    This school has to be a joke and it's clearly not veteran-friendly. I submitted my application for…read morethe Ph.D. program in Computer Science for the Spring semester. I wasn't requesting any type of funding since my VA education benefits cover my tuition. My goal was simple: to enroll and continue my education. Out of nowhere, I received an email from a professor at 8 a.m., stating I needed to respond by 11 a.m. the same day regarding a potential RA position. Unfortunately, I didn't see the message in time and missed that last-minute deadline. Despite this, the professor mentioned he was still interested in hiring me and encouraged me to reach back out in August for the Fall term. Here's what doesn't make sense: because I missed a same-day response window for a funding opportunity I didn't even request, my entire application for Spring admission was declined and I was told to reapply in the Fall. As a veteran using my earned benefits, this feels completely unfair. I wasn't asking for a handout or financial assistance just the opportunity to pursue my education. If I had known their admissions process worked like this, I would've chosen another school months ago. Veterans deserve better.

    I cannot rate the actual school. I've already completed undergrad and attended grad school at other…read moreuniversities. My rating is solely because I've been on a bunch of campuses for book signings, and it's ALWAYS super complicated to figure out how to get from Point A to Point B (including my own alma maters). I went to this location solely for a Red Cross blood donation drive. I love how their campus is set up. Not only did they have signs on the doors and a cone out front to figure out which building to get into, but as soon as I opened my mouth to ask a student where the building was, I turned and saw a clear map to find it on my own. (I was super close so she pointed me the rest of the way. Friendly young lady.) Since I can no longer find this location in upcoming blood drives, I'm assuming that Red Cross may not be there permanently. But the campus is clean. The front desk people (for the school) were professional. The two students (workers?) who were on the Red Cross side were organized and professional. And the attendees behind the tent were great too. I hope Loyola Rogers Park makes this a permanent thing. Although I walked, it's very convenient that it's accessible by the el. And it was nothing at all like all the complications I experienced at another facility trying to donate plasma. It took me longer to walk to the school than it did for the actual six-minute donation. Kudos to them for allowing Red Cross onto their campus.

    I transferred to Loyola from Occidental College. From the moment I began at Loyola, I felt that the…read moreadministration barely even was aware of my existence. I was not given housing, financial aid, or any support with finding off campus housing near the school. When I started taking classes, I was appalled at the lack of quality among instructors. I had professors who would not show up to class, or would give me assignments that I could see they purchased online, because they hadn't taken out the name of the company or the teacher instructions. With class registration, I found academic advisors often gave me different answers, and it was a genuine challenge to see the same advisor twice. Currently, the course offerings are so slim in my major (business management) that it is hard to select a class schedule where even half of the classes are going towards my major. In summary, this is not a school for finishing your degree quickly or efficiently. It's the kind of institution where you'll have to take a lot of classes that feel pointless and random because they are. And those are the professors who are least likely to actually care about the quality of their instruction. You'll be in a cohort of students who don't seem to really give a damn. Most of my classes are filled with 80-85% of the students on their computers playing NYT games or watching youtube. Most of the classes I have taken have been lecture format, where a professor goes through slides at the front of a silent classroom. I've had many classes with 2 or 3 graded assignments in the entire semester. Most of my Professors don't give any feedback on homework or tests and certainly never return them, and so it's generally pretty difficult to know how to improve. On the student life side, the student body is incredibly cliquey and unwelcoming. After two and a half years at the organization, I know 0 fellow Loyola students by name. I do not recommend transferring here. I really regret it. This school knows how to put lipstick on the pig, but it is far from a premier institution. If you're looking in Chicago, Loyola presents the worst ratio of cost/value of education. Look elsewhere!!

    Bottom line: This is a private college and that means it will cost more. However, with the correct…read moreplanning before attending you can make this school affordable as I have done. Because it's a private school there are more scholarships available. I received the $6,000 a year scholarship for transfer because I came in from a community college with a GPA above 3.0. I worked hard for my grades and applied for as many scholarships I could before attending Columbia. PLAN PLAN PLAN. It's on you because no one else will take care of you. Welcome to being a responsible adult in a world where competition is very high, and you will need to work harder than ever to gain and retain creative jobs. I feel it's very upsetting when students decide to rate this school strictly on price. Our economy is wrong in the first place because an education shouldn't cost this much, but that's not Columbia's fault. Contact your representatives if it upsets you. Every single teacher has been life changing for me and absolutely amazing. Each teacher I have worked with has contributed to my learning and development experience in wonderful ways. Every teacher at Columbia is a professional with amazing "in the field" experience. Many of my teachers are actively working right now in the roles I would someday aspire to also hold. So.... DON'T shoot yourself in the foot with these people because they will most likely play a role in hiring you (it's a small world in the creative field). To gain an education from people like this will cost money. Every working class in my line of study (musical theater) has been like a Rep and Master class= Real work with real experience. Columbia is a great school with tons of student activities. I am set to graduate in May 2017. I took advantage of student meet ups, attending student groups, free food, free concerts and shows, discounts at local restaurants, free gym access, discount tickets, free yoga, and discounts at local yoga studios. I NEED to take advantage of the career center and build a portfolio (I hope to do this in my final semester). But there are so many organizations for students and fun activities. Get involved and get your money's worth because yes it is expensive but Columbia is not the most expensive school by far. With a good solid plan you can make it more affordable. I am a single student that had ZERO help from mom and dad or any family. I was 100% on my own. I knew I couldn't afford Columbia for 4 years so I went to a community college first and worked with the councilor taking transferable classes to meet gen-ed requirements. This is how I made my education more affordable. I worked hard for a high GPA and gained referrals so I could take advantage of scholarships. I only share my story because I read a lot of negative feedback strictly rated around cost. Financial services and the scholarship departments need to become your best friends.

I also have many family members and friends who've gone their for their undergrad or graduate level studies. Legal, business, and the Social Sciences - these are their strengths. Their other strength is the vast DePaul network, especially in the Chicagoland area. Their film school is also making itself known, year after year. Recently, they've tried to make it more affordable to attend the school, through various grants and scholarships. Also, they've done away with the SAT/ACT requirement - I really don't know how that's going to work? Lincoln Park is a great area to dorm and the women's basketball team is a perennial NCAA contender. It's quite pricey so choose your major wisely. Go Blue Demons!!
