Hi all, I am trying to find someone who has attended Aspen University's RN to BSN program. I would live to hear your opinion. I spoke to an enrollment specialist and she was really wonderful. Any thoughts? I am also looking at Villanova and American Sentinel University.

I don't know anything about Villanova, but last I checked Aspen and ASU were both only nationally accredited and did not have regional accreditation. You'll find some employers (like mine) require a regionally accredited degree and most brick and mortar schools will as well (in case you are interested in a masters degree). If neither of those would be a problem, I've heard good things about Aspen. You might want to check out the ones with the regional accreditation also - yes, they make you take general education classes but that's why they have the higher accreditation. :)
I just checked, Villanova DOES have regional accreditation. So if choosing between those three, I'd go for the RA school all else being equal.
