What do you like most?

Honestly, nothing. I would say the location but I hardly have time to enjoy it with the curriculum and scheduling

What do you like least?

Definitely administration. I think their ultimate goal is to make NSU optometry students as miserable as possible. Curriculum is dense, scheduling is relentless, and administration truly has no care for any of its students. Any suggestions to improve scheduling, curriculum, student experience, etc. are met with constant push back. They consider the student body to be “complainers” and they have made it clear they do not care about our thoughts on our own education. As someone who deliberated long and hard about which optometry school to attend, and who pays a lot of money to be here, I am extremely disappointed in my choice. I feel constantly defeated and frustrated with administration and am counting the days until graduation. However, with the schools rapidly declining boards pass rates, I still have a lot of bullshit to get through. If you are struggling to decide which optometry school is best for you, please take my advice, and choose a different school. I truly do not recommend Nova and believe you will become a better doctor elsewhere.
