Stephanie

The biggest complaint I have about the University of Phoenix is the cost. The Financial Advisors are very helpful, but they cannot lower the cost of tuition- therefore, there is only so much they can do to help students afford to attend. I would have budgeted differently had I known how much my education would end up costing me.

Autumn

I wish I would have known how much easier it would have been to attend classes online instead of inside of a classroom. When I first attended college out of high school, I did not do well being inside a classroom. Being able to attend the University of Phoenix online has made my dreams come true!

Angela

I wish I had known more about using Microsoft Word, Excel, and Powerpoint.

Tamara

I wish I had known that online school would not be easier than brick-and-mortar campus. It is more convenient, but more effort is necessary in successfully and productively participating in online school. However, I actually enjoy the hard work and the motivation to work harder. I feel like I am learning more by attending online school than when I attended brick-and-mortar campus.

Randi

The great need for time management

Marissa

One thing I wish I knew before coming to this school was the amount of papers and team assignments we have to do. The advisor spoke about it briefly but i wasn't expecting there to be so much. Overall it has helped me in the long run so I appreciate it.

Vanessa

I wish I had known more about attending college online, how the process works, how an online institute becomes accredited, and how versitile the online aspect of earning a degree can be. Attending college online requires a lot of discipline and self motivation. Having these two treains are crucial to becoming a successful student in the online classroom.

A better idea how much work I was signing on to. However, I have learned so much and appreciate the fact that I am able to accomplish school while working a full time job.

Aimee

I wish I had known about this school a long time ago. My experience here so far has been great. I had previously enrolled with other schools and had not had this kind of experience.

Luz Stella

Nothing. I was well prepared by the Academic and Financial advisors.

Terrie

How easy it was to get all the answers I needed just from an Admission Counsler

Sheemea

Before attending the University of Phoenix I wish I had known how intense earning an online degree would be.

Jennifer

There is only one thing I wish I would have done before I came to this school and that is listen to my father and I would have begun my classes way before I did. He always told me that I was smart and should not wait but to check into going to school but I kept putting off to hang out with friends that led to nowhere. So my one wish is that I should have listened to my father and done as he had requested, instead of waiting until my thirties to go back to school.

Twyla

I wished I had know that you cannot change your AC without changing your FA.

Brianna

When I started at University of Phoenix I wish I would have known that even though my prerequisites were not specific towards my degree, they still serve a purpose to expand and engage my mind. Looking back at the classes I took my first two years I wished I would have paid more attention to the curriculum because there have been several times in my recent life when subjects of past classes have come up but I cannot remember anything I learned due to lack of interest and studying.

Harri

I woish that I had known how convenient it was because I would have enrolled sooner.
