Bryant & Stratton College Online

When I first enrolled at Bryant & Stratton, everyone seemed to be so understanding and compassionate about wanting to assist me with my educational journey. Unfortunately, life happened and after attempting to just push through it, I was convinced that it would be best to take a leave of absence, while I took care of my personal issues. Once I was at a point where I was able to focus on my studies and was mentally and emotionally ready to complete my studies, I was then told that I was not able to... Read More return to school, because I "took too long to get it together." They still processed my Financial Aid application yet told me that I had to reapply in order to return to school and complete my degree program. So, despite the fact that I have only two courses left in order to complete my degree program, they were not too understanding, in light of the fact that I was highly encouraged by the academic advisor to take said leave of absence and to take my time returning. DO NOT ENROLL WITH BRYANT & STRATTON, AS THEY ONLY CARE ABOUT ONE THING: GETTING YOUR FINANICAL AID!!!! If you run into life issues, they will convince you to take a leave of absence, then deny you the opportunity to finish the pursuit of your aspirations! I HIGHLY suggest that you seek the opportunity to achieve your educational goals and aspirations at another institution which is more understanding and will not mislead you when you need adequate, quality support and advice, since Bryant & Stratton College Online is NOT it!!!!

I recently was accepted here and dropped classes immediately after hearing of my financial plan. DO NOT GO HERE. The tuition fees online based on what I got from my financial plan difference was about $10,000. I was going for my diploma in medical billing and coding, it's a 1 year program, however my tuition was $28,000 online. This includes the laptop computer. At best I will make $17 per hour with that diploma. Not to mention, the financial advisors are LAZY they absolutely are not helpful, not... Read More quick with responses and it's almost impossible to get through to them on the phone. He sent me my financial plan, I refused, and transferred me to someone to drop out of my PRELIMINARY classes. The lady I spoke to refused to drop the classes because the date to drop was two days ago BEFORE I knew of my financial plan and how much it would be, ect. They did that on purpose with the hopes I would just only be worried. That the schooling was paid for, but loans have to be paid back....so that's is money they were trying to get without me being fully informed, tried to tell me it was too late to drop and I needed to sign my form saying I accepted the award from the Pell grant. They only want money and try to get the government to pay before you know how much your tuition is going to be. DO. NOT. APPLY HERE.

If a person is paying for a service that service should be exactly as it as sold to be. Meaning the school sold me on the idea that the lectures and information taught would be done so in a way that made success possible. I feel as though even though I am doing well, and currently on the deans list... I have had to do way to much extra research in order to fully grasp the material being taught. It's either too in depth to the point of confusion and irritation or it's not correct. I have personally... Read More done 9 exams and quizzes, more but for what I remember, I had to start taking pictures of my answers for proof of what I submitted because after turning in a test/quiz/midterm/final, I would score a lower grade because there were answers that I didn't pick selected. Some tests give second chances, so when I try again and pick the answer I know to be wrong but the previous attempt said was right, it marks it wrong. This has happened to me many times . 2 times with no ability to fight it. Then we have the grammatically incorrect lectures, so irritating. We have wrong videos posted in lectures- like the time I watched a video about butterflies and the Smithsonian, but was supposed to be about the inter working of a law office. I have had to buy books, that's the instructors never have even had us use, or they say to refer to the book for something, but there was never any teachings as to how to use the book. (Law books are confusing) also there's an issue with paying more to work online at night but there's no instructional support at night, and the teachers have up to 48 hrs to respond to a question for help. In the day and age of technology, one would think there would be a text ability, that gives each instructor a phone to use for texting and receiving texts from students. Not all teachers comment or give feedback on what needs improvement, they just expect you to do better. I am thinking of finishing this semester and then finding a new college. The employees really sell the school, I should've know with such a wonderful sales pitch that the school must have issues. I was right. Bryant, please improve or charge us less. Your choice .

I was offered a "free" course through my employer and was immediately disappointed. The entire time it felt almost like a scam, yet I continued to give it a chance, hoping for the best. However, the school did nothing to quell my worries. They continued to push me, have me wait until the very last minute to prompt me into acting prematurely and expecting me to answer within mere minutes after being prompted. Of course, the free course was falsely advertised, and numerous unknown fees were thrown... Read More at me as I tried to plead my case, while the entire time, my admissions advisor continuously tried to push me into a full degree program with no knowledge of the school or its functions.

This is not a fake review. The financial department at this school is horrible. I told them I wanted to pay cash instead of getting a student loan because I didn't need one. The financial department threw a fit and became unprofessional. The lady that I talked to became angry and told me that they will not help me. They said I had no choice but to get a student loan. I should have known right there that this was going to be a bad decision. I made the bad choice of signing up anyway. Soon after, they... Read More immediately wanted money for the next semester. I sent them a check for the difference of my student loan. They then proceeded to tell me that I have to sign a Master Promissory Note every time I send them money or they would cancel my classes. I told them no because it is not necessary for every payment. They got angry again. So I purposefully canceled my classes. They tried to argue with me and I told them to call my loan servicer and take it up with them. Two days later I get an email from my academic advisor asking me to resume my classes. I told her that I would if I don't have to sign a MPN. She made it happen. They are only out for your money. Another thing, they use old youtube video's to help navigate through their web interfaces that are of no help at all, and teachers have a bad habit of not answering their emails when you need help.
