Estácio (reviews)

The university itself has issues with administration and resolving student problems, but the professors are quite dedicated and helpful. Overall, the experience was complicated in some respects and functional in others.

I had two separate experiences studying at Estácio, studying two different courses in the IT field, both fully online. While the programme was cheap and very easy to adapt to, I felt like it was lackluster in some aspects. Some of the material felt old and not as up to par to modern standards, while support from professors was odd given none of the material was made by them. I had to sort some things out in person and it went relatively well, but given the nature of both of my courses, I’d wish online had been more than enough.

I studied at Estácio and honestly, I didn’t like the experience. As an online student, I often felt left on my own. It felt like there wasn’t much support from the professors, and when I needed guidance, things were not always clear.

The course could be better organized too. Sometimes it was confusing to know what to study, what was important, or even how some activities worked. For a distance learning course, I expected more structure and better communication.

What bothered me the most was feeling like online students were not really taken seriously. Studying online already requires more discipline, so having poor support only makes everything harder.

Overall, I expected more from Estácio. It wasn’t the worst thing ever, but it definitely could be much better.

It was an incredible experience for my professional and personal growth. Although I didn’t feel fully prepared for the job market, it certainly contributed to a successful entry and my ongoing development.
