"I feel like I'm taking part of Zoey 101"

"Steep campus and it makes me tired walking around, but it does have great views of the ocean on a good day."

"Graziadio Business School hosted the sixth annual Most Fundable Companies event last week, once again displaying its firm commitment to entrepreneurship. This school and its leaders have built a reputation for themselves in the community regarding entrepreneurship and leadership that sets them apart from most other business schools. For those seeking to make their mark as an entrepreneur, Graziadio Business School is the ideal place to study. Describing the Most Fundable Companies event as “inspirational” or “amazing” would simply be inadequate."

"I’ve been watching the Nickelodeon TV show Zoey 101 and I know that it was a film here. It’s a really good show. I have it on Paramount plus and Netflix and. I watch it a lot Britney Spears sister, Jamie was the star of the show and Britney Spears actually wrote the theme song to the show if you’re a really big fan of the show, you and Britney Spears, and her sister. You should watch it you’ll recognize the campus. It’s still a classic show today. Next time I check out this campus I’m gonna be thinking of Zoey 101."

"This school is approximately $95,000 a year and it's online. I attended their Masters in Legal Studies online program and it's my worst college experience to date. The program isn't worth the expensive price tag. It's not what I expected. I was given grades lower than what I earned based on this curved grading system. When I complained I was given lower grades to try to grade me out the program. After earning 16 hours of credits the Associate Academic Dean of the Law School used my University records to dig up personal information unassociated with attending school. After having a bad experience at the school I decided to request a refund. Instead of just refunding my tuition they demanded that I sign a settlement agreement instead of just providing a standard refund. This agreement demanded that I give up any rights to speak about my experience and to never file a lawsuit. They refused to increase the amount to something reasonable because they had also contacted all my prior schools and bad mouthed me. They also contacted the state and IRS to tell these agencies that I was receiving the funds and included language in the settlement agreement that would authorize them to do so. They were. Planning to send the refund to the state and IRS after signing instead of giving it to me. They refused to allow me to register, thus holding my degree hostage. and ultimately trying to leave me with nothing related to the tuition refund. After a thorough review of the agreement I decided not to sign it. They had used my personal information to bad mouth me to my employers, post documents with my personal information and any other public information they could find. Suddenly there was a bunch of negative information about me placed on the internet unassociated with me that I believe the Dean posted or had someone else post. Then when I removed my financial aid from the school it was discovered that the school had put all types of false statements on my financial aid file in an attempt to prevent me from attending another school with my financial aid. The next school I went was kind enough to inform me if this negative information. Then after taking the last 3 classes suddenly I was getting bad grades on my homework and other assignments. I don't recommend this school because it was very expensive, the administrators appear racist and very insensitive to African American people. . I have proof of my experience and many students are disappointed but stay because the credits will not transfer to another school. It's a financial trap that will leave you with credits you can't use if you don't do well in the program, get flunked out the program and graded out. Instead of the instructor providing the grades in the class a committee gets together to decide who will get good grades or not in the program. The grades come out 4 weeks after the class is over. They use this grading system that's ultimately discriminatory because it's not based on merit it's based on this committee deciding if your good enough to receive a degree from their school or not. Most people just leave and move on. I wanted my degree and it's very hurtful how mean and cruel they have been to me. Now I have over $65,000 in student loan debt and no degree. Go to another school your better off especially if you are African American"
