Review:

Opposed to many reviews here, I did not feel pressured into enrollment with Ashford. I am content in my decision to get an education with Ashford, and my enrollment advisor is a very laid back, sweet woman that knows what she is talking about with anything pertaining to the enrollment process or Ashford in general. I am in my fourth course and I still keep in contact with her every once and a while, even though I have a different acedemic advisor. 
  My first financial advisor was a dissapointment and it aggravated me just trying to get ahold of him, let alone the ONE conversation I had with him, which proved to be a complete waste of time because of his incompitence. I now have a different financial advisor who has answered any and all of my questions within 24 hours or less. I would advise anyone having problems with one of thier advisors to simply ask to speak with a different advisor, not a supervisor, just a different advisor in that department, instead of complaining about it on a review board.
  I am maintaing a 4.0 GPA, though I am still early in my education, and I have worked hard everyday since my second course (the first course was really easy, mainly there just to familiarize people with the online enviornment).
  I manage a large hotel and am also a single mother, and Ashford has worked into my schedule wonderfully. I find all of my coursework challenging and when I am doing my school work I always learn something new. My instructors, with the exeption of one, have been absolutly great.
  I know for a fact that a degree with Ashford IS accredited, because I have done extensive research to make sure it is; calling various HR departments, asking supervisors of accounting companies and businesses, etc. All over San Diego California, New Mexico, and Iowa(because those are the places I travel to for work). I have not had one company tell me that an Ashford degree is not acceptable. People who say that Ashford graduates are laughed at are rediculious, I don't think we will see anyone laughing when an Ashford graduate is running the business your working for.

Ashford is Awesome!!!!! 7th class and loving it

Great School.  Amazing support.  Worth every cent for a regionally accredited establishment.  Very kind, understanding staff.  Involved.  Challenging...you will learn.  Credits will transfer to almost any college should you choose to transfer.  Apply!!!!!!!

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)
