Review of Argosy University

from Cushing, MN

Describe your college in three sentences.

i was a little sceptical when i received a phone call from a representative at argosy university. after getting more acquainted with the staff at the university it made me feel more confident in starting my adventure at college. argosy university staff are very dedicated to their students and their academic achievements.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

as a single mother of two i understand how scary it can be to start college. i have tried several times but got scared and intimidated by all the paper work and hurdles to jump through. i have been putting college off for 5 years. now that i am in college i wish i would have started earlier. college is exciting, and it gives you a sense of self achievement. my financial worker gave me the time, patience, and tools i needed to get started with my education.

Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?

this is a great question about a school. my biggest fear is thinking i'd fail horribly and have to pay for schooling that i'd never complete. at argosy university they have academic counselors that help you through your journey at school. professors personally call and introduce themselves, and ask how i am doing in their class. i think the reason why i am having such a productive time at school is because of the staff giving their best effort to make everything less stressful as possible. at the beginning of the course they have a summary outlook that shows when all assignments are do, and what weeks are more intense then others. argosy university online has made it possible for me to be a mother, work on my hobby farm, keep house under construction, have a job, and go to college. this university understands how hectic life can be at times, and is very good at working with you to make sure you succeed.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

i can't comment on dorm life to much. i am an online student and live at home on my farm.

Describe the food and dining at your college.

again, i wish i could answer more in depth but i'm an online student. so i unfortunately don't get to experience the foods in or around campus.

What’s there to do for fun at your college?

while attending argosy university i've noticed a lot of friendly classmate. the professors are wonderful. the best thing about online is that i get to meet people from all over the world that have different ethnic backgrounds.

Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?

argosy university is a very well rounded school. always looking for feedback and how to advance their current teaching capabilities, argosy university gives you the education you paid for.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

as an online student i can tell you the home room is very neat and understandable. the curriculum and books are also easy to access. during the course we have discussion every week, which keeps classmates and the professor connected.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

argosy university online is a great college for the average person that can't slow down enough to have a set schedule. online has made it easier for me to go to school and enjoy my family at the same time. this to me makes school more fulfilling as well.

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

i'm a country girl so clubbing isn't for me. having online courses makes it easier for me to enjoy my hobby farm, and have fun with my kids at auctions.

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

i guess i have a some what interesting life. i bring unwanted animals back to health and adopt them to better homes or keep them on the farm. we raise baby chickens, rabbits, and dogs. i want to start a business called guardian shepherds, where i can sell dogs or donate them for specific jobs, such as search and rescue or k9 service for local law enforcement.

How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?

at the beginning of class argosy university was very clear on the dangers of college life. i got to learn about different help sources and ways to stay safe during my time in college.
