Vaughn College — Attraction in New York

As a former Vaughn student I can honestly tell you that their Aircraft Operations major is a scam. If you do not have all of your licenses and ratings, you will not be able to graduate even though you've taken all of your classes! The licenses cost over 88k with only 200 flight hours. Don't forget that in order to fly as a commercial pilot, you must have 1,500 flight hours.

I fell for it. If you choose continue with that major, you will find out that the tuition and the flying lessons are two separate bills! I found out the hard way. Vaughn College rarely provides scholarships or any forms of financial assistance to low income students. My first semester tuition bill was over $13,000 and this was with my scholarships and government funds.

I withdrew from Vaughn after just one semester due to the ridiculous amount of money I had to pay. Even though I left after one week of the Spring Semester of 2018, I was still liable for 75% of the tuition, $3,788.75 and for labs that I never attended which are a separate price. I suggest that you avoid taking out loans, the people who work in the financial aid office are down right rude. Instead of helping you out or finding ways to pay your bills they simply tell you to - take out a Parent-Plus Student loan.

I do not recommend attending Vaughn College, they will suck you dry from every...

They paint a pretty picture and lure you in with shiny promises; that turn out to be rotten ambrosia. Don't fall for the "BULL S" this college rolls out like a automotive assembly line. I went in with a dream of becoming a professional pilot. But now it's all up in the air; due to the fact that admissions and anyone else that is involved in the recruiting process blatantly lies, omits the truth or exaggerates the truth. Don't get me wrong I'm not giving up...far from it. I'm just not going to continue my education and journey to becoming a professional pilot at this college. This college and any others like it should be investigated for predatory recruitment... $20,000+ in the hole and only a few credits to show for it. I AGAIN WARN ALL LOOKING INTO THIS COLLEGE DON'T FALL FOR THEIR LIES AND FALSE TRUTHS!!!! YOU'LL JUST END UP IN DEBT; AND LINING THE POCKETS OF THE HIGHER UP ECHELON OF THIS COLLEGE'S HIERARCHY. A PLETHORA OF STUDENTS ARE UPSET WITH THIS COLLEGE BUT DO/SAY NOTHING DUE TO FEAR; AND OTHER JUST QUIT AT ACHIEVING THEIR DREAMS OR CONTINUE TO CHANGE MAJORS OVER AND OVER.

My son had gone to this school for two years. In his second year, he was called by a major airline with a job opportunity. He jumped at the opportunity. Unfortunately, he had to drop out because of his schedule. He was a week late cancelling the classes, and for the past few years, I’ve been getting bills for over 7,000.00 that was due. He explained it to them, and basically said “too bad, you were past the deadline”. I paid them over 40K, plus the student loan money they received. Fast forward to 2019, and my son’s employer is offering classes for his bachelor’s degree and a greatly reduced discount. Vaughn is holding his transcripts hostage, and won’t provide him with an unofficial copy. I could well understand if, he went for a full semester, and then didn’t pay but, being a few days late past the deadline, is just ridiculous. It’s all about the money with these people. Be a bit flexible and do the...
