I’ve been to other schools and I am sincerely proud to finish my degree at an institution that values their Veteran population.
Great college. they are definitely stepping their game up. There's a bar on campus now.cits right on the river. new marine science facility on the st Johns River. graduate of 2013
Now I understand my situation is rare, but even when I was in NY transitioning to overseas I had issues with communication and getting someone on the phone. I don't like that they have the school running some things and then another company running others, it requires me to have to talk to too many people in order to get things handled.
I'm a music student here and the faculty is very involved in your success and help you every step of the way. I enjoy being in shows and there are many performance opportunities for students. They do alot of campus wide events for such a small school and even the President of the university streets sporting events and music concerts.
The issue I have is that this they have a separate company that runs the actually classes, which I guess is fine, but trying to get one person on the phone to fix something, you are having to call different numbers because you may not be sure which department or which business runs that section.
I am an military spouse who is overseas, and my only means of communication is email. The financial aid department does not get back to you in a timely fashion. I have been told by my representative several times that I would get kicked out of my classes if I don't pay the balance, but no one would answer on the financial aid side to tell me if I have financial aid and loans to pay for it. When I would look on my profile, it never told me if I had aid even available for the semester. Then when I would email them, it would take 3-4 days of them getting back to me, and with the time difference, sometimes communication for one small thing would turn into a 2 week process.
The classes are great, but the set up for the school is not.
This school is one of the best veteran friendly schools in the U.S. currently we are in the top 100, we even have our own USO sponsored lounge called the defenders den where we can be around fellow veterans. The classes here are incredible and the professors genuinely care and thrive off interaction. You will not become another gear in the chain at this university, also the campus even though small is absolutely gorgeous.
I have been dealing with this school since December of 2015 and it has been a huge hassle. I give the school 3 stars because the actual classes are amazing, the teachers are wonderful, and I have felt challenged in my education, which is everything I would want in a school. I feel like I am getting a lot done because my classes are 8 weeks longs so I have 2 semester into 1, which can also be a burden because the cost per credit hour is still high.
