You said...."What kind of UNIVERSITY would puposely mislead people into spending their hard earned money to try and better themselves, just to rip them off after only a couple of classses." Good question, one many here would like an answer too. Fully informed consumers are happy, and continue to patronize businesses, it's intuitive. Those who are misled get angry and come to sites like the ripoffreport. One assumes corporate leaders are among the best at what they do, so why would these self made men and women conduct business in a way that infuriates consumers? Or which continues to produce a steady stream of bad publicity and legal action? (Links available at UOPsucks.com) My guess is the balance between short and long term gain is one sided. After all, the Times front page story "Troubles Grow for a University Built on Profits" states university recruiting "systematically operates in a duplicitous manner." That can't be good for business....

Contact your student loan lending institution immediately and let them know you have withdrawn from the school. In many cases you will owe very little. I also had a bad experience with U Phoenix in the MBA program and transferred to American Intercontininetal Univ to finish my masters degree. Always let the lender know what is going on. They have to stop the payments they are sending to U Phoenix and stop your obligation on the loan.
