I recommend for no one to go to Ashford University — Mar 11, 2010
By flor m, Los Angeles, CA | no longer enrolled

Bachelors in Medical & Nursing, Online only

What can I say I learn from experience not to trust anyone and especially from online university that offers everything, that make it look nice and easy. Don't let Ashford University fool you. It's too good to be true. they are not going to be there when you really need them.

Good if you are not in a rush to get your degree — Sep 10, 2009
By Michelle C | 2nd year

Bachelors in Business & MBA, Online only

I would say it is a good school to go to if you are not in a rush to get your degree. Also, be ready to have funds to pay for your books. It can take some time to get any stipend. Also, you can only take one class at a time and that seems to prolong your graduation.

A good experience — Sep 10, 2009
By Abimael C | 2nd year

Bachelors in Business & MBA, Online only

A good experience. Know your stuff and keep track especially if you have financial aid. Make sure your stipend check is sent out because books run about 100 every 5 weeks. Once it falls into place it should be like clockwork and suprisingly I've had the same three advisors for the two years I've been there. It's a great school and many options for finishing your degree in record time. Getting in touch with advisors was hard.

I would not recommend it as a Psychology major — Sep 10, 2009
By Veronika D | 3rd year

Bachelors in Social Science & Psychology, Online only

For the price it is a good school. As a Psychology major, I would not recommend it. Argosy University is a bit more expensive, but they are APA Accredited and take an interest in helping you find a career. I want to transfer, but Ashford had me take all the non-transferable credits already, so I would lose half of my time here. They screw up my financial aid disbursements every time, too. Their staff does not take a personal interest in you and is knowledgeably challenged. However, it is better than U of Phoenix!

The reviews are from students

They focus on the quality and value of the program and school and their personal experiences with the courses, faculty, peers, student services, financial aid, and other aspects of the program. They are based on the student's experience, not second-hand information or hearsay, and are meant to be relevant to prospective students.
