Campbell University

Let me start by outlining that I am a Fort Bragg student, so I cannot speak to the main campus experience. I suppose Campbell is not too different from other Universities. They are always going to hit you with a fee for this and a fee for that. Book program you pay for even if you don't use it.

If you attend Campbell get ready for the typical arrogant academia type culture. I say this coming from being active duty taking classes at night. The general attitude toward students with any grievance is a too bad so sad.

There have been several gripes over the years but there was one that finally put me over the edge. Finally made me mad enough to take to the internet. Several days before the start of Spring semester starts, my final science class, degree requirement and prerequisite for PA school was cancelled. This left me scrambling last minute to get into a class so I could at least graduate. This still leaves me now needing to go back and take the original class after graduating.

Basically, the professor was not willing to teach less than X amount or it was not cost effective below X number of students. Either way it is now the student's problem so good luck.

If you are somehow reading this before starting at Campbell, Fort Bragg you are ahead of the game. If you want to deal with the BS and grind it out, then just remember this review when they do you dirty.

4th Year Male -- Class 1922

Collaboration/Competitive: A+, Scholastic Success: F

I came to Campbell because of the home feeling it provided. I came in as a nursing major and from the start it felt as though they only wanted certain people and discouraged people from applying. I made it into the program and barely passed the first year. I reached out to my professors begging for help and I was told to either fix myself or I would be kicked out. now in my second year, I am loaded with busy work and given tests that are way beyond what we are taught in class. on the topic of teaching, our professors have tests that are made from other professors -- tests aren't even made by the same teacher that teaches the class so most of us fail and we get told to "do better". when asking for instruction on how to change to become successful, we are told "I don't know what to tell you". we have NO access to tutors or any support system, we are kicked while we are down and the professors definitely are bias and love boys and students who kiss their tail. this program is ineffective, communication sucks, structure and teaching is beyond unacceptable, and the professors are unsupportive and highly discouraging. I was on the Dean's list and President's list my first two years at CU and now I am barely holding on to my scholarship. In the handbook, it states that the mission of the CPHS program is to support and lead their students to be successful, yet they laugh when we fail our tests and provide no resources to help us improve. I'm sorry but if you can't adapt to your students learning styles and provide good resources to improve their grades -- that professor is not qualified to be teaching. nursing school is already hard as is, I dont need my professors not caring on top of that.
