Pros

Nothing to say wrt Pros. It is a sham.

Cons

1) Quality of students is really poor. Most of the students are from India and China who couldn't get into any other university. NPU is a sham/scam and should be investigated more by the Federal Government and accreditation agencies. The setup is worse than a community college where I studied many years ago. 2) Management is extremely poor. Decisions are made and they are not communicated till you hit a roadblock. Then you realize, things were changed and no one told you about it. 3) Students act entitled and ask for unreasonable concessions - end the class 30 min before it is supposed to be over, ask professors to do a makeup midterm because they forgot to study, change the grade even when they fail. List goes on and on.

Pros

Sometimes its a relaxing environment.

Cons

They split your hours in a way that makes you stay there for longer but unable to go home. I got paid for 2 hours once but it was separated with 2 hours of "break" so I ended staying at the school for 6 hours even tho they only payed me for 2. Its not really a career building place if your looking to get your foot into being really anything. If you're expecting them to teach you skills you're out of luck.

Pros

They physically exist! There are actually 4 buildings on the 'campus'.

Cons

This is a typical money making scam under the guise of a 'university'. Able to trick low-end foreign students to join because they dont have the grades to get admitted anywhere else. The accreditation levels barely meet the minimum requirements, and good companies avoid hiring from here. Beyond that, looks good! :)
