Where do I begin? I am currently enrolled at this institution and the only reason I do not transfer…read moreout is because I have one semester left. DO NOT ATTEND THIS SCHOOL! First of all, administration is circling the toilet. It takes WEEKS to get an email response from anyone in any department. Billing, financial aid, advising, etc. Calling is not better because you either get a voicemail or someone that has absolutely no business answering the call due to an utter lack of knowledge surrounding the department which results in a "call back" that never happens. Since enrolling, I have had three classes added to my graduation plan that popped out of nowhere. I have also had teachers leave mid semester, one of which affected my grade so badly, I had to drop the class. When I reached out about getting the course refunded, they stated it was past the deadline. I explained that I only had to drop because of THEIR TURNOVER issue and they still did not refund me. Mind you, I have dropped other courses past the deadline and understood I was ineligible for a refund. This, however, was 100% the fault of the school and should have been treated as such. I am not sure who monitors the curriculum, but there are professors on complete power trips that literally drown you in coursework. College curriculum should be challenging and teach you about time management, but this is another level entirely. There are professors who have a complex assignment due every single day. Juggling this with four other classes can be extremely overwhelming and no one seems to care. I enrolled as an online student because I do not live in the area. At first, this was fine. However, over the past year, they have moved to "live streaming" courses for most of my classes which is so incredibly inconvenient! I'm in a completely different time zone and have had to make arrangements at my work just to attend courses. The whole point of being an online student was so I could attend school around my work schedule! Finally, the utilization of respondus lockdown browser for non-degree specific courses is ridiculous! I major in accounting, so having it as a requirement for accounting courses makes sense. But why do I need it for a marketing course?? Stupid. This school is a complete joke and I cannot wait to be finished with this institution so I never have to look back. I will be dissuading every single person I know in the area from this school as I have siblings and cousins graduating soon.

Office workers refuse to leave office to do anything. They hardly ever communicate with residents…read morein regards to upcoming issues or inspections. The only reason I gave them 2 stars is because the maintenance workers are awesome and fix the issues when they come up. I also believe I was being ripped off with energy costs. I now live in a 3 bedroom house in the same town and pay a fraction I paid while living at Campus Manor in a 2 bedroom apartment. I even had a $50 credit each month from campus manor for electric and gas. The pool is the defacto community pool since they never check for passes. So pretty much you are sharing the pool with all those who live around you. The apartments are party central with loud parties every weekend and they rarely enforce parking after office hours which means parking is a hassle. Further proof of the communication issues is I moved out 2 months ago and I have received 3 emails to my WIU student email to sign up as a new resident. Apparently they refuse to do research and simply send spam emails to anyone. I have asked them not to send me anymore emails but I have been ignored each time. I do not recommend to those who value privacy and a quiet relaxed place to live. They are also the same at Campus Pointe since its the same company.

Highly recommend this establishment to any students looking for affordable housing around WIU.

This is by far the worst rental agency you can possibly rent from in the Macomb area. They could care less about your living conditions as long as long as they are receiving your money.

I am so happy to be moving out of this place after 2 years. One of the worst complexes I have ever…read morelived in. Maintenance orders take forever to get completed, and when they do the jobs they are done poorly or not completed. Example. The bathroom sink was leaking out the bottom. Took over a week for them to get to it. Then after they fixed it, it started leaking again. Waited another 2 weeks for them to come back. This time they put in a new sink. Never finished caulking around the sink though. There is black mold forming on the bathroom ceilings. Was already there when I moved in. Appliances are out dated, and anything replaced is cheap. Yesterday I got home from work to find a bunch of cat litter and cat poop right outside the entrance door to our building unit. Someone's trash bag ripped and decided not to clean it up. Called the office. They said they knew and put in a WORK ORDER!! Went to work this morning and the litter and crap is still there. I'm sorry, but that is ridiculous. Someone should have been sent to clean it up, not a work order. The outside lighting is horrible and gives the community an unsafe feeling. There are also vehicles sitting around the lots that have not moved in 8 months and no one has been in them. There is a car with a broken out window and no license plate, yet still sits there. Guessing most likely stolen vehicles that just get dumped, cause in Springfield stealing cars seems to be the cool thing to do. Management at this establishment has let this complex turn to crap the past couple years. Back in the day it may have been a pretty nice complex. But now it is overpriced and ran down.

