National University Reviews
1 Review Submitted For National University
- Reviewed on: March 25, 2012
Flag Review - Rating:
- The level of training you receive here is not of a very high quality. They make enrollment easy so you can get in, but then when you are here, the training and help you receive may not prepare you for what you want to do.
