Personally. My experience here was a little lackluster. Tried to enroll in the ABSN program and was under the impression I would be able to be done by 2027. Was informed that I could not take dual enrollment classes like my previous college. No problem! I asked if I could take winter courses at another college to catch up. Was told that wasn’t allowed. Just found out I have a 3k bill for 1 summer class in July. Tried to start a payment plan but the online portal said it’s only for 6 months. Called to see if I could get it extended and was notified I actually only have 3 months to pay a bill I was just notified of. The Bursar response? “We tell everyone to enroll in the payment plan for the summer as soon as summer classes start”. How can I pay a bill I didn’t have until July? It’s unfortunate because the workers seem to be proactive, but the system itself is predatory.

I think the school could be much better. Getting ahold of any instructor/ advisor is hard. You literally have to track them down and harass them for them to respond back . When I finished my classes literally nobody reached out to me I had to reach out to them. They communication is horrible. I always send emails and follow up with voicemails because if not they’ll act like you never reached out .

The LPN program at Goodwin had both positive and negative aspects. The most positive experience was the relationships formed with classmates, and many of the instructors were genuinely supportive and willing to help students succeed.

However, I was part of the first full-time LPN cohort, and the program was extremely challenging due to ongoing organizational issues. There was a high turnover rate among instructors, frequent last-minute changes, and a general lack of communication. Administrative staff often could not provide clear or accurate answers to important questions. We were explicitly told by the head of the nursing program that we were the “guinea pigs” for the program and that any improvements would benefit future cohorts rather than our own.
Despite these challenges, I successfully completed the program. One of the most concerning issues occurred one week before graduation, when we were informed that all outstanding balances had to be paid in full or placed on a payment plan in order for transcripts to be released. One week after graduation, we were then informed that students were responsible for paying to have their transcripts sent, as the university would not cover this cost. I graduated on December 18, 2025, and I am still unable to schedule my NCLEX. Due to delayed communication from the university, my transcript was sent to the state without my clinical hours included. As a result, I remain unable to test and am currently awaiting clarification from Goodwin regarding why my clinical hours were omitted and how they will be sent.
Given that Goodwin offers multiple nursing programs that follow the same state testing process, it is unclear why the LPN program has faced such significant issues. Based on my experience, I would strongly encourage prospective students to consider other options if available.

So far I am having a great experience here! I ESPECIALLY like that when you call , you can actually talk with someone!!!!! Everyone here has been so helpful, registering for clases is so easy , and the advisors are helpful. If you have to send a request for information, they respond fast. This has been the best college experience ive had . Goodwin please keep up the good work!

I hold a bachelors degree from another university so I was interested in getting more information about the ABSN program versus the ASN program. I requested information so many times and finally received 3 duplicate emails from the same admissions counselor of nothing but attachments of FAQ’s, the class list, etc. I replied asking for an appointment and once again have been waiting days even after I sent a follow up email. Do you guys not want students to enroll? I’m asking for information to literally pay you tuition and you guys take 8-9 days to answer an email?
