Strayer University Reviews

Strayer University is a diploma mill on steroids. Faculty are forced to have a quick turn around on all grading, like within minutes students submit their assignments. How do they create this fast turnaround on grading? Well, they certainly don't read the assignments and give specific, in-depth feedback for improvement. Rather, they scan assignments and post general comments from an Excel spreadsheet. The university also has a Faculty Feedback generator that helps to generate these comments from this Excel spreadsheet. Basically, they are using a form of automation to post general feedback. It is truly treating students like they are on a conveyor belt in a factory. This process is meant to just push grades out immediately. Think about it: You submit a 4-page written assignment, and you receive your grade within 5 minutes. So students are paying all this money for no one to read or critique their work.

My name is Christopher, and I attended Strayer University online last year. I was accused of cheating on my assignment by the professors, despite the lack of evidence to support their claims. I was pursuing a degree in criminal justice. The professor teaching the class expressed suspicious of my academic integrity without providing any concrete evidence. Despite presenting my side and evidence, the professor remained unconvinced. Professor Catherine also raised concerns about the quality of my written assignments, but no proof was ever presented.

I attended Strayer University and graduated in 2010, with a Bachelor's degree in Business Administration in 2010, with a minor in Human Resource Management; And with the hopes of receiving a good education and a career. Which I did not receive either, not a valid education or a career, in that field of study. After several applications and interviews, I was not qualified for that field of work. I received tuition assistance from my employer at that time and Strayer did not record the payments, and have me owing over $100,000 dollars without record of any payments.

This school is a joke. It's hard to get a return phone call. Doesn't matter which department it is you requested a call back from. They steal money from me and I'm sure other students which is crazy that they would even do that. My refund was 2,100 then it went to 1,998 then down to $1,962. I only bought 1 item at the bookstore for 34.50 so you tell me where that money went and how is it that they give you 465 to spend at the bookstore and whatever you buy gets taken off your refund but know this whatever you didn't spend of the $465 you're not getting that on your refund. I should have stayed at SNHU. This is by far the worst school I have been to yet.

I've been trying to contact Financial Aid Office for the past 3 days. No one has picked up the phone. No has replied to my messages. As you can see in the photo attached the length of time I was on hold before the phone system disconnected my call because they were closed. I would not recommend this school to anyone.

This school is pathetic. Extremely unprofessional staff. I constantly get bills from them even though I use the GI Bill. Just received a bill from 9 months ago after I have been numerous other bills. The Instructors never respond to emails and most of the classes just have you read chapters and do the quizzes with no interaction with the professor. The mandatory forums and answers are all ChatGPT bots that other students use and you have to respond to those generic statements.

Absolutely poor communication, non-responsive, or accountability. I am a single mother, full-time student, and I work full-time, so the financial aid that I receive for living expenses is extremely important. However, for the past year, there have multiple issues with my aid award showing incorrect/different information in iCampus, having to accept aid multiple times because the amounts keeps changing, unable to reach anyone by phone/email.

I am in process to file complaint against Strayer University which is nothing but scam. Worthless experience. Left nothing with debt. I have contacted the department of education which directed me to separate departments where I can file a complaint to investigate this so call school. Please contact me as I can provide application to file against this scammer who ever involved providing fake visa to overseas.

I am in tremendous debt from going to Strayer University. They were not upfront and honest about what I would need to pay back. Now my tuition bill is 3 times higher than what I borrowed. That is crazy for a working person to pay back. Strayer needs to be more upfront about the cost. Would not recommend them to anyone due to the cost.

This school is so unorganized, unprofessional and mediocre! I am beyond fed up, I'm going to transfer next term because every term it's an issue within every aspect! If you don't want to be stressed about finances and academics then go elsewhere because the tuition is honestly overpriced and not worth it! Lazy staff and rude representatives!
