Some classes where fun but the overall experience is not worth it.Once I was approved and they got my student loan, they instantly stopped contacting me. I do NOT recommend anyone to go here. First of all, once they get all of their tuition out of your loans, the remaining amount they keep. Makes no sense , and that is legally stealing because those funds aren't returned to the government or you. But you still have to pay it back with interest. This school is highly unethical and shouldn't even be open. I wish I would have did more research but I am $11,000 worth of debt because of it. Please don't go to this college.

This is a great college for gifferent generations and ethics all over. Not only are they committed to their students they be sure you have your learning materials. I didn't have a laptop when I first started but they helped me to receive my own. The schedule is very flexible and for a single mom like me it really helps out. I will stay at this school until I graduate and then I plan to go for my bachelor's degree afterwards. I am a freshman this is my first year in college. I just recently graduated highschool and the staff was amazing helping me get enrolled an showing they actually cared about me meant alot.
So far it has been a great choice for me and my. As a single mother If I need something with a flexible schedule and this school has been great. The professors are well educated and help be sure you learn the material.
They are hands on and are available 24/7 if you need assistance. They offer online classes for people who need them.
I initially liked the sit-down environment classrooms with teachers and students. Now all classes are online or Video-conference. At ANU the classes are 10 weeks and you pretty much teach yourself the information with little to no help from the professors.
I am three years into a two year degree and over $30,000 in debt in student loans and they refuse to give me a teacher for my very last class I need to graduate after I've already tried their online class twice and failed it. So it's obvious I don't "want" the teacher but I actually, literally "NEED" that teacher to graduate and be done, so that I can continue on with my life and not have to worry everyday how I'm going to pay off $30,000 without any degree because I didn't have that kind of money before I signed up and I sure don't have it now, despite what these corporate people think. And also while I attended I was harassed by a computer teacher there because I was the only male student in the class, so bad to the point that I had to leave the classroom and my grade suffered in that class because of it. I got news for you ANU, my rights don't deminish just because I'm on your campus, I came there to learn, not be bullied by someone who has authority over me and my grade.
After finishing classes in April and even before graduation I have been told countless times by employers that they do not recognize the credits from this school. The city of Tulsa which is where I moved to try to find work even went as far as to say that I would not qualify for any city jobs.
The actual teachers were good and knew their subjects though often times they would have to do last minute reading to make sure they knew what they were teaching.
My issue is with administration though I am sure they will pass the blame on the students just like the previous one.
In general You would be better off spending the money on a house for a better return on investment. There is a high probability that you will end up in a low wage position after graduating. I obtained 2 different degrees from this school. It will likely not exist in a few years due to its dependence on national accreditation over regional

I thought about giving up, but this school wouldn't have that. They worked with me and I'm doing amazing. I only thing I wish would change would be more in seat classes instead of online.
it is like you are sitting in the class with your lecturer, all support is provided
the school offers great programs and it got the right professors who enjoys nothing but mentoring its students
internships and jobs are arranged after completing the degree, you can even work at the school full time after you graduate. the school offers free class refreshment when needed. almost all companies in Virginia and national wide recognize degrees from this school
The school focus on mentoring students and even offer student grants to international students, we have free transportation to and from school which is the best thing for us international students
With our terms being only 10 weeks long, I have to devote a lot of time to school. I have at least 4-6 hours of homework per class per week.
My school offers free tutoring. It also pays the tutors. I have never needed the tutoring but I have tutored a student.
I have made so many long lasting friendships through my school.
Santa comes for the students' children every year.
