I APLLIED AT EVEREST UNIVERSITY IN LAKELAND IN JUNE OF 2006, HOWEVER I DID NOT COMPLETE SCHOOL. WHEN I SIGNED UP I WAS NOT WORKING AND WAS TOLD I WOULD BE GETTING LOANS FROM THE GOVERNMENT TO HELP ME AS LONG AS I ATTENDED SCHOOL. SOME OF THE LOANS I GOT,I WAS TOLD I WOULDNT HAVE TO PAY BACK. NOW I AM STUCK IN DEBT WITH OVER $3000.00. I HAVE NOT RECIEVED A LETTER,BILL, OR STATEMENT FROM EVEREST. I FOUND OUT THAT I OWED THEM BY CHECKING MY CREDIT REPORT, IN WHICH THEY ARE ON THE VERGE OF GARNISHING MY WAGES OR MY INCOME TAX. I DID NOT FULLY UNDERSTAND THE LOAN PROCESS THEY MADE AN IMPRESSION LIKE THE GOVERNMENT WAS JUST GIVING THESE LOANS TO ME. I NEVER GOT MONEY TO HELP OUT WITH MY LIVING ARRANGEMENTS BECAUSE THE CLASSES ARE SO HIGH THAT THERE IS NEVER MONEY LEFT OVER FOR THAT WHEN IT CLEARLY STATES THIS PORTION IS FOR RENT, AND OTHER STUFF FOR YOU,YOU END UP OWING THEM MORE. AND WHEN YOU RUN OUT OF LOANS THROUGH SALLY MAE THEY CREDIT YOU MONEY FOR YOUR CLASSES. THAT YOU DO HAVE TO PAY BACK. OR THEY WILL GARNISH YOUR WAGES OR INCOME TAX. THIS SCHOOL IS A RIP OFF FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT GO BECAUSE YOU DONT HAVE A DIPLOMA GET ONLINE AND FIND YOU A DIPLOMA AND GO TO A REAL COLLEGE. NO STAFF WORKING FOR EVEREST HAS BEEN A STUDENT AT EVEREST!! WONDER WHY? THIS SCHOOL IS A SCAM AND A RIP OFF. AS A MATTER OF FACT MY FRIEND GOT HER DEGREE FUNNY THING ABOUT IT SHE CANT FIND A JOB ITS NO GOOD SHE HAS TO GO TO ANOTHER COLLEGE TO GET THE SAME DEGREE OVER!!PLEASE PEOPLE BE AWARE!!

"SHE HAS TO GO TO ANOTHER COLLEGE TO GET THE SAME DGREE OVER!".......I have to disagree here. The diploma/degree is NOT the same at another public and traditional University or College,it is the real deal. Do you honestly believe that what you get at Everezt is the same quality as what you will get at a proper 4-6 year University or 2-3 year program at a College?! I think many people who got screwed over by everest should take a few REAL Uinversity level classes and then compare.....they are worlds apart in terms of quality, depth and material. Everezt college classes are general high-school level material AT BEST! I find it alarming that these skoolz like Everezt and whatever else now have the audacity and arrogance to start designating things like "Masters" degrees and what next "PHDS"?! Give me a break! They are flooding the market with underqualified and skill-less individuals who do not know any better. They should at least change the spelling to differentiate the designations....how about "Mazzsterz" degree or "P-H_dx" at least,so the public knows?! They are overpriced and you get no return on your investment, so to speak. And of course no one who works at these places went there. YOucan bet that they went to traditional universities and colleges. The people who stick up for these schoolz really do not know any better and you cannot blame them. They, like, many people just want to be able to tell everyone they know that they "Have a diploma" and that they "went to college". Unfortunately the bus stops there. As far as jobs and careers and futures and whatever else is promised.....none of that comes true. Just a steady stream of minimum wage, contract jobs IF the "grad" is lucky. Believe me, I have been there and it ain't pretty at all!
