I am trying to get the word out about my bad experience with South University RN to BSN online. First of all it was very high pressure, make a quick decision effort on their part. I have found other blogs and forums mentioning the high sales pressure of South. Others were turned of, I wish I had been so lucky. They lied about the tuition, I was told $190 a credit and it is really $308.00. Nothing is sent my mail or email. I was pressured into quickly applying for a student loan. I was told as a part of my application fee they would request my transcripts. Then today when I figured them out and the director of admissions hung up on me. They had me enrolled and singed up without reviewing my transcripts and are now telling me after 2 classes, that my student loan will not pay for the classes I already took b/c they did not get the information, and now I am responsible for coming up with $2500.00 at the last minute. The pressure sales made it out to be an easy quick admissions process and I was gulable. The pressure was so bad, with tons of phone calls and emails, that I did not have time to read the fine print or think.
Another bogus thing is that I was never told that my upper level nursing courses would not transfer. The instructors are not that great either. When I would have a question it usually took 2-3 days for a response. The assigments were also vague and unorganized and my grade was penalized as a result.
Nurses today are under pressure to get a BSN and this is one of the many so called colleges that are taking advantage of it and trying to make big money. I think also it is a get you in and get you out quick scheme to make a fast buck. I have reported this to the BBB and anyone else I can think of and would encourage all to do the same.
Hind sight being 20/20 why would an institution admitt you to class if they had not gone over your transcript? And, they are suppose to be accredited. For what, I don't know.
