I believe that there are a lot of factors to consider when getting in this topic. I think that the university of phoenix, as a whole, is a good institution that gives you real life experience to prepare you for the workforce. I love that about the university. when talking about the refunds, things get a little sticky... I agree with both sides of this argument in that area. although there are many that will say that people who are "angry" about not receiving these monies when they are promised, will say they are the people who are in school for the wrong reasons..in some instances, this is exactly the case. but people have to also understand that some people are in school to make a better life for themselves and their families; this means that money may be something that they rely on because they aren't millionaire, they are real life people that have a story and need that extra push. a push that's needed when "life" happens. but there are others who do take advantage of these funds and should really think about a less expensive college or university to attend, that way they receive full pell along with the large and excessive loans they had to take out at the university of phoenix. I like the university while there are some things I don't agree with, I also know that the university of phoenix brand that comes with your degree will open up many doors when applying for jobs in your field. so really you have to take the good with the bad or keep it moving... find something that's more suited because ultimately, as some of the comments stated, this is our money and we should get what's owed to us because we do have to worry about repayment at the end of the road. that is all.
