All the professors seemed very knowledgeable and are dedicated to their work. They have a passions for helping students grow.
Hannah from Auburn, MA
I know I will grow in Christ a lot here. The professors, students, and counselors all seem really educated.
Savannah from LaBelle, FL
I truly enjoy going to class everyday; the professors use many tools for teaching and are very helpful if you do not understand something. They definitely don't just throw up a PowerPoint presentation and read from it word for word.
Daphne from Lakeland, FL
Each class a student takes at Southeastern is designed to cater to all the learning styles so no student is left in the dark.
Bethany from Lakeland, FL

Derek from Sebring, FL
Southeastern University is AWESOME! I love the beauty and peaceful atmosphere of the campus. The students and staff are extremely nice and helpful.
Hannah from Clewiston, FL
I sat in on a US History class while I visited for Preview Days. The professor opened up class with a prayer. I really loved that. His lecture was excellent! I learned things about Thomas Jefferson that I would never have learned in another class. It was very interesting; he kept the class fun.
Josie from Spring Hill, TN
Southeastern has an incredible staff of teachers, coaches, and advisors. The courses taught really help prepare the students for what they want to do after graduation. There is a lot of school spirit and activities.
Lydia from Zephyrhills, FL
Southeastern University is an enriching atmosphere, they focus on the person as a whole, not just one aspect. The professors who work there, are there only because they love young people and want to see them succeed. There is something there for everyone!
