I went to Florida Metropolitan University Online (FMU). I went part time, got Pell grants and student loans. They swore up and down they were “fully accredited” just like Penn State or other main university. After 2 yrs, and an additional $1500 not covered by grants or loans, I was alerted that FMU was the defendant in a class action lawsuit, based on the LACK of accreditation (they are nationally accredited, not regionally, so the credits are worthless if you plan on transferring).

After I withdrew from that mess, I enrolled with University of Phoenix Online. But if you haven’t already aquired a 2-yr degree, Phoenix puts you into their sub-college type thing. I was basically rerouted into this Axia College I’d never heard of. I got through the intro courses, and decided I’d be better off going to a local community college (accredited properly, less money, and I’d qualify for state grants as well!)

If you choose online college, make sure you check out ALL claims they make. The job of enrollment advisors is to tell you what you want to hear, get you on the books, and then suck you dry in exchange for your worthless ceedits or degree.
