Southern New Hampshire University Reviews
Rating 4.37 out of 5 4,466 reviews
Rating 5 out of 5
Southern New Hampshire University made going back to college as a full-time mother and teacher, the easiest process in the world. All the faculty I have dealt with has been more than kind and patient and willing to help. I highly recommend applying for SNHU. They have great Reviews. They have a high graduation rate. They have great accreditations. online two classes a term is considered full-time And the schedule works perfectly for full-time parents/working class. The admissions and student financial aid office work perfectly together to help get you into school and on the right path without the extra worries or concerns. I will be back to review more when I graduate!

My experience with Southern New Hampshire University has been influential in my overall life. I began attending SNHU for almost 3 years now and when I first started, I was working full time as a United States Marine. While I was attending classes I would be various places around the world, but my councilor would assure me that my professions and SNHU understands and will find ways to make up any lost credit. I also appreciated the fact that SNHU puts the power into the students' hands by allowing them to take up to 4 classes (12 college credits) in just two months! this definitely allowed me to catch up with my peers who surpassed me due to my choice in joining the military. One thing I would like to see change within SNHU is to Maby incorporate a zoom meeting twice a month just to ask questions or have a clearer understanding of what we are learning in a group setting.

SNHU's online platform enabled me to work full-time while being a full-time student. The courses were synchronous, which made it convenient for me to complete weekly assignments. This experience has provided me with the knowledge and confidence to pursue graduate school. I was able to utilize all of my community college credits toward obtaining my bachelor's degree. I found their instructors knowledgeable and attentive in all of my courses. Something that I found really helpful was their academic support, which allowed me to access tutoring 24/7. I was also surprised by how often my academic advisor checked in with me along my educational journey. I highly recommend it to anyone.
