Chicago State University made my college experience horrible. The advisors do not know what they…read moreare doing. Most of them are teachers who do not have time to advise students. Any information you need to know comes from peers not the staff. The school is unorganized and money hungry.

The best thing about Chicago state university is the staff. The Dean of Students, Ms.Upshaw,…read moreMs.Bennet, and every single staff member that I've ran across are absolutely amazing. It's honestly a bit sad that they word for CSU because the staff are so much greater than the university itself. They are supportive, loving, and really do want their students to excel in life. Unfortunately the school itself is a shit show. It's not clean, outdated, and not worker-friendly. Most schools at least have evening classes but CSU practically has none. You can't go to the school unless you work at night or don't have a job at all. There are very few resources to succeed here. I wouldn't recommend CSU for anyone. They have very few programs in comparison to other schools. It's cheap but the area is located in the hood and commuting can be unsafe if you're using public transit. Good luck with your endeavors at CSU.... If you can avoid it, just go to the community colleges instead.

Hey fellow Yelpers! I'm currently an employee at Saint Xavier University and about to reach my 1…read moreyear anniversary and have been loving it. I work in the Student Advising Center department and love the amazing team that I work with. We're all passionate & want to make sure students are set up for success and I hope the students can see that. Such beautiful campus! Be wary of the many geese that like to hangout on campus & squirrels in the trash cans lol. Benefits: They have really good benefits here at SXU such has good health insurance, 403(b), FREE graduate school at SXU (just need to pay some sort of fee each term/semester), professional development opportunities, you are able to teach TS-100: Transitions (1-credit course required for first-year students) only if you have a Master's degree, etc. I'm planning to start the MBA program this coming fall (Fall 2025) and I'm excited! Work Environment: The staff I've interacted with so far have always been friendly & welcoming whether that is my colleagues or fellow staff from various departments. Collaboration is always encouraged but rarely happens except for big events like first-year orientation known as ROAR (Registration, Orientarion, & Academic Readiness), ACSD (Advising & Career Success Day), etc. I'd love to have more opportunities to collaborate with various departments. Overall Experience: Overall, I've been loving & enjoying my time working here at SXU. Staff are friendly & welcoming! Most students tend to be understanding with the information shared with them by academic advisors and other staff members. I hope this review helps current & future students, staff, & faculty. Have an amazing day!

My first time actually coming to this college. I have a tenant community college before at Malcolm x and a couple classes at daily first time and I believe it has been renovated. It was actually on the weekend so I really didn't get to see it a normal typical day when school was in session. But I love that they had a nice lecture hall and massive conference rooms. The seminar itself was absolutely amazing to see up and coming entrepreneurs and people are already insisting in business giving helpful tips and tricks to get started
