This place is one of the worst experiences I have ever had as an online student. They only have limited classes for what is needed. Their advisors are a joke that send out blanket emails that help no one. Their special education department will not make any exceptions to adding you to a class even though special ed is all about helping people. Instead of helping they ask you to take another class even when you let them know that without this class you will lose your job. THEY DO NOT CARE. read more

Stayed here for several weeks over the summer, while working on a project. I roomed with 3 other girls from other universities and I couldn't wait to switch rooms- as the girls were loud, walls paper thin, and beds like sleeping on a bale of hay (and sharing bathrooms with said girls). That being said, it was close access to music venues, parks, and restaurants nearby. Some of the architecture was also very nice, but it was hard getting from one side of campus to another (and especially without a key). There's a beautiful picnic area on the back side of campus, where I spent many a days eating dinner with a family of raccoons. I also enjoyed the rainy days at Starbucks (and, even getting featured in the FHSU Viewbook drinking said Starbucks. Go Tigers!), the empty dining halls during the summer, and the SW chicken wrap (something spicy like salsa, chicken, beans, corn, cheese, lettuce, tomato) from Mondo's Quick Subs. A little expensive for "university prices", but it will have to do read more

So far, so good. With the current job market the way it is, I need to finish my BSN but refuse to go into massive debt at a place like University of Phoenix. I enrolled here because you have the option to be 100% on-line and ultimately their on-line nursing program is the cheapest in the US while still being a legit State University. My academic advisers have been really helpful, usually getting back to me within 24 hours of me sending them a question. A couple of courses each semester is approximately $1000 - which my hospital is paying for + books which you can rent instead of buying. I'm now entering my second semester and have been able to secure the courses I need for Summer and Fall. The on-line "blackboard" program is easy to navigate and straight forward. If I felt like it, I'd be able to continue taking classes and eventually have a master's degree. Because you can go at your own pace and never have to step foot in a classroom, it's a nice a nice alternative for people like me who have commitment issues and like to travel. read more

Visited for graduation. The gymnasium is too small for such a crowd and the graduation lasts FOREVER AND EVER AND EVER AND EVER AND EVER.... So proud of the family that graduated.... SO GLAD to never return to another graduation there... seats were horribly uncomfortable and the place was hot as hell... glad that's over! read more

When you are looking at on-line schools, make sure they have good communication. While the first-line people are very prompt at answering the phones, they are never the person to answer your question or help solve your problem. This is always another person, who never seems to be in their office or respond to emails in a timely manner. I have made my complaints to various levels of the school, and no one will respond. Although they are inexpensive, remember that you get what you pay for. I'm taking my money and earning my education elsewhere. read more

I signed up for this school and when they dispersed my financial aid they sent it to the wrong bank account. They tried to tell me that I entered the wrong account in the system but I had my confirmation email and had also taken a screen shot of what I put in. What they had done was dropped the last two numbers of my account. I called them every day for three weeks and due to this error I was unable to get books. So I unenrolled from school like the advisor told me to. Then I received a bill for $2800.00. I enrolled within the first week of class and there policy clearly says you would be refunded 100% of your tuition cost. So why are they billing me. I called them several times and received several different answers and was told the manager would get back with me. She never did I continued to call and wasn't getting anywhere. Then I sent several letters and did not receive a response. 6 months later I received an alert that something derogatory had been placed on my credit report. It was them. I have called several times and still can't get anywhere. read more

The Fort Hays State University campus Starbucks is quite possibly the worst Starbucks location I've ever been too. My friend Niki got a white chocolate frappe, and they put so much espresso on it that she couldn't drink it. They also refused to make it again, or give her a refund. This treatment of paying customers is ridiculous. I am outraged. I wish I could give 0 stars. read more
