Kaplan University-Davenport Campus Top Questions

The cost. Grants and loans do not pay for me to continue into my senior year without a job.

I choose the school initially due to the affiliation or acreditation. They promised financial Aids to enable me complete my education, which from on set look good. This promise I later found out, was masked with loans which you can not avoid due to high tution fee, which is still rising. It is even more harding on students who do not have jobs or those who are not sponsored by any organization or institution. Because of this, the retaintion and graduation rate turned out to be very low and discouraging.

The worst thing in my school would be that I do not get to meet my professor's in person, I am all online so we talk and work but we have no clue what eachother looks like.

The worst part of my school was the speed at which they pushed you through the financial aid process.

Finicial aid department. Every semester they have messed up my aid package by not filing the correct forms. What happens is that while they are attempting to correct the problem, I am blocked from my classes. They end up unblocking me and never even say sorry.

I take online classes. Right now I have a math class that I'm doing. I was never good in math, but being able to see the teacher write out problems on the black board always made it easier for me to learn. Being an online student you don't get the opportunity to see your instructor and what their doing. Not being able to interact with the students and the instructor face to face would have to the worst thing about my sschool.

The only complaint I have about Kaplan is that you have to wait on additional funding, and extra financial aid checks, to come in the mail (instead of having some form of direct deposit). I guess I'm doing great if thats all I have to complain about!

The only thing that I don't like about my school is that I don't get to see what my teacher and classmates look like. I am unable to put a face with the name.

Working with the Financial Aid department and the teachers also cannot detour from the course study because it is all laid out for them ahead of time.

The cost

I consider the lack of help in finding ways to fund your education the worst part of my school for two reasons. First, it is difficult to know where to find the resources alone. Secondly, relying solely on loans results in a huge debt.

I dont really know of anything that i dont really like.

I take online classes, so the worst thing about that is not being able to interact personally with my fellow classmates or professor.

The worst thing about my school is the lack of help and communication from my academic advisor and financial advisor.

I wish my School would get the required systems in place to Administer the Workfirst Reinvestment Act. I qaulify to recieve this grant because my income is extremely low and I recieve government assistence, but I am unable to recive this grant that would cover the cost of my education for 2 years because they lack the proper systems in place to administer this grant.

N/A

Like several students, the worst thing I could consider about the school is a lack of continual follow up with students after orientation; specifically on the first term, where most students tend to drop out of school because of a lack of support from the internal team or their parents. I think a support team acting as a coach will be very reliable to ensure students are taking the right course instead of using their own skills in order to make the right choice.
