education. This school just a money making school and they just want your money caused your future and your credit to hit the negative balance. I will make sure baynew9 find out about your scams a** and every news channel I will post video on youtube to close your school down. Please never attend this school caused all they want is your personal information so they can do what the h*** they want to do. This school is under investigation. I make sure this school will be out of business and never operate in the state of Florida never again.

Everest University Campuses Closing; Senator Warns Consumers Not To Enroll
Students at Everest University (also known as Everest College) – one of the schools owned by under-fire for-profit education group Corinthian Colleges Inc. – received some not so comforting news yesterday: their schools are on the chopping block as part of group’s deal with the Department of Education. And that doesn’t come a minute too soon for one legislator who is now warning consumers not to enroll at the campuses.
According to the Associated Press, Corinthian’s largest entity Everest will close campuses in 11 states.
While it was previously announced that Corinthian’s Heald campuses would be going up for sale, students at the group’s other schools, including Everest and WyoTech, were left in the dark.
Nearly 3,400 students got some answers on Tuesday evening when it was announced that closing campuses would include those in Silver Spring, Maryland; Bensalem, Pennsylvania; Chelsea, Massachusetts; Cross Lanes, West Virginia; Eagan, Minnesota; Fort Worth, Texas; Grand Rapids, Michigan; Kalamazoo, Michigan; Merrillville, Indiana; Salt Lake City; St. Louis; and McLean, Virginia, would be closing.
A spokesman for Corinthian tells the AP that operations at the campuses will gradually wind down and that affected students will receive a formal letter once language is approved by the Dept. of Education.
Students currently enrolled at the affected Everest campuses will have the opportunity to finish their degrees, but some may have to transfer to nearby schools as operations end.
In some cases, students may be eligible for refunds under an agreement with the Dept. of Education. Federal law allows for students at closed schools who choose to not continue their education to apply for a 100% discharge of their student loan obligation. Since the sale/teach-out programs could keep those students moving forward with their schooling, the government hopes to not lose out on the $1 billion or more that it could lose through discharge.
Prior to Tuesday’s announcement, the Everest Colleges, Institutes, and Universities Facebook page attempted to reassure current and prospective students that they could finish their degrees.
However, the school said that per its agreement with the Dept. of Education it could not discuss other details with students.
