Reviews of Shorter University (University)

Daniel Ware

Its okay

Cynthia Kloeter

Hard to even give this place 1 star. My child went here and they put her in Senior level classes her freshman year. We argued and they told us it was correct. Of course she failed not knowing any of the material. Constant issues with financial office and even now years later still claiming she owes money when I was the one paying her college. Totally messed up and should be avoided.

Loved my time there, truly a beautiful campus located in a beautiful city.

My experience in Shorter was wonderful. There are Great Christian atmosphere and kind staffs. Also, I learned a lot from fine faculties.

Why did they steal the swedish flag?

Andrew Storey

Awesome

I attended Shorter's CAPP or adult program and to date it is the most unorganized institution I have ever attended. The administrative staff lacks follow through and an overall knowledge of the way the university system works. They frequently lost documents and miss triaged information that caused delays in scheduling and financial aid processes. I would caution anyone considering attending this university their mission should not be "transforming lives through Christ" but rather "Shorter University, a culture of disappointment." One star given as it was a requirement to post.

Shorter is awesome and very well organized. The faculty and staff are very nice and quickly address any issues that arise. I rate them very high because of experiences I have had at other place cannot compete with the kindness and helpfulness of shorter and all their departments.

School ran by bigots, academics are joke. Better off going to Berry or a state school.

love my school!

I went to Shorter for a year. The school is really expensive for no reason at all. The freshmen dorm was outdated. The cafeteria was once the school church. It looks nice but the food was awful. I got food poisoning twice. Also I was apart of the track and field team. If you're going to run for the school your teammates are going to want to get into your personal life. They're going to tell you your going to hell if you are not religious at all. Also expected hypocritical actions. One minute they are you friend and the next they hate you for being an individual. The only good thing about this place were my roommates and some friends. The small to medium class environment was great.

If I could give this place 0 stars I definitely would. it’s extremley expensive for no reason whatsoever. Everything is basically outdated and if you plan on living on campus expect the food to be disgusting. They will feed you leftovers yes LEFTOVERS. DONT’ COME HERE DON’T MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE I DID, you’re much better off going to a cheaper public college. Also the orientation staff are brainwashed, they definitely must be. The professors are ok, some will want to help you and then others won’t give a single f**ck about you or your academics. Also don’t take Old Testament or the New Testament they will throw you in this class which will be a complete waste of your time because if you end up transferring that credit won’t transfer.

Great people. Campus and sports needs some love and a couple million though.

Brandon Ard

Outdated forms, awful food, orientation staff must be brainwashed...I would rather attend Alcatraz

Shorter is a horrendous experience. Before Dowless took over, perhaps it was a better experience for some people. However, if you are thinking of attending this school sometime in the near future I beg of you to look elsewhere. They will allegedly be going bankrupt soon, and I believe that 100%. The staff is unorganized and Dowless and Humphries are the most incompetent human beings I've ever been in contact with in my entire life. If you are a Christian, you will soon recognize that the people that love Shorter and the people that run Shorter are very, very similar to the Pharisees and the Sadducees. There were cases where RA's were caught drinking on campus and in their rooms (this is not allowed) but due to the fact that they were big buddies with the staff, they were allowed to keep their jobs and face zero consequences. Others that were caught doing these things were fined or lost their jobs. It's a highly politicized environment. They like to lecture incoming and outgoing students on upholding Christian values when everything they are based on is a lie. They would always claim fees were due when they were paid and many things with money were always messed up. Whenever the staff messed up (which was always, whether it be online or at the actual school. I attended online and on campus) they would always make excuses or try to act like I was less of a Christian because "our staff are humans and make mistakes." This was a textbook response every time they made a mistake regarding money, classes, or anything else that affected my life. Bottom line: If you are trying to attend Shorter, you're better off going to a state school and getting involved with a Christian group and church there. You will save money and perhaps find people who are humble and Christlike. These people act as though they saved themselves from hell and can do no wrong. As soon as you meet Dowless and Humphries if you have spiritual discernment you can sense the evil and slimy way they speak and act. Good luck to whoever is reading this. If you go to Shorter, you'll need it.

Marion Greene

A thugged out university that turns a blind eye to conservative student leaders and female campus safety officers being harassed by a rogue minority vp. Utterly pathetic. If you are a conservative Christian parent I would strongly recommend against sending your son or daughter here.

Craig Cardell

Great experience at Shorter. The faculty has been more than helpful every step of the way. Not sure why other reviews complain that staff is not "open-minded" or "free thinking". I've had no issues. It is a Christian College based on biblical principles; so you may need to keep that in mind when applying.

This school is outdated, discriminatory and needs to seriously reevaulate its "christian principles" not to mention its overpriced and lackluster educational style.

Ash Ley

The school is extremely expensive and the teachers are terrible. The student money you’re suppose to get back they will take most of it and give b.s reasons why you aren’t getting your full refund. They also, charged me for a semester I wasn’t even signed up for. They “sent” my loan money back and said I have to pay them $3000. I have talked to several ppl who would not help or fix the issue even when I have emails showing I wasn’t signed up for any classes and was told everything would be fine. They don’t even deserve one star honestly!!

Sarah Brown

I love this college for its beautiful campus, friendly staff & students and their Christian views. You don't always run across a college like Shorter

Chris Terry

Ok we had to come here for my daughter's testing and all I can say it's a mess we could not find the building she had to be in so we ask staff we were told to ask our teacher. What? Told her why we were here and then she told us to ask some one else so we did that lead to another finally found where we needed to be. Then latter my wife fell down some steps that are busted (note most steps out side are busted) it was 5 yes 5 people latter for us to get a med kit to clean the lose gravel out of her hand we had to go to the presidents office to get any thing to help. This is a university I laugh more like an out of date unkempt, dirty, nursing home. I would NOT send my kids even if they paid me. Even to the point the grounds are not kept up this place really is this bad.
