Nova Southeastern University

As someone who only sees this campus as a spectator I can say that I like what I see. It is a thriving campus that seems to grow every year. New buildings, new sports fields, new dormitories and much more. My sons play lacrosse one on of their many beautiful turf fields.

Beautiful campus. Serious learning. Great educators. I would recommend anyone to come over to Nova and see how nice the campus is. One of the most beautiful I’ve been on. Enjoy!

This school continues to disappoint, the MS in HRM program recently changed their course load requirements (without much notice) in order to qualify for financial aid which resulted in a full-​blown nightmare. Instead of being able to take one course and be considered part-​time, now you’re required to take two, which means more money that you have to borrow per semester (and less you get back). I want to reiterate that this school will cost you a fortune if you do not have massive amounts of dough, grants, scholarships, or tuition reimbursement.

It’s quite peaceful here. I usually go here to past the time and study. The landscaping is beautiful and everyone seems relatively friendly. There is a subway and a café there. And the library is beautiful.

THE MASCOT SHOULD BE CHANGED FROM THE SHARKS TO THE BABIES?
THIS IS ABOUT THE GYM
PROS nice new equipment, pretty good hours, plenty of amenities, young people everywhere
CONS
The price, the parking,
The faculty other than a few cooler students are all scared babies that think they can tell you how to work out or what you shouldn’t be doing even if you know what you are doing becuase they are scared of people getting hurt.
Ok, I’m a gym buff I have been to plenty of gyms and worked in them As well .
First of all the gym is nice I will say that. HOWEVER I must also say that the mascot of nova should bea Silver poon fed baby not a shark. I say this becuase everyone in that school seems like they either all are scared little babies or silver spoon fed types. Even the manager of the gym is too afraid to let you use the equipment in any other way than conventionally. Try to hang upside down to do crunches and you will be asked to stop or they will kick you out. They have gotten new equipment which is good becuase the membership fees are way higher than that of you fit or la fit or 24 hour fit. But they do not have a good decline bench and when I stack the bench they do have on a wooden box I was approached by some scrawny little baby girl who told me she had to tell other ppl to stop. Becuase it ruins the box. REALLYREALLY.. .? The wooden box? I explained to her that there was no logic behind what she was saying and that I’d like to know why she thinks that the already old scratched up wooden box was so fragile? It’s sturdy it’s wooden, so why? She then tried to back pedal and say it was unsafe becuase the bench would probably slip… It makes me mad when ppl just say things with no merit behind them. They seem to go through a lot of recplex managers every few months. And the office staff that produces your billing only really wants your money if you ask for any refund for any reason they pull the were private card, or sorry that person is not here the moment line…
The school is full of nova babies which I am surprised to say can somehow work even though they probably have a busy of day of pooping their diapers and sucking on their pacifiers, between their momma’s and daddy’s giving them curfews and buying them cars lol
But it’s close to my house so if you like rules then thumbs up I guess lol

So grateful to be a NSU student. Love this school, the atmosphere, the staff, faculty. don’t have a bad thing to say. In the 5 year process I’ve been trying to get here yes, it’s been a long drawn out ordeal, but again, not a bad experience along the way!
I am a business student surrounded by very knowledgeable, successful, yet sweet professors! It’s only been my first semester and I have learned so much that I now implement in my budding career now.
Go Sharks!!!

Somehow I made through 16 – 17 years of public school and then came to grad school where the tuition is the most expensive-​and ended up at a private school. Nova is a beautiful campus. It has lovely amenities. There are wonderful teachers. But you will pay dearly for all of it.
Coming as an out of state student for a doctoral program, I knew tuition wasn’t going to be cheap. But compared to being a scholarship student at a public state school my jaw dropped when I got my yearly financial aid statement at the beginning of first year. It comes with the territory I guess, but I would love to be able to utilize more of the campus resources (aside from the library). Being in a program that is such a time suck makes it a little tougher to enjoy the gym, campus center, etc.
I really do enjoy being a student here but some of the HPD policies are a little insane considering every student is an adult. I understand the uniform policy (scrubs, big deal-they’re comfortable), but some instructors mandate you come to class or dock your grade. As an adult this is irritating because we don’t all learn the same way-​and again-I’m paying you a ton. I should be able to skip if I want and read notes for my 8am at 7pm when I’m more focused.
I do enjoy being a student here-​but we pay dearly for it.

I attended NSU in 2010 for the masters program in Mental Health. It’s a beautiful campus in a great location. The Davie area has plenty of apartments near-​by that students can rent from if they decide not to board at Nova. They are also accessible restaurants, stores, and the Broward mall.
Nova provides up-​to-​date and interactive classroom settings both on & off campus. The student to teacher ratio is high in this university so expect a good amount of students in your classes. The majority of the professors are excellent but the administration is not something I can praise. Asking a question felt like you were such a bother to the staff. To me, Nova resembles a lot like a hospital setting, cold and lifeless on the inside and nothing other than the great education you’ll be receiving will somewhat make-​up for it.
This is not a party school but I value feeling like I belong to a school. Maybe it was different for me because the evening program I was in was geared to working students, so pretty much the students came to school and did what they had to do and left. There was just no sense of community among your classmates. Oh well, I guess you can’t have it all.

beautiful campus… very very very well maintained and always being updated!
this school is already up and coming but is really pushing ahead into an entire new category of schools. they are going to build a bio/​med research center with an attached hospital for teaching.(the hospital is getting pushback from other hospitals) but it will show up maybe slightly delayed. so between a research center and teaching hospital NOVA is going to be playing with the big boys really soon.

My alma mater for law school. The school is really building and growing these days. A lot of new or recently renovated buildings. Pretty good though.

beautiful campus but its not much of a traditional «university»
The campus is next to a high/​middle school and the kids (literally children) often wander on to the college «campus»
The majority of the students are evening students and north of 30 and like Vane B. said… its very expensive…

Nova? What’s Nova? Well, after one visit I’m not asking myself silly, admittedly embarrassing questions like that any more. Being the product of several large, rather smug, heavily endowed universities of the northeast, I’ve had a tendency to overlook or to simply ignore institutions of the southeast. I shouldn’t have done that and I’m embarrassed by the fact that I did do that as one good tour of Nova Southeastern proved to be a revealing eye opener to me.
First off, it has a drop dead gorgeous campus, well planned, well thought out, but beyond that Nova clearly has a dedicated faculty and staff all possessed of top credentials. I was particularly impressed with every department of learning seemingly having an open door policy, helpful to any student with the instructor or professor actually being available to any student with just about any individual learning need. The schools I attended had none of that, with each student being expected to fend for themselves and the opportunity of actually obtaining a one on one appointment with a professor, a totally unheard of event.

Beautiful Campus :)

It is a nice campus but sooo expensive. And the internet sucksduring the day. I am a law student here!

Very nice campus with all of the amenities you’d expect from a quality institution.