The pictures speak for themselves. This place is absolutely disgusting. But that's not entirely why…read moreI'm leaving this review. Instead, I'm leaving it because I was just reported to collections by Chatham Hills without any prior notice in the mail for $1,500 in fees from moving out. They took the opportunity to replace absolutely everything in the apartment and ran with it. New carpet, drip pans, etc. I find it absurd that as a company they lack the integrity to take responsibility for the obvious structural shortcomings and fix up the apartment themselves. Instead, they took advantage of a previous tenant by sending them straight to collections to renovate the apartment. Do not live here under any circumstances. You as a human being deserve to live in a place that isn't infested to this degree. Also, give your rent money to a company with integrity and not people that are going to take advantage of you.

As a Bradley student, don't rent from UP. I rented from Ideal Rentals before UP and had such a…read morebetter experience. UP charged my friends and I $550 each for our security deposit. Then, when it came to the end of the lease, they hit us with a $1000-ish fee for "carpet cleaning," with our house having like 1 hallway and room of carpet upstairs. This was NOT in the lease and was still being taken out of our deposit. Then, 1 month after I thought I was good and out of that place, they sent us an email about our 2nd "garbage and sewer fee" in the amount of around $500-ish, also being taken out of our security deposit. Basically, they are money hungry and as a landlord, should be covering the sewer & garbage fees for THEIR OWNED property, and should at least be incorporating this fee into the monthly rent and not throwing it at us a month after moving out. I just want to be done with this place. Oh, not to mention we left behind furniture & new window AC units for the next tenants which was stolen before the tenants moved in :)

I was similarly impressed with the student-ambassadors and professors who made themselves available, and my very-discerning son came away impressed at the caliber of students and professors alike. He aspires to be a history professor and already knows much, much more than I do (I've been a high school teacher for 20 years). For him to come away with compliments speaks volumes about what he experienced. For context, here's his explanation of the conflict as Russia invaded Ukraine: "The Slavic people's (Poles, Russians, Serbs, Croats, Bulgarians, etc) originated in the area called Ruthenia which is split between Poland and Ukraine. By the 500s they had split into Western Slavs centered in Poland and Eastern Slavs centered in Ukraine. Northern Russia was occupied by Finno-Ugric tribes and was sparsely populated, but the Eastern Slavs gradually pushed north. Around this time (the 700s) Vikings from Sweden began settling in the area and intermingling with the Russians. The name Russian actually comes from a term the Vikings used for the natives, "Rus'" from Old Norse "Roþlandi" (land of rowers) For most of the middle ages people in Ukraine and Russia shared a common language and culture and this is still largely true. Ukrainian is considered by some linguists to be a dialect of Russian as they are mostly mutually intelligible. Like I've said, the concept of an independent Ukrainian state is a very new concept. The first Ukrainian state was formed in 1917 after the treaty of Brest-Litovsk when the central powers created the Ukrainian People's Republic, also know as the National Republic of Ukraine. The Republic was mostly controlled by right-wing or anti-communist groups and so they developed a form of nationalism based in Russophobia. This was made worse by the terrible borders drawn by the Soviet Union. Crimea, which had always had a population of mixed Tatars and Russians, was given to Ukraine. A large area east of the Dneipr river (which is what Russia is invading Ukraine for) is also almost completely Russia". He's got some content knowledge. For him to be impressed by what he saw speaks volumes (and I'm not bragging about my son; I'm complimenting Knox).

The campus itself is small, making it easy to make friends of all ages and backgrounds and make it to and from class on time. The classes offered here are compelling, engaging, and challenging. The faculty and staff are supportive and have consistently pushed me to be the best version of myself as possible inside and outside of the classroom. Here are some of my favorite things about Knox: - Ease of getting involved on campus (volunteer opportunities, language and cultural clubs, athletics, performing arts, etc. open to all students) - Galesburg! The neighboring town of the school is complete with all of the stores a college student might need (Kohls, Wal-Mart, Target), as well as yummy restaurants (Baked Pizza, Landmark Cafe) - Amtrak: Knox College is an easy five/ten minute walk to an Amtrak station where you can board a train and be in Chicago in a matter of hours - Community: Knox is a close-knit and diverse community of scholars from across the United States and the world itself. Students come to Knox to learn from esteemed faculty and each other. I value the friendships I have made at Knox, and look forward to an incredible future with them after graduation
