College Network is an internet based College program. For all individuals looking to obtain a college degree, I highly recommend looking elsewhere. College Network is a huge scam and RIp-off. I am not a financially wealthy individual. I am an LVN of 8 years and was looking to obtaain my higher education goals. College Network sends out a sales person to your house and they are trained to put HEAVY HEAVY pressure on prospective clients. The sales person makes you feel as if you have to sign up right now or your fees will be much greater. After enrolling in their LVN to RN program they send out boxes full of giant telephone book sized binders filled with the subject material. There are no illustrations- only back text on white paper. The material you are supposed to study is ridiculous!!!! It is over kill. Instead of teaching "must know information" the material is endless babble on the whole subject. It is impossible to know what is information you really need and what is filler. My opinion is it is mostly filler. It would take a year just to read through the boring useless material they provide as it is all just black text- no illustrations or other material to peek your interest and maximize learning. Some people may not mind this style of teaching but what about individuals that have different learing styles and actually work full time. I would fall asleep or lose interest every time I attempted to read the dull, over kill course material. I am not a dumb individual. I attended an fast track course when obtaining my LVN licensure. I attended a community college program that required attendance 8-9 hours / day and included multiples exams daily. I graduated top of my class and received perfect scores on most of my exams. I have a diverse clinical background including management/administration in my 8 year career as a nurse. I want to study only relevant material to be successful in passing my exams. The rest you learn from clinicals and experience, trust me. I am not trying to become a professor in biology- don't give me material that is impossible to get through and not applicable to my career. They also give you a 2 year time frame to finish the courses. I promise every time you pick up those huge binders of printed off pages, you will fall asleep. As I have stated, there are no illustration, no syllabus to keep you on track, no information how/when to go for exams, if you make it through their endless boring text. The College Network is the biggest rip-off and not the way to go!!!! They will make you feel like you have to sign up today or your fees will be much higher. The materials they provide is ridiculous!!! The do not disclose all fees that you will incur to reach your educational goals but of course they are more than happy to claim their fees and leave you high and dry not knowing what to do or how to do it to reach educational success. If you are like me and learn best with illustrations, interaction, clinical support from professors and peers and a little fun to mix up the learning experience but don't have the time to attend a classroom learning environment, please do not enroll with The College Network. It is a high pressure RIP-OFF!!!!! I can't express my last sentence enough. They will not refund any money and offer NO RESOLUTION for your complaints. They do offer printable "study guides" which are of no help at all. These guides have you reading all of the telephone book nonsense that again is printed black text only in a binder and endless material. I am just an LVN but possess enough knowledge and clinical background too testify that you do not need all that useless garbage that they expect you to study!  have found that RUE is a great on-line opportunity. They offer hard bound actual text books, a daily syllabus, professors that are available to answer questions and a peer chat forum. They outline step by step what is needed to complete assignments and succeed. You still do this at your own pace.
