While this location is specifically on Ft Bliss, this review is not just for that satellite campus,…read morebut for the University as a whole. Park University is located in Parkville, Missouri, which is basically Kansas City. It's a real, accredited school with a real (main) campus that includes dorms, student centers, chapels, medical clinics, cafeterias, gyms and classrooms etc etc. See the photos section to not only see pictures of the Ft Bliss location, but for the MAIN campus in Missouri as well as a cool map showing where every satellite campus is located. Park University offers degrees that can be obtained 100% Online. HOWEVER, I must say, this University is a real school, it is NOT, a "diploma mill". The kind of FOR profit schools that basically have you pay them a certain amount and they just email you a letter with a degree attached to it. Seriously. This is NOT one of those schools. In fact, at this particular location, (on this area there's actually TWO "campuses": 1 on Ft Bliss and 1 in the City of El Paso) Park University has actual professors that offer real face to face, sit down classroom instruction type classes. There's around 20+ classes offered every semester (in person) and literally 100s offered online. If you look at the photos, there's a bulletin board showing what summer classes were offered. Everything from Senior level (400s) economics and business school type things, to Freshman Writing Seminars (EN105), and many others in between. And again, if you can't find something you want (or need based on your degree plan), there's 100s of classes online. Or maybe you just prefer online better? Either way, Park University try's to make sure whatever method is most suitable for you to be successful and to learn, they provide. In person Classes are normally twice a week with everything ranging from Tuesday/Thursday, Monday/Wednesday, or maybe JUST Friday? Just Saturday? Yea that right hard working Americans, SOME classes are offered on Saturday as well so you can still make it. The weekend classes were all morning time. And most of the weekday classes started usually around 1700 (5pm) and went as late as 2200 (10pm). And yet again, I remind you that you can be 100% Online and just stop by the locations for student advisory and assistance. Let's talk pricing. Now everyone knows college can be expensive, but I think we can all also agree that it IS worth it in the end, and it will ultimately pay itself off after so many years of your exciting new career. So let's look at some things regarding finances: Civilians: I've sworn to give my life in order to defend your freedoms. But I can't help ya on this one. Just like ANY school, Park costs $$$. Military Spouses / (maybe) dependents: Its still costs get smart, but your group receives a slight discount in each credit hour. Retired / Prior Service Military: It's getting better! You guys don't pay full price, AND you pay less than the kids/spouses! That's a big discount, but hey - don't y'all have the GI Bill anyways? Sneaky veterans. Active Duty Military: Y'all do a lot for your country, and Park has Promised to give back to you. Many of you skipped college and grabbed a rifle. Park hasn't forgotten your sacrifices and they hook you up. As active duty Soldiers know, WHILE on active duty, you can receive what's called TA (Tuition Assistance). If you're not familiar with it, contact your Go Army Ed or Education Center ASAP. But once you sign up and get approved, the Army will pay UP TO $250 per credit hour, not to exceed $4500 dollars OR 5 actual classes per calendar year. Now then, Park University, like most schools, charges something like $700+ per credit hour. HOWEVER, for Active Duty Military ONLY, they set a FLAT RATE of $250 per credit hour, for any and every class, for as many classes as you ever take. They realize the Army doesn't give you enough money, so they give you approx $500 discount PER HOUR, which equals about $1500 discount PER each class you take. Now then, you still buy your own books, and grades are gimmies: you can be in Iowa or Iraq - you kiss an assignment and you get a F, period. But still, besides books, Park makes sure that the Soldier, while paying for our freedoms with their lives, doesn't have to pay out of pocket just to earn a degree. And yes you read correctly: 5 classes a year. Look, the Army will pay for your school, but they ain't trying to hire and employ FULL TIME students. We got wars to fight homie! So 5 classes a year is plenty so that you still earn credits, but you still work and serve the country that's paying for that school! So starting. From scratch, it'll take ya about 6-8 yrs for that bachelors. Which is FINE, because you're staying in until 20 years anyways, RIGHT?! Right. Park will also evaluate any and all transcripts you have from other educational institutions and apply them towards your degree! That includes military schools as well! Oops. Text Limit. #ParkPiratesMayne!

The tutoring isn't there for some courses. I called one, and he kept repeating to "not waste his time" and said he would give me the answers to the Java I was working on if I bought him something he called "the information." I didn't come here for this crypitic BS. I went to NMSU to learn. I didn't go to play some weird mindgame with whatever double speak the guy was on about. Stop helping people stalk/harass me. You're not filming a movie. They also had 1 teacher who shouldn't have been there. She barely spoke English, so I dropped her class in about a week. Then there was the time I was continually harassed to drop courses. I was trying to go to a local restaurant in town and got a call every 10 minutes to drop courses. I told them to stop calling, and they'd call back again. The food/resources/books are always available there. You became totally worthless after switching everything to online courses due to COVID.

In the small group classes, kids were shown various dental tips as well as tips from the high school students. This was open to students who may have some interest in the field or parents who just wanted to take their kids out for a day and away from video games for a bit. Breakfast and lunch was provided. There were burritos and drinks for breakfast and then penaut and butter snadwoches, yogurt, juice and milk for lunch. I think theu should ahve offerred other options than peanut butter since some kids are allergic to this. Most schools offer at least two items on days when they serve peanut butter. There were several sponsors for the event and Wells Fargo provided the food. I encourage parents to sign up their kids since this is a really good experience.
