Keiser University - Campus Reviews

"Keiser University is an amazing school. I enjoy the small class sizes, excellent professors, and one month class. They live up to their student first motto. I have recommended Keiser University to my friends and family and they are attending or have graduated from Keiser. I'm already looking into pursuing my Bachelor's degree since nothing compares to the value of this school."

"This school is only interested in collecting your money - you better be sure you want it because they will make you pay for classes you did not even take! They mix it up and don’t keep a well defined trail of your finances. Everyone I know in class was confused about their payments. Beware of what you are buying into!"

"They give you the runaround with financial aid. They are not honest with the costs and if you drop anything before you finished, you’re still charged! Beware! They just want your money! Their online schedule of payments don’t add up and they just tell you “to ignore it “. Until the end!"

"These people want to try to pretend be your friend so they to take your money. The quality of education is horrific and the incompetence of the teachers even more so. If you have to go to Kaiser just take the courses online because literally they're just reusing the online courses for in-person classes which makes no sense. However,, you really should just go to the community college because it's much cheaper and the quality of education is much better compared to this diploma mill."

"The Orlando campus is extremely unorganized, things such as class schedule or clinical site often get switched the night before. Administration does not do there job, they wait until the last possible minute to do anything and by then it is too late. I’ve had delays in receiving my financial aid money because the school did not file the proper paperwork for almost a month after it should have been done. Overall my entire experience so far has been extremely negative. The only thing this school has is a few amazing professors, but it’s not worth all the other bs you have to put up with."

"Horrible experience would not recommend nobody to attend this school. I found the classes so intense. I needed counseling after attending this program and have changed major after. I can honestly say no wonder are health care department are some of the most heartless people after witnessing firsthand how people are taught here."

"Where do I even begin, they make you take pre reqs to only deny you before even starting the program, super disorganized and ruthless. This is for the Miami campus, don’t even waste your time, money hungry and loose files along the way. You know how frustrating it is to call and they are completely clueless ? Make you take 4 pre reqs and pay out of pocket to be like sorry you are denied into the program."

"DO NOT GO TO KEISER UNIVERSITY!!!! They only care about you before they take your money, they are complete money grabbers. It costs an absolute fortune to attend the university, you’d expect the quality of teaching, the dorms, the food etc to be exceptional, but it’s everything but that. They give out FINES just to profit off you. For example, if you lock yourself out of your room, a simple mistake that anyone can make, they will charge you $10. If you step foot into a friends dorm, it’s an instant $25, and doubles with every occasion. If you drink alcohol in your own dorm, even if you are of legal age, you get a $125 fine. If you move furniture in your dorm, $50 fine. The list goes on. Not to mention, it is compulsory to buy a food package, but the food they serve at the flagship campus (west palm beach) is AWFUL. If you’re happy eating half cooked pasta and vegetables with watery sauce everyday with, this is the perfect campus for you. Not to mention, there has been several occasions I have found dead flies in my food. To add, the first day I arrived, I noticed that the dorm was completely infested with ants, even on my hard mattress that I had to sleep on, waking up with multiple bites all over my body. They advertise on their website that each dorm within stauffer have 2 individual study rooms, but again, upon arrival I noticed they had transformed them into private bedrooms, leaving us with no place to study within the ‘comfort’ of our own dorm. When asking for the desks to be placed into the living room, they told us that they can no longer provide us with these facilities. This is FALSE ADVERTISEMENT. We are paying for facilities that they refusing provide. The fact that the university will not even provide their students with a source of light or anything to cover the windows, really shows how cheap they are. In the dorms, they literally provide you with the bare minimum, you get a sofa and a small table in the front room, that is it. KEISER UNIVERSITY FLAGSHIP CAMPUS (west palm beach) completely drains you until you’ve got nothing left to give. I could not tell you one day I have felt stress free. I wish I never came to this university, not only have I spent my life savings coming here, but it has also wasted valuable time. If you choose to ignore the reviews and give keiser a chance, you will soon realise everything I am saying is completely true. Save your time and happiness, and find a university that care about you and your education"

"Attending this school is the worst decision I’ve made in my life. I would like to know what’s the official percentage of students that pass the program. In my pharmacology class I had 100s up until the final, THE ENTIRE CLASS failed the final. In my other class only 8 kids passed out of 24, and this is only the first semester. And no it’s not because the students don’t try and don’t study. I’ve studied 5-6 hours everyday, would meet with my study group a few times per week, stayed in the library more than I’ve been home during the semester. At the end you fail by 2 points and sorry got to retake the semester. No extra credit, no curves, when the entire class fails you’d expect for a grade curve. Seriously this expedited program is garbage, better go attend a regular college, do your 4 years in peace and don’t try this Keizer Casino, casino because the passing odds are not in your favor"

"As an international student, I would say: go there, they will help you with the documentation needed. I had amazing teachers, counselors and structure. It was a very good experience, I'm coming back soon! I will be forever grateful for how this university helped me."

"Keiser university in Tallahassee, Florida was a big step for me into becoming who I am today. The program director and program instructors are truly angel sent for keiser university in this area. They not only preach from day one that the class is family to them but also go about making that believable. They do everything in their willpower to enable their students for success. At times they put in more effort then I did for my own education and for that I thank them. Keiser university radiologic technology program in Tallahassee, Florida is an outstanding program because of the amazing staff that's supporting the it."

"Not only did Keiser University help me with the hands on training that I needed to walk right from my graduation into the job I wanted, I knew that everyone from the Admissions team to the Professors actually cared about my success. I will forever be grateful to the faculty and staff that helped me achieve my goals."

