Everglades University - Campus Reviews

"I found Everglades University because my co-worker heard that this school takes students who have their A&P. EU gives transfer credit for FAA Airframe & Powerplant Certification. I found the workload and the class schedule is manageable for people who work and go to school. My faculty member Mr. Henry is very personable. He explains the material very well. I am enjoying my class. The Tampa campus has a very tight-knit community. You feel like everything is more one-on-one, so you are actually able to gather more information and learn more."

"Upon attending Everglades, I knew I wanted to get a construction degree but was not sure of my next step. My only real experience in construction was doing side jobs with my cousin, and this made me appreciate the industry and the craft. With the help of the faculty, the dean, and VP, I was able to earn my Master's degree MBA with a concentration in construction management. Professor Bankole, Dr. Argen, and Dr. Fronrath made my learning experience worthwhile. I walked into Everglades excited (because I did it and it was new), and doubtful (because I had no clue what I was doing), but these professionals helped me to use my abilities and skills to complete my program. When I came to Everglades I was told by staff members to reach out to Dr. Abby, and that was the best thing I did.. What a blessing I am so grateful to have come in contact with her. Dr. Abby spent the time and the effort to guide me, help me, give me critical criticism to know my worth when it came to my profession. I wish they had more professionals like her. I volunteered and loved it because of Dr. Abby. I would recommend Everglades (Tampa) to anyone. The Tampa campus gave me a family of brothers in construction that I can call on anytime. I had no real experience in construction but with assistance I was able to get a Construction Manager job with Lennar Homes. I am happy I found Everglades University. This place changed my life."

"I chose Everglades university because it was very convenient and flexible for me. I have 3 more months until graduation and my experience so far at Everglades has been great. Classes are well structured and Professors are very knowledgeable in their field. One of the things I like the most is how they give you real life scenarios that sometimes the books don't talk about. Since I work in my field of study, I've been able to put into practice a lot of the content from class and for me that's very helpful."

"I am very satisfied with the Masters in Construction Management program at Everglades University. The professors are very experienced and bring their expertise to class through real world situations. We have the opportunity to share our experiences as well, which makes the classes to flow in a very participative way, and the staff is always very friendly and available to address our concerns. The way the program is designed favors the learning process, once the students are constantly challenged to study and discuss the most recent practices in the field. Finally, our classmates are people from the field, who share their knowledge and contributes a lot for the success of the learning process."

"The construction management program at Everglades University is taught by professors experienced in the field. They provided terrific examples of real world situations related to the subject matter. The shared experiences from both fellow classmates and professors made classes a great learning platform."

"When I first came to Everglades University, I was getting out of the military, and I wanted a career in the construction industry. One instructor who holds a special place in my education is Mr. Bankole who always provided me with knowledge and realistic scenarios in the construction field. One Everglades staff member who helped me succeed was Dr. Abby who assisted me in finding a job. Everglades changed my life by providing me with the tools to pursue a high degree. I have started my career in the construction field with the assistance of staff and student connections."

"Everglades University is an excellent choice to continue your education studies. The staff is Professional, friendly and helpful. The Professors are an excellent addition to the school and they take pride in their work and the students.The Dean make sure that the students have all the materials needed to aid them in their studies. The Dean Dr. Charles Stuard works extremely hard to keep his University going in the right direction. I am proud and privileged to have been a part of a wonderful Institution."

"Orlando (Maitland) Campus - Everyone on campus from the Dean, Professors, Staff, and Security were positive and created a friendly safe environment. Class sizes were small and intimate to where learning was at the individual level. The professors are all professionals in their field and offer great knowledge and experience. Whereas in most universities, if your program does not have many students, they will hold off till they have met a minimum. At Everglades University, during my degree specific work, class size was just the professor and myself. This personal experience was incredible and made me feel not like a student with a number but as individual that has worth. Would highly recommend and have recommended to others."

"When I first came to Everglades University, I had just retired from the Air Force and moved back to Tampa, looking for an educational program to compliment my experience. All of my instructors at Everglades helped me gain a broader perspective of opportunities in civilian aviation. Dr Chris Bellamy and Mr Terry Henry were especially knowledgeable in the aviation industry. All of the staff were excellent during my time at the Tampa campus. I have a great sense of accomplishment from completing my studies at Everglades."

"I decided to enroll in the Construction Management program because I have been in construction my whole life. I am a fourth-generation construction worker. I know every trick in the trade. The subjects that interested me most in the program are LEED, leadership, and sustainability. I knew that I had to come to school because I learned you can’t get jobs without a degree. I picked Everglades University because it is fast-paced with only one class per month. One thing that I like about the Tampa campus is the people. I am a people person, and when I come to the front, I get to see Melissa, Kerstin, and Liza. I never have to stand in line at this school."

