South University, Tampa

"I have been attending the Tampa location and It has changed my life in a positive way. This it the first nursing program that I have found here in the south where most of the administration including program directors are African American. That means a great deal to me because I aspire to equal success in life. I also have been exposed to the best encouragement that I have ever witnessed during my entire scholastic journey. I am looking forward to continuing my education including post graduate degree at this institution. I would have never had the drive to continue forward at this institution if it was not for the exceptional staff that are always readily available to help guide you through your experience. Though the use of encouragement and a myriad of resources to aid in your success through your program, you can rest assured that your investment in your education here at South University would be worth the sacrifices and monies spent."

"I would like to start by saying that I began my education with USF which was great for the college experience. Ultimately I chose South University because of the accreditation, better fit with my hectic life and because my coworkers at the hospital suggested it as a reputable place to pursue my Masters in Nursing. I enrolled with the online school first thinking that was the answer but I was not happy at all with the lack of customer service trying to get in touch with people was very difficult and I believe that the online courses do not prepare you for the in depth nature of what you need to know as a nurse practitioner. I took some time off before eventually giving the Tampa campus program a shot which was the best decision for me. Customer service overall was excellent, the classes are only one day a week so it still fit my schedule and the professor interaction was what I needed to feel like I was actually learning something. I also was very impressed at how accessible the school administrators and the director of the program are. It is not to say that there won't be bumps along the road but I couldn't have made a better decision for my life and my education."

"I attend the school now and I think it is a great to to attend. I. attend online and my academic counselors call and help me everything. They have tutoring programs and the teachers online are almost available 24/7. They have as to try and make it as best for your learning. Like if you have been out of school for awhile that ok because the go step by step to help you and give you examples on how your work id suppose to be done. I thank God I am attend because it really helped me out a lot. Plus the people are very helpful to make sure you are getting the best out of your education."

"School rating: 1/5 They are very money oriented and not very helpful. They have a tendency to make things up to get you to sign up. The program is super expensive. They kicked me out because my GPA dropped bellow 2.5. OT Program rating 0/5 I was attending the Occupational Therapy program and had a very bad experience. Five students out of sixteen made it to the last semester, which was above average. All you will be required to do is learn how to write papers. If your GPA drops bellow 2.5 you will be kicked out. The worst professor by far is Kevin Bobos 0/5. He brags about never giving a student a good grade. He is the least educated of all professors and seem to suffer from inferiority complex. By making you feel small he makes himself feel great."

"Basically the school is expensive. Your better off taking the pre-requisites at a cheaper school, because you have just as much of a chance of getting into their programs as the idiot paying their highway robbery tuition rates. They are on academic probation. The administration doesn't want to hear from you. Students are a dollar sign, don't bother them. They have some good teachers there, but if you have a problem , remember , your a dollar sign and not to be heard from . I currently have filed a complaint with The Florida Department Of Education on the school not following their policy regarding a grade challenge. Remember ? You are a dollar sign. They don't want to hear your crap. They charge for parking. 25 dollars every six months."
