I was surfing around the Florida Metropolitan University website a minute ago and a live chat window pops up. It was one of their representatives asking if they could help me with any information. I talked to her for awhile so it was definitely a real person. That's crazy... I've never seen anything like that. I can't believe their marketing department is staffing online people at all hours to talk to people who just randomly happen upon their site: http://www.fmu.edu/
 
I tried browsing around on there for a bit and nothing popped up. Weird. They must know I already attend UCF 😛
 
What ever you guys do, don't call or email University of Phoenix, those people are extremely aggresive.

I sent an online request for their masters program and a guy called 5 minutes later wanting to schedule an appintment to talk to one of their counselors. I told them to just send me some info and he said that he can't do that until after the consultation.

So I told him I would think about it, they called everyday for the next 5 days until I finally told them to stop calling.

Then a few months later I get a call wanting to confirm an appointment, and I finally just liad it into him that I'm not interested anymore because they keep pesterring me.

They haven't call back since (knock on wood)
