It pains me to write this review. I was brought up by a "letter writer," but I feel compelled to…read morewarn my peers. This program has been a nightmare. The entire cohort has been miserable. There are continual conflicts in information. Professors talk to the students (mostly at least mid-life age of students) as though they are middle school students. There is an email every two weeks that goes out stating that you have not attended class--accusations of academic misconduct (for telling a child not to enter the room during an exam). Proven by monitor and proctor, that was all that was said. It is very emotionally exhausting. AI is a better option for a 100% virtual experience. I taught in higher education at a prestigious School of Nursing and have a great frame of reference. Most of us have 2-3 degrees from traditional in-person schools and have been successful in our healthcare profession for decades. I will not bore you with details of my experience; I would say do your due diligence. This post-grad FNP program was super expensive, and the experience has been a nightmare, for lack of a better term. I despise putting this negative energy in the world, but please know you have been warned. The gap in providers will only continue to worsen. Nurses are eating young and old:( I have receipts... D

I've visited NEIU a couple times, driven by many a time since I lived about there miles away. It's…read morenicely compact for a university and it's nice that there's one on this side of the city since it can be hard or long to get to some of the others. NEIU is the university in the city that people forget about. I haven't been a student here, but I came for a training session. It was held on a Friday so it's possible that is why, but the parking was wide open the entire day. But what is annoying beyond measure is that in 2024 the school requires you to go into the parking office (which is near the public safety office, if you need to know) to purchase a hangtag permit. And if it's not bad enough that they don't have a pay box or app or something for this task, they only take cash. I happened to have cash on this visit--but that is exceedingly rare for me. And nope, no ATM in the office or maybe even nearby since the guy didn't point me to one. The other thing that surprised me is that whatever department is in charge of external events/ meetings is somewhat disorganized, because they hadn't told the organizers of the training where said training would be held until I asked the day before the event. That seems like a pretty basic thing for whatever department manages these things to let people know what room they're going to be in. They have some nice facilities, probably especially their less than five year old dorms. NEIU is a public university so the tuition will be more affordable than a lot of other universities around. They have a Cafe Descartes in their student center, which I hadn't heard of before but of which I am now a fan. They also host most of the Chicago Film Society events; I've been here for a few of them and they have nice facilities for the screenings.

nice classes, but some professors really are no help at all. its more of a commuter school so there…read moreare not that many events on or off campus so its boring. No sports teams either, just clubs. Don't recommend to stay at the nest as you have to pay for laundry room and the Desk Assistants/RA's are mean people who are two-faced. From experience one was talking about my dormmates (all 4 girls) negatively, to our faces sometimes too. I was charged almost $500 for the paint "damages" although it was small things due to my lights and posters. I painted over them as well before leaving. The rest of the staff (janitors/maintenance) are overall nice people.

They are very strict and have an exam average of 81%; however they only enforce it for some students and not all. This is a great school for whites and Asians not black or hispanic friendly those students fail out the program a lot. Consider going to ELMHURST, ROSALIND FRANKLIN, OR MARQUETTE. You have been warned I have seen people travel far and wide from all over the country to flunk out. The DEMSN program is a pure scam I got kicked out and was on the border of my exam grade with an 80% do not go here its stressful and for white people.

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.

If I had to pick between being a crack whore and a student at this place, selling myself for crack…read morewould be a much better venture. As a student at this hell-hole, I not only found out why this school gets bad reviews from former students and graduates, but realized how poor of an education I received. The good reviews here are paid people hired by the campus to give it good ratings and paint a rosy picture of what a mess this school is. Just to be concise here are the main reasons: 1. All the homeworks and study guides given do not help with the tests or exams given. 2. The teachers are so disorganized and when we point out why we don't do well at their exams we are blamed for not studying and working hard enough. 3. The main coordinators of the Med Surg and pharmacology classes are in such good standings with the Dean, that any flaws (major ones like a majority of their students not passing the NCLEX) are brushed aside. They will never face any consequences for they are infallible to the Dean. 4. The graduates of this school have very poor success rate in passing the NCLEX exams (look up Illinois license for nurses accreditation) 5. Not a lot of learning happens in this school because we are given very little time to between the lectures given and the periods of time the exams are given to us. 6. Our grades and our exams suspiciously change either for the worse or for the better. And when we inquire why this is so, we are not given any answers. 7. They don't give us back our tests so we don't know why we did so poorly or so well on the exams. They don't give it back mainly because the teachers are so lazy to make a new exam so that it would not be copied by a former student and be used for the next class. 8. They take pleasure in seeing us fail because they make more money if we take a class twice rather than taking it once. 9. Very low NCLEX passing scores. 10. On probation from the Illinois Accreditation for the 5th year as I write this. Why is this scam of a place still around. I would assume that before they lose their accreditation they will just change their name to "Creek Point Uni" "Go Smoke Some Crack and Go Here Uni". And these are the reasons why I would sell myself for crack than go to this scam of an institution.

They want to be successful. There is lots of staff members that can help you out from professors to peers. During orientation, they do explain what courses will be taken, materials needed, what to expect, and who to see if you have issues. The school has a simulation lab that really impressed me. It was very open, clean, and lots of equipment for hands on skills. There is a cafeteria downstairs, library, and a 24 hour student lounge. This program does provide night and weekend courses which not many universities do. There is a 24 hour security and they will offer to walk to your car in the evening if it seems sketchy. There is free parking for students. Wink wink. Overall, I really enjoy the friendly, helpful, and enthusiastic staff. I hope that this stays consistent throughout the program.

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!!

Some of the professors are ultra liberal and they try to shoved down their ideology on the students. But most of the business program professors are awesome. This is a great school to commute to and also to transfer from community college. They do a great job of getting you equipped for the real world of full-time employment. If I had a chance to do college all over again I would choose DePaul in a heartbeat.
