  • katherine from Fort Myers, FL

    Great campus, and easy to navigate. Everything is new and the school is always expanding. I love the fact that NSU has the only optometry program in the state of Florida, and they also have an accelerated program for their medical school a huge plus! read full review

  • High School Senior from West Boca Raton, FL

    If you live close-by, its great. The immediate area is congested however, and it would take me about 45 min to commute from Boca every day, so I would have to think about living on campus which will only add to my expenses. read full review
