The College Network

I thought the were an actual collegeThey are a prep program and a crappy one at thatThey won't give me my money back and are horrible at helpI would never recommend anyone use them

I honestly feel that The College Network is a scamThe representative met me at Wendy's on my lunch breakShe rushed me to sign paperwork and told me that I could take about days to decide whether the program was right for meI took one class and hated itThey lied about offering assistance through the courseI called and explained to them that this learning style is not for me and that I would not be able to obtain a nursing degree in this manner Not to mention, I really do not feel safe taking self taught classes and only days of clinicalsThey told me that I only had days to change my mindI was confusedThe representative did not mention that partShe must earn comission for the amout of people that she signs up because she rushes through it so that you won't focus on the day part! In my opinion, days is not long enough for a person to decide whether or not they feel comfortableand cocompetent with a nursing program You haven't even started the course in daysTOTAL SCAM!

The College Network representative was a fast talking individual that implied the program will assist you with the RN program at Excelsior as well as assisting you with college courses. I signed up with the college network, the rep ask to retrieve my transcripts from a previous college in which they acquired. I contacted Excelsior and received information they are not affiliated with the college network. I then called both The college network and Southeast financial to cancel the contract and was informed it was after the three days, I am now paying monthly to this financial institution for a program I have begun. This has been a complete nightmare and a scam on behalf of The college network and Southeast financial. I had been informed by a rep from southeast financial that several individuals have made inquiries for retribution against both of these companies. The college network are fast talking,roping words in circles until the end of conversation all I heard was fulfilling my goal

I was convinced that I would be able to get a degree through this site, through high pressure sales tactics I signed up and that has been a $10,000 mistake. I learned within just a few months that I had made an error but by that time there was nothing I could do, so I ended up paying all of that money for absolutely nothing.
