Argosy University

The on campus atmosphere is one of support… I have gone there for a while working on a doctorate and am intrigued with the quality of the professors and students. People care and do their best to help you. Highly recommended.

If you are in the military or a spouse, I would advise you not to waist your hard earned G.I. Bill money. Argosy University does not except direct registration for students who need to transfer. For example if you have to PCS and go from Argosy University Hawaii to Argosy Atlanta Georgia you have to reapply again with all your recommendation letters and qualifications and compete with other students. Basically you are starting from scratch. You might as well go to a new school. Also even though the schools carry the same name they are two different school which means they have different standards especially when it comes to excepting your credits they do not care that they are Argosy Hawaii credits. If they do not fit their standards or curricula they will not take it even though it’s all from Argosy University. If you do not believe me doublecheck your research its true.

So I recently completed a semester at Argosy Edu which was a total of 15 weeks and 4 classes. The school work is easy and everything is pretty self explanatory not really a huge challenge when it comes to the education but good if you have a busy lifestyle. The Education Department was very organized, I only wish I could say the same for the financial aid department. They are quick to collect there money but when its time to pay the student financial aid that they are due they slack on their responsibilities. For an example, I recently applied for 2 scholarships and both were approved but financial aid didn’t have proper knowledge on either one of those scholarships. The first scholarship I was approved for was the military scholarship. I served my country and finished with a Honorable Discharge, also granting me full access to the Post 911 GI bill. The military scholarship was for any military personel to use that had a honorable discharge. So long story short, I got approved for this scholarship and everything was going good with processing until I received a call from Hilary (head of financial aid) stating that the scholarship goes to my tuition and not directly to me. The problem with this is the Post 911 pays for 100% of my schooling which means this money went to tuition and the money the GI Bill issued to my education went back to them. So I was pissed off but didn’t get upset until the second time this happened. I got approved for the Merit Scholarship in which I specifically asked the financial aid depart (mainly Hilary because the other two girls Melissa and Faopo were clueless about life). Hilary said I was approved, so once again I was happy because she also said that i would get this money in my account. She sent me an email apologizing, stating I wouldn’t get this money either because this also goes to tuition now just keep in mind my tuition is 100% covered by the US Navy so the question comes into place where does the remainder of that cash go to? Nobody had a answer for this question they just played completely dumb like they were so sorry when they could care less about the fact that they were inconveniencing myself and other students that they lied to about receiving the aid because of their inability to do proper research! This was the final straw if a school shows that they can careless about my needs to survive while coming to the establishment then i could careless the need for them to continuously receive my tuition that I did my 5 years 7 months to Honorably receive, so I decided that I would take a different course of action. Just to remind you I liked the education and I had a 3.8 average at the school meaning I was doing pretty good almost done with Bachelor’s Degree but I decided I wanted to be apart of an establishment that cares about me as well not just making there pockets fat and neglect the very reason they are even in business. Take this as a bad or good review but it is the facts. I am still waiting on Hilary to contact me back with a resolution for the money but haven’t heard from her since the last time she contacted me clueless about what needed to be done. Argosy Edu was the worst school I attended thus far and I warn any student coming here to not depend on them for financial aid because they are incompetent in that area. I didn’t leave Argosy because of the financial aid, I left because of the principle which was if a school doesn’t care about me and I am just someone making them rich then I that school will not be using me for none of there needs.

I recently visited this campus and I was pleased by what I experienced. The staff was great, the curriculum fits my needs, and they have night classes. I hope to attend after I finish my undergraduate studies at another college.
