Jerssie - 12/08/2019

The atmosphere is great! The financial advisors are easily assessable my first interactions with the admissions advisers was great and well into my academics I am still in communication with those very same advisers. The professors are more than capable to teach the subjects.

Lisa - 06/28/2019

Hodges is the safest and the best place that gives to everyone the opportunity to study and achieve their goals.

Seamus - 11/02/2018

My overall impression of Hodges University is very positive. It is a pleasure to receive assistance from representatives in the admissions and financial aid departments. The staff and student employees are very friendly and will go the extra mile to help you in your specific request. More specifically, the faculty for the Physical Therapy Assistant Program is very welcoming, knowledgeable, and routinely make themselves available outside of scheduled class time. Furthermore, the faculty team will gladly hold meetings with individual students to discuss educational opportunities, interests pertaining to clinical experiences, and offer solutions to assist in overcoming potential challenges faced in the program. From the beginning, it became evident that the healthcare professionals and supporting staff at Hodges University want to help you succeed and excel in the classroom, during clinical internship experiences, and ultimately as an entry-level professional.

Jessica - 04/10/2018

I would recommend this school to anyone. The advisors, professors, and other staff are all supportive, helpful, and friendly. My education and experience at Hodges so far has been priceless. The online programs offered are excellent! The locations and hours of Hodges are very convenient.

Also, the professors all have real life experience and are teaching in the field, that they had previous work experience in. The also take the time to explain or talk to you about any question one may have.

  9. What are the academics like at your school?

    Great Academics, great professors, small class size. Most students are intelligent and ready to go the extra mile to get their degree. In my Criminal Justice class, i had a wonderful professors and helped me to figure out things that i needed an answer. The academic requirement is good because you have to work hard to get it and there is an entrance test you have to write before you can be admitted. The entrance test have a grade they look for and when you fail to make the grade you will keep on taking the test until you pass it. The University is accredited and getting a job will not be as major problem, but at the same time it depends on the student seriousness.

  10. What are the most popular student activities/groups?

    They have few clubs in the school like the Diversity club, Legal association etc. that play different roles in making the university a better one. Most students party in the clubs and bars since it is not a University that can boast of social amenities due to the size. They do not have anything like on campus housing and the city it self don't have much to boast when it comes to cities like Miami, Tampa etc.

    One stereotype is that since the college caters to adult professionals, it skimps on seriousness of curriculum and depth of coursework. This leaves some with the view that students have gotten off easy and haven't put as much work into their program as they may have in a traditional setting.

  12. What is your overall opinion of this school?

    I think the best thing about the University is that almost everyone is friendly and helpful when it comes to Academics. But they lack the neccessary resources to make the college one of its kind. The library is small, the computer lab is not open 24hrs, internship opportunities is not robust. The University is too small to actually boast of amenities like gym, housing facilities, recreational and sporting as well as rankings. When it come to administration, they extremely helpful and will go the extra mile to assist you in academic affairs. What i can say make the university stand out among other Universities in the state of Florida is how it has been structured. One can take classes in school, online, in the day, evening and on weekends. That make it unique and gives an opportunity for everyone to earn a degree without leaving his current job. Helpful staff will always be part of me and helpful professors as well. Well, most students complain of the cost to attend the University and i think is because it is a private university.

    The best part about attending Hodges University - formally International College, is that the professors legitimately care about the well being of their students to the fullest extent possible. They take the time to make sure that you understand fully what is being taught. They care about there position and getting you where you need to be in order to be the best in your field of study.
