I was able to utilize the Union Free College Benefit to complete my Bachelor's Degree. Perhaps due to the fact that I paid zero out of pocket for my degree has left me with a favorable opinion of the school, but I very much enjoyed my classes. My program of study was flexible and rigorous enough that I felt like I came away with improved knowledge.

I feel bad some people have had such a terrible experience with this university. It has been a wonderful experience for me. The scheduling is geared toward adult life, which is convenient for someone who works the usual hours that classes run at other universities. 90% of my professors were super helpful and cared about my success.

Excellent experience for those who have lives outside of school. Professors are very accommodating in terms of deadlines, lectures are recorded in case you're unable to attend, and the workload is reasonable with a few exceptions.

Negative reviews, seems some thought adult online schooling meant they would be required to do no work-just pay for a degree. There is a demanding workload but 99% of professors were there to help. Enjoyed while earning my Bach, stayed for my Masters. No trouble getting Fed/State fin aid undergrad even earned a scholarship 4 grad school.

I have been at Franklin for a year and a half and so far, I am very happy. They have a very good online program. Do not expect to be babied here. Franklin is very underrated. I know many alums that have good jobs, just as good as graduating from OSU. Only complaint is the course work layout. They are not made by the professors and can be mismatched

This is a good business school if you're a business kind of person. If you're working full time, this is a good school to attend. Wish they had day classes though.

They claim to be the online school for adults, but the reality that I experienced proves that claim to be negative. The professors for the most part don't treat you like adults, besides the courses require much more work than what you would expect from an adult school. The commitment required are like having a second wife.

This university is a very unknown university, this is my second semester there and I think I will enroll in another institute. Just the COMM 150 is as difficult as a rocket science.

The faculty at this school are only worried about getting paid. The structure of the different programs is extremely unorgainized. I would not recommend this school to anyone.
Overall 1.1
I would not recommend this school to anyone. Some of the staff at Franklin University are unprofessional and abrasive. The advisers and representatives in the financial aid department are extremely unhelpful. Franklin is all about money. Also, the retention rate is poor.

They claim to be a online university for working adults, but they are really not...

Do NOT waste your time at this school . When I needed help , I got none . Advising does not know anything and just brushes you off , instructors do not help . It seems they are only concerned about funding . Choose a more reputable school .
