STAY AWAY or else you will be down $200 from non-refundable fees for the first appointment or without a degree!!! Learn from my mistakes please!
Here's my awful experience with Keiser University: I called to request information. Over the phone the lady (I found out later that this was Constance Bogle, Admissions Counselor) asked if I was working. I said that I was unemployed and she told me to come in with an appointment for that day directly after our phone call. I asked for the next day instead. I wanted to see the place and get information because that's what their website says that I was doing. (Once the appointment happens Ms.Bogle says at the very end that I would need to pay $200 upfront for this next day appointment when she knew that I was unemployed.) I was not told that I would need to bring in any money for this appointment.
I wanted an information session. I did not want to attend college. I was manipulated into registering for this college. Now I need to figure out how to withdraw from this lousy "Educational Institution".
I was sat down in a random room all nice. It was basic filler conversations that any pedestrian could have said to you while waiting in line to check out at walmart. Things like: college gets you a degree, you could earn a lot of money, times are hard right now. Towards the end of our appointment I got a crumb of information by accident. She even remarked that she should have said that earlier too. Basically, the students take one class for a month and then they move on.
I did not want to be registered into college. I also did not do the entire registration by myself!! I was shown a laptop and told to fill out the questions. I filled the questions in because I thought that this computer would help to show me information about Keiser University. Ms.Constance Bogle wasn't telling me anything so I thought that the computer would instead.
I was not asked If I wanted to register and I was not told that what I was doing was registering for Keiser University. I only realized later when she kept saying that I would be attending college at the end of August. In my mind I knew that I did not want to go so I just sat there in awkward silence.
After filling out the questions that made me registered into Keiser University, Constance Bogle then takes the computer and does the terms without my consent. She shows me the screen and starts rapid firing through the terms with a single statement about each term. I did not verbally consent to the terms nor did I physically consent to the terms. Ms.Constance Bogle (Admissions Counselor) did that herself.
After this Ms.Bogle says very quickly that I would need to pay $55 and then $145. I did not understand her because of how fast she was speaking. I had assumed these were fees for registering with the university. I did not think that I was registered so I assumed that I did not need to pay those fees. Thus I did not verbally question them. Ms.Bogle keeps speaking and says that I could pay the fees later in the month and then she says that financial aid could help me to pay these fees. The statements were a complete lie because after financial aid she brought the comptuer in and demanded for me to pay upfront.
I am so disgusted at how an established non-profit university could take advantage and scam innocent people. I truly am horrified and embarrassed from this experience that I do not wish to attend college ever again (my experience with IRSC isn't any better).
I was told over voicemail that I would get my refund of $55. I also tried to work with the Keiser University Bursar for my refund. I still have not received my refund and I'm not withdrawn from this horrible Keiser University 2...
Read moreI just graduated with my bachelor’s in forensic investigations from Keiser and I can honestly say it was one of the best experiences of my life. From start to finish, each and every one of my professors has put the work in to make sure each student understands the material they are presenting, they are kind, understanding, and are dedicated to the education of their students. There are a couple of professors I would like to mention, Dr. Record and Dr. Thomas. These professors are what made me what I am today, they are the sweetest, most kindest professors that will push you to be better. They are so understanding and passionate in what they teach, I probably wouldn’t have understood any of my law classes if it wasn’t Dr. Record teaching them. The way she teaches, you have to understand the material. I also like how her classes are interactive. We’re always having a conversation on the subjects and not always the teacher presenting. My favorite thing these professors do is that they share their life/career experiences to their students and the stories are filled with so much experience and knowledge. One professor in particular that has made my experience the experience I would never forget is Professor Major. Without her, I honestly believe the forensic program would not be what it is now. She will push you for better, not let you give up, and will always set you up for success. Professor Major has given us so many real life scenarios/scenes to work on in my program and it truly does set you up for the real crime scenes. I’ve had the honor to experience two autopsies, work with police agencies for a mock excavation, go to court proceedings, and so much more. This is only because of Professor Major. The amount of effort this woman puts in to make the program as incredible as it is, DOES NOT go unnoticed. She needs a...
Read moreI recently graduated from Keiser with a Bachelors in Forensic Investigations. I can honestly say that upon starting, I hated school and wanted to give up everyday. However, Keiser has truly changed my life and I could not be more glad I pushed through.Throughout my academic journey, each professor played a vital role in fostering my growth. They provided unwavering support, helped build my confidence, and challenged me when necessary. Their engaging teaching methods made the learning experience enjoyable and encouraged me to stay committed. Through their guidance, I learned that dedication and hard work truly leads to success. There has been a couple of professors that have shaped who I am and has contributed to where I am today but one professor however, that has truly changed my life is professor Major. Not only has she helped me succeed, taught me some of my most valuable life skills, but has also played a huge part in where I am today. She has helped me grow in more ways than one, has been there every step of my journey throughout my time at school, and never failed to keep a smile on my face. Professor Major showed up every day ready to be the best professor one could ask for. She was ready to teach, ready to help, and ready to push us far more than I could have ever pictured myself going. If anyone is curious about Keiser or apprehensive about starting...do it! I couldn't have asked for a better university to attend. Every staff member is so kind and always ready to help when needed. I graduated not only being confident going off onto my own in the field, but with a job. This school teaches you exactly what you need to know and the knowledge to succeed in your career path. I would absolutely recommend to...
