Review:

I have been attending classes at Kaplan University since September of 2006. I am enrolled in the B.S. degree program for Information Technology. I have found most of the classes here are challenging, the student portal is for the most part easy to use, most of the Instructors seem well qualified and eager to help, the support system and Financial Aid is terrible, and you switch Acedemic Advisors like dirty socks. The thing that has bothered me thus far are the rediculous and almost next to impossible assignments that you get every once in a while. Also, some of the courses are outdated and you are expected to get certain "really expensive" software at the drop of a dime. Another peave I have is that my emphasis is web design, but I had to completely rearrange my electives so that I would get the knowledge that I was seeking. I was assigned to four programming classes and three networking classes. I suggest that if you decide to attend Kaplan,you have money set aside for programs and motivation to complete the writing classes. Other than that, I am happy with the college and the knowledge that I am recieving.
