    The hardest book to ever get, after you paid for it
    Martin P.

    The book store: The hours on Friday to pick up textbooks and other items is just nonsense. I mean what successful business is open only 5 hours on a Friday? Of course there are no hours on the weekend, the University is keeping this (book store) schedule on a traditional academic route, where other Universities are making changes to reach a wider audience of students. Although I can get emails about them pushing pens, textbooks, jerseys with the school name to cock fights and liver transplants but nothing about the hours of the store in these emails. I only see this level of distinction at academic institutions of higher learning and freakin clown shows. I am not sure if they are trying to make sure that the University is keeping that "cool" kid -like vibe for the students and their families from small po dunk towns from God know where, or these kids need to have enough time to get high (they smoke right outside the store! IKR?). However for the working professionals and those who are serious about an education, this is just another impediment to getting that degree and actually recommending the University to other people. The bookstore is just a reflection of the mismanagement of the institution, who should just go "full party school" than trying to "sell" that they are a serious academic institution.

    Former Architectural Engineering grad who's transfered herself to UIC since. I can speak of my…read moreexperience with administration since I had to deal with them a fair amount as an international student; it also seems a citizen by the name of Steven B shared the same sentiments I did - I had an accident in 2021 and had to undergo surgery for a broken fibula (bedridden for 3mths, immobile for 6) and the process was tedious enough. I had to request full medical leave for an entire semester, and I regret paying for the student insurance offered by the school - simply acquiring the insurance ID took me 2 weeks, and I was at risk of infection if I wasn't operated on within a week. SHWC was accomadating, i had to resort to my AA to speed up the process and pnly he seemed to care. Don't expect any other dptmt to be helpful or responsive enough in a dire situation, 1 email took them 3-4 business days to respond to and it was just a series of unhelpful responses involving redirecting me to different dptmts for me to come back to square one. IIT admin seems to overcomplicate simple matters and divert/dodge your requests, it's appalling. I've studied at 2 different institutions prior and have never experienced problems w admin the way I did here. It's a bureaucratic nightmare. After this was resolved, I could've carried on fine if I didn't exceed the 6 mths of LOA (your I20 has to be renewed if this happens) but IIT decided to add another layer of complexity and make it more difficult for me, I'm glad they drove me to leave because I didn't asubmit a reinstatement form I wasn't informed of on time. I went home, overhauled the visa and I20 and transfered to UIC and they can have my money. All is good now, the last bit I have to deal with is acquiring my transcript from this shithole and be done with them once and for all, over a 2k unspecificed student accounting hold (amillion emails and 2 mths later, req access for student portal to view invoice, gave me new password but doesn't work, SA & Registrar admin probably sits around all day and hate their jobs) I've kept my invoices and paid all my tuition in full, and they still want to squeeze money out of a foreign student for a transcript I need for employment and transfer. Screw you IIT. STEM program quality is hit or miss depending on the intake. For what it's worth, my AA Brent Stephens was amazing and helped me tremendously through the bureaucratic loops, and he's apologized for the state that is their admin rn. I strongly suggest prospective students to consider different schools due to the lack of student life here, and the lack of student support and post grad employment here. Even if you had less dire issues, dealing w admin is inevitable (every cohort mate/alum I've encountered generally had a negative impression of admin here)

The tour also visited the R. Crown Building designed by famous architect and former professor Mies van der Rohe. The R. Crown Building is a unique structure with an H-style architectural beam design which provides a wide open space for students in architecture to learn. Bright light, thoughtful ventilation system, interior blocking of the street level in the drafting table area so that the students would not be "distracted" by the outside activity. A sculpted bust of Mr. Rohe is located immediately upon entering the building to the left. Interesting fact is that the "i ball" was held in 1959 and Duke Ellington was hired to perform for the students and their guests! McCormick Student Center is a unique structure in that it was designed in which the Chicago L runs right through a tube in the building..you can hear the train! Wide open spaces inside which are functional for students including a store, cafeteria, and study areas complete with a 3D printer!!!

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.

Everybody who has attended this school has had issues with the department during their time in NLU. They will not send your Reward Letter. Until classes have already started, which can be an issue for some people since they might not be able to afford the pocket cost for the Quater, and if you can't pay it, you cannot register for classes for the next Quater. When I was attending this school, I had a terrible advisor. She was the advisor for the transfer students. She was trying to enroll me in courses I didn't need to take, and she almost made me go another year of school, taking unnecessary courses when I only needed to take two more classes to graduate during my last semester of school. Also, halfway through my time at NLU, I discovered they still need to check my transcript for my last semester at the other college I attended. When I told them, and they did check my transcript, I didn't even need to take the course I was taking during the semester, and I couldn't drop the class since it was after midterms, and you couldn't get a refund for the course. Also, they tried to make me take GEN ED courses that I had already taken in my Community College. After I told my advisor about it, she finally made it as a transfer credit. IF YOU ARE A TRANSFER STUDENT, MAKE SURE THEY CHECK ALL OF YOUR CLASSES FROM YOUR PREVIOUS COMMUNITY COLLEGE OR UNIVERSITY. Because if you don't, these guys might not check, and you might be taking more courses that you shouldn't be taking. The good thing about the advising department is that you can go to other advisors for help if your advisor isn't available or wants somebody else to check. There is one great advisor who helped me out in the end and made sure that I could graduate. Don't get me wrong, I had a great time attending NLU despite taking classes online. The professors are great, and some have helped me grow. Many would have guest speakers come in, and many would help you get a job after obtaining your degree or getting an internship. But I wouldn't recommend going to this school if you have other options, I suggest you go elsewhere. The school's promises sound good on paper, but the execution is terrible. Very disorganized is the best way to describe this school.

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.
