Pros

My experience here at Everglades University is one not to be forgotten. I’m currently going for my Bachelors in Alternative Medicine, the science track. I was tired of just thinking conventional medicine was the only form of healing so I did my research and fell in love with natural medicine. Many people don’t know or understand that pills and surgery are not the only way to treat the body. With herbs, rehab (mental/physical), mind/body/spirit healing, and other natural healing modalities, there is a better chance of longevity and quality of life. It’s not one way or the other, both forms of healing (conventional and alternative) should be used for optimal health. I’m looking forward to graduation because that’s when life really starts. With this degree, I want to better myself and heal the lives of others by changing their circumstances in a more positive way. My goal is to become a Homeopathic Doctor, Doctor of Oriental Medicine (DOM), or open up my own line of natural products. Everglades University provides a great learning environment. I love how the classes aren’t too big, it allows for more individualized attention to their students. Since the classes are smaller here, the teacher has more time to focus on each student which has really helped my grades and GPA go up. The teachers and staff are always available to go the extra mile to help students in every way they can. I used to be terrified of public speaking and presenting in front of a group (even a group of 5 people) and I became stronger due to the support from all my fellow colleagues. Just by overcoming that obstacle, I developed self-confidence and made new friends. This university has taught me leadership skills that I can carry on with me throughout the rest of my life. This degree opens up many doors and opportunities, if it’s something you’re really passionate about.

Cons

Every workplace has some flaws but at Everglades University there isn't much to say. The only thing I would say is that I wish tuition wasn't so costly. Other than that there is much to say about working here. I really like the staff and students.

Pros

There really aren't any pros that outweigh any of the cons, so I won't bother with telling you about them.

Cons

Managed by truly horrible people with greed in their eyes and hatred in their souls. Nothing is more important to these people than getting as much money as they possibly can from poor, underqualified students. They have no qualms about loading a student up with massive debt and pushing them through a relatively useless degree program that will leave them saddled with debt for a lifetime. Entrance requirements for students are at an absolute minimum. The tuition is extremely high and additional fees and expenses are beyond absurd for such a low-caliber school. Academic administrators who should be focused on teaching and current student needs are forced to spend vast amounts of time tracking delinquent- and even dropped-out, deeply in-debt, below-acceptable-GPA students- trying to get them to come back. Admissions is a call center with extremely aggressive tactics and its representatives are given unrealistic "goals" that are really quotas that must be met, but cannot be met. Most, if not all positive reviews are totally fake. Don't even apply there, OK? Don't believe me? Go for it. Give it a try and find out first-hand. Don't say you were not warned.
