I'm going to be as transparent as possible and not sugarcoat anything. I truly love Chamberlain University, and I am doing very well academically, maintaining a 4.0 GPA across my courses. The only reason I am giving CU a one-star rating is due to how the university is structured and how difficult it is to get assistance from certain departments, specifically Financial Aid. Trying to get in contact with them has felt like asking Mr. Krabs for the Krabby Patty secret formula. I use that comparison lightly because, honestly, this situation has caused me an overwhelming amount of stress, and humor is the only way I can cope with it at times. The issue: I have been receiving the same automated emails from multiple financial aid advisors requesting transcripts in order to process my aid. This issue began in October 2025. All of my transcripts were originally sent via Parchment prior to acceptance and enrollment, so I was confused as to why they were being requested again. Regardless, I reordered official transcripts a total of five times and also submitted unofficial transcripts at the request of a financial aid "supervisor." After submitting everything, I heard nothing back, despite sending multiple follow-up emails directly to her CU email address. Fast forward to February 2026, and this issue has been ongoing since October 2025. I am still without financial aid and unable to register for classes due to a financial hold placed on my account. In total, I have spoken with approximately 15 different financial aid representatives and three supervisors, in addition to extensive back-and-forth email communication. Despite all of this, I never received clear answers or concrete information regarding what documentation was supposedly missing or required for my aid to be applied. I was repeatedly given the runaround. Supervisors openly stated that they did not have access to see what information was being requested from me and were unable to assist beyond submitting "tickets." I currently have documentation showing 10 separate tickets that were submitted--not a single one was ever resolved. As a student who has done everything required on my end, including spending over $100 on official transcripts ($20 per transcript), I feel that the university failed to meet basic student needs. There was a complete lack of transparency and accountability, especially regarding financial aid, the most critical component in allowing students to successfully attend school without unnecessary stress. Chamberlain's financial aid department provided zero support throughout this process, and this experience nearly pushed me to the point of unenrolling. On top of everything mentioned above, my account was selected for an enrollment verification process, a process that should not have taken nearly four months to complete. All required documentation was provided numerous times and consistently neglected. Additionally, I received a DocuSign document from Chamberlain in November/December 2025 stating that my aid was approved and would be applied to my account. Despite this, I received yet another email from Financial Aid just last week requesting the same documentation once again. As of January 27, 2026, I finally received a call from Kristopher McKinney, who was the most kind, understanding, and apologetic representative I have spoken to throughout this entire ordeal. He informed me that they had received yet another transcript from Parchment and confirmed that a DocuSign approval was visible on my account (which I had already received months prior). He stated that the aid should be applied soon. While I am grateful for his professionalism and outreach, I will not believe this issue is truly resolved until I physically see the financial aid applied to my student account, regardless of how many "approval" documents I receive. Academically, this has been one of the most successful times in my life. Unfortunately, the lack of support from the financial aid department has overshadowed that success and created unnecessary stress that no student should have to endure. read more

OMG it was a very interesting Open House on May 17,2016. I fell in love with the place, staff and nursing program. Leslie was very patient and understanding when we spoke about me looking to attend. I am so excited that I am going to apply. They gave out so much information that with all they offer it seems impossible to fail unless you just doesn't do the work. They helped me make my decision to go with Chamberlain instead of ANY OTHER nursing school. Here to a successful career starting soon... read more

Chamberlain University - Irving - Waiting patiently to leave for the Chamberlain School of Nursing open house... - Nursing Schools Near Me - Irving, Texas

This school is a waste of money and time. Money hungry is what defines them, they do not care about their students nor help them when they are reaching out about problems with the campus. Don't waste your time attending this garbage dump read more

Beware. I was promised that I could take proficiency exams to get credit for being an LVN. Every time I would talk to someone they said they would get me the information I needed but they would never get back to me. They have been giving me the run around for 11 months and are now saying it's too late to get credit. Because of this , I'm now 4 months behind on my anticipated completion date. Feels like a scam so they can get as much money out of you. My advice is to ensure you get credit for any classes before starting the program. read more

Campus doesn't care about it's students. The entire class reached out to the teacher and Dean/president about a new teacher that has a history of failing students at multiple universities. She has been previously fired for it! We are in our last semester and have a grade of F, since the second week of school. We are so close to graduating and about to fail out of the program. Some of us will be struggling financially after we fail. Maybe even homeless. The teacher doesn't show up to the tutoring sessions and says she forgot. She doesn't value student time. We meet with her every week yet she tells us we have a processing problem all of sudden. She teaches one thing in class and has. Another thing on her study guides. Then on the exam it will contradict and she will tell us study the book! The president/Dean doesn't do anything especially after voicing our concerns. Don't come here it's all about money. The Dean even stated to another class mate to appeal she will allow her to come back in. It's all about money, if they push you back they receive more money from you! If you quit your job and took financial aid out to pay for your education, you're stuck with that liability! No degree! read more

I wish so badly I would've listened to the people who told me this school was just after your money and only interested in wasting your time. I spoke with Erica Perry back in May, along with two of my friends. We were assured there were no waiting lists and guaranteed as long as we provided documentation on either a diploma or GED with transcripts if we had them, we would be accepted into the fall program upon passing their version of the hesi exam. I hope no one goes thru this process with this school because they have done nothing but bs me and waste my time. After I not only passed their hesi exam and provided proper documentation, I couldn't get anyone to contact me back. Meanwhile I had my current school on hold for enrollment in the fall since Erica guaranteed i'd be accepted into their program for the fall. Long story short, I had to contact the Houston campus just to try and get some answers on what was taking so long. Erica then gives me an excuse claiming the comity was awaiting completion on my summer courses. I was never told this would be a factor for enrollment and they refused looking over my file until I finished my summer classes. I informed Erica and the advisors at the Houston location that wouldn't give me enough time to send them in transcripts, so they instead denied me for no reason!! Did I even mention the fact that they were going to try and charge me up to $1500 just to update my vaccinations?!! They did me a favor! Not only is their entire department either always sick, or not there; but they are incompetent and simply don't' know what is going on much less what they are doing! Please, everyone do yourselves a favor and stay away from this school! Learn from my mistakes as I should've learned from the current students and previous entry applicants. Good luck! read more
