The teachers are all stupid as well, they don't even teach correctly and they don't answer their emails. Get a better staff because this genuinely is a terrible environment for students who actually want to study in something important and being told to go lower on a major scale by some advisor all because they don't want to give out more suggestions because they hate their job also ruins the college experience.

This has become my home away from home the past few years. I attended UIC for my graduate degree…read moreand have learned to love most of the oddities that make it who it is. I have met some amazing people from this school and have had an array of professors, some who have changed my learning and life for the best and others who have given me ceaseless nightmares. I'll give a tiny rundown on UIC, although if you are seriously searching for colleges, I hope you consider looking beyond Yelp for pros/cons. Strengths: It's somewhat affordable. Have a great gym, wide array of student services including campus care, events, therapy, and a student center. Usually can get in touch with someone after multiple emails. Well known by employers. Accessible and proximate to downtown. They have a library. Building new dorms/updating some of the buildings. Weaknesses: Parking is very difficult unless you buy the monthly pass. Some of the buildings are outdated, although they are trying to update these. Some of the advisors are not so helpful. Side note: I did not review my specific program as this listing is for the campus/school itself.

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 you live in the suburbs, its worth it to pay out of district and make the trip up to the city to attend Truman. Its worth it. Not all community colleges are the same.

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.

Jesus blessed this school with rules and social constructs designed to keep our Swedish-Covenant culture immensely dominant, and quite frankly, I couldn't have been more relieved to go to school at a place EXACTLY LIKE THE ENVIRONMENT I GREW UP IN! What are these God-given rules that keep our campus holy, you ask? Well, first of all, we are proudly required to take eight full credit hours of bible courses, although you do get an option to take world religions aka "why Christianity (specifically the covenant church) is better than every other belief system." Classes like these help strengthen our faith and reinforce the same worldview we had when we first arrived on campus. Most importantly, they give us courage to question the undoubtedly confused beliefs of the unsaved. See, the thing about unsaved people is that they often partake in heretical activities, such as smoking pot or NOT GOING TO COLLEGE LIFE (our Sunday night chapel service). People who commit these detestable acts are toxic to our environment. It is best not to acknowledge their existence. If they still don't go away after being shunned, I would encourage you to slander/gossip about them under the guise of prayer. That should definitely drive them away. Unsaved people make up a small minority of the campus population, so don't get too worried. Anyway, they're pretty much a blessing in disguise because isolating them helps us further strengthen our faith. So far, my favorite part about college is having the opportunity to only hang out with covenant people because here at North Park, we believe that you can only achieve maximum faith if you're constantly surrounded by people who believe in Jesus. Thanks to North Park University, my faith levels are off the charts! May God continue to bless my wonderful school!

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.

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.

We were supposed to be covering case studies and learning valuable skills for our careers, but instead, it felt like everyone was just kissing up to each other like we were back in high school. The fakeness was unbearable. If you're looking for an easy degree and don't really care about learning anything useful, then DePaul is definitely the place for you. But if you want to actually learn something and grow as a person, I suggest you look elsewhere. I regret ever attending this university and would never recommend it to anyone.
