I started Strayer University in Spring 2010. I was very excited about the school and the way I was treated. Loved the teachers and looked forward to classes. Flash forward Fall 2011. There was some confusion in signing up for the fall quarter but I was reassured by the business office that there was no problem and my voucher was released so I could order books.
I started contacting the business office in Oct. 2011 to find out about my financial status. I was trying to enroll for winter classes. No one in the office knew what was going on. There is one in the office that I talk to, the others have a tone and roll their eyes.
I was not allowed to sign up for the winter quarter and since the Christmas holiday was at hand I had to postpone the communication til after the holidays. I started back in contact after Christmas and before the New Year. That is when I was told I had lost my pell-grant and that I had to make payments of $240 a month to continue classes. I was told the government didn't cover all of the tuition. Since I could not afford the payments I was forced to with hold from taking classes. In February I received an email saying that I was past due on my account and they were turning me over to collections.
I contacted the business office again. Low and behold they found that I had lost my pell-grant before the fall quarter and had failed to let me know. Now I am stuck with having to make payments, small as they may be, and I am not allowed to get my transcript to see about another school. I am 5 classes away from having my Bachelor's and I am now in Limbo and due to pay the loans back with no degree to show for it.
I feel that this was very unprofessional and there should have been more communication. Arrangements could have been made before it reached this point. Also, I am making payments and still receiving letters of collection and collection fee's in the process. I am very frustrated and will not recommend this school to any one. The right hand doesn't know what the left hand is doing and it causes pain for the students.

Honestly, Strayer has its flaws but so do all the others. Just like the companies we will be working for. I am satisfied with the professionalism of the facility and staff. My overall experience at Strayer was good. I learned alot and made connections with people from all different backgrounds.

This is the worst school EVER! They blatanly lie to your face, they are very unprofessional, The Dean talks to you on the speaker phone, I asked why do she do that? She said because she's typing, I asked have she heard of headset because you could clearly hear people conversating in the back ground which was causing her not to hear you so she asked me to talk louder???? WOW, really Dean. The she stated she needed to call me back, of course I didnt hear back from her. If you at all disagree with any decision they will completely give you the run around until you quit.
NOWWWWWWWWW you owe them this huge amount of money. One person in financial aid says you owe it to the school, another one says to student loans but no matter what you owe it to someone and they want it but still dont know who! Did I say they are very unprofessional at the Cobb County GA office. They are totally pass the buck type system operation. They are by far the worst education system in the world.

I have attended Strayer for 2 years and am Graduating this summer. The entire time I was with Strayer the instructors were for the most part not qualified.
For the expense (which I did not pay for myself)the education recieved was little to none. I am obtaining a B.S. from there with a 4.0. So as you see I am not complaining about paying, or about my grades. However, like the title stated this school is entirley unprofessional.
Most every semester I recieved a teacher who had zero expierience and they fired shortly after only to give us another non-expierienced teacher. The reason I have a 4.0 is not becuase I am a guiness allthough I would like to claim that to be so. It is becuase the teachers were inexpierienced and not knowledgeable about their class at all.
Well,not all there were a few really intelligent and professional one but they were to few to count in the overall scheme of things. I even went so far as to contact the president of Strayer regarding some of the lack of instruction I was recieving and he too blew me off.
Financial Aid is another matter entirley and it has yet to be solved, three months and waiting. They have a centralized FA office but a student cannot contact them directly and must go through the campus who like a chicken with their head cutt off will give you the run around until you give up. Which is where I am at. I do not need the money for classes and I have paid for books this far myself. So no worries.
I have heard some problems with degree confferral, I hope not to expierience them. However, let this be said prior to graduating I applied for a few jobs listing my upcoming B.S. and it was basically worth BS coming from Strayer. So save your money, time, and effort and go to a more affordable, reliable known institution.
