Review:

     I initially enrolled with Ashford in May of 2006.  I was able to transfer in with 30 credits from my local community college, which was great.  Also, I LOVED the fact that I was easily able to take a 6 month leave of absence when I gave birth to my son in Sept. of 2006.  

     I am currently just a few months away from obtaining my AA in Business.  As soon as I get my AA, I am then going to continue my education with Asford and pursue my BA in Psychology.  So far, just about everything has been great.  My enrollment advisor, Marcus Hillman, has been awesome!  Even though his obligations to me ended after he got me signed up and enrolled in my first classes, he has continued to email me or give me a phone call every once in awhile just to see how I am doing and to give me encouragement.  My academic advisor is Erik Peiperdink and he has also been amazing.  I have bugged him SO many times with numerous questions, and he has always been great about responding to me right away.  The one negative thing that I have experienced with Asford is their financial aid dept! They have switched my financial advisor on me several times...and each one that I have gotten has been awful.  They never answer my questions, or if they do, it is usually the wrong answer that I am given.  

     All in all, the teachers have all been great, I have been learning ALOT in my classes, and I really enjoy the fact that I can work on my assignments when it is convenient for me and my hectic schedule.  Also, I just noticed that Ashford was listed as one of "America's Best Colleges" by U.S. News and World Report, which I thought was awesome.  As for the person on here who did not have a good expereince, what were the names of the teachers/advisors who weren't doing their job correctly?  Because as I said, so far I have had great experiences with everyone at Ashford, with the exception of the financial aid department.  I love this school and I cannot wait to fly out to Iowa in May of 2009 to receive my BA in Psychology!!!:)  (I am not going to attend the ceremony for my AA...I am going to wait until I get my BA)
