American National University (ANU) (formerly National College) - Bristol TN

The degree is useless but I am still required to have my transcripts from this college sent to the one I am trying to attend now.I went to the website to request them. The payment button worked great! However the button you push to send all of your information so the transcripts can be sent did not work at all. There is no email or any other way to contact them if something like this happens. All of the contact methods on the site are for recruitment purposes only apparently. I have used everyone of them and never received a reply. When I call the numbers I am connected with a recruiter who tells me they don't have anything to do with transcripts and don't know how I can get in touch with anybody who can help me. I went looking for the one in Bristol. It has moved since I attended but I couldn't find it. Hopefully, it has shut down but I doubt it since the facebook and site are still up. I have done everything I needed to do to start at a real school for the fall term but because of this greedy diploma mill I am unable to. That shows you how much they care about their students.Especially Bristol if it is still in business. I sent them a message on facebook explaining all of this and sent them screenshots were I paid but it wouldn't submit my information.They replied with a downloadable brochure.I take that to mean they either don't care enough to monitor it and its automated or they don't care enough to read their messages so they just send everybody a brochure. Definitely avoid this diploma mill like the plague unless you want a lot of debt and nothing to show for it.

Hello residents of Southwest Virginia and Northeast Tennessee. Consider another choice for achieving higher education. This is a For-Profit Institution. They want your money and that is all. Their local networking for jobs is terrible compared to the community colleges and larger schools of King and ETSU. I myself have graduated from here it took me 3 years to find a job even with the schools help. After I found a job myself through a local company. Temp-to-Hire employees were being hired in at a higher amount than what I was making. I am now enrolled in a awesome school, Northeast State!nNational College tuition rate is absurd, nearly $350 per credit hour.nAlso review your local community college for scholarships like TNpromise and TNreconnect. Pretty much two years (FREE) tuition!!!

I graduated from National in May of 2006 I did the Medical assistant program for 2 years red flag flew up when I did my extern ship at a doctors office in town my supervisor was asking me about all these other extern ship I did and I had to tell her I didn't do any other extern ship but that one she was blown away with how this school would just throw their students to the wolves. If you go to this school you will be in debt for a very long time and your degree that you worked so hard for will be useless all mine does is collect dust. This school claims it is accredited but it's not I currently live in Missouri I went back to school here out of 96 credit hours only 1 transferred I had to start over so save yourself some time and money and go to a different school that way you get the proper education

Please do your research and talk to graduates before deciding to attend this College. Be forewarned that the education you receive isn’t as great as Northeast State or Virginia Highlands Community, in fact, you’d be better off attending somewhere else, somewhere much more accredited and recognized as a higher education institution. My “Degree” is useless and I’m so far in debt that it will be absolutely IMPOSSIBLE to pay off before I’m dead. I regret attending National and will warn anyone who is thinking about attending. Go ahead and listen to National student reps sweet talk you a good deal just to sign a whole lot of paperwork that’ll put you in debt, the more students they sign on the more they get paid. I’ve had several employers tell me to my face during an interview that they never heard of National College and then I never receive I call back. You have to really SALE yourself as a great employee to get a job, NOT because of your National “education”. So please, do yourself a HUGE favor and research other schools. AVOID this College at ALL COST. You’ll save yourself money and the hassle of finding a decent career.
