National University

I’m not sure why there’s bad reviews. I’ve actually had a great experience here with my sport psych major. Many pros!
At the time of getting in to NU, my former advisor Cynthia was amazing! Very on it! But this year she left for another job!
My new advisor I haven’t used much because she just seems really «green», so I use another advisor here for my issues instead.
The only problem I have with NU is the study tours– specifically in business. I won’t go into detail, but let’s just say if you have food sensitivities, allergies, or health issues– do not go on a group study tour with the business professor. I forget his name but he’s not the nicest guy, nor understanding,
I went as a non credit student and ended up coming home a couple days early because I got so sick from the food in Europe because there was gluten in it.
The entire staff and tour guide knew of my food issues and what I needed to avoid, but they still were not very careful!
Only go on these trips if you can eat whatever you want and plan to walk miles a day!
Other than the study tour, my nu experience has been positive and I’m currently in my capstone for sports Med psych!

Only 1 star because 0 isn’t an option. I didn’t think I could say anything more about the horrible experience that I had with this school, but things were finally resolved. (If you consider 5 months of bills being piled up, late fees because they are still processing my financial aide, and missing an entire month of school because my previous advisor, Michelle, completely ruined my schedule and offered no resolution, resolved). Well following my one month hiatus from classes that was completely the fault of said advisor, I finally get to start classes again Tuesday. Oh wait! No I don’t. Due to unobtained high school transcripts. This will be the second time I’ve paid to send those ones. Not to mention the 3 times I had to do so from my previous college, and countless phone calls to financial aide. (All of this is because they keep losing paperwork). This school offers no resolutions or information other than «we are still waiting» and the dean, Abena, will not return my phone calls any longer. I am livid that my entry to the nursing program is getting pushed my even farther again for something that is, again, completely out of my control. I highly recommend that you go to ANY other school (aside from Kaplan) if you want an education. Hands down the worst experience I have ever had with a school.

The counselor I had was horrible! He told me that I would get into the nursing program before I even began the 5 prerequisite courses that I needed to apply. I spent $ 6,000 taking these courses and didn’t get into the nursing program. My TEAS exam score was higher than the minimum required score and I had good grades. After I took the TEAS, my counselor was no longer a counselor and I had a difficult time getting in touch with his replacement! She proceeded to tell me that counselors were not allowed to tell students they would get into programs, and that I was wrong in thinking that he told me that.
National University is a waste of money! Don’t let them suck you in!
