I am puzzled at the one-star reviews here. This school is a gem. Small campus feel with big campus facilities. The business school is only 18 months old and is a state-of-the-art facility. 17-1 student to teacher ratio with no teaching assistants in the classroom providing instruction. You learn from real professors. The close proximity of the university to Chicago means students have internship opportunities with some of the leading corporations in the world.
Visited your university yesterday for a football game. 1st time traveling with Olivet College football we, as seniors, we're not given a senior rate, was made to pay $10 to enter game to see our grandson play. Next, to start the game, there was a prayer, then the national anthem---- with 15 of your players taking a knee! 1st time this year for that as well! What an embarrassment for your school!
The school program is good. However, the staff never answers emails or phone calls.
Good instructors and colleagues but you will graduate with a huge debt and NO help in finding a job.
Great small university. Very student oriented great campus location
I do not normally write negative reviews as I try to always be positive and if I don't have anything nice to say I try to say nothing at all but if this helps anyone who is trying to make a decision on whether or not to attend this facility then I'm willing to write this. I would not recommend this school to ANYONE! My son attended for two years and I can't think of one positive aspect to write about. The dorms were disgusting and rundown, help from professors and faculty in EVERY department non existent, and the athletic department is a joke!

University? Or just another school
The dorm that I stayed was absolutely disgusting and rundown. The basement where the washer and driers are is often flooded and smells like mildew. The bathrooms are cleaned once a day and the idiots who live here do disgusting things to the bathroom all the time. Someone has pooped in the shower. People pee in water bottles and place them in the urinals. People fill the toilets to the brim with toilet paper and no one does anything about it. The halls always smell like weed and cigarettes. There are some really smart students here. However, in my experience, many of the students are unintelligent and have no ambition. It is clear that a lot of people go here because they couldn't get into any other school. The school will accept anyone who applies because they are desperate for money. If your only goal is to earn a degree than this school is fine. However, if you would actually like to learn a field of study, there are plenty of other universities with a real learning atmospheres. The education you get here is not worth the insane amount of money you pay.
The campus is in a suburban city of Lisle. Not super crowded, but calm. The school itself is small with smaller class sizes. Academically is is alright and not amazing. I will say there is a lot more opportunities to get involved though. My sister graduated from here and she is about to start her Master's degree. Basically if you work you will be a success coming form the school.
As a food scientist and food explorer, I attend the veggie fest every year. I enjoy listening to different perspectives on veganism and vegetariansm by different authors, activists etc. This year, I felt the focus is more towards Indian culture, meditation and spiritualism. I understand the vegetarianism is an integral part of indian spiritualism, but in the gathering like this I would like to focus on foods rather than on Indian culture. I would also suggest the organizers to invite scientists, engineers from leading food industry and academia to talk about the current status/chalenges of implementing vegetarianism/veganism or natural ingredients in processed foods.
Thanks for arranging the kids activities, My daughter enjoyed it the most.
This school awesome and the professors are great. The only thing that is in need of improvement is admissions. Too many students here are not at the college level with respects to academics, but I guess that is where the money is made (class repeaters and droppers).
