Student Testimonials
What students and graduates are saying —
in their own words, from every campus and online.
I am incredibly proud to have earned my bachelor’s degree in construction management. Life can present challenges, particularly as an adult balancing various responsibilities — however, I persevered and overcame those challenges to achieve this goal. I am now pursuing a degree in Engineering, and with the guidance and support of my instructors and Everglades University staff, I can continue this path.
I came to Everglades University because I have always been fascinated with aviation. I like the small classes because they have a personal, down-to-earth feel — the students and faculty can interact more with each other. This school is very enjoyable, compared to other colleges that I have attended.
After returning from my service as a helicopter rescue mechanic in the US Coast Guard, I decided to continue my education and get an MBA in Aviation Safety. I am eager to use my degree to excel with my new business in construction aerial imaging. The staff here has been outstanding, helpful, responsive, and personable.
I came to Everglades University to further my education, explore possibilities of a new career, and learn from successful intellectuals in the industry. Everglades University challenged me to explore my intellect, learning skills, and time management habits in order to become a better person.
The Alternative Medicine degree program significantly expanded my understanding of various forms of herbal medicine, as well as other areas such as Naturopathy and Homeopathy. One course that particularly stands out is Alternative Approaches to Diseases, where Professor Jomsky brought the subject to life with his extensive knowledge and experience. I am grateful to Everglades University for motivating me to go above and beyond.
I came to Everglades University to study business and advance in my culinary career. I plan to open a new restaurant one day or manage an established one. Everyone is really welcoming, and it is a place where I know I can grow because everyone is supportive, including the staff and my classmates. The campus is small, well-kept and clean — a comforting environment for the students.
I came to Everglades University to continue my education, using my GI Bill benefits. I have nothing but positive things to say. The classes are smaller and more intimate, and the staff and faculty are extremely helpful. With my leadership experience from the military, I am a good leader that people can talk to.
I’m a registered nurse, belly dancer, and singer, but I love being out in nature and learning how to protect it. I chose the sustainability major because I believe, as humans here on earth, it is important knowledge to have. I believe we were placed on this earth to enjoy life in abundance, and this major can enhance that vision.
I chose to begin my academic journey in Alternative Medicine to further my knowledge of holistic and sustainable living. Positive results in my personal health motivated me to dig deeper and educate myself so that I could help others make positive changes as well. Throughout the enrollment process, the staff at Everglades has been genuinely wonderful.
Everglades University helped me gain confidence in my pursuit to accomplish my dreams. I was working as a general contractor with my second child on the way, looking for a change to better my family’s life.
Everglades University has granted me opportunities that were not available to me before having a degree. All the classes and staff were engaging and have prepared me for my next journey into law school. I would highly recommend Everglades University to anyone looking to further their education.
Everglades University’s Hospitality Management program was a transformative experience for me. The dedicated faculty and hands-on learning approach not only prepared me for a successful career but also instilled in me a passion for excellence and service in the hospitality industry.
Everglades University offered me the opportunity to continue my studies in Alternative Medicine. I am in a wheelchair and live in a different state. The classes are interactive, and it is motivational for the person to make a difference in their lives. The staff is great, very informative and helpful, and the teachers are all top notch.
I worked full time as a Junior Estimator while working towards my degree at EU. What I was learning in class came together at work. Within two months of graduation, I received a promotion to a Senior Estimator position and a substantial increase in pay. EU provided me with a lot more than a degree — they provided me with a key to success.
In 2010, after having been out of school since 1973, I decided to return to college to complete my degree. I graduated summa cum laude in May 2013, shortly before my 73rd birthday. My experience at EU was exciting, rewarding and empowering. Today I am more confident than ever and always hungry for more knowledge.
Everglades University Online affords me the opportunity to earn a valuable education for my job as well as the ability to spend time with my family. The instructors are very knowledgeable in their fields and use real-world scenarios — I have taken that knowledge and transitioned it to my own line of work as an aircraft mechanic.
My experience at EU from the very beginning was full of support and encouragement. The thought of going back to school at my age after so many years was a little overwhelming at times. My Admissions Counselor and the Construction Department Chair encouraged me every step of the way and helped me believe that I could achieve my dream.
Going to Everglades University was the best decision I made toward reaching my education goals. The staff was excellent in helping me prepare for the future. I really had a great experience in pursuit of my Bachelor’s Degree in Applied Management.
Having a family, being in the military and constantly moving around the world made it almost impossible to go to a regular college. The staff and faculty at Everglades University allowed me to fulfill a dream that’s been at least 25 years in the making. The instructors have real-world experience and know how to apply it — a formula for success.
From Allied Medicine to Business was a big jump. My professors made it comfortable and fun. With 4 books out in 3 different forms of media, I would say my publishing business has picked up. I worked hard but it was all worth it. I am happy to be an Everglades University Alumni.
