If anyone was wronged and is in debt relating to Keiser University, please email me. I am a former Counselor and I can help you!

I have to seriously object to what these institutions are doing to students today, both the schools and the medical facilities and there lying doctors...my wife signed up for the medical assistant classes at Keiser U in orlando...you know medical assistant the position that is sweeping the country right now!..."yeah right!!!" she completed this course with top honors a 3.8 GPA finish with flying colors..at this point we believed like many that we were on our way...oh boy to our surprise..my wife leaves her job of couse... because they require you to take there externship for two FREE month's, now like many out there believe if you prove yourself somehow and you do everything correct you will be hired on the spot by theses clinics or hospital..well don't you believe it, the first clinic my wife was sent to was one in winter park privately owned, they took my wife in and practically told her they may have a position, but as the training went by my wife noticed they weren't teaching her much and current employees were threaten by her presence there thinking she was there to take there job or something...my wife called keiser they said ok finish there then we will send you somewhere else...when she finished there, she was literally interviewed by a doctor on Alafaya trail next to UCF...he told the school he had positions availiable..so my wife goes we are excited he saids she was a fast learner bla..bla..bla...he was going to teach her everything in his clinic well the month went by and when the wifey finished the doctor told her...that he was not that busy and that he can call her to come in sometime...this was a shock...i mean where is the protection for students...doctors are clearly lying to schools to get free labored help in there clinics, and schools are not exposing these schools and saying to them please don't waste our time if your not going to properly teach and seriously offer a job to at least one of our graduates...
someone is benefiting from this fiasco, the school the doctors etc...not the student!...there are medical assistance out there working in walmarts, and other places other than M.A. this is dangerous, many can forget what they have done and really make mistakes in the field...but that's not all...the Medical facilities with all there wisdom and support...throw ads saying they want M.A.'s with degrees, certification which the schools gives you 4 months after you've completed your extership if they don't screw up and leave you out the list like they did my wife recently, but anyway some of these clinics are asking two, and now three years of experience...because they know that the gov't is going mad crazy and giving hundreds of minorities loans for this field by the boat loads...yeah...you want to get in on the action...not if they can help it...these vo-tech schools are suppose to study the markets...offering what is hot and staying away with what is not...M.A.'s is NOT!...but they continue to issue loans at record pace to students knowing real well they have old students not being hired in the field especially with six other colleges offering the the same classes with large amounts of students...i mean the jobs are not there...to me that is fraudulant and misleading...no one should have to graduate from a school with high honors to be rejected and told they have no experience...and be stuck with a loan of $25 grand or more and un-employed, the school must protect old and new students from these lying doctors and private clinics, and bust there asses to assist in getting jobs for there students, instead of loans to study a dead end field not grabbing there half of the gov't check and leave you out there to burn by yourself, they tell her keep sending resumes, resumes, after resumes...but still nothing only the next group of M.A.'s going to the same doctors who tell the school send me more students please we need more free slaves..."i mean"... more potential keiser students..lol...man what a waste of time and money that was!...Keiser please step up and help these students and stop wasting there time!

I hope that people read this!! I went to Keiser for a little over a year and had to stop attending because of personal reasons. The teachers there seemed really nice and probably really knew what they were doing and cared but as far as the rest of the school goes I think they are commisioned based and tell you whatever it is they have to to get you to sign up for their school. When I first started there I was told that I couldn't get financial aid so I said that was ok but stressed the fact that I didn't want a student loan. The person whom which I was speaking to said that was not a problem but that I would have to pay $600 per month I said that was fine and agreed to pay that ammount. Everything went well, or so I thought so I signed up for year two. This time they said that I could get aid and that my payments would be around $50 I said again that I didn't want a student loan and again was told that was fine. About 3 months in I started having problems and had to withdraw. I was told that they would send me a letter showing the remainder of my financial obligations towards them, which i never recieved. About 4 months ago FMS started calling me non stop about the $3000 I owed Keiser university and I also have a $10, 000 student loan to pay for the year and a half that I attended there so basically for the ammount of time I went to school there they charged over $20, 000. The education that you get there is not worth that kind of money and now I am stuck with a student loan that I specifically said I didn't want. If anyone out there knows what I can do about this please let me know it would be much appreciated! For those of you who are considering going there I can't tell you not to but just think about it first it as a lot of money for a second rate education!!

I was not aware of the prior complaints in regards to their financial practices, but was referred to this school by an on-line financial aid service. I consider myself fortunate not to have gotten involved with this school, but that was only due to the requirements of their nursing program.

Apparently, they do not accept credit from any other higher learning of institution for their nursing program, whether from a school here in Florida or elsewhere. They have both a two-year and a four-year program in nursing and you are required to take all of your courses there. Of course, I found that to be totally unacceptable. I have NEVER heard of a school that did not accept ANY college level credits from another accredited school. It sounds like they are more interested in making money than anything else and forcing you to pay for classes you really do not need.

The only other place I have heard about that is bad in terms of not being about to get money back on tuition is SCTI in Sarasota, but that's another story.

Goes to prove - don't waste your time and money on private schools. Go to well known, well established state schools instead, even if they are out of state.

I don't know if you will find many students with good experiences but I am sure you will find a path of financial destruction to the majority of students. Finding an attorney that is experienced with this type of litigation may be a problem since I am sure Keiser possesses a strong legal department to pull off this scam and if you connect the dots you will find the owners have several political connections. jbvnd, the beauty of their scam is they do not defraud the lenders because if you do not complete the semester they return the monies to the lender and bill you direct. Unfortunately, contacting you local representative is a waste of time since they donate monies to their campaign election. We could try applying the RICO Act which addresses their activity.
