"Do not enroll in this program due to false information and deceptive practices. I was misrepresented as to the program's length, and I cannot recommend this institution to anyone. I feel like my concerns are not being addressed by the administrators of the program."

"Good god. Please disregard all those professionally bull crap 5 star answers! Hopefully you can tell most of those 5 star reviews are just the staff.... the system at south college is easy. They want your money they will get your money and some how 🤔 max out your loans. 90% fail grade oh i had 90% in one class 88% in the other last 85% 😅 oh i was kicked out my exam average was 79%? They dont round or add any other class assignments work to your grade?? But you still have to do the homework they never even told me i was in danger of being dropped untill last day i finished my lab skills. Stay away and pass it on! Read other web sites or you will be sorry!"

"I have been in many different schools. Other schools have many extra curriculum just for the sake of money. This is the perfect scenario I have been searching for. I wish I could have found this sooner. I would recommend anyone who has experiences and good studying their own way"

"After attending South College in Atlanta, I am unimpressed. It came recommended to me by a previous school counselor while I was obtaining my Associate Degree in Medical Assisting. I feel as if the school was very ill-prepared. I did all of my prerequisites online, which is not a big deal. But the teachers were very unavailable unless they were telling you that they were giving you a failing grade. It was rather unhelpful. The student counselors are even worse. Any time I would call I would get their voicemail. I left voicemails for mine several days in a row and only got a call back after about a month. They lost my previous transcripts, twice. It was just an utter mess. I am happy to have finished getting my Associate's Degree in Pre-Nursing because I am moving on to a different, hopefully, better school. I would not recommend South College to my worse enemy if I had one."

"The staff at this college is very supportive and encouraging. There are many resources for students to boost there skills. South College has quarters rather than semesters and that took some time for me to adjust to. The accounting classes are fun but difficult. My advice to anyone thinking about going in to the accounting classes at South College is to go for it. Believe in yourself and do your best."

"South College is one of the best Business Colleges in Knoxville, TN. According to my SWAT Analysis, I found out that it provides small classes in compare to University of Tennessee, so students can get more attention and have a space to engage in strategic discussion. Whereas in University of Tennessee, they have average classes of 80 to 150 students which will make difficult for students to have one on one conversation. I noticed that most of the staff members at South College are dedicated and very helpful if students need any assistance. Few things South College can improve are tuition cost and job placement service. Fees are high in compare to University of Tennessee and other colleges. They should have some arrangements with local corporations for job placement services."

"they are very nice when you visit the school and start the application process. But when you start the college, they are not very helpful. Its also a private university, therefore, the cost of attendance is high. The professors are recent graduates, therefore, when they gain experience; they leave the school to a better school and are replaced with new professors."

"South college has a 3 year (accelerated) PharmD program. The school of pharmacy is actually at a satellite building away from the main campus along with the PA and nursing students. The teachers are amazing and are genuinely interested in your education and bettering the students. Many of the professors also have a PharmD degree and cater the courses to what you will need to know in practice. The class size is usually around 70-80 which makes for a small, tight knit class. Parking is great since the building is only for the graduate program's students and faculty. South is a great choice for someone who is trying to earn their degree quicker and get out into the work force."

"Pros are monthly start dates; ease of communication with every department that a student interfaces before, during, and after enrollment; classes are direct and to the point; curriculum is adaptable to student's particular need Cons are outside variables still limit progression from prospective student to enrolled student; financial aid awards are slow to be received and applied."

"This graduate program is really competitive and it offers the knowledge that is needed to succeed in my healthcare field. The tools are there and they just have to be utilized. My student adviser and financial aid adviser always call at least one a term to make sure that everything is going well. I would recommend this graduate program to anyone."

"The pros of this graduate program is that it offers courses to direct me into entry level jobs in the medical field, but the cons are that the program doesn't offer a direct field of study in order for me to accomplish my career goal of being an ultrasound tech. It does offer many courses in the medical field but just doesn't offer any online training for the specific ultrasound technician in which that has to be accomplished on-campus which is somewhat difficult with my full-time work schedule and having a family. Overall the staff or faculty that I have dealt with have been very helpful in my learning and have answered any questions I may have had. Also one other con is about how to earn a scholarship through this school in order to help fund my schooling. None of this was really explained to me. I just happened upon a scholarship website and signed up and now I am earning scholarship points. The only way to receive a scholarship is if my name is drawn."
