2 advisors i dealt with are great. But as long as you can pay you are good. No help if you can't pay whether you have finished or not

Everyone has different experiences at SNHU
I personally had a positive experience at SNHU, and now I’m getting recruited for roles offering $50–80K more annually, so I really can’t complain. Yes, there’s a lot of self‑teaching, but that actually strengthened my confidence, grit, and independence — it made me a better researcher and someone who trusts their own abilities. My financial aid experience was smooth, my academic advisor was great, and about 90% of my professors were decent, supportive people who offered help, gave thoughtful feedback, and were honest when a paper needed more substance or when it was strong.
SNHU is accredited, affordable, and definitely writing‑heavy, but I thrive in asynchronous environments because they give me time to reflect, evaluate, and research — you just have to be willing to put in the work. And honestly, if you look up reviews for any school, even Ivy League universities like Columbia, Harvard, UPenn, or big state schools like Rutgers, you’ll find negative comments. So I take everything online with a grain of salt because every student’s experience is different.

So glad I jumped ship
So glad I jumped ship before fully enrolling. They gave me the run around about financial aid, told me to fill out FASFA for the incorrect year, then acted like I was the one who needed to be “reviewed” for financial aid. Their tuition goes up HUNDREDS every semester. No thanks.

They help a lot of slow learning disability
The school I finished in, most people gave up on going to school. I give it a 10 out of 10. They truly help you with your special needs, and with your primary doctor's help, you can succeed. Google reviews are 3.7, and on Niche they are 4.4. The people who truly think it's a scam give up halfway; it is a non-profit school. They have it on campus and in hybrid classes. I got my BA. Now let me clear up what the school does. If you have trouble with special education, this is a perfect school for you because it has accommodations for you and you can call their OAC in the special education department. If you are in class and you are having trouble because of your special education, then this is the best school for you, doing hybrid and on-campus labs. If you are working from 9am to 5pm M-S, this is the best school for you. If you learn things that on campus aren't your way of learning, such as trouble with lectures, and you need help, this school will help you with that. There is a lot of research, just like many other schools. Do you even know no matter what school you finished at, you still have to get your work license in the field you're in? Also, I was introduced by my famous friends on TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube, and whoever gives my school a poor rating is because they didn't do it here; maybe other schools are not here. Price it the same amount as you were going to school here in California or any other state. What matters is what you can do with your passion and how you can truly love your passion.
Tieng Viet: Nếu bạn gặp khó khăn trong việc học tập đặc biệt, đây là trường học hoàn hảo dành cho bạn vì trường có các chương trình hỗ trợ phù hợp và bạn có thể liên hệ với bộ phận hỗ trợ sinh viên (OAC) thuộc khoa giáo dục đặc biệt. Nếu bạn đang gặp khó khăn trong lớp học do vấn đề học tập đặc biệt, thì đây là trường tốt nhất dành cho bạn, với hình thức học kết hợp giữa trực tuyến và thực hành tại trường. Nếu bạn làm việc từ 9 giờ sáng đến 5 giờ chiều từ thứ Hai đến thứ Bảy, đây cũng là trường phù hợp nhất. Nếu bạn gặp khó khăn với phương pháp học truyền thống tại trường, chẳng hạn như khó tiếp thu bài giảng, và cần sự giúp đỡ, trường này sẽ hỗ trợ bạn. Có rất nhiều nghiên cứu được thực hiện tại trường, giống như nhiều trường khác. Bạn có biết rằng dù tốt nghiệp trường nào đi nữa, bạn vẫn phải lấy giấy phép hành nghề trong lĩnh vực của mình không? Ngoài ra, tôi được giới thiệu trường này bởi những người bạn nổi tiếng trên TikTok, Instagram và YouTube, và những người đánh giá thấp trường này có lẽ là vì họ không học ở đây; có thể các trường khác không tốt bằng. Học phí cũng tương đương với việc học ở California hoặc bất kỳ tiểu bang nào khác. Điều quan trọng là bạn có thể làm gì với niềm đam mê của mình và làm thế nào để thực sự yêu thích niềm đam mê đó.

如果你喺特殊教育方面有問題,呢間學校係你嘅完美選擇,因為佢有住宿畀你,你可以打電話去佢哋喺特殊教育部門嘅 OAC 。如果你上緊堂,而你因為你嘅特殊教育而遇到麻煩,噉呢間就係你最好嘅學校,做混合同校內實驗室。如果你係由上晝九點至下晝五點 M-S 做嘢,呢間係你最好嘅學校。如果你喺校園學到啲唔係你學習方式嘅嘢,例如講座有問題,而你需要幫助,呢間學校會幫你解決。有好多研究,就好似好多其他學校噉。你知唔知無論你喺邊間學校讀完,你都仲要攞你所在領域嘅工作牌照?同埋,我喺 TikTok 、 Instagram 同 YouTube 上面由我啲出名嘅朋友介紹,而邊個畀我間學校差嘅評分係因為佢哋喺呢度冇做過;可能其他學校唔係呢度。價錢同你喺呢度加州或者任何其他州返學嘅價錢一樣。重要嘅係你可以用你嘅激情去做啲咩,同埋你點樣可以真正愛你嘅激情。

Just another FRAUDSTER "non-profit"…
Just another FRAUDSTER "non-profit" that needs to be dismantled! Total scumbags and have no problem working with cyber thieves and stealing hard working Americans identity for these libtards to play pretend as if they accomplished something in life. If you can count to 10, you can also get a "bachelor's degree" at SNHU. They have a scam working with Edfinancial as well. I have obtained an attorney and will do whatever it takes to shut this fraudulent POS institution down and expose them!

Admissions May Be Rough
Unfavorable. Admission to this school was not the best. I had to get transcripts a couple times- then had to send proof that they had them. Took forever to understand the transfer credits. They allow transferring up to 90 credits, but they put me at 87 when I know I should have topped out at 90. Still required 30 credits through their organization despite being at the end of a BS Psych program with another college (6 classes/18 credits). SNHU was just cheaper. My overall experience was one of uncertainty. If they can't even get any of the admission information right, without me intervening and doing the work, what can I expect from the school itself. Not comfortable with their description of accreditation either. Polite pass.

Southern New Hampshire University has…
Southern New Hampshire University has been a good option for me as an online student, especially because of its flexibility. The online format makes it possible to balance school with life responsibilities, which is extremely important for non-traditional students. The courses are structured and clear, and most instructors are responsive and supportive. I appreciate that assignment and expectations are outlined upfront, which helps with time management. Academic advisors are generally helpful and easy to reach when need guidance or have questions about your degree path That said, online learning does require strong self-discipline. SNHU is a solid choice for students who need flexibility, affordability, and accredited online program. If you are self- motivated and comfortable learning online, it can be a very good experience.

I have been trying for over a year now…
I have been trying for over a year now to get this University to remove 2 student loans that they allowed someone to open using my information. They have yet to comply with the request. And they refuse to talk to my Attorney. This schools never checks the identity of its students. Do not trust them
