My daughter enrolled in this online program, and I strongly advise against it. The financial aid department has been a major source of frustration from day one. They mishandled her financial aid right from the start. During the second part of her studies, although she was approved for FAFSA, the school failed to send her a financial aid agreement to sign and mistakenly withdrew partial funds. Furthermore, they did not arrange a payment plan, and their communication is severely lacking—they often do not answer phone calls. Today, they even contacted her, threatening legal action over an outstanding balance of $4,218. They never provided information regarding the financing for the second portion of her education. When she tried to reach out for clarification, they didn’t pick up her calls. It's alarming that they withdrew her funds without her consent or the required agreement to establish a payment plan. This entire experience has been truly distressing. What was once regarded as a top-tier school has turned into a nightmare. I urge prospective students to think long and hard before committing to this program.

I loved going to the school i got my degree is pastry arts even though I was sold on the fact that I would get help from the school to do something with the diploma didn't happen. I went back for my associates degree to and be employed with their school and become a teacher, because I was told by hmm, the people who sell you on the school and student council that if I came back and did the 6 months of associates classes and graduate. I could work for the school or at least get a school. A teaching job with these 2°. Unfortunately, some emergency items things have happened in my life and me and my daughter were almost homeless and health issues hit my family real bad and it seems like the school didn't want to help and the school really didn't care they said, sorry for your loss, but don't forget to pay us. So unfortunately, because I can't get nobody to talk to me or care to take the time to talk, I would not recommend escafier anymore. It was a very disappointing, heartbreaking and upsetting schooling. It really was because I loved this school and I loved the teachers I worked with and instructors, but unfortunately the money part of the situation, they're very heartless and cruel and don't care. All the school does now is call and harass the people they made me put on the application for the school. In closing this school does n9t have the heart i thought did when I first started.
