$100,000 in student loan debt

After 3 years of attending, I owe what seems to be getting closer and closer to $100,000 in student loan debt for a useless degree for a career field that doesn’t pay half in a year than the cost of that ‘education.’ – Westwood College Student from Washington State

My degree is worth nothing

I was told then by Kathy Wallace (enrollment rep.) that there would be no problem with transferring my credits from westwood to CU to continue on and recieve my masters in Architecture, that they were accredited and cheeper ….

I later found out around 2 or 3 months before I graduated from my 21 month program that, Not only had they lied about cost but i cannot transfer my credits anywhere to continue my degree.

Westwood held a school meeting and told everyone that they no longer were accredited but that they should have the accredidation back within 6 months and we would all then be ‘grandfathered’ in and our credits would then become transferrable.

This of coarse, has yet to occur. This upset me very much because then i couldnt figure out what the hell i paid for in the first place. Not only was my degree worth nothing but I am in debt for 35000 dollars (and getting higher) because of it.

I, at first, had the apex loan that they lied to me about and said it would only be at 6% and later turned out to be at 18% interstest rate.

Terrible teaching practices and standards

In these two terms, I managed to develop an opinion of terrible teaching practices and standards, and flat out lying about financial affairs at least in regards to my own. … I’m being charged for Apex loans I never agreed to, and I was heavily harassed by bill collectors….I was encouraged on at least one occasion to forge my own attendance on a day that I had to miss most of as well.

Lied to by Westwood agent

I was ripped off by westwood college. I wasted many years on a fake education and non-transferrable credits that isn’t worth anything in the real world. I was lied to by an Westwood agent when I first met and they told me that all my credits are transferrable…at the end none of them were….

I was never helped getting a job when I asked which was part of the deal. Their accreditation & quality of education is worthless. Please help.
