Review:

I was actually one of the people who had the computer problems etc. I thought I got a pretty raw deal from UOP. I wasn't aware from the start that I had to have MS Office. I bought a new laptop to go to school and it didn't have the actual copy of MS Office. So, my trial of the program ran out, and I was unable to submit assignments. I didn't have enough money to purchase it, either. Basically my enrollment counselor just railroaded me through the sign-up process without explaining to me everything I would need to have. He also tried to get me to use my expired military ID card to get further discounts... Basically when I explained to UOP my situation, they kept putting me off, etc. I filed a greivance, and no response yet. This was over a year ago now, and I'm out $750 cash for tuition, which bought me what, other than a hard lesson. They really don't seem to care whatsoever about the students as long as they are gettin' paid!
