South University, Richmond — Attraction in Short Pump

Looking for another degree or to switch careers and thinking of South University, well wipe the from your memory.

The education you will receive here is subpar. Why do I say this? The professors race through teaching the curriculum so that you can complete the degree on 18-20 months. When this happens, students are not learning information to retain. Students are memorizing information. Better yet, many of the students cheat to pass so that they won't get put out of their programs. When students report those cheating, it goes in one ear of the staff and out the other ear. How is it fair to those students who are actually studying and not cheating to earn lower grades than those cheaters? When students are going to the professors telling them the students are cheating, why is this constantly being overlooked? Why isn't the President or Dean doing something about it?

If your average is 69.9999, the professor rounds it down to a 69 and not round up to a 70. Honestly, these are some of the most no mathematical people I've ever seen. You learn how to round numbers in elementary school but a college professor round simple numbers.

If you decide to go to the nursing program and decide not to heed my warning, then stay away from LINDA PECK'S class. She teaches one thing in class and tests on something totally different. You're better off teaching yourself rather than going to her class. She lows students to cheat in her class and even sees it for herself and does nothing. While the class portal shows how to calculate grades, Linda has her own way of calculating grades. If you're not Caucasian, then she will discriminate against you in any and every way that she can think of. The Dean and other higher officials let her do whatever she wants. A good professor or educator for that matter wants to see students succeed. Linda likes to see how many people she can fail. What Linda needs to remember is that she wouldn't want what she's doing to students to be done to her.

While the university has recently filed bankruptcy, they failed to tell the current students. Many students found out by it appearing in news publications on the web. The great professors have been let go and staff like Linda remain to wreak havoc on her current and future students.

I don't want any medical professional to work on me that has cheated their way through school. Hence, the very reason you should consult beforehand. Don't forget to check those medical licenses.

If you're a minority, you want to skip South University as they allow current students to post racial slurs etc in social media. When it is brought to the attention of the school no one says anything.

There is limited parking. Many students park at Whole Foods. Therefore, actual Whole Foods customers don't have anywhere to park.

If you're a current student, keep complaining about the wrongdoings of the university. Better yet, take it to the head of South University in Georgia.

If I could rate this so called university with negative stars, I would.

Rushing through a degree and not learning anything is NOT a quality education. It's just all about quantity and how many students can get robbed paying these exorbitant fees and get further in debt while doing so.

Don’t waste your time. I graduated but the majority do not. Your nursing cohort can start with over 30 students and in some cases only 3 from that cohort see through to graduation. Look up the graduation rate and don’t let them suck you in with NCLEX pass rates. I don’t have any idea what they are doing but the admissions process is seamless and then they will kick out 50-70% of students with no way to return. It seems like a huge fraud. I’m not sure how they get away with it. Your syllabus can change at any moment and you have to sign paperwork saying you will comply with the changes or get kicked out. Instructors stated things like “don’t be a noise maker”. They lose paperwork and even have lost grades for classes. Communication is awful. They tend to “lose” a lot of things. Clinical instructors always dismiss class from clinical early and give you a choice to be the only student that stays behind. It’s embarrassing. HCA employees said it’s...

Even if you pay all your tuition, don't expect transcripts. More than 60 days later, with all tuition, fees, AND $10 paid for official transcripts to be submitted, this "institution" continues to be the single thing holding up my daughter's dental school application. Unacceptable lack of service rendered, leading to year(s) of lost wages, unnecessary duress - a fine example of what's wrong with...
