Lindenwood University Reviews
1 Review Submitted For Lindenwood University
- Reviewed on: April 26, 2012
Flag Review - Rating:
- Lindenwood doesn't truly care about the students' education. They are more concerned about the Tuition. They would rather a student drop a class, than pay for a simple mistake that was made by their Accounting department. They handled the situation very poorly, and refused to own up to their mistakes. They also mishandle my financial aid.
