I attended Devry University here in San Diego, CA for a single semester. I was quoted $50,000-$60,000. for a 3-year bachelors program.

The first bills arrived in my second week of class. I was attending half time and only taking a single math class at the time. The cost for a single math class was over $5000.!! I started asking questions immediately. I finished the semester and got an A in college Algebra, (Math 114). By now I was really concerned with the astronomical bills. My bill was well over $10,000. for a single math class. In addition, I noticed I was being billed for supplies and books which I had paid for out of my own pocket. I was promised a refund by the staff at the school as they said I was overcharged inadvertently at first.

I left Devry and went straight to the California State college system and have successfully completed 2 semesters there since leaving Devry while maintaining a 3.87 GPA! I am no dummy. I got an A in Calculus and Trigonometry during the last 2 semesters so if there is one thing I can do it is add and count. And Devry's bills are completely bogus and designed to rape as much money from each student as possible.

In addition; all the tests at Devry were untimed and Open book!!! And you take them from home, including all of the mid terms and finals. This was too easy and I got to researching the real value of a Devry degree.

What I have found is very low respect for candidates possessing a Devry degree. Oh sure, a Devry degree might help you move ahead at your present job but go out into the job market with that degree and people will laugh behind your back. You might as well just make one in a graphic program and print it yourself. It will have as much value in your future career.

If you do some research about Devry you will find tons of complaints like mine. Do yourself a favor; skip out on Devry and the other private colleges. Go to a real school.
