Kaplan University-Davenport Campus Top Questions

That thing to manage school and take care of my family was going to be virtually impossible.

The worst thing about my school would be not always getting regular books. Sometimes I just have to use the e-books.

I can't think of a worst thing about this school. Sorry.

The worse thing that I have experienced at tthis point is the communication response time between student and instructor. Often times when I need an answer about a particular assignment or online class problem, I have to wait until late in the day or even the next day before I get a response. By then I am either exhausted from trying to find it myself or waiting on a response.

I attended Kaplan University Online with the base campus in Davenport. I really enjoyed this school. However, it takes a specific type of learner to be able to take online courses. You have to be motivated, determined, and have time management skills. Further, I believe the financial aide department was the worst thing about the school. Everytime you spoke to a different advisor, they would say the complete opposite of the other advisor. Now I owe Kaplan $4750 due to a miscommunication with the financial aide department. Besides that I would recommend this school to aspiring students.

We have weekly seminars where the teacher speaks and the class is in a chat room listening. Sometimes it is hard to get a word in edgewise during class. There are times when I wish I was sitting in class so my voice could be heard. But this is the best alternative I have since I stay at home with my kids.

I feel that the worst thing about my school is the level of communication skills when it comes to the cost of college. I was unaware when I started back in 2007 that there was a limit to student loans for undergraduate students and that my college's tuition exceeded that amount. Therefore, I am currently out of funds and can not afford to pay for the remaining nine classes that I am required to complete to get my BA. It is looking as though I will have to withdraw without a degree.

The worst thing about my school is that the teachers only interact with you online, through emails or AIM. This is the worst thing because if you have a very important question it may not get answered until the next day, or even two days after. I emailed my teacher with a homework question, and the homework was due the following day, I turned in the homework then I ended up getting the emailed responce back from my teacher. I've learned that when doing online schooling you have to be very independent from your proffesors and cope without emailing.

Although my school has substantially helped me become a better student, there are downsides about an online university. There are times I wish I could speak with counselors about my future. I often worry about graduating and not finding work. My professors are great with their classes, but are uneducated about helping students practice or get advice about these types of issues. The other problem I endure about going to an online university is I do not get to experience the full college experience as most students would. For Instance, my communication and involvement with my peers are limited physically.

I like everything about thing about Kaplan.

The worst thing about an on line education was not having the one on one face to face lectures that help a person remember things the teacher or another student has said, but since you are actually teaching yourself, it really doesn't matter. I prefer a live classroom, but because I am an amputee it was an ideal medium for me to get my BSN. With distance learning at Kaplan we had few tests, and instead had to write many, many papers and at times it was overwhelming. I lost alot of sleep getting it all done!

I have no complaints on Kaplan.

The worst thing is nothing every thing is great abnd I ca not say anything bad about the school because it is great and it works for me. It is flexible , it is great because it is available 24 hours a day and you have one week to complete your assignments and kaplan university is a great school and it has all the accreditation north eastern accreditations. Since I been in kaplan every one is so reat and help ful and they all have a great sence of filling your financial aid package and registration a campus to wait long

I do not consider anything to be bad about my school.

I cant really say there is anything wrong with my school at this time , it is very convenient for me.

It is an online school so what I consider the worst thing about it is since it is an online program, there is no face to face interaction between students, instructors and administrators. I work from home and going to Kaplan fits my schedule but it is hard as well because there is no way to "go to" study groups, socialize with classmates and all communication is done via email and online chat.

Classes are only one day a week for me.

The financial faculty department. Their response was slow in answering my questions on financial aide process.

As of right now, Kaplan University Online has been of excellent help. I have not yet experienced anything bad with them yet. I love the open communication that they have and accessibility to all the advisor's that are within reach to help you. I look forward to completing my Bachelor's Degree with them by the end of 2013. All I can say is if they make you feel comfortable and warm, then it's a great school for you to be a part of.
