Graduation ceremony for my daughter today was fantastic , such a beautiful school . The ceremony was on the field for her December graduation and the presentation was on point to include fireworks, key speakers, a singer as we sang a worship song together, the entire presentation was phenomenal as is her staff and school. I highly recommend SEU~

I am studying Sports Media at this college for the next four years. I love it here, and it's a very lively atmosphere. A bonus is that I'm a member of the Athletic Pep Band in the clarinet section, and I've played at SEU Fire Basketball and Football games. I 100% recommend SEU because the experience that you'll have is going to be an amazing one! I hope that someone will attend this school not because of it's distance from the theme parks, it's because they have a heart to love others and worship our LORD JESUS CHRIST, who loves us as well. You're gonna love it here!

Update 7.25 Finally there and super happy. In the end they are coming through for the Masters Program. Looking forward to parents weekend drop off. More posts to come. Update 7.12.22 I still love this school for my kid but have been less than impressed with my own experience getting into Masters program for Nursing. It's been a rough go with little to no communication. I hope its just because its a new program but a month out from when my daughter starts in fall and still know nothing about my program, what classes, cost or when it starts. I'll post an update when I find out more. I hate lowering my rating but have to due to my experience so far. Amazing campus. I went on a visit for my kid and I want to go. Update 6.17.22 This place is still amazing. My oldest is going there and I decided to do Grad school there. Hope to teach there one day. You want a place thats gonna love your kid and want the best for them. Look no further. We have visited several times before making our choice and its always the same no matter who you talk to. They are about supporting your kid through a Christ centered education. Diverse student population. Many of the staff are past alumni. The list goes on.

My oldest daughter attends SEU and has a great experience. She met her fiancé there, what more can you want. :-) Also, my other daughter was looking at SEU and looking into the possibility of playing soccer. We had the opportunity to meet Coach Skelly and Coach Brendon. They are the real deal. They have an incredible team of girls, great culture, encouraging. They have something special.

One of the finest campuses I've visited. It is described as an resort styled campus. Lakes on two side. More food on campus than I've seen before. Patrolled 24hrs by security with Deputy sheriffs on campus throughout the day and evening.

A simply fabulous institution of God-centered, higher-learning. You should send your kids here. You won't be disappointed.

Very difficult to talk to someone and get a response. Called Financial Aid several times, no answer, so left several messages. Zero Response. If its this bad trying to speak to someone for the enrollment process how much trouble can we except when/If our college age kids attend there ??

The school is great - campus in Lakeland is beautiful and everyone we met was friendly. The Financial Aid office is horrible. My daughter graduated a couple years ago from a satellite school and she just was contacted by a loan company telling her she had student debt. We had no idea! The parent plus loans were discussed and applied for but she didn’t know where the other loans came from or how she applied for them without her knowledge. The total amount is twice what we were quoted. After graduation they didn’t send her diploma because they said she owed a small amount of money. Again, we had no idea - how does this happen? We have called and emailed the financial aid office. They completely ignore emails and don’t seem to have answers when we call or there are different answers depending on who you talk to.

enjoyed my time here - great atmosphere, chapels, professors, and people - SEU wants you to succeed and that's evident downsides: living isn't top tier but doable and security can be a little over the top for no reason sometimes recommend SEU to anyone looking for colleges or grad work

Everyone deserves to know the kind of people that are behind the leadership of the schools…what i do not and cannot believe is the unprofessional-ism from the staff. And especially from the director. I was not admitted to this university …

Beautiful campus, great atmosphere. The Dean and teachers actual care about the students and not just getting money. Both my kids are attending and we have definitely made a great choice.

Homecoming 2021 was amazing! I am so glad that our son decided to attend SEU! What a wholesome place to be. The campus is beautiful, the location is divine and the people are great! I can't wait to come back for another game!!

Getting my doctorate here. Not what I expected. So far so good. A little confusing trying to understand how to submit papers, and their financial aid office is not good at managing the volume of students they have. But it could be worse. So far not amazing. But not awful either.

I studied business marketing here and graduated 2016/17. As a transfer senior, I get there were some complications. That said, it was a nightmare getting classes covered. Classes were dull, mainly because students don't engage much. Most …

It used to be great. I loved it here my first couple of years. Then it turned into Athletics (Football) and not Academics. The ONLY good thing is the Professors that really want to help students both educationally and spiritually. If …

I went here from the spring of 2008 through the fall of 2010, and I loved it! I often at times miss the amazing campus atmosphere there... especially the campus cafe located at the heart of campus. The entire campus is stunningly …

Looking at higher learning institutions for my daughter. So far, the SEU presentation has surpassed all others. This is an excellent Christian school that I have been aware of for 60 years. It is a treat for me to actually see it up and personal with my daughter. I hope she seriously looks at attending this institution.
