    Great for these types of students

    Students interested in the Criminal Justice field that want an active role in investigating crime scenes by working hand in hand with other people in an agency to solve a crime. Students that can work well in groups Students who take the role of a leader Students that don't mind blood, the smell of a corpse etc. Students that can detach themselves from a situation, yet are noble enough to understand the victims, and their families.
    Tips for prospective students

    Take your time to learn the information. Use your laptop to quickly type in notes from lectures. LISTEN to your instructor, because you never want to mess up a crime scene. If you focus, you will have all the necessary tools and information to do the job.
    Bang for the buck

    We did things hands on, therefore we needed a variety of tools like fingerprint powder, evidence bags, cameras etc. The cameras alone cost a fortune! We were the only school that had the opportunity to use the cameras and learn about properly taking images for crime scenes. Definitely a bang for my buck!
    Did enjoy being here

    We did TONS of hands on work and we visited places like the county morgue, county jail, county crime lab, etc. This further enhanced my knowledge of the field.
    Did learn a lot

    I learned everything from fingerprinting to using the right tools for analyzing, collecting and preserving evidence. I also learned about police protocol, and the dangers that can occur on the job and how to avoid being in a hazardous situation.

    Good for students who want to cook, go into teaching, criminal justice, etc.
    Tips for prospective students

    If you are not sure about your Major or are thinking of a major but you want more information on it go to Keiser and talk to someone in that field. They have been helpful to me for over a year of trying to get in and now I'm going to get my college education.
    Bang for the buck

    Keiser is a little pricey but financial aid councilors work with you to help you figure out payment plans or other things you need. I always talk to my councilor and she always answers or calls back to help me with my questions or needs.
    Will enjoy being here

    Keiser has a friendly atmosphere, every time I go to see my councilor they are always in a good mood and glad to help. Its a good friendly environment.
    Will learn a lot

    Keiser has many fields of study and teachers and tutors who will help you when you need it.

    What to do for fun

    NOT POSITIVE. I ENGINEER FOR P.M.E WHEN I AM NOT WORKING OR IN SCHOOL. IT'S A LITTLE MUSIC PRODUCTION STUDIO; MY SIDE PASSION.
    Food and Dining

    I AM NOT SURE ABOUT THE FOOD AND DINING YET, BUT ON THE OCCASIONS THAT I DID VISIT THE CAMPUS, IT SURE DID SMELL DELICIOUS.
    Dorm Life

    I AM NOT FAMILIAR WITH DORM LIFE AND I AM ALMOST POSITIVE THAT THE STUDENTS DONT RESIDE ON CAMPUS.
    Academic Rigor

    THIS SCHOOL LETS YOU CONCENTRATE ON ONE SUBJECT PER MONTH, 3 DAYS A WEEK, 4 HOURS PER DAY. THIS KEEPS YOU FOCUSED ON THAT PARTICULAR SUBJECT AND YOU RECEIVE YOUR CREDIT AS SOON AS THE MONTH/COURSE IS OVER. THIS TECHNIQUE IS HONESTLY THE MAIN REASON I DECIDED TO CHECK THE SCHOOL OUT IN THE FIRST PLACE. ALL THE OTHER PLUSES CAME ALONG AFTERWARDS.
    Tips for prospective students

    THE SCHOOL IS VERY FLEXIBLE, SO IF YOU WORK FULL-TIME AND NEED TO TAKE A FEW CLASSES ONLINE, I'D RECOMMEND THAT YOU DO. I'M CURRENTLY TAKING MY COMPUTER COURSE ONLINE AND I LOVE IT.

    Any student that is on a time cruntch to get through school, working and needing to take care of a family without prolonged time away from home, been out of school for a while or not straight out of high school. These seem to be the best fits for the school because you don't have to wait years to get through a course. Your finished in a timely manner and your able to go out and provide for yourself or family as needed much faster.
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    I have not encountered any that I can think of.
    Bang for the buck

    Keiser may be a little bit more expensive compared to other schools in the area, but they will not put you on a waiting list for years and have you taking classes that you don't need to necessarily need for your course of study. Sometimes you have to pay more money to get through school in a timely manner without all the bumps in the road slowing you down.
    What to do for fun

    Hanging out with friends and family is the best thing to do for fun. Having a support system and people who love you around you all the time makes life enjoyable.
    Food and Dining

    Really wish Keiser had a cafeteria or at least food that wasn't out of a vending machine. It may not be really not hours at school but sometimes food helps you think and we all know food is the happiness of students.
    Dorm Life

    Keiser is not a live on campus school. This does not apply.
    Tips for prospective students

    If your looking for a school that is always willing to help their students out, has a open door policy for any issue, and wants to see you succeed and willing to help you job search after graduation if needed, then Keiser University is the school for you.

    I thought Keiser University worked very hard to help me fit my education into my already very busy personal schedule. As a single mother, finding time to go back to school was difficult. However, Keiser provided online classes, flexible hours with night and day classes so I could make going back to school attainable. I think Keiser University would be a great fit for the parent or working person, or anyone with an already busy schedule.

