"Excellent clinical preparation. When I compare my abilities to those people I have met from other dental schools, my education, specifically clinical skills, is superior. Huge work load but students are very well prepared and capable of passing board exams for all states. I've never regretted my decision to go to school there."

"I love this school so far. I only wish they would condense the places we need to go online to access things. Putting it all in one place would be very helpful."

"Nova is a great school. The professors are very experienced, and knowledgeable. The only cons is that there's couple of field campus which is where I am, and some of the resources that are available at the main campus are not available to the students at my field campus."

"Pros- My graduate program offers a range of classes and concentrations that are really tailored to the interests and passions of the students. The professors are extremely helpful and understanding concerning class or program questions. The class sizes are very small, which offers a more hands on form of learning. I also appreciate the amount of resources available to graduate students that make studying and learning easier; like the student studying center and computer lab where students can use the printer. Cons- The only real con of the graduate program is the cost. I would like to live debt free however, student loans, tuition fees, and books are very expensive causing me to stress not only over my classes but my finances. Other than that typical complaint, my graduate program facilitates my learning and is efficiently preparing me for my future."

"Some of the pros in my graduate program is that the students benefit from having the expertise of full-time faculty whose primary interests and expertise are in the field of school psychology. The courses are strictly taught by professors and not teacher aides of any kind. Graduate students in the program will have the opportunity to link theory to practice by observing, consulting, assessing, and intervening with children, teachers, and parents at the school's Mailman Segal Center (MSC) for Human Development. Cons, about the program would mainly be related to the costs of the program since this is a private university and they do not have many financial assistance programs."

"I feel that one of the pros is the support of the staff. They are always there to help you, whether its staying after class or coming in a few minutes before class. They are available by office appointments, phone calls and emails. The way the program is set up is also a pro. It is possible to work a full-time job while taking classes. The classes are offered at night and you start off with two classes. The cons of the graduate program would be it is expensive and the clinic is off-campus. Although it is only across the street, you still have to drive off campus to get there. I think that can be an inconvenience to those that do not have cars or live on campus. If the clinic were located on campus then you would be able to walk to it."

"The program I think is excellent in concept. I feel that the rules for the program has been changed so many times along the way, and that sometimes there does not appear to be any clear guidelines. Faculty try very hard to make themselves available to the students, but the classes are too big for a graduate program. Perhaps the faculty should be more selective, thus allowing more time to work with the students. Also I am discouraged by the rate of graudates from the program. The program is lengthy and financial aid has its limits and in this economy there have not been alot of options for students once they max out of financial aid."

"I love Nova! I attended this school for my undergraduate degree, and am now attending it for optometry school. I love the close-knit feel of having a smaller campus in comparison to a typical public/state university. I love the graduate program because it is very interesting and well-taught. All my professors are very helpful and encourage everyone to form a more personal relationship outside the classroom. The only thing I don't like about the program is that the workload is a little much, but it will all pay off in the end when I achieve my lifelong goal of becoming an optometrist."

"There are many pros that come with attending Nova Law School, including the faculty, the opportunities and the law school itself. The main con with attending Nova is the cost of attendance. Other then the cost Nova is a great school to study law."

"Definitely the biggest downfall is the cost of attendance. Nova is amazing school but it is very expensive. Even the cost of living in South Florida is expensive. However, the pros of the school are plentiful. Beautiful campus, wonderful staff, helpful professors, one on one communication, etc."

"Nova Southeastern University is located in a great location, though the cost of living is extremely high. As someone in the doctoral clinical psychology program, I believe our faculty and opportunities are rated among the best and I feel as though I made the correct choice in choosing to pursue a graduate education at Nova."

  • Degree: Educational Leadership
"My graduate experience at Nova Southeastern University was great. I was very nervous when I started, but the teachers and students make the transition to being a student again very easy. The professors within the Educational Leadership Program were current school Principals or Assistant Principals so the information given within the classroom setting was informative and real. The course work was detail and was not just empty course work to keep the students busy. Nova offered classes that worked around my busy schedule. I could take classes on the weekend, during the week or online without interrupting my graduation date. Furthermore, Nova’s technical support on campus and online assist with fixing problems every quickly. My overall experience was a blessing."
