Good reviews
Overall 4.5
Great professionals working here. Good facility and education program. I am happy that I was lucky enough to know this place. I made long lasting friendships and learned a lot. My improved knowledge of psychology now helps me in my current work place.

I have talked to many people in the field that went to this school and loved their experience. I’ve been at this school for a little while now and all of the professors I have had are very supportive and knowledgeable on their specialties. The school is in a great location and there are tons of places around to get work done.

I attended the Chicago ground campus. The internet is terrible, I had mostly adjunct professors with little to no applied experience, and registration is a nightmare. It's also confusing knowing who to direct questions to, since admin. are based out of the LA campus. View is nice though. Tuition is too high and not worth the experience I received.

Every negative review you've seen when researching the Chicago location is true. The professors and staff are not the best. Since leaving, 5 other people that were in my cohort have reached out inquiring about where I transferred to. The retention rate for this school tells you everything you need to know. It is not worth the time or money.

Be very careful who you choose as a professor. Some professors are amazing, some average, & some can be downright nasty. Many professors are very judgmental and too focused on diversity. At times your entire class can turn into a diversity lecture, even if it's a theories class. I wish I had gone to another school. Am almost done-not starting over.
