Not a great school for those looking to move forward.

You get what you pay for. Just like the students there, it has potential. Staff and professors are hit or miss. Student body is mostly commuters, parking is bad. Clubs are dead and greek life a joke. Expect to have a social life some other way or somewhere else because it's not a typical campus. Get in and get out as quickly as you can. Good luck.

Terrible Terrible school. Financial aid is no help. Admissions is no help. The only good thing about this school is the housing cause they're brand new but overpriced. They won't and don't care about you I really would never recommend.
Overall 1.5
I would not recommend anybody to go here, if I knew what I know now, I wouldn't have wasted my time. It is what you make of it. If you insist on going to this school, know that you might be here longer than you planned on being here because faulty administration and you may never get answers to your questions.

You're on your own. This is an in and out school! Boring. I had more support and resources at City Colleges of Chicago than this university.
Overall 1.7
Basic school to get the degree. Not many memories or experience for the future. Unless you really get involved in school and help around the department you're in, you're a nobody. Classes are big and professors don't have TA's.
Overall 1.7
Not a school to meet new people. Its a really boring school, which doesn't help with any help with opportunities to help find an internship position. Was dragged to come here. Wouldn't recommend this school to anyone
Overall 1.7
Poor administration. The Dean of the College of Education is switch. She runs students out and loves a good fight. She should be a boxer.
Overall 1.8
Not the greatest school ever, but you get what you pay for.
Overall 1.9
Very disorganized!