    I became a member of the Phi Theta Kappa during my first year at Keiser University, and the ceremony they had for the students who were being accepted and their families was enjoyable.

However, if you need further assistance outside of what you can handle, do not hesitate to ask someone.

    Make an appointment before heading out to check it out for yourself, it'll speed up the process or you'll have to wait until they've gone through all the appts they had for the day. The admissions personnel is very nice and helpful and they'll work with you to help cover all expenses and answer any questions you have, so don't be afraid to ask lots of questions. The admissions office is open until 8pm.

    Keiser University in Port St. Lucie is a small and very friendly complex. I was surprised by the committed approach my admissions counselor Michael had and even more so at the ongoing followup I received from him. Everyone at the campus is pleasant and accommodating and never once did I feel out of place. In one short week all of my paperwork was completed, financial aid was established and my scheduled was set. No hassles, no time consuming testing or lectures, just an easy to understand admissions process that worked perfectly with my busy schedule.

    Keiser is great for students with families or kids. They work around your schedule. You can either go to school in the morning or at night. If you have a hard time focusing, this school is great for you. You only have one class per month. They also provide online schooling to certain programs that apply. For example, general education classes. The student to teacher ratio is very small. The largest class I've been in was a class of 27. Teachers do a great job teaching the material they need to teach.

    Keiser is a very expensive school for claiming to be a non-profit school. The positive side of this school is that it is accredited by the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools , and they help you find a job. Although, a job is not guaranteed. In general education classes I do not feel like I learned anything but the clinical classes I do feel like I've learned a lot.
    What to do for fun

    There is not really anything to do for fun in Keiser. This is a school for students that need to go to school but also have jobs, and families to take care of. Most students go in, and go out.
    Food and Dining

    Keiser's cafeteria is very small. It is in the middle of class rooms, and the library/deans office so there is high traffic going in and out. There is 5 vending machines. 4 of snacks 1 of drinks. Usually the students go to the gas station of KFC to buy lunch. There is only 2 microwaves.
    Dorm Life

    Keiser does not have dorm rooms. All housing is personal housing.
    Academic Rigor

    I don't not feel that Keiser's gen eds classes are challenging enough. I felt as if I was repeating high school all over again. Sure, people want to get by knowing they will get an A but the whole purpose of college is to learn. The clinical classes are amazing you do learn a lot.
    Tips for prospective students

    Make sure to look up reviews before attending this university. Do not be quick to attend. To each his own if you are looking for a real college experience this school is not for you. *WARNING* Keiser's Financial aid harasses for money. There is always something new they bring up, and there is always something new they come up with to make you pay. They try to base your FASFA off of someone else's income. As in your mother, father, or whoever you live with if you do not have the proper income to support yourself. PLEASE DO YOUR RESEARCH BEFORE WASTING YOUR TIME!!!

    Tips for prospective students

    make sure you go in knowing what you want to do or you can take lots of classes and chage your major alot and end up with a big debt and no degree
    In three sentences

    easy classes since its one class per month its easier to concentrate in that one class versus t4 at the same time. they do try to help you and yes its expensive but i thought it was well worth it

    Campus Safety

    I feel safe everyday i go to school, there is a guard always in the parking lot watching over the cars and the safety of the students.
    Greek Life

    There really isn't a greek life however they do offer a Honor society.
    Clubs and Activities

    Not really the school to go if you looking for a clubs.
    Great for these types of students

    If you the kind of student who doesn't want to have the load of taking 4 classes at once and like to focus on on subject at a time then Keiser is fo you.

    Well, there is only 2 building on my campus in Lakeland, which seems a little strange but its nice.
    Bang for the buck

    Its expensive school, but i really don't know another school out there that offer the flexible hours and one class a month schedule.
    What to do for fun

    They offer clubs and do events on campus at least once a month.
    Food and Dining

    There isn't a dining hall, however there are break rooms where you can heat up you food and some vending machines that do have salads, and subs in them. The food is good and in expensive.
    Dorm Life

    There are no dorms.
    Academic Rigor

    It's very fast paced and its a lot to take in at one time. However, I have found this very enjoyable and love that classes are only 1 month long.
    Tips for prospective students

    1. Be ready to work hard, it's a fast paced schedule 2. Classes are small, so you get a lot of one-on- one time 3. Hands on Learning

    It is a small university, don't know if there are any clubs or activities. I haven't heard of any yet, I start hopefully this year, if not next year.
    Food and Dining

    It is located in Daytona area, were all the restaurants and fast foods are located really close!

    I must say it was the only university that showed their actual interest in helping me with my education. My counselor calls me every week to keep me up-to-date with the process of enrollment. Everyone was very pleasant, even the students assure me how please they were!

