I thought it would be appropriate to review RU since I just graduated with my MBA from there. It…read moreseems as though most of the reviewers are coming from the PsyD program. My experience with RU has been totally different. I have felt welcome there since I stepped foot into the admissions office. You need to realize that Roosevelt is NOT a top school but is reputable. I came in with that knowledge. For the most part, my professors were great. In fact, I felt that they were more engaged with the students and more passionate abut their subjects than my undergrad professors (a large Chicago-area state school). The curriculum was consistent, but I did have a couple rogue professors. Did it get the job done? Yes. Did I learn something? Yes. MBA programs should not be entered lightly, but I would recommend RU for a working professional looking for a reasonably priced program. Class times were mostly at night and there were Saturday options as well.

I went to Roosevelt University to attend a conference that was hosted there. It was hard to find…read morethe entrance because there was no clear sign showing where to enter or park. I had to drive around the entire building to find the entrance that I was supposed to enter through. Once inside I found the hallways to be very cramped. The classrooms all had chalkboards, which I haven't seen in at least 15 years. The bathrooms have not been updated in a long time, 30 years if I had to guess. There were some sound problems with a presentation but the sound engineer was there to fix the issue. There were some nice lounge areas to rest and recharge between sessions on a long day. I cannot recommend Roosevelt University to as a facility to attend conferences at.

I was taking some classes at Harper Professional Center as part of a certification program and…read morereally enjoyed this building. It's far off from the main Harper campus which for me was a definite plus. That means parking right outside your classroom and you never have to worry about going up & down aisles to find parking. There is always parking at HPC! HPC has a nice computer lab you have full access to including printing, plus a resource in the lab if you need help with anything. Actually the HPC is full of resources there to help with anything an adult learner could need. It's actually a great facility completely geared to the post bachelor degree adult age learners which is nice. My personal opinion is when you're of that age you do well in classes you take because you truly are committed to the learning aspect in your courses as opposed to just getting by, & retaining information for tests. If you need to take some Harper courses and ever see them offered at HPC, I highly recommend opting to take them here. Great staff, location and minimal issues as opposed to the main campus.

From the owner: The Harper Professional Center (HPC) houses the following programs and resources:…read more * Computer Education and Training * Workforce Certification Center * Illinois Small Business Development Center * Fast Track accelerated degree and certificate program * Harper College for Businesses * Job Placement Resource Center * Motorcycle Safety Program

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.

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
