    Graduated in 2008 - will be paying these loans the rest of my life. This degree did nothing for me but bury me in debt I'll never get out from.

    Worthless business degree that I worked so hard for. 40k in debt with my second child on the way. Instead of saving for my family and our future, I am paying off student loans.

    I have been going Since 2011 till 2015 to the University of Phoenix. I wanted to find a way to educate myself for something I could do having a disability, being I have different boundaries due to my health. I am a person wanted a better eeducation, and to be able to work in life. I have been working on my degrees since 2011, now going onto my Masters Degree after failing a class school said they had to send the money back and I have to pay them. I wanted to get my degrees done before working. Now I got my As. Degree In Business Administration, after that degree, I wanted to get a degree in psychology to help others this was going to be my main subject, school didn't tell me the digree wasn't excepted on psychology board and that I couldn't get my psychology master degree online, due to the fact I changed my subject to business management being I love working with people. During my master degree is when school dropped me for failing a class and told me my loan was sent back for the classes and I owe them money. My financial counselors was changed so many times through out school I never heard from them, till it was time for my applications to get the loans and pel grants. I had a disability counselor which after school dropping me have not heard from him. Also school had not worked with me on education as they always said on their papers would help find a job and companies excepting their degrees. I went to the nearest counseling company to be able to shadow to educate myself hands on while no one would respond to my actions. These degrees are fraud and companies are not excepting them while school is a lie.. I had teachers who never helped, I had one discriminate against my health on my psychology degree, while reporting to school, nothing came back on what was done to the teacher. I owe around over 71,374.00 and pel grants 26,964.00 that are gone that could of went to a real degree. I want these loans to go away and my pel grants back. I want a real education not a fake. I also believe we should get more than what we paid being they took up our time and life for a real education we would have got. They are false on education and false on helping a person find jobs with the degrees they have. UOP should be shut down and paying back grants and loans, while psychology extra pay to the students for their time and effort taken out there life to something they though would better them.

    I took a year off to move and start a new job; I had four classes left to finish my BSN. When I re-enrolled I was told the program had changed and I would need to complete 14 more classes. When I saw the list of classes, the majority were classes I had already successfully completed through the University of Phoenix. I brought this up and was told the classes had substantially changed, so I enrolled. The first class, if anything, had been dumbed down. I withdrew and took my $20K+ debt with me. I have nothing to show for the time and money I spent. I will be paying for this mistake for years.

    After attending for almost a year I realized I was wasting time and money in retaking classes I had already taken for my Associates through an accredited college. I looked into a local state university and had my transcripts from UoP transferred to them only for them to tell me that every class I took through UoP only counted as an elective. Now I am starting back from the Associates point to attain my Bachelor's. At $1,700-2,000 per 5 week class you would think they could provide better accreditation and support to students. This is only secondary to the administration problems with no available advisers and the financial/adviser team changing randomly every couple weeks. People shouldn't have to pay back loans for services not rendered. The school broke their contract, not the student.

    I received my bachelor's degree from UOP and I have been told it is not a real degree. The worst part is UOP made me retake 6 classes I had already taken through them, as they told me they "expired," just to make more money off me and send me deeper in debt. I am now paying for a degree that is meaningless!

    I was enrolled in the UoP, but I dropped out because the quality of education was not worth the time, effort and cost of the program. I believe that all students who tried to pursue a degree from them should get some type of loan forgiveness.

    I have had great difficulty finding work and truly believe the stigma of a University Degree is the source of the issue.

    The University of Phoenix is a total rip off and in my opinion they are total crooks and getting away with it.... I was told my schooling in 2009 was $230 per class of which I took 6 classes, I paid for them after I quit the school, they went ahead and took out student loans against me for 4700.00 without my knowledge, and now 7 years later I have education credit management coming after me for 7000.00 In my opinion these people are criminals.......

    I received a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Management from the University of Phoenix. I have sent out hundreds of cover letters and resumes for various positions. Unfortunately, I have not been able to obtain any job. I thought for years there was something wrong with me. Now, i understand it is the degree that is holding me back. I have a large amount of student loan debt, due to pursuing a undergraduate degree. The degree, that was supposed to help me get a job, a carrer and have the ability to pay off the student loan debt, is causing the discrimination to gain employment. I would like the University of Phoenix student loans forgiven. It's truly upsetting to now know why I was never considered for employment. All my resumes, cover letters and applications where just thrown in the garbage, because I have this degree. I am so upset. All my hard work, the hours, year's writing papers, reading and researching, all wasted. I am so disappointed that this school continues to exist in this unaccredited manner. Well, I'm asking and begging the U. S. government representatives of the people to end and dismantle this farce and fraudulent activity committed by this institution immediately. We elected you to do the right thing, now do what needs to be done, so no one gets hurt, robbed, cheated, humiliated and lied to again. As well as, save billions of tax payer dollars that could be put to better use for this country.

    60k+ in debt and consistently compounding because I cannot afford the payment. My plan was to get a great paying job to pay this back. No luck... Jobs for what I do don't pay as much as I would have hoped so it isn't much help. My loan payment is just about the same as a car payment.