    MOSTLY EVERYONE HERE EXUDES A MATURE AND RESPONSIBLE DEMEANOR. SO YOU WON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT YOUR SAFETY BEING PUT IN JEOPARDY.
    Greek Life

    THERE ARE NO SORORITIES AND SUCH HERE. THIS IS BUSINESS NOT THE MALL!
    Clubs and Activities

    AS IT STANDS I HAVEN'T CHECKED OUT ANY OF THE CLUBS YET... AND I LIKELY WON'T HAVE THE TIME.
    Great for these types of students

    YOU MUST BE HIGHLY MOTIVATED AND WELL DISCIPLINED. A PERSONALITY TYPES WILL STRIVE! BEST FOR PEOPLE WHO FOCUS MORE ON ACADEMICS THAN ON SOCIALIZING. MUST ALSO BE A LITTLE TOUGH SKINNED BECAUSE THIS IS LIKE A DOG EAT DOG KIND OF PLACE. THE ENVIRONMENT IS VERY COMPETITIVE AND EVEN STUDENTS WHO AREN'T IN THE SAME PROGRAM AS YOU WILL COME OFF AS THOUGH THEY'RE HOPING FOR YOU TO FAIL.
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    WELL THE LOCATION ISN'T TOO BAD FOR ME. I TAKE 2 BUSES TO GET TO THE FT. LAUDERDALE CAMPUS ON COMMERCIAL BLVD AND 15TH AVE. IT'S KIND OF SITUATED BEHIND A HOTEL. COMMERCIAL IS A VERY BUSY MAIN STREET SO YOU DEFINITELY GET THE CITY VIBE OF THIS CAMPUS.
    Bang for the buck

    OK SO THIS ISN'T LIKE YOUR RUN OF THE MILL COMMUNITY COLLEGE. THIS IS A PRIVATE INSTITUTION. THE COST FOR TUITION IS SUPER EXPENSIVE EVEN IF YOU QUALIFY TO RECEIVE FINANCIAL AID AND STUDENT LOANS. IT COST NEARLY $2000 PER CLASS. SO THIS IS A MOTIVATING FORCE TO TRY YOUR HARDEST TO PASS EACH CLASS. WHO CAN AFFORD TO JUST THROW AROUND A COUPLE OF GRAND?
    What to do for fun

    I HAVEN'T BEEN THERE LONG ENOUGH TO REALLY FIND OUT WHAT FUN ACTIVITIES EXIST. BUT WITH THE AMOUNT OF WORK WE'RE EXPECTED TO COMPLETE WHO HAS TIME FOR FUN?!
    Food and Dining

    I USUALLY PACK MY OWN LUNCH EACH DAY BUT I'VE HEARD, AND SMELLED, THE GOOD HOT MEALS THAT YOU CAN PURCHASE ON CAMPUS FOR LIKE $6 A PLATE. I'M TALKING CHICKEN FINGERS, FRENCH FRIES.... THE WHOLE NINE YARDS! MMMMMM.....FOOD = ))
    Dorm Life

    THERE ARE NO DORMS WITH THESE CAMPUSES
    Academic Rigor

    YOU'VE GOT TO BRING YOUR A GAME HERE. UNLIKE YOUR TRADITIONAL COLLEGES, ALL CLASSES AT KEISER UNIVERSITY ARE DESIGNED TO BE COMPLETED WITHIN JUST 1 MONTH. THAT MEANS THERE'S A TON OF WORK AND STUDYING REQUIRED! SO THERE'S NO TIME TO HORSE AROUND. MUST HAVE AT LEAST A 3.0 AVERAGE IN ORDER TO BE ACCEPTED INTO YOUR PROGRAM OF CHOICE ONCE ALL YOUR GENERAL ED CREDITS ARE SATISFIED. AFTERWARDS, YOU HAVE TO MAINTAIN AN AVERAGE OF AT LEAST A 2.75. THESE PROGRAMS ARE GEARED TOWARDS GAINING A REAL SKILL SO YOU WON'T BE REQUIRED TO TAKE UNNECESSARY COURSES.
    Tips for prospective students

    MAKE SURE THAT YOU ARE SERIOUS ABOUT GAINING A SKILL. THIS ISN'T THE PLACE FOR SOMEONE WHO JUST WANTS TO GO TO SCHOOL AND TAKE A COUPLE OF YEARS TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THEY WANT TO DO WITH THEIR LIFE. ONCE YOU DECIDE TO ATTEND THIS INSTITUTION IT'S BECAUSE YOU ACTUALLY KNOW WHAT YOU WANT TO DO AND WHERE YOU WANT TO HEAD.
    In three sentences

    I GIVE KEISER U 4 OUT OF 5 STARS. THERE THE BEST PLACE TO ATTEND IF YOUR LOOKING TO REALLY GAIN A CAREER. THE ENVIRONMENT IS VERY PROFESSIONAL AND CLEAN WHICH CONTRIBUTES TO OVERALL APPEAL OF THE CAMPUS.
