Like several students have posted before me; I had major communication issues w/ the Financial Aide and Student Acct depts.

My Experience with Kaplan
April 11, 2011
AS many have stated in their own reviews, the professors are for the most part excellent! They are well educated, credible, helpful and friendly. Advising was a good experience as well.

This body of the school is what gives people the ammo needed to fuel their rage in ...

My own personal experience is with the Financial Aid department. I recently ...

Experience with the school has gotten better

When I first enrolled at Kaplan I found out after 2 terms and $6000 later that I had been enrolled in the wrong program. It took a few months to get it all straightened out financially. The compliance manager got involved and she was terrific. The teachers that I have had so far are great! The downside of the college is their financial aid advisors and academic advisors. I have had several of each and ...

HATED THIS UNIVERSITY
April 3, 2008
I really hated this school. They are terribly overpriced and the support staff is horrible. You can never get through to people and they don't return calls. I feel that they are greedy and dishonest when it comes to the financia aid and money. Horrible University!!!
