I thought as a first time college… I thought as a first time college student this college would be good but I have done 2 classes they cram everything in in four week classes expect you to get everything done but due dates that all are different every time. They say they are flexible but they are not as someone who also has a job they make it so difficult. The fact I have had many bad experience with this university I would say definitely go somewhere else as I am looking to go else where to finish my degree.

Come with basic knowledge of networking and linux I attended this program because it was at an accelerated pace and I wanted to complete as soon as possible. On the downside, there is so much wealth of knowledge out there that it is impossible to cover every basis. I did learn a lot related to wireless, cloud, audits, pentesting, etc. I wish there was a course on digital forensics as well. As with any educational institution, only after graduating, I became aware of what I don't know and what I need to learn on my own moving forward.

Current student I have been attending NU for the past six months. The staff is friendly and helpful. I have enjoyed my professors but find it hard that they do not follow the same class structure. If the curriculum/expectations followed a designated outline, each class would be easier to follow. Highly recommend the monthly semesters, but be prepared to work hard as this program style is accelerated.

My application/interview experience My application/interview experience at National University: The second round interview panel acted like they didn't want to be there, as if they were just going through the motions. They were very non-responsive/nonreactive to my answers to their interview questions until I explicitly asked for feedback toward the end of the interview. I specifically asked how I stack up against other candidates, and a senior executive said point blank that I would be a good diversity hire (I'm a black woman). Long application/interview process (1 month between each step: application > first interview > second interview), with very poor communication/ghosting from both the HR rep and the hiring manager between steps. At the end of the day, I was able to learn more about the role and it prepped me to interview for similar roles at other companies. So that's a silver lining :)

My Experience... When I first registered for classes and during my first couple of classes it was an amazing experience. I loved my professors Dr. Johnson, and Dr. Bazan-Shipp, they were awesome! However, there were a few professors that made my experience drop. It was hard to believe that professors had no idea what was on the Brightspace app. and were given different information making us work on things we shouldn't. Then, finding out that the Praxis exam is a NU requirement and not all universities, I personally think that extra stress added to what we already had is unnecessary. (Sorry, that's how I feel)
