South University, Richmond

Great school that offers OTA program in the immediate area. They offer online and in class service; library, tutor, secure building in a nice trendy neighborhood. But, most importantly great staff from admission to instructors and all the supporting staff members are all helpful.

South University has an excellent academic program great faculty and staff. When I see negative post's it reflects difficulties students face at other schools. As a student I have seen SU work to resolve student issues. One reason I choose South University.

Was only there for an interview, but the institution is fantastic, staff was helpful and super kind, and in an awesome place with lots of good food close by.

Looking for another degree or to switch careers and thinking of South University, well wipe the from your memory.nnThe education you will receive here is subpar. Why do I say this? The professors race through teaching the curriculum so that you can complete the degree on 18-20 months. When this happens, students are not learning information to retain. Students are memorizing information. Better yet, many of the students cheat to pass so that they won't get put out of their programs. When students report those cheating, it goes in one ear of the staff and out the other ear. How is it fair to those students who are actually studying and not cheating to earn lower grades than those cheaters? When students are going to the professors telling them the students are cheating, why is this constantly being overlooked? Why isn't the President or Dean doing something about it?nnIf your average is 69.9999, the professor rounds it down to a 69 and not round up to a 70. Honestly, these are some of the most no mathematical people I've ever seen. You learn how to round numbers in elementary school but a college professor round simple numbers.nnIf you decide to go to the nursing program and decide not to heed my warning, then stay away from LINDA PECK'S class. She teaches one thing in class and tests on something totally different. You're better off teaching yourself rather than going to her class. She lows students to cheat in her class and even sees it for herself and does nothing. While the class portal shows how to calculate grades, Linda has her own way of calculating grades. If you're not Caucasian, then she will discriminate against you in any and every way that she can think of. The Dean and other higher officials let her do whatever she wants. A good professor or educator for that matter wants to see students succeed. Linda likes to see how many people she can fail. What Linda needs to remember is that she wouldn't want what she's doing to students to be done to her.nnWhile the university has recently filed bankruptcy, they failed to tell the current students. Many students found out by it appearing in news publications on the web. The great professors have been let go and staff like Linda remain to wreak havoc on her current and future students.nnI don't want any medical professional to work on me that has cheated their way through school. Hence, the very reason you should consult beforehand. Don't forget to check those medical licenses.nnIf you're a minority, you want to skip South University as they allow current students to post racial slurs etc in social media. When it is brought to the attention of the school no one says anything.nnThere is limited parking. Many students park at Whole Foods. Therefore, actual Whole Foods customers don't have anywhere to park.nnIf you're a current student, keep complaining about the wrongdoings of the university. Better yet, take it to the head of South University in Georgia.nnIf I could rate this so called university with negative stars, I would.nnRushing through a degree and not learning anything is NOT a quality education. It's just all about quantity and how many students can get robbed paying these exorbitant fees and get further in debt while doing so.nnIf you don't know, now you know. Are you learning yet?

I am currently a PTA student and absolutely love it here. After going to MCI for nursing a few years ago and having such a bad experience (they weren't even accredited and teachers didn't seem to care about your well being and success), South has been such a breath of fresh air. They are accredited by CAPTE, every professor has received their Doctorate, and they truly and whole heartedly care about your success and well being. They strive to help you in any way, and they are so fun, outgoing, and interactive. Dr. Chamberlain and Dr. Bailey are AWESOME! I am in love with this school and program and I highly recommend it to anyone!
