What are opinions of Phoenix University?

Answer:
I contacted University of Phoenix (UOPX) in January of 2008. I was curious about the courses they offered, I showed some interest, but was a bit nervous. It seemed to be too good to be true, however Steve, the academic Counsellor seemed to have my best interest in mind and wasn't going to pressure me into doing anything. This seemed odd to me considering they have blanketed themselves over every website, career fair and TV station with ads to get students to enrol.
I am upset for the above reasons, and I want to add my voice to the pool of people who have been misled by the recruiters. Maybe its poor training, maybe they don't want people to think its hokey *if the course was demonstrated to you or you had a trial of a few weeks to get a feel for it, you would walk away shaking your head after linking that up with a price tag, and I think that right there is a real lawsuit and I would pursue it if I was a lawyer* so in that respect I would say I even find it deceptive. Had I known exactly how the school was organized, I would have rethought my position in joining, had I been warned that the website didnt always take submissions, I would have certainly made more of an effort to ensure they submitted properly and had I known the teachers couldn't keep track of 10 or so students assignments as they were submitted (once I can forgive, I went off on both teachers for it when it happened, they should have gotten the point then and there that 2k per month means I am paying for perfection on their part. 24000 a year, 72000 for a BA in the IT field that would have been totally worthless as a diploma to any employer
