I'm an alumni, and what can I say, Endeavour was a nightmare of a higher education provider from the get go. The entire time I was at Endeavour I felt like I was a pile of profit to them. Tutors and coordinators made assessments and clinic practicums unnecessarily difficult, and both myself and other students experienced bullying. There was inconsistency in marking and favouritism which is incredibly unprofessional. It was not uncommon to find students in tears. The infrastructure and amenities of the Melbourne campus are run down and desperately need an uplift - mould everywhere and crumbling bathrooms. Endeavour throws all their money at advertising for new students through glamourous open days, bright graphic advertisements all over the internet, and paid celebrity ambassadors; but as soon as you sign the dotted line and the fee-help gravy train comes rolling in - they couldn't care less about you or your student experience. My favourite phrase from another peer was: 'Bachelor of stress and misery', which was so surprising from an institution that preaches health and wellbeing. Having studied at a prestigious Australian University before I went to Endeavour college means that I'm uniquely able to comment on the quality of the teaching - it is almost as if Endeavour has a chip on it's shoulder and they make assessments harder than they need to be, and ambiguous to complete. Supervisors are reluctant to impart information as well, which was so disappointing as students are there to learn. Perhaps they feel threatened by the new generation of practitioners? God forbid you need an extension too, I was once told by a lecturer that I couldn't possibly be unwell for a week. I still retain that email. And that was the first and last time I applied for one. I refused to fill out their graduate survey so that my initiative in being successful after graduating wouldn't help attract any more students and more $$$ - no way would I help them gain any more exposure. Steer clear - seek another provider such as SSNT. Or better yet, consider whether a ~$70k study debt is even worth it for an already overly saturated industry where the average income is $42k/year.
