I am currently an online student, and am approaching the end of my BSN program. To say that this…read morefacility and faculty has been helpful would be an understatement. I do not know why there are so many who've had bad experiences, I can only speak to my own. Yes, ONCE I did wait on hold for a long time, but mostly I was on hold for only a few minutes. The nursing classes are offered by Chamberlain, the non-nursing classes are offered by DeVry. In both cases, the content was appropriate and challenging, yet not hard to manage. I originally graduated with an ADN 27 years ago from a state university. There was no problem getting my transcripts. I received numerous phone calls from advisors and was offered guidance for my path to the BSN. I have, and will continue to recommend the RN-BSN program to others. I am not saying that those who've written poor reviews are being dishonest, however, I believe that their's was the exception, not the standard. I am saddened that their FNP program is not accepted by NYS, or I'd be taking that as well.

I obtained my MSN at Chamberlain. For the most part, everything was good until my last course of my…read moreMSN. The online compliance department for my practicum was messy. They were not submitting my required documents to my practicum site. The practicum site was going to cancel my rotation. I had to make several phone calls to get them to fix everything. Fast forward, I was enrolled two weeks late into my last 8 week course at this school. I was behind in my clinical hours and I struggled to finish everything. At graduation, I still had a 3.9 GPA and was not recognized for high distinction in front of my guests, however it states this on my degree. The financial aid department is a hot mess as well. I'm attempting to complete the FNP, and they are not applying my government aid correctly. They are applying reimbursement amounts to future courses that do not start for 3 more weeks. I have been receiving reimbursement checks for over two years now and the amount of my aid has not changed on my FAFSA. I am unable to purchase books or supplies for my courses. Several phone calls have been completed, emails sent and now I am just being ignored after being told that my reimbursement check was incorrectly applied to future courses. Markie, Finanical aid representative will just ghost you for days, weeks because she cannot figure anything out. The admissions department will ghost you as well after signing you up for the nursing programs. I'm not sure if these departments are under staffed but this college charges $740 PER CREDIT HOUR and this is how they treat their students. There is no management in which I can speak to. I have tried and have been denied several attempts to escalate this situation to a manager in financial aid. I have had to resort to filing a formal complaint with FAFSA for improper posting of government funds, not abiding by federal government disbursement to students, and denying communication efforts to fix this problem.

I am coming from the angle of a neighbor...........and Wifey and I are glad they are our neighbor. We love to walk the "campus". We love to use the track. We attend the various outdoor events (jazz concerts etc) and we need to attend one of the indoor event (lectures etc). Fun to watch the teams practice....be it soccer or football or track.

Staff and professors are also very hepful and understanding. Food is good, campus is very nice and classes have been great! I highly recommend attending this university!

DeVry University is Fantastic…read more Pros: Resources: - Skill port: Much like Udemy or SkillShare, DeVry lets you access courses outside of your curriculum for you to learn for those attending DeVry. - Tech Playground: Filled with Several Home Assistant Devices (Google Home, Alexa, Jibo), Unlimited 3d Printing for your class/personal Projects, Nice Cozy Couch (Should be plural), Adjustable lighting, Powerful PCs(includes gaming). Several different kinds of VR headsets. - EBooks: take it anytime, anywhere, any place. No need to carry around heavy back packs. Staff: - Admissions and Student Central: are extremely helpful and friendly. They can assist incoming and current students in a professional manner. - Instructors and Professors: are literally professionals in their perspective fields. I have yet to come across a professor who has background in which they haven't worked in the field. Every Professor I have taken will give you a bit of insight of what you will be dealing with once you hit the workforce. Student-Life: - Work and Study Balance: DeVry semesters are broken into 2 sessions. This allows you to take two classes for 8 weeks each session as opposed to 4 classes for 16 weeks. This will give you the ability to study and focus on the classes you take as opposed to juggling around 4 classes at the same time. At the same time, it will free up your schedule because you will only be dedicating 1-2 days to be in class as opposed to 2-4. - Senior Project: DeVry brings in companies for students to work on projects. Example: O'Hare P Fly with Butch increased Concessions by 30%. - Successful students: John Lohrentz: Won the U.S. Cyber Challenge (USCC) and was invited to the White House. Johnathon Cwick: Finalist for the Timmy Awards for "Best StartUp" for his fundraising platform: ShoppingGives. DeVry University Team at Performics: Won The Best In Show Award against hundreds of submissions across 51 countries. Online Courses: Allows you to take courses online if classes are full. Cons: These are just pet peeves: No dorms? There is an apartment complex not far from here. Work out a deal maybe? Senior Project should not just be for Seniors: I really love the senior project but I wish students can get involved at their Sophomore and Junior Years and work as assistants and testers. This would be a great learning environment for earlier year'd students, give the project managers of the group a bit more of a challenge gauging and balancing the students skills with their workload. There is always a need for testing when it comes to these projects and I think these students would be a perfect fit and it is an actual job in the field. Maybe I am just jealous. Home Alone Online: There should be more incentive to come into the building as opposed to online: Online courses should only be a last resort. When people are here, they communicate more and form bonds; it makes them want to stay enrolled, it also gives them an incentive to graduate. Online is great if you live far away from campus but if you can be here you should be here because it is awesome. Discussion Post: No one likes them, they are a chore as opposed to an assignment, they really do nothing for you. Want students and instructors to communicate together in topics that revolve around the class? Then require every class to have a group project. Students group up, they talk to each other and give each other tasks. If your listening Corporate, here is a challenge - find 1 person that loves the discussion posts. Moving to Virtual and Less Hands-on: I find it EXTREMELY concerning that DeVry might push their classes in which students build PCs and Set up routers, switches, etc. in a computer simulated program as opposed to actually building it physically in real life. I do not think it takes a genius to know and understand that Employers would probably choose someone who actually touched and work with the components physically over someone who has done it through software.

