I am in a Masters Program at CCSJ. I have had a very good experience so far. The admissions process…read morewent smoothly. The business office is staffed with competent people. I often received emails that are tailored to me and not the entire student body. This is a fine level of service. On the academic end, the courses have been rigorous and the instructors have been very qualified and knowledgeable. They seem to be experts in their respective fields. Many schools have tenured professors who are out of touch with their own fields. The professors here seem to know their stuff. The "vertical" school as they term it is clean and modern. The parking lot is large so parking is not a hassle. There are nice areas for students to relax and food is available. Returning to the business aspect of higher education, I have a doctorate degree from another institution and that school was excellent. However, they were always very aggressive in collecting tuition and fees. Here the college works with the students and tends to avoid the threatening demand letters. Ultimately, the school has to get paid and you will not graduate without paying your balance. It's nice though that the school doesn't send out the goon squad because you haven't cut a check for a technology fee or overdue library book. I have about a year left here and I look forward to it. I would not hesitate to recommend Calumet College of Saint Joseph to anyway looking to further their education.

Was just a kinda lame college, they should just get better, no decorations, looked bland and mid.read more

Unless you work for the steel company, you ain't getting here by land and that's super unfortunate. You can't even get to a place where you can see it from a distance. From the lake? Maybe.

My issue is with the financial aid office. I have been back and forth with them for a whole month &…read morethey have yet to release my financial aid to my new school. I've done everything I've needed to only to be told by the financial aid office that it was "done". Then to contact my new university for them to tell me they cannot use my financial aid as to Ivy Tech still hadn't updated the COD website (website used my universities as info as to what college is utilizing financial aid). It's been a whole month. I called financial aid office in East Chicago I believe. The receptionist had me transferred to Kimberly Cloud. I want to be sure everyone is aware of this person, she was extremely rude and only confirmed why I should of switched universities a long time ago. When asked to send a document to my email she said "can you just take my email down and email me so I don't have to write yours down" when asked if I could speak to a higher manager she ignored my request. Apparently financial aid doesn't keep track of when they speak to their students because she told me she had "no record" of conversations I've had with the financial aid office when I literally have reference numbers in my email of when I did. Here we go a little over a month and they have yet to do what's needed so I can use my financial aid at my new school. Such trash this place is. If I could give less then one star, I would. It's disgusting how they treat people and how lazy their financial aid office is. They're quick to collect money but when you need it elsewhere there's no one to help you. Disgusting and trashy facility.
