CollegeAmerica – Denver Campus

I pretty much regret going here. It felt like a waste of time. They lied to me about the accreditation and I withdrew immediately. Do not go here.

This «school» was the biggest mistake of my life. I urge you to look elsewhere for a more credible establishment for your time and money. I graduated years ago and still have yet to make a pay range worthy of holding a bachelors degree in healthcare administration to pay off school loans.

Biggest Mistake. I was excited to start college, but this school is a joke. Please I’m begging you go to a community college where the classes are cheaper and accredited. The staff is not there to help you succeed they are trained in sales because this is not a real school it’s a scam to take your money and leave you with credits and hard work that mean nothing. Yes this school is NOT accredited, despite what they tell you because they do lie or rather misguide the truth regularly. Why go here when you can get the same transferable credits cheaper at a REAL college. I’m embarrassed to even tell my community college friends I ever went there it’s like a franchise. I currently attend a community college where my hard work counts and my classes are only an 115min instead of 4 excruciating hours. I do about a fraction of the work at my new school as well. The sad thing is all time and hard work i put doesn’t count for anything because ills say it like my new schools admission councillor said it to me this schools credits don’t count for anything because in the education world this isn’t a real school. Save your self the time, money and embarrassment and just go to a real college. Don’t believe me ask your friends what kind of college «College America» sounds like… pretty fake to me.

Ask the dean if they are accredited (regionally being the best and nationally being okay usually good for in state). My wife asked the dean if they were accredited and said she couldn’t talk about it.

I went to this school for the «free» GED tutoring and voucher program, where you take their pretests and when you pass they will give you vouchers to pay for the real GED test. After completing their «classes» in two weeks I went in for my exit «interview» which was really just a ploy for them to push their college on you after you pass the test. I explained to them that I would never go to their ghetto college because of the GED programs complete disorganization. Because I wouldnt play along with their little game, they refused to give me the vouchers I had earned!

they are basicly, while trying hard not to, liars. when faced with questions they have, or want not to answer, you are met with a shrug, a what me worry look, and an i don’t know. not, followed by i’ll find out. when pressed for a reply, they tap dance, or just out right lie. the whole premise here, is TO GET YOUR NAME ON A CHECK, OR GRANT PAPER WORK.
they are the snake skin used car salesmen of «college»
a v o i d like the plague they areon humanity… a boil on the butt of humanity.

Biggest Mistake of my life!
Attending CollegeAmerica was the biggest mistake of my life. I say that honestly and whole heartedly. Thee biggest mistake of my life. A friend of mine said that her brother-​in-​law (whom dropped out as well) went to that school in hopes of achieving a bachelor’s degree in business so I immediately was interested because I was eager to get into the work force and utilize my education. First, I had to go to school obviously.
I called the school and made an appointment with a woman that said she would explain to me what they offered and what their procedure was for enrollment. When I got there she interviewed me and asked me several questions regarding my income and previous school experience. She called me a few days later and told me «…the dean was apprehensive about accepting you because they want to make sure that you’re going to be dedicated. I managed to convince them that I thought you would be a great student.»
I started classes and everything well «OK» for the first few months when all of the sudden I was noticing little things around me that didn’t make sense. Instructors having to purchase materials out of their own money to teach the class (and expressing their frustration with the class), I noticed that in the entire building with all of the students that attended, there was 1 dedicated printer that wasn’t very reliable. On several occasions I was asked to ask for permission to use the admin dept.‘s printer to print my homework. I had to go into one of the administrative staff member’s office and ask if I could take over their computer long enough to print my homework.
After noticing that I may have not made the best decision when it came to picking my school, it started to get worse. Altercations between students and staff were becoming more and more common. I see people being escorted out of the building due to frustration and aggression. I started noticing that there weren’t enough books for the school. At one point the school just started printing entire chapters out of books due to lack of supplies. (School provides books, or… xerox copies of books if need be)
An instructor by the first name of Vanessa one day had quit because she was fed up with the school’s practices. I remember her frustrations were the same as the students’. Myself and 2 other students spoke to the dean and expressed our frustrations with the way the situation between the admin and the instructor was handled and we were asked not to talk about the situation with other students.
Realizing that this college was a bad decision I decided to discontinue my education there temporarily. After the financial aid dept called and explained how close I was to finishing (I wasn’t close) I decided to give it another shot. Upon my return this 300lbs balding gentlemen presented himself to me as «The Dean of the business department.» He said to me, verbatim, «I want to make sure that if we accept you back that you’re not going to leave again, (later I realized it was because it was detrimental to their status as a „good“ college) because I’m putting my foot down on some of the things going on around here… There’s a new Sheriff in town!» I decided not to attend again because I just felt I didn’t want to continue the bad decision.
The financial aid department hardly ever answers the phone, she rarely calls you back and when you do speak to somebody, in person or over the phone, they have to «figure it out and call you back.» Answers to them are not readily available because it would seem that the person administrating that department is not able to make sense of situations herself. She composes an explanation that is so elaborate that it makes you not even want to deal with it.
Allow me to put myself on «blast»
I went to school there for collectively about two years. After finding out that if I didn’t finish the degree I was still going to owe the school tuition for classes that I had yet to take (a fee) I decided to downgrade my major from a BA in business to an AA in E-​Business. I took a couple of «mod’s» in classes and couldn’t stand the yelling in the halls, the lack of supplies, the instructors fighting with students. I discontinued my education and still ended up with a bill of $ 40,000.00 even after (let me repeat) even after, the free money I got as PAL grants. I have no AA degree, I have no BA degree. I was told «if you returned to finish either degree, we would have to charge you more»
I thought about filing for bankruptcy but school loans are not applicable to that solution.
The computer instructor knew he was going to quit and when i should have gotten a high C in the class, I got an A+ because we grew a friendship and he was quitting anyway.
I’m not sure if an attorney would interested in suing me for what I’ve said in this review, to any lawyer that thinks he’s smart to come after me: I OWE 40 GRAND to your client, and I have NO assets because of this. SO GOOD LUCK!
