Life University is a private university focused on training chiropractors and located in Marietta, Georgia, United States. It was established in 1974 by a chiropractor, Sid E. Williams.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: a 32% graduation rate and 63% freshman retention rate suggest that most students who start here don't finish, which is a serious red flag worth discussing before enrolling. That said, median debt at graduation is a surprisingly low $9,500, and if you're specifically pursuing chiropractic studies, this school has a focused, decades-long track record in that field. Worth considering only if you have a clear path toward chiropractic licensure — otherwise, the completion rates make it hard to recommend.
