South University Richmond, VA. Lie to get students signed up, lie about free classes, lie about time required to graduate richmond, Virginia

Dear Charoltte,

Thank you for your kind words.  Had I been as educated as you before I started SUO then I would not have had a need to attend.

Since I had never attended an accelerated school before, “Yes” I believed what I was told.  You can call me ignorant for believing SUO’s counselors and Dean of Finances if you wish but I trusted them. 

I went to SUO to become more educated and boy did I get an education in scams and how SUO lies to students to get them to attend and spend money.  Not only do I see this as a SUO scam upon me but all so as a SUO scam on our government to get money and stay in operation.   Since this education from SUO, I became more cautious about everything.

 I do not see a way to contact you through this website.  I am very interested in speaking with you.

Dear Irish Redhead,

I am sorry to hear that you too have had to go through the same thing I had to with SUO.  I still have not received any response from the school dean as I was told over a year ago.  If there is anything I can do to help put a stop the SUO's unethical behavior and lies then please let me know.

Being a student there since the school opened I. Richmond believe every word that this lady has stated.  I was lied to from day one by educational advisors, Candice who no longer works there due to her misreprisentation of policies and procedures. The worse part of it I am a disabled veteran and they have continually tried to take advantage of my benefits as well as not doing their job correctly when it comes to financial aid.  

This school is horrible all they care about is money and will do whatever it takes to get that money.  I personally know both people she is talking about and have had the same interactions with them.  I have had the VA repeatedly look I to their practices and they have been told to fix it or lose their VA certification.  I feel for this lady because the school is extremely over prices and the eduactors and curriculum is that of a technical institute and not of a Bachelor program.  

Feel free to email me wih any questions or concerns because I am about to pull out the big guns on their lack of quality of education and involving the VA, lawyers and the board of education and nursing.  This school is not worth the money they charge and I do not recommend this institution do any prospective student you do not get what you pay for and the lies, cop outs and blatant denial of faculty statements is common practice and the response from them is "we are a private institution we can do as we please"

No, this has not been settled yet.  I am still waiting for South University to send me a break down of all the free grants I was told I was receiving each semister that covered the cost of the classes.  All I was ever told by SUO was "It is very expensive."  I would like very much to contact you but I do not see how to do that.

I find this complaint hard to believe.  How did you not know you were taking out loans?  Did you not read anything you signed?  For a year and a half, you thought your education was free?  You can look at the tuition and your financial aid eligibility and do the math as well.  Did you really think that taking 2 classes/semester would allow to graduate in 3.5 years?  I doubt anyone told you that.  You have to take responsibilty for your own actions.  Tuition and academic information is very accessible.  You should be more cautious before signing things and use your brain before making such an investment.  Don't give up on your education. 

Did you ever get this issue resolved?  I was told that filing for bankruptcy would be difficult if they are student loans.  I agree South University is a scam.  Contact me.
