A home away from home. Provost Michael is the best and we continue to expand.
Overall 4.2
The campus is very safe/clean despite the location as the security guards do a fantastic job patrolling the campus. The professors and school staff care about the students and want everyone to succeed. Financial aid office is the worst part of the school- they take forever to give you your refunds and take a week or longer to respond to emails.

Save your money !!!
The BSN program is horrible, self-taught. Hesi should be an exit exam at the end of the program. It weights 20% of your grade for each class. The teachers are so unorganized, they do not teach you, you just get the Elsevier application. The staff do not care about the students. They just want your money.
Overall 1.1
BSN/MSN programs here are not what they seem. Trust my experience—don't enroll. The education is lacking, leaving you to teach yourself with no real opportunities. It may be affordable, but the quality is poor. Choose a school with a strong reputation, one you'll be proud to represent. This nursing college is a disgrace.
Overall 1.2
The BSN and ELM program may seem affordable at first glance, but beneath the surface lies a profound disappointment. The faculty's lack of concern for their students is evident, leaving learners feeling neglected and unsupported. Go elsewhere and don't let your aspirations as a nursing student be stifled by the shortcomings of this program.
Overall 1.4
The campus is small, not much to see. I wish I hadn't applied here. As a nursing student I would say don't apply to this program. SAVE YOUR MONEY! Not worth the headache. The Nursing program is basically self taught. Professors are hardly there to see the success of the students. Professors are unprofessional and basically act like they are in HS.

This is definitely a self taught program. It’s horrible. I really think it should be an exit hesi exam instead of each class it’s very overwhelming. Unorganized, teachers do not teach nor help the students. They think you should know all the information already. This program for bsn is horrible. Save your money
