Aleah
Sullivan university is a great college for students who are really diverse. It’s about achieving our accomplishments and distinguishing those accomplishments by doing what love to do. Even though culinary is a big thing for the school but there are other curricular activities within the school. This is what I like about Sullivan university.
shantelle
I love this school. I intend on coming back after I graduate to pursue my next degree. I also like how the teachers always help you and make sure you understand the assignments for the week. Also they always have activities they you can partake in whether you go online or on campus. I really enjoy myself while going to school here at Sullivan.
Dereck
The first step of applying is the best benefit that has started my journey to success. I had to apply and pick a mind changing college. A college that has and is doing hard work to make sure their students are successful during and after college is how I made my decision. The staff takes the time to interact with students. They have proven to me that they deserve a five star overall rating. Always choose a college who makes sure their students work to be moderate.
aliza
I believe that Sullivan University is a very good school! The teachers are nice and very helpful! Everyone's friendly and there's a free tutoring center! The dorm food could be better but the dorm activities are fun, there is always some kind of event going on!
Coral
I start my quarter in September. But overall very impressed with the facility. The housing was phenomenal. I can’t wait to start my classes. The admission counselors are so understanding, supportive, and nice. I would definitely refer other students to Sullivan.
Marian
They are a great school. They focus on understanding and personally helping students. I have only visited the beautiful campus but I cannot wait to start going to school there. They have wonderful kitchens, where I want to spend most of my time, and they have small classrooms so students can have a connection in the class.
Carly
My overall opinion of Sullivan University is that it seems like a wonderful campus with a great atmosphere and the programs they offer are both great and fit what I want to do. I am excited to be going to this college in the spring of 2019, and doing great things after.
Randi
I love Sullivan, as it brings divisibility and accepts everyone into the groups. The class sizes are small, which is so much better than being in a room with 400+ folks and an instructor who's overloaded and cannot remember all the names. The schools works very hard to practice inclusion, and the staff are very friendly and knowledgeable on the topics being taught. The practice real world situations to help teach the topics.
Bridget
I love my school! The admissions office and the financial aid office are all about helping the incoming and returning students. When you are on campus you are always free to go in and talk to student services. I have had some really nice instructors that truly cared about the students.
Brittany
Its a very big opportunity to get tutoring if you need it. Its a lot of hands on activities and much easier to learn from. In my future occupation I'm defiantly going to peruse in the career I choose. Its a small enough school were the professors really do care about you.
Linvell
The school is different then others because they are built almost like a high school instead of a college. They get you in and get you out. They have classes 4 days a week and that can get your degree in a time that no other college can. They were very nice and answered any questions that I had. I personally have visited two of their campuses and im impressed.
Madison
It's a real friendly place a lot including me love the teachers there! They are smart and very helpfull when needed. The housig is great and I feel safe in my room with my roomate and classes are fun and challenging the students there are so smart and fun!
Andrew
Whenever I first hear about Sullivan University, I wasn't interested because it wasn't a popular school. Over time and a few visits later I fell in love with this school. I enrolled and got accepted and haven't stopped smiling since. I cannot wait to begin my culinary career here.
Shylar
I like the class size, the extra resources that are available on and off campus. The faculty is very helpful in helping with decision whether it a job or which courses would better help you to achieve your goal. Helping you to focus on the here and now so that you won't feel overwhelmed about the every day hassles of life.
jariah
I enjoy the academics and professors but the room and boards need a lot of improvement . my class sizes are ideal but I would like the smaller , the more one-on-one the better for me . I , however feel I have the best teacher which is Chef Mud and I owe almost everything vie learned so far in my short time of being a at Sullivan university to him . Mudd is a excellent instructor and never misses a beat ! real role model

What should every freshman at your school know before they start?
As a high school senior, I was not interested in going to college right away, and I went to work instead. If I could go back and talk to myself as a senior in high school, I would plead with myself to not wait until many years down the road to attend college. I would point out that in today's society, having a college degree is absolutely imperative in obtaining a good career. The longer you wait to further your education, means the longer you wait to better your life to today's standards. The transition into college, 10 years post high school has been very difficult, and most of what was learned in high school has passed me by. It is very important to go to college straight out of high school, and therefore, you will not have to play catch up on what you have already learned. Also, you will not be misplaced as being the older person in the class, with peers that are much younger and straight out of high school. If you do not wait, you are that much closer to getting that perfect job you've always dreamed of!
Here's your chance: Say anything about your college!
It is ranked the third best school for culinary arts in the United States. They help you find a job after you graduate and list available jobs in the area while you are attending school. You can reatake any classes that you have previously taken tuition free for life. The class sizses are only about 30 people per class maximum. Anyone can come in of Friday, which no normal classes are scheduled, to make food in their labs or get extra help from his or her instructors.
Sullivan University is different from most universities. Sullivan is perfect for people who don't enjoy the general education part of school. It caters to students who want to have a career, who are focused on being happy and successful in their careers. I truely believe that Sullivan is made for people like me. Every aspect of my education is geared to prepare me for my career. This focus on the career and, inadvertantly, on the students future.
What kind of person should not attend this school?
Anyone expecting the "Hollywood" representation of college life. The school is career focused and many leave in two years with an associates degree, while it is a good institution, its focus does not lend to broadening horizons as much as it teaches base skills and prepares one for their chosen career.
Students with a passion for fast-paced, hands-on learning who strive to improve their chosen field of interest, as well as their personal qualities, and who hold professionalism in high regard should attend this university.
What's the most frustrating thing about your school?
The labs are crowded and it becomes difficult to maneuver around people and do the work that needs to be done. In the culinary labs, there will be approximately 8 groups, and each group will prepare a different item off of that day's menu, so not everyone will be able to prepare every dish. Not even close to it.
Sullivan University is accredited and has many wonderful programs, such as Computer Science, Pharmacy, and accounting. But, the best, in my opinion, and most well known program is the School of Hospitality, mainly the Culinary Arts Program. Sullivan sent a group to cater, not only the 2006 Winter Olypics, but, also, to the Vancouver Olympics. To say the Culinary Arts Program is well known is an understatement.
What do you brag about most when you tell your friends about your school?
Someone who is very career oreinted. Someone who has goals for their future jobs and are very serious about attending college. The type of person that should attend should put forth the effort and focus on schooling. Someone who thinks it
