Nichole - 11/04/2023

I've been attending this school since 2021, and my experience has been excellent. I initially enrolled in the LPN program, which I found to be truly remarkable. Currently, I'm pursuing my education in the ASN RN program, and I'm extremely impressed with the quality of this new program. The school has consistently provided a high-quality educational experience, and my transition from LPN to the ASN RN program has been seamless and rewarding. I'm appreciative of the support and education I've received, and I'm looking forward to furthering my studies with confidence.

Raven - 12/31/2022

It is a very affordable college that offers a variety of programs. The staff is very nice and helpful. The communication is very effectively and I always have access to whatever I may need on or off campus. It's been a very easy transition from my last college.

Tamayia - 11/27/2021

Wonderful pre-requisite school. Great professors (on campus) and great investments into teaching and learning software's. Nursing program is just getting in its feet so be prepared. Front office is a definite so make sure you are on top of everything and keep documents on hand. Over all a good school.

MEGAN - 03/16/2020

SOUTH COLLEGE HAS BEEN THE WORSE INSTITUTION I HAVE EVER BEEN ENROLLED. THIS SCHOOL IS ALL FOR PROFIT AND PROFIT ONLY. THE COUNSELORS GIVE STUDENTS THIS FALSE SENSE OF HOPE, BUT IN HINE SIGHT THEY ARE JUST TRYING TO GET YOU THERE FOR FINANCIAL GAIN. VERY UNORGANIZED AND OVERPRICED, THIS INSTITUTION IS NOT FIT EVEN TO BE OPEN. ADVISE NO ONE TO GO TO THIS SCHOOL FOR ANY MAJOR AT ALL.
