STU is expensive but totally worth it! The professors give great feedback. The campus is huge and has a lot of great opportunities.

Great school, the teachers are great and really want you to learn the material, they make you really learn things rather than just remembering for a test.

I am a law student at STU, and I couldn't be happier. The best part of the school is the professors. I went to a fancy high school and a fancy university for undergrad, yet many of the best teachers I've ever had have been at STU. With time and funding, the food and architecture will get better. Totally underrated law school.

if you are looking into a BSN program this school is not the one. they honestly do not care about the students. Joseph the director of the program is very nonchalant and doesn't care about any of your concerns.

this school has a horrible nursing program! only about 3-5 students graduate in every cohort which is pretty sad. students drop like flies within their first semester. there is lack of help and resources, and the professors are trash. when you try to speak to Joseph (the director of the nursing program), she basically blames everything on us.
Overall 1.1
do not go here this school offers no opportunities unless you are a "athlete" the sports are extreme jokes as well as the education it has to offer. Not much social life very strict residence life plus extreme rip off and very expensive.
Overall 1.3
Not worth it.

Overall 1.7
When I first came to this school, it was so confusing no one helps u out or doesn’t answer any emails. The food is horrible, I was placed into a dorm filled with mold. They took their sweet time trying to find me a place to relocate, till I told them I was suing, got extremely sick. Pool parties with guns. Horrible wifi everywhere on campus.

Please stay away from the PMHNP program. Professors do not grade/give feedback within the syllabus guideline of 2-3 days. Assignments take weeks to be graded. No live zoom lectures/Q& A. Powerpoints are based on old editions of texts rather than the assigned one. There is no teaching, no help. You are completely ON YOUR OWN.
Overall 1.9
The PMHNP program is awful and disorganized. The professor decided to switch mandatory text book in the middle of the semester without good reason. No help is offered when asked. The assignments are assigned without associated context. No lecture, just PowerPoints and links to YouTube videos. No one is actually teaching the class.