As a student, DeVry had tutoring services to help students and their staff were very good at…read morepromoting their education. They had seniors helping out students in their classes. When I was considering this university, people I highly respected (but never attended their program) believed this is a great university. Their ads speak well of them. I had various former students, who graduated in the 1980s & 1990s who told me they could not get employment after graduating in their field of study and had to change careers / get additional training elsewhere. I learned these issues after graduation. The education in engineering is WORTHLESS because they are not ABET accredited school. In other words, employers ONLY HIRE ABET ACCREDITED GRADUATES. The problem was employment after graduation & student loan policies. I finished a Bachelor's Degree in engineering, BS Computer Engineering Technology in 2014. ADTalem Global Education, dba DeVry University, utilizes The Higher Learning Commission.org to procure student loans. DeVry would max out the student's credit for student loans. The tuition cost is based on their ability to get funding. In the first 2 years as a student, I was a cash paying student. I applied for student loans then dropped out. Unknown to me, they were able to get student loans. Instead of returning the unused funds, they increased my tuition / education costs for previous classes that were paid in full. Accounting education fraud. Their billing is so confusing because they are committing fraud. They sell fake health insurance policies. BEWARE

My kids love going to Mathnasium! Honestly, it's one of the only activities they don't complain…read moreabout attending. They even loved the assessment the very first day, which to me looked like a test! The teachers and director do an amazing job making math fun. My kids love the motivational incentives they can earn, and really work hard for the incentives. There's nothing rote or boring about the way Mathnasium teaches math. Their program has helped my kids learn to think more mathematically. It's not like a typical tutoring program, where my kids do their homework with another adult. I can do that at home! Mathnasim has gotten them excited about math, and able to think at a higher level.

We came to Pro Swim to help him build on this life skill and he ended up being such a good swimmer…read more Very friendly staff and the system to manage your account either on their website or mobile app made it convenient to schedule classes and make ups. Prior to Pro Swim, we tried several different park district programs that we felt just didn't give him the attention he needed in order to get the most learning experience out of the class. We felt like he spent a lot of time waiting for his turn to practice. We love the structure at Pro Swim and found that even though the overall sessions were shorter he ended up having much more one on one time with an instructor. This is what helped him excel. I can't thank Pro Swim enough for how the run their facility and the structure they have in place that helped my son learn how to be a proficient swimmer. It has always been a pleasant experience whenever we've went there and now my son is teaching me how to swim.

My only wish that if there would be a weekday option then it would be great.

My daughter recently performed in her first School of Rock "gig" since beginning to take guitar…read morelessons there. I had not seen the SOR bands perform before. Going in to the performance, I keptr my expectations in check for my daughter, both in terms of her comfort of being on stage and her playing ability. My expectations for the performances overall were tempered as well. I think I expected children to miss notes and to get off rhythm occasionally. I was so impressed with how polished the bands actually sounded. They were all playing music I really enjoy, and doing it really well. I'm even more excited to see how my daughter progresses going forward, and I'm legitimately looking forward to future performances, simply for the chance to listen to good music played well. Thank you to administrators and the instructors for making School of Rock fun for my daughter and for obviously doing such a good job teaching the children to play music.

Collin is also very fair at trying to make sure we are treated fairly when it comes to getting fair value for what we pay for by way of rescheduling lessons and/or crediting us to compensate when makeup lessons aren't an option. *Update as of 12/30/2017 I wrote my previous review based on my personal experience with the intention of returning to resume lessons after taking a short hiatus. I was informed 2 nights ago by a friend that School of Rock abruptly ended their adult program without giving the adult students any notice. I still stand by my positive praise for the teachers. They are great. However this sudden move to end a program that many of us enjoyed and looked forward to without warning is disappointing. This move applies to only 3 locations owned by the same owner. Perhaps there are other SOR facilities that are managed more effectively to accommodate the workload?? I will miss going there and miss the instructors. My experiences with the Elmhurst teachers are nothing less than great. My disappointment with the sudden abandonment of the adult program without any notice remains intact.

Cannot recommend Ride Chicago enough! My very precious boy…read morehas wanted to ride a bike for years. At 18 yrs old we finally relented. I don't doubt his skill as he's an excellent car driver. I do doubt all the crazies on the road! And I want my kiddo to last until old man adulthood! So I wanted him to have as much practice as possible from people who truly care. Freddie saw Jay for riding skills / lessons for the last couple of weeks and wow! Not only is my boy hooked but I have a deeper respect for these guys that take their time to take the students seriously. As a Mum who wants her kiddo riding as safe as possible, I thought nothing of multiple lessons and of course the onsite licensing class. Alden in the office was brilliant at working out the scheduling that worked with our crazy calendar and we now have a fully licensed rider who sailed through the test with zero marks taken off. My son will have a break for the winter and I will once again see if Jay can give him a refresher in the late Spring before the season really starts to give my kiddo every success to enjoy his riding! Thank you Ride Chicago! You gave Freddie the world he was hoping to ride in!
