Attend at your own risk! Everyone who is seeking information about this college let me let you in on a little financial secret. When seeking information about this school, recruiters LOVE to make everything look nice and sweet. They don’t tell you the real truth behind it all. They love feeding innocent H.S. students a bunch of bullsh*t on how you get “hands on” experience. By the way, did they tell you they want more $$$ for that! On top of the $75,000 they want to charge you? OH not only that but those $76,000 doesn’t include all the interest there going to charge. They also like to tell you “OH there’s options! You can get financial help by getting FASFA” You don’t know for sure if you will qualify for FASFA until you’re enrolled. Let’s just say for example you don’t get any FASFA. Say hello to your new $900 something payment a month, 6 months after you graduate!!!! Doesn’t that sound GREAT!! By the way, did they also mention the school isn’t fully accredited! Remember College seekers, DON’T choose Westwood!!! Take it from someone who’s been there.

I wouldn't attend Westwood College This school is not regionally accredited so if you don't finish your degree there your credits cannot be transferred to any other schools. I also heard that many police departments won't accept a criminal justice degree from Westwood College. I wouldn't recommend the school to anyone. It is expensive and cannot be used to earn a higher degree on. Westwood College does include all of this on their web page, but many young students don't understand how this will impact them.

HORRIBLE SCHOOL!!! they are cheats!!!! This school is a total waste of money!!! for the type of education that you receive it is not even worth a dime. first of all, the teachers are not very supportive and in my experience were not very good educators. High school classes were hard compared to what i was being taught here. Teachers would not taker their classes seriously and would sometimes slack when teaching by being unprepared or simply doing what was easiest. They steal your money! who pays 5,000 dollars a semester to learn nothing whatsoever?!?!?! they charge you such a large amount and will do so even if you do not attend one day for the semester. if i was ever to pay 5000 i would attend a larger university and not a technical school. BY FAR THE WORST DECISION I EVER MADE! DO NOT CHOOSE WESTWOOD COLLEGE, IT IS A SCAM!!! THEY ARE ON ACADEMIC PROBATION AND FAIL TO MEET CERTAIN EDUCATIONAL STANDARDS

My advice for those of you who are looking for a good college education west wood is not an answer… stay away from Westwood College. I started but dropout after 3 terms, which I still regretted my wasted money and time.

was I pleased? I went to Westood, found that this school does not care about the students, you were lucky if you talked to your academic advisor once a term. I took online classes and was satisfied with doing online but I hated some of my instructors especially my English instructors. I will not go back to this school ever. Check out schools before you make a choice. It will make all the difference.

worthless school The worst school I had ever attended in my life, because they don't care about the student at all, and the same goes with instructors and tutors. The job is not even garanteed. Most likely is all lies that they are going to help you with a carrer, which they actually don't. Is better to attend a community college, yet is more guaranteed to find the carrer of you're choice and is free, also transfer to a University. Westwood College is a complete rippoff.

Don't go to this overly expensive "school" I went to Westwood Online because I didn't have time because of my full time job. Anyway, after about 5 months, I started hearing horrible reviews about this school so I dropped out 3 days before the deadline. My advisor told me he would send in my request right away and it may take a couple of days to complete, no big deal, so I thought. Since I requested to drop out, I wasn't obligated to go to the classes but they kept sending me letters telling me I needed to attend class and all this other threatening stuff. I kept telling them I was no longer considered a student. Finally after maybe a month and a half, I get the message that I'm no longer a student. Everything was fine. The thing that got me was when I signed up for Westwood, they were not upfront about the charges that would be mine after Sallie Mae provided my loan. They lied to me and said that my loan would cover everything. They push you into a ridiculous amount of debt for a crap college that promises students jobs but not all students get jobs after school. More companies are not considering students from online schools and Westwood has been complained about more than once. I deeply regret going here and now I have 33,000 dollars that I can't pay back all because they lied to me. Avoid this school unless you want to be in debt for the rest of your life after only attending for 5 months!
