Avila University

My university where I received my BS in Nursing. Loved the school & my instructors!

The book rental service the school insists you use by building the cost straight in to the tuition cost is a nightmare. I have to contact customer service every time I have to make a return. Also, some of my textbooks are always late. I never have them all before the first day of class.nI am having an ongoing battle with the business office about a bill for the classes I dropped. As per the refund agreement I signed, I had until the start of class to withdraw for a full refund. I did and I have emails (with date and time stamps) between my academic adviser and I where I asked to be removed from classes and was told it was handled before that deadline and I am still getting emails pestering me to pay for a portion of the class. When I call no one seems to know how to fix it. I am starting to believe this is all one big scam. I have also taken off work to go to the financial aid office with an appointment to be told the lady I was supposed to meet wasn't in that day and I should have received a cancellation email which I did not. I missed four hours of paid work and drove an hour and twenty minutes each way for nothing. Then she emailed me the next week and asked me to come in again to handle business which I could not do because I need to be at work to make a living. Lunatics are clearly running the place. Garbage institution. Would never recommend.

I attended Avila for both undergrad and graduate degrees. I had a exceptional experience! The class sizes are small, the professors are dedicated to the students, and the campus is beautiful.

Loved going to school here and soaked up a lot of great work experiences but I wish I would have gone somewhere not as expensive.

Called for Deanna Johnson just to ask a few questions about an event and she hung up on me. Not sure if this is the way the University wants their staff to treat people.
