REVIEWS
Read What Students Are SayingI enjoy the teachers I have here. They take time to explain, answer your questions, and assist you. I made excellent grades this semester and look forward to the Spring 2013 semester.
Love my education!
I absolutely love Faulkner. The Faculty and staff is very helpful and caring. I highly recommend this school to anyone.
Alexandra Howard from Mc Intosh, AL
The price for classes is amazing compared to other schools and quality of the classes isn't lowered. Personal and friendly instructors offer help along with expectations of a large university. I expected no social college life but there is probably more of a variety of friends, people right out of high school or people going back for higher education can be seen in all of your classes on all 3 campuses along with many activities to be active in.
