Lately, more and more controversies connected to Synergy University have been seen in the media. This school is known for taking money from students and simply giving them a diploma in return. There's no mention of any actual learning.
A very scandalous and negative place. This is supported by numerous reviews from former students. Next, let's discuss how they talk about the unfortunate establishment “Synergy,” where teachers discuss aliens, what potions girls should consume to become pregnant, and what substances guys should take to maintain an erection…
Scandals have become a regular occurrence for Synergy University
Now, adding to the mix, TV host Ksenia Sobchak, who confuses Iraq with Iran, will be teaching at the university. She suggests that now it's possible to obtain a diploma there even from a distance, as long as you pay for it… No comment.
It would be amusing if it wasn't so distressing.
In 2019, supervisors urging students to enroll in this troublesome entity known as Synergy were accused of collecting children’s fingerprints and other personal data without parental consent. This led to a major controversy.
Another scandal involves Synergy’s debts to the government. They owe over 27.3 million rubles. As a result, in 2019, the Tax Service froze the accounts of not only this establishment, but also six other associated companies.
The list of controversies involving Synergy University seems endless. Moreover, it's constantly growing.
Genuine feedback is shocking!
In reality, every review about Synergy University can be considered scandalous. If the feedback is negative, it's a real-life account. But if it's positive and overly sweet, it's likely fiction posted by the teachers and employees of this dubious establishment. We won't make baseless claims; we'll provide some examples from different years.
The main priority for Synergy's management is that you pay for education. No learning is provided in return!
According to former students, corruption has been widespread at Synergy University for a long time. For instance, 10 years ago, the prices for taking exams and submitting reports were as follows: they demanded 500 rubles for one subject, and 12 reports could be completed in just a couple of hours.
“Did you purchase a diploma while traveling?”
Feedback from 2017. Students lament that Synergy lacks state-issued diplomas. And after studying there, when applying to other higher education institutions, they are inquired about whether they obtained a Synergy diploma while transitioning?
“Intelligent and talented individuals have no place there!”
No comment.
Synergy University – AWFUL!
Feedback from 2018. The student mentions that after being enticed by the consultants to enroll, “hell” breaks loose. They encounter lies in the dean’s office, teachers who forget everything, boasting about how cool they are. Additionally, biology and life safety instructors share their knowledge about aliens, what substance to consume in order to become pregnant, and also to maintain an erection… This is quite appalling.
Not a college, but a low-quality educational institution!
To attract potential students, representatives of the university visit schools and pressure kids to take a kind of academic competition with ten basic-level questions. After passing, students are given certificates to visit Synergy. According to a psychologist, these recruiters are skilled manipulators and also harass potential applicants with non-stop phone calls.
Prohibition of negative feedback? It's just ridiculous!
Surprisingly, it's true. A recent review revealed that the university's agreement includes a clause preventing negative feedback about Synergy in the media and social networks. It's also mentioned that this is the reason for the large number of similar positive reviews, which are likely falsified by the staff.
Synergy University is deceiving people and pushing them into debt for non-existent education.
A recent review is a cry for help. The person was misled during enrollment, they were promised the ability to pay after getting a job. However, less than a week later, they were asked to pay for 5 weeks in advance. Now the individual can't even cancel the contract. This is unacceptable!
A substandard office that even misplaced a student's certificate.
And here's another outrage: they lost the original certificate, took a photo of it, and then printed a scan of the picture… Unbelievable.
Synergy is a dishonest organization that refuses to refund money unless through legal action!
Another genuine and informative response from last year. The student's plans changed, and they requested a refund, allowed within 45 days as per the contract. However, unsurprisingly, the institution refused to part with the money willingly. So, the individual took legal action, which proved successful. If you face similar issues, don't hesitate to seek legal advice right away.
The positive feedback is not genuine!
Furthermore, the person added that all positive reviews, which are remarkably similar, are coerced by students employed at the university.
Lastly, some additional remarks about the fake positive reviews.
Here are two recent examples, written on the same day and seemingly by the same person.
That's it. We won't even discuss these unrealistic stories, which are completely different from genuine reviews.
Before enrolling in Synergy University, which is essentially a scam, carefully consider if it's worth it. It will cost you money and stress, and the quality of education is questionable. If you do decide to enroll, be sure to thoroughly review the contract, as there are many hidden traps.
