This school is a perfect example as to why for profit schools should not exist. They treated the content like IP and were more concerned with trying to protect it rather than disseminating the lessons for learning. The professors were corrupt and biased. The racism I experienced was not pleasant either.

The admissions team was amazing when I got there (of course I had an appointment) the wait wasn't long at all. The next day I went to see the financial aid, which didn't take much longer then any other college that I had gone to. The teachers are really nice and help you when you need any help with assignments. The tuition is pretty high but it is a private school that helps when you ask for what you need in a polite manner. Though I am upset that I can not rollover all of my previous credit from the last college that was closed down, I'm still happy that they have taken what they could!
All around great staff and great school

I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS UNIVERSITY!!!!
Positive reviews come from admissions counselors at SOUTH UNIVERSITY. BEWARE!!!!!
I had a really bad experience at South University and yes I would agree with the statements about them being all about the money. I was told my transfer credits were approved, BUT once I was enrolled—signed all documents—then they told me that I had to retake more classes $$$ (again, after being “approved”). Tuition is ridiculous, I was charged well over $4,000 for 2 classes. Now they won’t even release my transcripts until I pay off this amount. BE CAREFUL!!!!
The institution is disorganized, and I got mixed information from different people. I never knew who was in charge of anything....
It all seems smooth and nice until you sign up.

BTW I received both As in my classes, this is an honest review based on my experience and it doesn’t come from “someone who’s not doing what they are supposed to”

I am an alumni of South University and I only experienced a great experience. I see people posting reviews that the school only cares about your money, which is not correct. There is a student academic progress process in which the students who are not doing well academically will be given the opportunity to improve their grades. If they do not, they will be academically dismissed from the school. The professors care about the students success and help in any way that they can. I highly recommend South University. The tuition if not cheap, but if you are looking for small classes, individualized attention and success...South University is the school for you. I feel that some people on this forum were not doing what they needed to do to be successful and they should own up to it, not blame the school.

And the only reason they get three stars is because the professors actually care. I had money that was supposed to be disbursed to me two weeks ago, and I'm still waiting for the money. And when you try to call them to get an understanding of what is going on, they don't answer the phone. I left five messages and still no answer. I went to the Columbia Campus before Palm Beach and I never had a problem. It's not the school, just certain campuses, and this one is not a good one

It has been a great tragedy attending this school, I've only been here 3-4 quarters I already have over 15K loans. This is a school to STAY AWAY FROM THEY ARE ONLY ABOUT MONEY. The DEAN of acedemics does not give a damn about students, he is rude, and could careless about what your problems are as a student to fix it, all he does is sit in his office and do nothing because he to is about money. Make people retake classes they already have credits for at other credited schools. I regret coming here, I really do. If you want to save yourself from loans and owing money, stay away from this school.

Worst school ever. Financial aid department sucks. Professors DO NOT care. And the price per credit is ridiculous. You'll be in debt by the time you obtain your degree.

South University has the best nursing program and staff compared to other schools in the area. They really care about the success of the students in the nursing profession.
