    Academy of Art University is a nightmare to deal with. When speaking with the admissions counselor and financial aid rep I was assured my GI Bill would cover the full tuition. Three weeks into my first semester I was informed my GI Bill wouldnt even cover the second semester for the year, and that I would have to attend summer sessions to graduate in 4 years, or attend a fifth year and those were not covered by my GI Bill, leaving me to have to pay nearly $40,000 out of pocket that is not disclosed in any paperwork or on their website. After filling out the withdrawal paperwork from the school, AAU did not let me know for two weeks that my withdrawal was completed, and only after I repeatedly asked. They also refused to provide me with any paperwork. Then I had to ask for 6 months for the balance I owed and for that to be mailed to me so I had it in writing. They never followed through and then sent my balance to collections.

    I think this school is suspicious. Enrolling into this school is a headache. Their financial aid sounds like a scam. I think Academy of arts university should be investigated and closed for stealing peoples money and leaving students in debt.

    I advise my daughter to not go to that school. Now we're in debt and there's no degree. Just a waste of time and money.
