The only reason I enrolled to Everest's online program was due to a possible relocation issue in a differant state I could possibly address.After taking a semester of classes through Everest, I acknowledge I had been scammed and dropped out immediently! The one semester I was in, I was top of the class without even trying while the other half who failed to make satisfactory grades complained while answearing complaints in Ebonics, half replies or no replies at all.

Why should I be impressed if I'm"Top of the class"if the bottom is that low?I was so mortified I completed one semester through this "school", I never acknowledge my one past semester With a 4.0 through Everest purely out of embarrassment that I intended there! Yes, I am a single parent who is striving for a higher education. However, this "institution" takes advantage of single mothers that drop out of high school or college and it's awful these for- profit "colleges" are marketed for you! Please acknowledge this!

I agree with an earlier post I read. You get what you give. If you work hard and participate and ask questions and do all your work- You'll be just fine and no, it's not all easy and a picnic. I have been doing this for over a year and it gets harder and harder and sometimes I want to pull my hair out but if you just stay on top of your reading and your assignments- you'll do fine.

Most of the instructors are wonderful and very helpful and "IF" you end up with one you don't like, Oh well- It's just 12 weeks, Just do your work and move on- As far a job- I don't depend on anyone to get my job for me- I'm still in school, so I am not sure about job placement.

I depend on me-same for my education. If you are serious about school, your education and your not one who quits easy- I highly recommend Everest! Good Luck everyone!

Well. I made a huge mistake by going to Everest. I got my associate in CJ in one year's time. The classes were easy and before I enrolled they kept saying they will help me in finding a job. As soon I got my first quarter done. They change everything and said they will help me in finding a job as soon as i get in my last quarter. Okay so going into my last quarter. Then they said" Oh you have to finish the program to have a careers person help you in your career. I was like WTF?? It's been almost 6 months now, i finished the program and all they can find me are security guard jobs that pay $8.00 per hour. What the hell. ?!?!!? The career person said "you should take the security guard job, gain some skills and it would look good on my resume. My 8 years old daughter could of told me that! OH MY GOD! What a total loss for me. There goes $17,000 in students loans and all they can find me are jobs that don't require a high school diploma. Thank god I have an auto body degree because Everest is a joke. All law enforcement employers told me they never heard of Everest and they don't like profit schools and it's not regionally accredited, nationally accredited is no good. SO I just mess up. I wish people read this before they make the same mistake I have. Also not even after 2-3 months after I finished the program my worker keeps emailing me to sign a waiver to stating that I don't need help in finding a job. Thats how they roll.

I never got my degree. I ran into problems with Algebra class and flunked out. There was no student support. The school's tuition is much higher than any other school.

In general, it is a rip off. They really don't care about you or your situation. I had cancer last year and failed a term due to several surgeries.

The next term was failed also due to health issues. I told my advisor ahead of time what was going on and I was not able to even attend my online classes. It only mattered that they got the student loan money.

I have been enrolled at Everest University Online for about 7 months now. I have never had any negative experiences or problems. I find the staff and professors to be friendly and helpful, If i have a question they get back to me immediately or within a reasonable amount of time.

Basically you get what you give-if you give 100% so will they. Ive noticed that many of the negative reviews seem to come from immature people probably fresh out of high school that do not realize that the college is much different from high school and the professors and staff aren't going to baby you.

In the end its not about them holding your hand every step of the way, its about you being an adult and making choices that will either make or break your educational experiences. So far my educational experience has been nothing but great.