"I do NOT recommend this school. I was supposed to graduate from the DMS program May 1st, but was delayed due to the Coronavirus. Our class was pulled out of the clinical environment twice now and they have not made a decision to graduate us. Other schools in Florida have waived the hours requirement and everyone has graduated on time except Keiser. I have completed all of my boards, and have a job lined up but can’t start because I’m waiting on the deans to make a decision. I am only shy 32.5 hours which I could’ve completed this week if they hadn’t pulled us out to make room for the class behind us. At this point I am not making an income and I have to plan to move 1700 miles away. This is affecting my livelihood and I can’t even make any plans. We are sitting in a holding pattern and they do not care. This is something they should have been able to decide months ago instead of keeping us in the dark."

"My husband works for Keiser University's Fort Lauderdale campus. We are on the verge of a national lock-down during the Coronavirus pandemic. Although FIU, Miami Dade, UM and Broward College have asked employees to work from home, my husband received a group text on Sunday from his boss that they are expected to come to work and that if they stay home, it will go towards their PTO. He works in an open office environment. He can easily work from home. We have our 85 year old mother who has diabetes, heart disease can COPD. Keiser University's behavior in this crisis is DISGUSTING - putting profit ahead of people."

"I'll be honest, before coming to Keiser I read multiples reviews. I noticed there was a lot more bad than good. After one semester I now understand why. Keiser University will do what they can in order to keep you here as long a possible, and take your money. They messed up my class schedule "by accident" because a lot of people here don't know how to do their job properly. This being said my graduation year got pushed back, and I also have to pay out of pocket for classes I should have already been enrolled in. I decided to give this school a chance, but now I am lost due to the financial part of all these classes I now have to pay for out of pocket. I'm really thinking about finishing my degree somewhere else, or dropping out. I guess you can say it was worth my time and money..."

"I am currently in the BSN fast track program at the Fort Lauderdale campus. I have no complaints so far. My teachers are great and very passionate. I’m reading the negative reviews other people wrote and I can’t say I have the same negative things to say. Everyone is going to have their own experience. This school is still accredited and the lab professors are even very knowledgeable as nurse practitioners. I come from broward college’s nursing program and this is by far way more organized with more resources. Yes it is expensive but your paying for tutoring and help available that isn’t always offered at a public school."

"A joke does not suffice how horrible and HORRENDOUS this school is. From The staff to the financial aid department people working here are imbeciles. They hire high pitched people for the advisement (recruiters ) who sound like they've been drinking coffee or on cocaine providing false hope and 30,000 forms to sign in one day giving you no space to think and breath. Then they take you to the financial aid office where they have a horrible attitude or just look so depress, no experience in the field, all they know is "please sign here and here" without any explanation on what your signing. And if your like me you READ EVERYTHING IN THAT OFFICE BEFORE SIGNING! But but the man who was assigned to me kept rushing me.. I should of seen the sign then... That's not even the worst part.. The main teacher for OTA "Coach" doesn't even have a freaking teaching degree!!! She was in the field for a few yrs and came back to the school I guess looking for the job and I guess they just hired her ..so she just reads from the book and talk about her experience in the field. you would think you would get the highest education from a private school that is charging you $40,000-$60,000 for a 1yr and half program . YEA RIGHT, Furniture in the class room looks like its from my grandmothers 1989 wedding but yet all the admin and adviser office is up to date and remolded but our classroom tables are so small and narrow my books fall off at times. Last but not least I failed Kinesiology by one point! (%69) and could not go to the next course, that was in 2018 and I waited a yr to go back (2020)due to some family issues now these people who already charged me $10,000 FOR 3 STUPID MONTHS (Not including books or uniform) are telling me I need to start from intro.. I think freaking NOT never missed a day of class, still worked FULL TIME at a fertility clinic, turned in all my assignments on time, paying additionally $600 school fee on top of the $10,000 student loan that was used for 3 months and your telling me I need to start from scratch! what a SHAME! last but not least THEY HAVE FAVORITES and they show it with no shame. I want this school to be brought to LIGHT! do not go here PLEASE!"

"This is an insanely overpriced school with a funny amount of instruction hours on campus. 1 month for 1 subject, you have to move fast and your ability to comprehend the material doesn’t matter to instructors. Supposedly they provide tutoring, but tutoring is not much different from a regular instruction time when you just sit in front of a computer and try to figure it out on your own. Some instructors are totally out there and live in their fantasy land where everyone is supposed to be a scholar and researcher, in particular Doctor Porter. This lady’ s assignments are insane to say the least. Not only the topic of the so called research paper is bizarre, but you are limited to your resources- KEISER’s library. When I honestly tried to do my best and realized that the assignment was designed by a lunatic, that was the time to leave this school. I don’t understand why they convince you to enroll first and tell you how welcome you are to become a part of Keiser, then strongly encourage you to leave. Thank God not every school is like that. I am sure some folks are nice there but overall it’s a very unfriendly, impersonal and uncaring environment."

"This school is a joke. I came here to keiser flagship to obtain a degree and advance myself in my career. This did not happen... My highschool was harder than keiser. At least things in high school were fair. At keiser, if you are an athlete, teachers will falisfy your tests/homework to boost your grade. This is because so many of the athlete are terrible, terrible students. Please know that this is a pay to receive grade school. You won't be educated here."

"The Tallahassee Campus is great! Every teacher is very helpful and financial aid does their jobs very well. This review is mainly about the main campus and stipend request!! I'm a GI Bill student and decided to take out student loans to help with finances. The main campus denies me multiple times and then decides to take money from my account and give me hardly any money. So if you are a Vet like me, don't be surprised if they take money from you as well!! I'm getting ready to transfer!"
