DeVry University Anaheim Center

Annoyed! This school won’t stop calling me! I told them
I wasn’t interested after seeing the ridiculous tuition and that I didn’t want to take the course they offered because I found it for 80% less at a different place. They kept calling multiple times in a row, so I stopped answering. Their messages were long and basic same crap I heard even though I said I wasn’t interested. Then all of a sudden they’d just call and leave no message. When I did answer, I answered saying they have the wrong number. They STILL don’t even leave messages when they call even after I asked them to stop and even when I said they have the wrong number. They just call and it’ll ring once, they hang up. Then they call again. It’s been like this since January. STOP CALLING ME! I’m not interested and this is the only way to maybe get you to listen and stop.

Devry has offered me a great opportunity to learn at a pace which is effective. The professors have shown genuine concern for the students and want to see them succeed. They are constantly looking for ways to improve the quality of education by reducing book costs, accessing books from your phone, tablet, computer, and are finding ways to make education more accessible.

This campus is not well staffed. I have been attending since 2011 when I got back from my last tour with the Army. While registering and getting my first session of classes, I spoke to the student success coach (SSC) and was told about the offers for veterans. I supplied copies of orders as they requested, but recently found out that the offer for veterans that cuts tuition by 50% isn’t for veterans, but active military. Because of this, I now owe a debt to the school that also did not reveal an increase in tuition until I was told that I could no longer sign up for classes because of a finance hold which was the result of the previous issues. I have asked around to other students, military, civilian, grad, and undergrad and the same general problems were with most students that attend specifically the Anaheim campus. Getting information, or in my case, accurate information, is more painful than pulling teeth.
In short, attending DeVry is not a bad experience, however, attending the Anaheim campus was. I have heard raised and condescending tones used towards other students in the computer lab in front of other students and have been told to go through the «home office» in Long Beach if I want to get anything done. My recommendation to anyone seeking to get their degree in the fastest way possible is to attend DeVry, just not this campus.

I only visited this place once since I received an invitation to celebrate my being on the Dean’s List. I do not attend class at this campus. I have seen better campuses in the nation. Curriculum wise, they offer they the same across the country so the idea of the campus size may not matter to everyone.

Like the school. look cozy.

Don’t waste your money here. There are plenty of better schools and this one, I feel is strictly motivated by money. They kept calling and hassling me to join their program even after I politely asked them to wait a year before they call me back. They didn’t listen or properly schedule me in their data base. It made me assume my tuition was more important than my education. My wife just finished her masters with another school that totally out classed DeVry in every way. She paid about the same as what it would have cost me to attend DeVry but had very personal involvement in making sure she got the most out of her classes. Very rude security and faculty around the campus too. If you love dogs then this is not your place either. They hate dogs and the security will come after you if you walk your dog near the campus. I live next to the building so I have first hand experience… many times over! I mentioned the dog issues concerning the security the last time DeVry called to harass me to attend. Funny enough, they took me off their data base and stopped calling. That worked out well!
