I have just started my class. I am tired of people sending me videos on how to do everything. I got better and more interactions from my previous online experiences. This is by far one of the worst. I asked a simple question to IT and was sent a video on how to get to that area. I understand that this is online but a block of instruction on questions IT could answer in 10 seconds. After these four classes, I'm transferring back to my previous online institution.

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

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.

I am enrolled in the Cybersecurity Bachelors Program and what they don’t show you on there website that you have to take an interdisciplinary course that has nothing to do with your major. They say it’s a requirement but seeing that there are only two courses to choose from, worst options I have ever seen, and what’s worse the points are unevenly distributed and the final projects are worth half of the courses grade. Basically the course is rigged against you. I signed up for cybersecurity not a business major.

I just started but, already thinking about switching schools. I am going for my Master's and my first course one of the professor's was too much. Everyone has a life and she takes her role way too far. I have only had two professor's like that in the past. But I think it is bullshit that you cannot withdraw in the fourth week. You do not really know how a professor will be until about the 4th week. Such bullshit.

In the spring of 2024, I received a call from the financial aid office about my aid. The financial aid rep and I did everything over the phone-renewed my loan info to pay the complete cost of terms without having any refunds coming back to me. I finished the 2024 year. At the start of 2025, I go to register for classes and my account was on hold. I had a balance over $3k. They had billed me for 8 months. How could this be when I completed everything. I called the financial aid and was told they tried to contact me bs. There wasn't even a notification on my personalized webpage. Im on the school site damn near all day and Im constantly checking financial aid for grants and scholarships and never once saw any notifications. No one contacted me via phone email or virtually. So SNHU is expecting the balance to be around $500 before I can get back into classes.I feel like this is a scam and the worst accountability. I really like this school. The classes were great and I really was anticipating getting my degree finally. Thanks for nothing snhu

Compared to other Universities SNHU is sub-par For context, college is not new to me. I've been a stellar student with academic honors throughout. I earned a B.A in 2008 after high school from an on campus university. I finished a second Bachelor's degree in 2016 from a state college that was both online/campus learning. I completed my online Master's degree in 2024 from SNHU. I'm 39 years old and have spent many years as a student in higher education across various universities, both big and small, online and off-campus. I can confidently say that SNHU is sub-par. There are very few instructors that show a genuine interest in teaching, but it is clear that majority of instructors for online programs are adjunct instructors who are only 'teaching' to earn a passive paycheck. I fear this school is becoming nothing more than a diploma factory where revenue is more important to SNHU than providing a quality education.

Advisors will enroll you in the wrong classes for months, then when you're behind because of that, Finance will rope you into a misleading payment plan. Professors were fine but I wouldn't trust anything behind the scenes.