"I had such a great experience with my Bachelors I decided to pursue my Masters with Everglades University! I would recommend them to anyone. I especially love the great staff and how helpful they are. I can’t wait to be a MBA graduate of Everglades University."

"When I first came to Everglades University, I wanted to get an education to get a better paying job. Dr. Bellamy and Dr. Walters are the faculty members who have made this journey interesting, and I learned so much from them. Dr. Walters helped me become confident in speaking in public. Everglades has changed my life because I got a management position at work due to getting my degree. I am the Office Manager at Adrian Fernandez Insurance."

"When I first came to Everglades University, I had completed 12 years of service in the US Navy and I was looking for a local college with an aviation major. I came across EU through Google and my local Naval recruiter's office. I went on campus in Tampa, was impressed, and signed up for classes right away. Now I'm graduating with a degree that I am proud to have earned from such a great school. Mr. Henry and Dr. Bellamy were the two instructors that have a special place in my heart. Mr. Henry was always warm and inviting during his lectures and his amazing enthusiasm for the field and his experience were really present in everything he taught. I hope to have the same enthusiasm and push as he did. Dr. Bellamy really made class interesting and interactive through the many group discussions and his leadership moments before each lecture. Dr. Bellamy also showed his enthusiasm for aviation, and I liked the fact that he is prior military like me. His lectures are such a treasure to me and my future! Dr. Abby Hamilton and Dean Carlson were the two staff members who helped me succeed or overcome obstacles. Besides Dr. Abby Hamilton being a close family friend, she was the one I turned to whenever I felt anxious about jobs or life itself. She is such a beacon of light through the treacherous waters of college for me! Dean Carlson was such a great leader to me since she was able to help me navigate through the many classes I have to take, and she was able to direct or guide me whenever I had questions about my GI Bill. She was one of the best student and academic advisors I ever had! EU has helped me through life and change it for the better. After the Navy, I had many questions and things I wanted to accomplish. EU had the type of degree that I was looking for and helped me accomplish my dreams of having a job in the aviation field. It also help me a role model for my children in the fact that College is essential to accomplishing your dreams!"

"After receiving a degree in Holistic Nutrition, I wanted to learn more about alternative medicine. After researching, I found that not many schools offered it. I found EU, and I was able to transfer credits from my previous education. There were many instructors who have helped to change my life, but I would say most all of them. Dr Appiah and Dr. Vakiaros come to mind first because they have been my instructors in this degree. To help me succeed and overcome obstacles, Dr. Abby has been a huge encouragement and has assisted me very much. Everglades University has also help me overcome my fear of public speaking, which is huge! I am currently working in my field at Seminole Integrative Medicine. It is great for me to be able to work in a field I am passionate about."

"My entire experience at Everglades University has been a positive, uplifting, self starting environment. I’m thankful for my time here and the great people I’ve come to know. Everyone from the Dean to the reception truly care about every student’s progress and hope that we absorb the knowledge we need to not only succeed but thrive in changing times."

"Attending Everglades University was a great experience for me. I had attended at least 2 universities before coming to EU and I found that this university was a great fit for me. I enjoyed my interactions with the faculty and staff and the conversations with other students in classes. The registrar was amazing and always very helpful. I would definitely recommend EU to anyone pursuing a higher level degree."

"Now that I have graduated, I am happy to share that I have a position at the Florida Department of Environmental Protection, and in my position, I deal with permitting industrial waste water. The department was looking for someone who was environmental-minded, and my major showed that I had the right mindset. I am thankful for the connection I obtained from my instructor Ms. Sara Gonzalez, who worked at the D.E.P. I know there are many other openings, and I would be happy to refer other EU students. I am happy to have my diploma for my Bachelor of Science in Marine Resources and Management."

"Everybody from the staff to the students came together, and we created our own little family. It has been nice to really get to know everyone. It made me feel comfortable, I felt like “This is where I should be in my life.” Life made sense here. I was happiest when the I came to classes in person, with everyone interacting with each other and expanding our knowledge by sharing our ideas. I am thankful for my EU experience. I received more than just my bachelor’s degree. I also found my own personal development and growth."

"I really liked my experience here at EU. I first came here when I was 18 years old because when Hurricane Maria shut down my college in Puerto Rico, my mother wanted me to get my education. She sent me here to live with my grandparents and enroll at Everglades University. I am typically a very social person, but I was quiet here because my English wasn’t good. I will never forget when my psychology teacher taught me the 5-second rule, which helped me stop hesitating before I spoke. That was the start of my confidence, and I have grown up a lot here at Everglades University. I am so glad to know all the people who helped me here at EU – the faculty, the staff, and the students who became my friends. Graduating with my degree means a lot to me."
