I'm in the IT field and had done their Jumpstart program during high school. A lot of these reviews seem to be people surprised that a private college is expensive, what did you expect? My professors have been very helpful and you can contact them about almost any need and they will respond. I am an online student but the experience should persist into the physical experience. They offer free chances at certifications to help you get into fields. If you fail a class and take the penalty for having to pay to do it again, that is on you, this is college not high school and now is the time for your very best effort. If you can get the right tuition for this college, it is very much worth it.

Posting here because they shut Sullivan College for Technology and Design down, a location they had absorbed. The school was awful. When Sullivan University took over they had fired all of the teachers without Masters degrees then only hired on part-time teachers. When the merger happened I was pulled out of class and forced to sign paperwork which I was told was simply just confirming my loans for the University. What really happened was that they were adding additional loans for the merger without my knowing. I wasn't given the time to read through anything and I was openly lied to. After I had graduated I had to fight tooth and nail for almost a year to get my degree. From what I had heard they later had taken out the computers from that building, expected you to buy a Mac, then shut down the whole location. They blame it on attendance. I blame it on the staff which ran the facility. If I could go back in time I would stop myself from ever attending such a place. I wish I could get that money back because now I'm stuck with extra debt that will most likely eventually cause me to go bankrupt and with a degree that different locations have laughed off because they see the Sullivan schools as subpar. From the awful assistance in classes, teachers just nodding along to anything you say and then failing you as if they ever offered you a word of advice, to the fact that I had actually made a comment about my mental health being so awful that I wanted to do something irreversible which was ignored by everyone but my classmates, it was just an awful experience. I truly believe mentally I am worse off after attending the school.

I've gone to multiple colleges/universities all over the world thanks to my travels, but not a single one compares to the experience I've had at Sullivan. The experiences and memories I've made all come from the instructors and the opportunities they've offered us students. From the school work to the volunteering events to their personalities and fun stories/life experiences, I've loved having the chance to absorb it all. I've been to amazing schools, but this school tops the charts. My instructors have gotten to know me and my quirks, they've cared about and all my classmates, they're extremely patient (to the point where I think I need to work on my own patience because I aspire to be on their level~namaste). I came to this school just for fun. I already have degrees and a nice career (and back up career) set up for myself, but the chefs truly believe in me and have pulled out talent I didn't know I had. I don't think I have a lot of talent, but more like I'm good at following THEIR fabulous instruction. I hope the young students mature and realize how good they have it at Sullivan. Their Pastry and their Culinary programs are top tier. I really feel at home here and I don't feel anxious or dread coming to school. I tell other students they're so lucky if they get to come to this school! Chef Rifkind is a talented, sweetheart of a cake designer and so extremely patient. I really believe that it's thanks to her that I'll be pursuing a career in baking. I wasn't going to, but if someone as skilled and attentive to details and perfect as her says to you "you're talented", what are you gonna do? I'M GONNA BELIEVE THE PROFESSIONAL! I'm so excited. Thanks to her, I've also taken better care of my physical health and gotten a new hobby. Chef Gleason is lively and so understanding. I don't know what's more fun, her class or her stories (I love both). Thanks to her, I focus on taking care of my mental health. Chef Sams talks to me like I'm the sweetest person she's ever met and it makes me feel like a good person and like I want to grow that kind part of myself. Thanks to her, Im healing my emotional health. Plus, she's a hoot. I dream about bread thanks to her class. Then, there's the culinary side. Chef Cunha is the reason I fell in love with the culinary in the first place. To be honest, I was only going to take a class or 2, but now I'm full blown IN THIS. This has been the best time of my life. I'm beyond grateful to all my Chef Instructors. It wouldn't be the program that it is, if you all weren't teaching.

I took classes here online for restaurant/hospitality management in 2022/23. After one semester, they told me my course had changed and that I had to pay 900/month out of pocket. When asked if my tuition and grant could cover it, they told me no, it had to be totally out of pocket. I recently called to try to figure out my loan because MOHELA says that what's due, is due through Sullivan, showing on THEIR accounts. They LAUGHED at me and said that their accounts for me were totally blank. Truly regret ever, EVER choosing this school. It was a huge waste of money and time, and now my credit score is suffering because of their inability to properly communicate in a timely manner.

My experience at Sullivan University has been one of the most rewarding chapters of my academic journey. From the very beginning to now, as I graduate with my master’s degree and pursue my Ph.D., I have felt supported every step of the way. The professionalism, dedication, and encouragement from the instructors and faculty have been unmatched. I truly believe I would not have made it this far without their guidance. For anyone considering going back to school or just starting out, Sullivan is an excellent choice. With the resources and support available, success is not just possible......it’s expected.
