South University, Tampa — Attraction in Tampa

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...

South University is full of CRAP, the people who work there are rude, and have no clue of what they are doing. South University only cares about their MONEY ! I am towards the end of my prerequisites and come to find out, only 1 class can be transferred to a different college. Keep in mind South has quarterly(3months) classes and most colleges are term(4months). I have no other choice but to stay and finish the nursing program which I am dreading to do! Registrar and the advisor you are assigned to does not care about any of the students, they favor students. I am having an issue with registering with online courses that they say is "RESTRICTED" but yet my friends have the class online that is supposedly restricted. When you call no one answers, everyone goes by email, even the DEAN LISA SUMMONS. I called and left her a voicemail and she didn't have the decency to call back, she just emailed me. If your thinking about attending South University, please think again and turn the other cheek !! If I had the choice of not choosing the rating by stars, I...

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...
