Southeastern College - Charleston

I love Mr. Foote, he’s the best! If you’re interested in Massage Therapy then this is the school for you. I learned so much and I can’t wait to apply all my knowledge in the work field.

I really enjoyed the staff and the faculty at the campus. The night classes came in handy if you work full time during the day or if you have small kids to take care of. Also, with so many online classes it is much easier to handle the work/life balance and responsibilities. I like how clear everything is to understand, how the faculty are subject matter experts and work with people who need extra attention and extra patience as life can be challenging when juggling so much. The people in financial aid and the Dean are really good about answering questions and providing guidance and support. The class structures being one at a time in the semester and the small amount of people in the class help make it easier to have a relationship with the faculty. Don’t get me wrong, if you don’t study and you don’t focus, you will not succeed. But if what you want to do is get right to the point, work hard and get a job, this is the place to go. I know other people who have studied in different places and I honestly feel like when we talk about what classes I had to take and what material I had to study, I really feel like I got a lot more out of the experience than they did with theirs. No regrets.

A couple reasons why this is the worst academic experience you will ever have.nFirst, the financial aid department, as well as the bursar are extremely incompetent at their jobs. The only two options for financial aid (according to the councilor I saw) if you are not a veteran or married to a veteran is a high interest loan that will start at 12% if you already have decent credit and will go up drastically if you do not. OR a parent plus loan that will somehow grant the school right to overturn FERPA (The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974, meaning YOU have to disclose what information can be shared with parents/spouses/etc) and tell your parents information that is should be protected by this Law.nnNext. If you want to focus on your education this is not the place for you, ranging from once to three times a month, you will get pulled out of class to take surveys and make fake reviews boosting the ratings on google, and you will get bribed with candy. Staff members will go out of their way to talk to you for no reason at all, very disruptive if you are trying to actually study or do work. Depending on the program you pick your instruction may or may not be of help to you at your time here. Ms Dionesia Craven, spent more time during class hours yelling about the Medical Assisting students and calling them not so professional names (ghetto, ratchets), and would even insult students that had children. The times when she would not yell, she would only read notes off of a PowerPoint, and give attitude or make snarky remarks if you asked for clarification or help with work. If you do get the pleasure of being in her class, you will be better off if you are able to teach yourself outside of class. She is also very insensitive to life events, I can recall many times where I spoke with her before class about needing to leave early or needing to keep my cellphone due to medical problems, and it would turn into her raising her voice and trying to make an example out of me for situations I already spoke to her about.nnI do not recommend this school, you should save yourself the 23k and find a different school that teaches your desired program.

Southeastern Institute is a great place to learn and advance your career! They have a range of different career and Associate Degree programs within in demand fields. The staff is great to work with and always helpful and will work with you every step of the way to ensure your successful.

It continues to be such a pleasure to work with this campus. The staff responds timely and politely to my requests. I am particularly impressed and appreciate the tangibility of Campus President, Timothy Van Horn. With these administrative and staff characteristics, student successful learning experiences and outcomes are anticipated!
