Shameful. I "transferred" here from SDSU. They made so many errors with my transcripts & I needed them to be reevaluated repeatedly. They never got them right. Vladimir Fernandez was my advisor & unfortunatley the only person standing between me & signing up for classes. He continuously ignored my calls, emails, & attempts to meet him at his office. He no called no showed me on at least 2 occasions. This went on for 2 months. After calling anyone & everyone I could think of to help me get Vladimir to take his job seriously the Dean of B&M returned my call. He apoligized profusely & promised he would make it right. Nothing ever happened. This "college" stole my time, money, & sanity. If you are serious about your education stay far away from Northeastern. I couldn't make this stuff up if I tried.

Worst university in Chicago my last education professor rachel holtz did a 20 minute snack time to start class instead of using that time to teach also was told she would not help struggling students because she wanted to have a social life and didn't have time. Avoid this university at all costs. Also was dropped by the university from a class the day after full reimbursement was offered so had to pay for a class they dropped me from. Graduated from here in 08 and went back for a few classes but now am ashamed i ever graduated from this terrible school.

Atrocious teaching staff, terrible financial aid office. Professors belittle anyone who disagree with their view. Overpriced, and scammers. I'm currently enrolled in community college and I'm learning far more than I ever learned here (and it's 2x cheaper). Don't come here, they'll rob you!

NEIU is great. Professors and students are smart. Tuition is cheap. I heard negative things about NEIU before I came, but they were just wrong. I do not have even one negative thing to say. I highly recommend it.

The school is very diverse and a lower budget choice. I graduated from their science/education programs. I found my degree in Biology to be challenging and largely based on book memorization with occasional hands on experience. Their lab experience seemed dated compared to other institutions. This tends to be the nature of Biology, but I wouldn't say they excelled in making the experience amazing or poor.
Their education program however was very lacking. It seemed out of touch with employers/districts needs. There was little to no focus on methodology, classroom management techniques other than case studies. These are the two most important skills needed in order to achieve student mastery. They did not model what they taught and I found many of their classes to be instructor led discussions about student based teaching. There was an immense amount of time spent on lesson plans and preparing portfolio's. While both are important record keeping practices, they should have been interwoven into a curriculum focused on skills based learning.response / report this review -

An Excellent School!!! I went through taking Data Structures and Pascal programming language before getting into the Computer Science Masters program. This program helped me to build a strong base for my professional future. Loved two and half years of schooling there and miss it!!! I came across very caring teachers during this course.

I was an undergrad here for around two years(freshman to Sophomore). Afterwards, I transferred out. From the two years I've been there, I can at least say the professors are not terrible. I understand you wont have all perfect teachers that will help or accommodate you, but overall, they're not terrible. The professors are Average- nothing too- too special to complain about, but not awful. However, the MAIN reason I'm giving this school 2/5 stars is due to the schools's Financial Department, even the Study abroad department wasn't coordinated properly(that's a whole other story and don't wanna rant about that here) They caused me and my parents almost NOTHING but frustration. I'm sure many people down the comment section would agree with me on this issue. From my experience with them, they are unprofessional- meaning can't handle information properly, don't return phone calls, nor work with student's problem, uncoordinated- No one is Cooperating with each other to solve the student's problem, they just get passed from person-to-person hoping the other staff would help the student, and unorganized(need I say more about this matter?).
If it weren't for the Financial Aid department being a total mess, then I'd give it a solid 3 or 4 star. Needlessness to say, you get what you paid for. If you have some extra $ saved up, then it's definitely worth going to a school that costs a lil' more. I currently attend a private college that costs more, but with better quality and Financial department that COOPERATES. This is just my constructive criticism. I have nothing against the school, but the Financial Department HAS to CHANGE, or at least do their job more efficiently!response / report this review -

Coming in as a transfer student, the CMT department made me feel at home. These teachers are passionate about their jobs and the success of their students. They do a great job encouraging students to ask questions and are willing to help and go over things that are not understood. The diversity at this school allowed me to get insight on beliefs and opinions other than my own and pushed me to be more open-minded.
