Keiser University Fort Myers — Attraction in Fort Myers

Beware the DSM program and teachers. at least two of the teachers are not there to teach. They are there to weed out "people that just don't get it." and they do this in ways that are, to my mind, completely unethical and cruel.

The first teacher weeds out through the basic physics class that is required to make it into the DSM program as a whole.

The second uses cruelty, bullying, verbal assault and degradation as her tool. She picks favorites in class, turns a blind eye to blatant cheating and feels no remorse at her behavior when she is openly vicious to any student she feels requires this kind of behavior by her. She stands in class on her cell phone conducting personal business, gives misleading information with regards to classes and testing and reads the power points verbatim with no actual teaching of the content to students. This behavior is further tolerated and seemingly ignored by administration. Further enforcing the feeling that students are cash cows and not consumers of knowledge, paying for a product that Keiser is providing.

Don't ever expect to see any of the tests you have taken and where you might need to study further as tests are NEVER returned to the student. Whether this has to do with a previous history of someone cheating or school policy, as a student you can not be certain of where you need to study further as everyone gets the same examples for incorrect answers back.

Be certain, if you are considering this school, to do your research about each individual site. No school is perfect and no student should ever be verbally assaulted by a teacher or singled out for ridicule.

I have had time to rethink my first opinion of this program and the degree obtained. This program, if one can call it that, is driven by the labile emotions of several women. None of whom in my opinion should be teaching, dealing with the public or in healthcare in any regard. These women have the ability to threaten ones career choice as well as financial well being. They push through students they choose to push through and make others struggle with every step.

Teacher M. is more interested in promoting her second career at the expense of class time. On the phone frequently with family, friends and others promoting her "singing" career and bar "gigs". Teacher L. feels free to threaten ones career by making the program more difficult for some and less difficult for others, turning a blind eye to those who blatantly cheat. These so called educators will contact others to make their agendas comes to fruition. They are less interested in teaching than in making their points as to whom they choose to further in the program.

Do not, and I cannot say this strongly enough, DO NOT allow anyone you know to attend this program. Specifically the Fort Myers Campus and especially male students. These women hate men.

I will guess this review will never be seen by those at Keiser who have any ability to change this situation and those people have no interest in changing the status quo of what is now and will continue to happen. I have found in my dealings with these people there is not one person who will or can make any changes when it comes to these women or this program. They are making money off everyone who walks in the door, what motivation do they have.

UPDATE!!! They have proven my point. The director of this program has vindictively blocked and threatened the career of a former student by refusing to sign a certificate of verification. The student completed all their scan time and proficiencies that are all documented through the school. SHAME on you Keiser. SHAME on the Keiser Administration for allowing this kind of...

To whom it may concern,

My name is Christopher Starr, I’m currently in the hospitality program and I have been attending Keiser university since September of 2014. Overall I have been very dissatisfied with your school. My first class was intro to computers and half the time either the internet or the program that I paid for in the text book did not work. I understand this is a private school, but I paid and continue to pay a very high tuition to go to your school and am not getting the paid services. An example is your writing studio, Keiser University prides themselves on this studio and shows it to all incoming students. Yet when I actually used it for my composition class, I got a 70 on my paper. I don’t understand how using your services and having assistance only helps me to get a 70. Shouldn’t both the teacher and the person in the writing studio have the same standards? I mean you as a school, pride yourselves with this writing studio yet only C average work comes out of it, that doesn’t make sense. I was patient with initial classes and hoped things would be better once I started my core classes, but unfortunately that is not the case. Currently I am taking Hotel Front Desk and am upset with the unprofessionalism I am receiving from the professor. The teacher does not follow her own syllabus. Each week we cover two chapters, yet for a weekly quiz we are given 50 questions – this is a quiz yet it seems more like an exam. The first week the entire class failed the quiz, but instead of re-teaching or as any good teacher would do try to see where our misunderstandings lie, she had us spend the entire class redoing the quiz searching for the answers in the book (where was the teaching or planning involved in this lesson?). For the final project, I was asked to submit an outline of my PowerPoint presentation. Isn’t a PowerPoint basically an outline of a presentation? Considering key points are put on a slide so that the speakers then speaks to those points to engage the audience, I never would want my audience to read every word I wish to share with them on every slide, so basically it is an outline. The teacher to this class is Nicole King. In my honest opinion, I feel she is an inexperience teacher who has no class room management and a busy schedule. It seems that this class is not her priority. I should have an experience teacher, who treats this class as her first priority. You as Keiser pride yourself about professionalism, yet I have left class feeling disrespected by my teacher on multiple occasions. There have been several times Nicole made very inappropriate sarcastic remarks to not only me, but to other students. She has even called me a “Smart Ass”. Due to Ms. King’s lack of professionalism I was told I needed to meet with the Dean and had an appointment the first thing the next morning. I arrived early for the appointment, only to find he had a conflict on his schedule. Dean Knox then bragged that he was early for his appointment at Harbor Side. Again a lack of professional courtesy considering no one bothered to call and reschedule my appointment would have been nice. I’m expected to dress and act professionally and work so that I can pay for my tuition, yet my time and work is not taken into consideration when I ask to be treated as a professional. In addition, this meeting between the Dean and I, should have remained between the two of us and not have...

Keiser University is a rip-off-period!!! Listen people, I looked at the reviews for this school and looked the other way because I needed and wanted an education so badly. Initially, everything seems great- truth is, I had a member of admissions tell me that people were getting upset because financial aid did not tell students that they would have to come out of pocket for some of their program, and they had to leave half-way through(because we're talking thousands here)--conveniently, she is no longer there. Don't get me wrong, there are people there that really value their jobs and want to help you, but they can't because their system is so screwed up. I had 3 different stories told to me by 3 different financial aid people. Needless to say, the first one I worked with is no longer there.Keiser is full of hidden-fees and lies. On top of their crazy fees they want you to pay 50 a month "Keisers theory" so if you're a student that is used to having financial aid pay until 6 mths after graduation, forget about it. If you have to apply for a private loan and don't have great credit, they make you apply to all the major banks before they send you to the one that works with people with less than perfect credit, which lowers your credit score anyway. When asked why I should apply to these places when I know that they wont approve me, they said its just their process- stupid process- there are other schools out there, don't choose this one unless you're really desperate and can't go anywhere else- the people that say they're happy there- good for you, glad it worked out- everyones experience is different but ive heard more complaints than kudos for this school- and the people that did well probably have never used their financial aid before and i bet keiser sucked them dry just for an associates- if you're a transfer student you can almost guarantee you will have problems with the...
