Keiser University - Tampa Reviews (2024)

Rating 5 out of 5

As an employee of Keiser University Tampa I take great pride in being able to service the students by assisting them with the management of their financial accounts and taking part in helping them achieve their academic goals. The culture at the university is empowering and I am grateful to be a part of it and hope to contribute to it for as long as I am there.

I didn’t like my experience at Keiser University. I originally started at the New Port Richey campus and it felt like I was talking to a car salesman because they were trying so hard to convince me to enroll. I had a few doubts at first & now I regret not following my instincts. I was sold a dream that I would graduate in 2024 but that’s only true if you forget about your life & join full time. Let’s also not forget the financial aspect of it. The fees are ridiculously high & expect to pay the same tuition as someone who’s out of state. After transferring to the tampa campus, I was never set up with an advisor so I had no idea what my next step was after finishing my prerequisites. I finally got set up with one & now Im being rushed to get all my medical documentation in within a few weeks. Lets be real, this school only cares about money. Would you feel comfortable graduating with JUST AN ASSOCIATES degree & leaving with about 70k in student loans? Absolutely not. I do not recommend.

Keiser University has a great flexible schedule for working students. Also, the small class sizes allow for more chances to ask for help from the professor which can help ensure your success.

Keiser University has been a pleasant surprise to me. The staff and teachers really care about their students and take the time to help to whether it be about their studies, financials, or outside factors that may be affecting them. The class are small and the teachers take the time to make sure every student understands the material and interacts with the class. My online class have also been a nice experience. The teachers are very engaged with their student and will reach out to make sure the students are on the right tract with classwork and understanding the assignments.
One thing I have noticed about the programs that are taught at Keiser, is that the programs run on a very strict schedule with some of them only starting once a year. More flexibility with classes could be helpful to some students with very full/busy lives outside of the school with time obligations to keep.

Carrie Dimanche, my admissions advisor, did a great job of selling me on the school. I like being able to focus on one class at a time.

They are very caring when it come to the overall student. They have helped me build character and discipline.

I would not recommend this university to anyone. If I could go back, I would not have gotten my nursing degree here. The only benefit was making a life long best friend through suffering through the nursing program together. Clinical rotations was a joke. The ASN program is favored over the BSN program. The university only cares about you as a number to boost their rating, could care less of you as a person.

Keiser University is a school that works at your pace. Classes are 4 weeks at a time, which still accumulates to the same amount of credits at the end of a semester as any other university. I’ve felt helped and cared for in every aspect, from the application process to being in classes. There are no dorms or campus cafeterias/ restaurants which is why I rated those categories low. The school is very diverse and ages range from 17-35.

These guys are self rating their Niche profile; if you look closely you'll notice a pattern in choice of words every 2 to 3 reviews that give an excellent score. I went to Keiser in Ft. Lauderdale, and completed my international business undergraduate degree, but when I tried applying for an MBA at FAU, about three quarters of my credits simply didn't transfer over, even though they're supposed to be a regionally accredited institution. I had two choices: take out more loans, and complete my MBA there, or admit that I had just pretty much wasted four years of my life, accept the humiliation, and start from scratch by enrolling into an accredited community college. So, I went to Broward College; I graduated with an Associate's Degree in physical fitness, and just gave up on grad-school. The only reason I went there instead of BC in the first place is because I only had a GED, and BC has a short list Bachelor's degree programs. Business is one of those degrees, but it was too late.

Honestly if I knew how keiser was before I started I would of never went there and I do not recommend other people to go there. They are all about getting money and not about helping the student learn. We pay $50,000 to go there but yet all of the equipment is donated and old that hardly works, all of the carpet is tore up, we have a cafeteria that isn’t operational, vending machines that don’t work most of the time, and microwaves that don’t work. While the radiology program is a great program I don’t feel like I’m getting what I pay for. When I ask for extra money from my personal student loan to pay for bills because I can’t work(even though I was told they would work with me and I could take night classes which isn’t an option) they tell me I need to give up my scholarship or pay my scholarship back with the extra money I would get. Keiser is truly about the money and not the student education.

If i could give this college admissions department a 0 i would. First of all when i initially called i was greeted very poorly and the lack of enthusiasm was very distasteful coming from a college thats supposed to want to "encourage" its students.. I asked for information was given an " im not sure" with clear annoyance .. After my phone meeting was over i decided to look elsewhere. However this number keeps calling me and i am at my withstand with who ever it is all i know is that i answered once and was given a very rude response by the women on the other end " no you called me " and hanging up.. Really Kesier.. I worked for admissions before i know the days and the data entry are long.. But if you cant hire people at your tampa branch with better attitudes then maybe your CEO should pay you guys a visit sometime if you catch my drift.. Be aware of who you hire because they are making you lose money and students. +19547764476 here is the number in question. Very disappointing.

Nice work environment, staff are always there to help you with anything and has best teachers. It is a safe space to learn, classes are lively and keep you on your feet, and it is known to be a very diverse campus with majors of all sorts from nursing to tech studies.

I am attending Keiser in the fall, but overall my experience with them has been amazing. I have had many questions, and every question was answered very detailed. I was guided along the way with my admission advisor. My financial aid advisor was amazing as well, very much explained every detail to me. I am so excited to start my OTA program.

All have been really helpful so far. Overall enjoying my experience, they've been helping me with doing my loans, finding scholarships and getting prepared to start class. As of now, it's all in-class and on-campus so it's really great to be on the campus again. The campus is also very clean and organized. The classes are not too big or too small, professors all seem genuine and that they really want to help you learn. Both of my academic advisors have also been really helpful!

The staff has been wonderful. The classes have been challenging, and the instructors are knowledgeable.

My online classes have been challenging, but not impossible. All of the instructors answered questions promptly.

The professors are trying their best with what they have to provide the education we paid for. The platform itself has issues, but the professors cant do much about that.

Rating 4 out of 5

Due to online learning, it is not as personal and not much interaction unless you reach out for assistance. Overall, it is a great way to work at your own pace and complete assignments on your own schedule.
