    Lewis does indeed have an idyllic campus, with some of the best faculty to ever facilitate…read moreeducation. At Christmas every year, Lewis sends out fabulous cards to anybody with even a remote connection to the university, on very nice 120 pound card stock. Lewis also is at best capricious and at worst extremely inconsistent as to whom, as an administration, it favors, and whom it does not. Lewis is run by the Christian Brothers, also known as the Lasallians. Lasallians are supposed to base their educational methods on five principles rooted in Catholic values and virtues. That does not seem to hold true for the Lasallians at Lewis, and the administration hired to represent them. Sixty-three to sixty-five percent of the faculty at Lewis is composed of adjunct, or part-time, faculty. To be an adjunct means to not only have expertise as an academician, but the skills to be an expert in the corporate, commercial, industrial world where most of us reside. It also means only thirty-five to thirty-seven percent of the faculty is full-time staff. Even less than that are tenured. An adjunct faculty member of Lewis recently died. This person taught at Lewis for twenty years. The professor's classes were well-attended, and most students appreciated the professor's efforts. The faculty member taught anywhere from three to five classes a semester, what elsewhere would constitute a full class load. This person went to the annual adjunct dinner, as well as volunteered for May Institute, seminars, convocations, and panels. When this adjunct could no longer drive to Lewis, the individual took it upon himself two days a week to get up extremely early, take Metra into the Loop, to be on time for the Lewis bus to the main campus. Lewis's official answer to the adjunct faculty member's death was a copier paper sheet sent to the family in condolence, on which had been copied a Scripture verse, and the heading, "On behalf of the Brothers of the LaSalle Community, I want to extend our deepest sympathies..." That's it. No benefit, no remembrance of any kind. A few individual colleagues took the time to offer Masses, call, attend the visitation. Not the Christian Brothers, and not the administration that represents them. There are other examples that Lewis is not the Catholic university you would think it is. Look for these before you commit to attendance, or send your child to attend, Lewis. Do your own research. Find out how safe the dormitories really are. Look for the location of the chapel, and find the story on the conversion of what was once the chapel into a venue for luncheons and special events. And let's not forget cancelled Winter Commencement 2018 over a few cases of mumps that could have been quarantined- and don't try to ask why the immunization regulations were not enforced. Examine what you will receive for paying sixty-seven to eighty percent more than a public school, particularly for general education credits easily obtained at the local community college for thirty-three percent of the price of tuition at Lewis. And if nothing else convinces you to look elsewhere, remember that the majority of the professors who will teach you or your child are adjuncts, people skilled in both the classroom and the real world. And remember how Lewis treats those valuable, skilled people. Badly, at best.

    This college is located in a convenient location close to transportation, downtown Chicago and…read moreChinatown. On campus, there are plenty of trees and greenery. Some of the buildings are modern with great architecture. My favorite is the Kaplan building. As soon as you walk in, there is a robot near the front desk. In Kaplan, I feel like I'm in a college geared for the 21st century and beyond. This is STEM based campus for people with majors such as physics, mechanical engineering, computer science, chemical engineering, bioinformatics etc. Because of its great architectural design, films and movies have been filmed here. The popular show Empire has used the college for filming. The food in the Commons cafeteria is delicious, especially the stir fried rice. It had just the right amount of teriyaki sauce and veggies. The server prepares the fried rice, with vegetables, rice and chicken in front of the customers. The line for the stir fried rice was the longest line. The chocolate chip boondies were superb. I went over my calorie limit today!

This is the place to come if you really want to learn, and aspire to be the best in your field. You will be pushed, but it will change your life. Also, IIT Greek Life is the place to be, FYI.

    While I enjoyed many of my professors and courses in grad school there (I am a Dual MPH and MBA…read moreprogram graduate) it's clear to me that the university does not care about students and only cares about making money. I received a letter a few months ago, indicating that there was a balance of several thousand dollars on my student account. I graduated over a year prior and my account was in good standing. I had no balance in several months after it showed no balance. I no longer had access to my Benedictine school email after graduation, but apparently I received notifications that I had a balance on my account somehow. I then get surprised with a letter over year later that the account will be sent collections if they didn't receive the thousands of dollars within 30 days of receiving the letter. Luckily, I got mailed the letter and actually got it In time but they didn't reach out at all prior to that or to my email only an old student account. Because I have been undergoing extreme medical expenses and hardship I requested a hardship review which they refused there was no leniency on the amount which they had full discretion to lower. Just kept demanding it and that it could be sent to collections. So I had to pay them... they obviously do not care about people and just want their money.

    I joined the co-op 3+1 program from College of DuPage as a continuation onto my Business Management…read moreDegree. When I called to sign up, I had a SALESMAN (Walter Moore) call me back who set me up with an advisor, never telling me that they never intended on setting me up on the 3+1. After meeting with my assigned advisor, I was confused, as many of my courses were not transferable from COD. I inquired, and was told that COD's classes didn't qualify, but he never told me that I wasn't part of the 3+1 program. I even stated that the required courses he was showing me was not in line with finishing the program in the amount of time that I should. He said that I could, if I took an aggressive schedule. I was taking two courses per semester, as assigned by my advisor, comfortably. Then, Covid hit, as well as my mother became ill. I was completing my assignments, as assigned. Until, during one semester, he assigned me to another class. This was one too many as my work increased and my mother required more care. I told my advisor that I couldn't take 3 classes. He encouraged me to try and I continued to tell him that I could not...until, I could not dropout. I tried to call my advisor and Mr. Moore only to find that they both no longer worked at Benedictine. I was given a replacement advisor who assisted me in dropping my failed grade from the class I couldn't take, but would not give me a refund, until I could prove my work was more difficult and my mother actually needed more care with her cancer. I was told that I needed to pay for the class before continuing my curriculum. It was then that I checked the COD website to find that Benedictine and the 3+1 program had been dropped. I spoke to the advisor at COD who told me that they have received other complaints. Apparently, Benedictine had no intentions of being part of the 3+1 program. I was never informed that the program did not exist, not that I was never part of it. Now, I have creditors calling, threatening me. I have no intentions on paying, and I have no clue how to get my degree that I was made to believe, I was earning.
