Strayer University 3421 Olympia Drive, Raleigh, NC 27603

"Challenging and tough love..where there is a will there is a way."

"Be aware!!!! Be very aware!!!! After serving 10 years in the USMC I set my sites on earning a degree. What I thought was just a limited experience when stopping by Strayer University at the Garner Campus in Raleigh NC to check out the school because a good friend of mine was working towards his MBA at Strayer. The staff was very welcoming and seemed very professional. I took the tour of the school and thought that Strayer would be a great place for me to obtain my education. After enrolling I recieved a call from the Garner Campus Dean informing me that I would not be able to use my veterans GI Bill to pay for school because there was a issue with my account. I wasn't going to pay for school out of my pocket so I informed the dean that I would not be able to attend Strayer University in Garner NC. Fast Forward 2.5 degree's later I'm being contacted by a collections depart informing me that I owe the Federal Government money for a class I never completed at Strayer University. I never once stepped foot in a class at Strayer in Garner nor did I attend any online courses there. I think that its awful that a "FOR PROFIT" school would be so unorganized to mishandle student records (I'm hoping that my records were mishandled on accident and not that the school is receiving funds for students who are not in attendance) to the point where students or non-students are being left to pay the bill for funds they never received. Im in my second semester of Grad school and I'm now hearing that I owe money from a course that I never took back in 2009. I'm not writing this review to get even but I want those who are considering Strayer University for your educational needs to be careful when applying. Double check your paperwork and continue to check your Federal Government Financial Aid information every chance you get."

"Great place. Staff is amazing."

"I was a 3 year Strayer graduate from a different state. I decided to go back so I call this place up. The receptionist was polite but then the admissions officer was a different story. We go through the regular questions, but he began asking some unnecessary questions, like why I would want to get grants over loans and depeneding on what branch of the military depends on how mucb I would be charged. It was either his first day or he dislikes military, who knows."
