Comments about Ashford University:
I went to a larger school for less than a year, so knew what I was getting into with online schools. The pressure, the endless calls, the impersonal "what degree do you want to take" question. It was NOT this way with Ashford. My enrollment counselor took the time to find out about me and help me get into the right program. They were helpful all the way through. I'm only in my first class, but liking it so far. Thanks for the help

Comments about Ashford University:
I have not started with Ashford University yet, but will be starting in March, 2012. I wish I would have found Ashford before I started at the University I am in now. I found the perfect program through Ashford which will fulfill my needs to become a LCSW. They knew exactly what program I needed to be in, and not told me that I should be in a program that I would not benefit from. I really wish I would have started with Ashford back in 2008!!!!
Pros

I am 22years old and i am a full time student as well as a full time mother. When i first contacted ashford university my enrollment advisor was very very helpful. She helped me with everything that i possibly need to get set up for school. I called her on a monday and i started my classes on the following tuesday. She kept in close contact with me. When i started my classes she was awesome to be there when i had a small question. I am so glad that i have choosen this school because it seems to really work out awesome for me. The attendance is very easy to met. The help is there when you need it.

Comments about Ashford University:
I am 47 years old, a single mother and grandmother and in September 2010 I decided to obtain a college degree. After reviewing different college information I chose Ashford University. The main reason I selected Ashford University-Online was the attention to detail and information that I received from my advisor from day one. He was very helpful and sincere in wanting me to succeed. Since I began classes with Ashford 9 months ago the experience has been a positive one. I am currently enrolled in my 9th class with AU and although at times it has been a challenge, the instructors and TA's have made it a wonderful learning experience. This method of obtaining a degree is so convenient and flexible that it easy to fit into anyone's schedule. If anyone thinks that a college degree is not within their reach, I would highly reccomend talking to one of the advisors at Ashford. The quality of instruction and knowledge of the instructors make learning easy and fun. I am glad I chose AU over many of the colleges that have online courses available and would highly recommend it.
