I started attending the University of Phoenix because I didn't know where to start when I wanted to earn my bachelor's degree. While I definitely believe that UoP gave me a good head start as far as confidence and courage, I didn't feel that I was truly learning. When I finished with the basic courses and began on my major's classes, I felt completely lost. The clincher came when I received an A in the class and I had not one clue what I had just "learned". I decided that there was no way I was going to spend all that time and money on a degree only to get a job that I was supposedly qualified for and not have a clue what I was doing. I think this is a good school for those who already have the knowledge they need for their jobs, but need the diploma to get ahead. In short, don't attend this school if you really need to learn the skills!
