This redditor is alleging that University of Phoenix is pretty much a total sham.
University of Phoenix Admissions Rep and former UoP Instructor—
You don’t have a GED? No problem, my boss knows a guy that can get you a GED in three days for $100. No test needed.
You are worried about tuition costs? No worries, we will get you all the “grants” and loans you need. Deferrment is a wonderful idea.
You need cash now? No problem! I can make it so you can a few extra thousand dollars from your student aid by misrepresenting your income, dependents, and ethnicity.
Scared that college will be hard and time consuming? Nope, for $100/class, I can give you an email address to someone who will log in as you, post discussions, do your assignments, with a minimum of a “B” grade.
Failing a class and scared about getting expelled? Tell the dean of the school that your instructor told an off-color joke about racism, sexism, or rape. Automatic A!
Concerned about finding a job after graduation? No problem, we have several outbound call centers that cannot wait to hire you so you can call people to collect money from them.
Don’t want to work at a call center? As I have been told by dozens and dozens of recruiters, if you mention that you have a degree from any for-profit school (UoP, Kaplan, DeVry, etc…), your resume gets thrown away.
Think the government will shut us down? HA!!! University of Phoenix spends MILLIONS of dollars to lobby senators and representatives to not look our way, instead shut down the smaller colleges (Corinthian is the latest victim.)
