For a Christian college, they sure are money hungry. The program was disclosed for working nurses, that is not the case. They lied to me through the entire enrollment process. They are the only program on a Master's level that allows Cs, but their grading scale is not adequate. C is a grade considered 84-78. If you find out they lied, well it's too late, because they will take the entire amount of the money and run. If you like constraints, more nurses eating their young, and staff that only cares...

The truth is, since Carson Newman has teamed up with local police, we have found the majority of students being sent behind bars for petty offenses. They need to focus on the lowlifes in the community and leave us alone.! At first, we heard the point of this collaboration was to help protect our campus and keep it stable. Instead, I have seen over 10 of my friends have to go to jail over BASIC offenses when this should not be happening to students. There should be a respect for a student who pays... Read More over 30,000 to go here instead of just throwing us in jail. The campus is a lot more harsh and less delightful than it used to be when I started in 2013. You literally cannot go anywhere on campus without staring at your speed in hopes you aren't "going to slow" or "going to fast" because you WILL be pulled over. The security department is simply getting out of hand and instead of making us feel safe we actually feel like we have to walk on our tippy toes. No one is perfect and students will make mistakes! We are now dealing with a campus where most students will leave with a misdemeanor criminal record. No one has to believe me, the proof is in the courtroom. I shadowed the courtroom for my service learning and over 50% of the population was CN students and the offenses were "slap on the wrist" types. The point of a college is to get a degree and we can't pursue or future jobs with criminal records. The police being on and around campus is a TERRIBLE idea. I personally know many students who will not be returning because of it.
