Southern New Hampshire University Top Questions

The worst thing about this school is that I was not informed properly when I began. Apparently, their financial aid starts with Term 6, instead of Term 1. So I lost a significant amount of grant money that I was supposed to have for the year. Also, they won't just give you the money for the year. If you don't take 2 classes every term, you don't get the full grant amounts.

The worst thing about SNHU for me is that the food is expensive. I'm a commuter student so there's probably worse things that I don't know about, but since I don't have a meal plan I have to pay for all the food I get on campus. I've pretty much stopped eating at the Dining Center because it costs so much; I just eat at home before and after class.

I think they screw you over finacially and the money being spent doesnt add up to the credidation the school gets when you graduate, but the people you meet there are friends for a life time

The local campus does not have an ATM that I can use fee free for the Higher One debit card to get my refund money.

I am currently enrolled in Rhode Island College, and what I consider to be the worst part of this school is the fact that it reminds me of high school. Everyone on campus still has the high school mentality and is not ready to grow up. I blame this on the fact that the campus is filled with commuters, and doesn't give you many options to enjoy yourself.

The school is an academic school and does not have a good arts program.

I?m an online student and I think the worst thing about it is the group projects. The people in my classes are from all over the world, if you get stuck in a group with people who are in a different time zone it is really hard to coordinate together to get the project complete.

the size of the school library has to be the only bad thing i can think of. The library needs to be larger in order to accomodate the growing number of students. There are not enough computers or seats for all students to use in the library, however there are plenty of computers elsewhere on campus.

The worst thing I can think of is that you have to graduate. I know that sounds funny, but I LOVE going to school. I will never stop and I wish SNHU had a Nursing program. But I recently moved back to Florida and will attend a University here for Nursing.

The admissions office and the academic advisors do not talk to each other nor with the schools within the university.

I think that the worst thing about SNHU is that some of the professors here are not well-educated in their field and tend to give everyone an A no matter how much effort is put into an assignment. For students who really work hard, this can get aggravating.

Lack of cultural diversity and intelligence.

Nothing around, cold, small parties

Taking two evening classes is considered full time, Yet only full time day students are eligible for SEOG's up to 12,000. a year. As a working mother of three teenagers I should receive financial aid from the school, but I only receive pell grants and to me that's discrimantion.

PublicSafety & FinancialAid. Public safety doesnt get involved if there is a fight on campus. if you want a ride to your dorm when its dark out they wont help you (they claim they offer this service). if you report an accident or vandalism it takes them a long time to respond and give you the help you need. The financial aid office ONLY gives out money to kids and families who have little to no money...thats great, but people like me, whose family makes money but still cant pay for this school, dont qualify for any money at all.

Some of the professors do not seems to care about teaching. There is not too many choices for people who want to eat oraganically or are vegetarians, and the staff is often not too helpful and often rude when dealing with students.

The administration places an emphasis of profit rather than academia.
