University of Phoenix

University of Phoenix has been my college of choice since 2011. I received my Bachelors Degree from here and now I’m working on my MBA. The way that University of Phoenix is designed is great when working with team members, just as you would in any business organization.
The University offers many different programs that are available at the campus or online. I have done both and prefer the campus style because there is more interaction with the faculty as well as your team members.
The university is located in the Topa Financial Building on the first floor. The classrooms are on the upper floors and is the AC kicks in this building so it’s a good idea to bring a long sleeve shirt. Classes vary from day to day but run from 6pm to 10pm once a week. Very friendly staff and they will get you on the right path towards your degree. Perfect for military members who travel a lot because they are located every where.

University of Phoenix is for people who work and have a busy life. Who wants to sit in a traditional class for 4 – 5 nights a week for 1 – 2 hours while you can be at home cooking dinner for your family or enjoying time with family? ME. In the core classes it is intense and stressful but what part of school life isn’t. Honolulu Campus provides free parking that is soooo convenient cause there is no such thing as free parking in Honolulu. The staff are helpful and sometimes annoying but that is just life. The student center is laid back and Jade who is always willing to help and available is awesome and the perfect person to have there! 4 years later I am glad that I chose UoP as my choice of school. Shout out to my academic advisor Keoki, I must say that I have been difficult at times but Keoki always finds the positive in things. MAHALO NUI LOA!!!

I highly recommend this school to anyone who has kids & a LIFE! not saying others don’t but this school required very little sacrifice compared to if i went to HPU which required me to go saturdays or 4 – 5 nights a week just to stay full time. They give military discount for spouses as well! I did not need to use my husband’s GI in order to get the discount. I am 1 ½ years into my program & have had nothing but a good experience at phoenix. I work full time, coach 2 different soccer teams and still have enough time to do my homework and have family time on the weekends. Best decision I made. I suggest phoenix to anyone who expresses the want to go back to school.

not bad of a school for those that need to work and are unable to go to a traditional college because of it. the honolulu campus offers in garage free parking with validation and yes i said free parking something hard to come by in honolulu. student center is nice and normally has someone selling food there as there isn’t many options thats open when school is in session.

DO NOT SIGN UP!
Signed up to request information, then I began getting non-​stop phone calls to my work and personal cell phone. Received 5 calls between 8am — 2pm. I then requested to be put on a DO NOT CALL LIST, and they continued to call without regard to personal privacy.
Do not sign-​up, or contact University of Phoenix unless you are willing to deal with the harrassing phone calls.

Easy to get in; no need to attend classes, self study and pass exams easily. Best teachers are at Mililani Campus. Get in, Get out, Stay out!

Unilocal 365 Challenge #29/​365
I am a Phoenix! Hear me roar (does Phoenix roar?)
Never thought I would use this as one of my 365 challenge reviews but then again… why shouldn’t I? After all, I earned my bachelors and MBA through University of Phoenix, so they deserve a review.
I began in 2004 for my Bachelor’s program. It was a doable program for me. Five week intense courses by attending only one night a week, which left me time with my family, activities, and sanity.
However, I think sanity went out the door in 2008 after I earned my Bachelor of Science in Health Administration because I enrolled right away to begin the MBA program.
So…Bachelors and Associates programs are five weeks. While the Master’s program is SIX weeks.
Let me share that you hear the pros and cons of UOP, which everyone has their opinion ranging from «Is it a real college?»
Yes, it is. It is an accredited university for adults.
Yes, it is an adult university meaning you will be interacting with adults who already or starting their career.
Yes, you work in teams because after all… the team dynamics fits into what you do at work because you interact with individuals who are just as diverse as you with the same end result in mind – getting the job done.
Yes, there is alot of reading, researching and writing papers but hey… it will help you hone your skills for your workplace and personal life.
The locations are convenient as well as their online courses.
I chose to attend University of Phoenix because it worked well for me and I could not see myself starting over in a traditional college. University of Phoenix challenged me to use all the skills I had through my career as well as enhance my knowledge and abilities to be a better employee or team player.
From 2004, the technology for this school has transitioned to where you are now able to review your grades or participate in discussions via smart phone.
My only suggestion is this… if you choose University of Phoenix or any college/​university, don’t choose a program because it sounds great. Choose a program that will align not only with your goals and interests but with a field that is in HIGH DEMAND that will put your degree to good use.

I will be the first one to admit, the fast paced schedule of University of Phoenix may not be for everyone… Its intense, and downright mind-​numbing at times, but for me, its the right choice. The one night a week class schedule is great for individuals who work full time during the day, and cannot afford to leave their job to go back to school. Yes it is expensive, but the cost is close to that of mainland schools (for non-​residents). Yes, there is a lot of material to learn in 5 weeks, but with a good amount of self discipline (and good time management), it’s not really that bad. All the staff members i have encountered are very helpful, and are truly driven to help you get to graduation.
