I chose to write about my own
personal experiences at Strayer University in the hope that other people would
not end up making the terrible mistake I made. There are just way too many good
colleges out there to waste your time, money or ruin your credit with these
people.
They charge outrageous sums for classes
that, to put it charitably, would be considered subpar even for small rural a
community college. While there were a
few dedicated instructors and many nice people who sincerely meant well, there
were also quite a few who could barely speak English and did not seem to be
very bright or engaged.
Considering their outrageous cost and poor quality Strayer
could rightfully be called a scam and deserves to be featured in the internet hall
of shame. Now that I have debt that may last lifetime and
little to show for it, I recently I received a letter from their business
office informing me that I owed them approximately 1500 dollars. It seems that by their accounting when I
dropped my last class and left their college for good, my financial aid/
student loan ended, and now I owe them, not Sallie Mae, the $1500 cost of the
class. After the ultimate rip off that is Strayer U.
and the millions of dollars they have defrauded taxpayers out of via the student
loan system, this was just the icing on the cake. Like the guy who had his house robbed and
then got sued by the burglar who injured himself in the course of the robbery I
just could not even believe it.
The money they had received from
Sallie Mae to cover the tuition apparently became no good after I dropped the
class and informed them of my desire to never return. To be perfectly blunt about it, the quick and easy availability of student
loans are one of the biggest factors that lead me to attend Strayer in the first
place. I can only speculate, but I
suspect that many other students chose Strayer University for the same reason
and found out only after they were 10s of thousands of dollars in debt that
they had been had
One can only hope that someone in the government
will seriously reevaluate Strayers continued participation in the government backed
student loan program. They get away scot
free with in effect a multi-million dollar fraud all at taxpayer expense, while
the poor hapless consumer at the end of the food chain is left holding the bag
for life. I can only hope that someday
the people perpetrating these Enron type higher education scams experience
some of the legal repercussions that have occurred to their students over the
years.
