10/6 The book store: The hours on Friday to pick up textbooks and other items is just nonsense. I mean what successful business is open only 5 hours on a Friday? Of course there are no hours on the weekend, the University is keeping this (book store) schedule on a traditional academic route, where other Universities are making changes to reach a wider audience of students.
Although I can get emails about them pushing pens, textbooks, jerseys with the school name to cock fights and liver transplants but nothing about the hours of the store in these emails. I only see this level of distinction at academic institutions of higher learning and freakin clown shows. I am not sure if they are trying to make sure that the University is keeping that "cool" kid -like vibe for the students and their families from small po dunk towns from God know where, or these kids need to have enough time to get high (they smoke right outside the store! IKR?).
However for the working professionals and those who are serious about an education, this is just another impediment to getting that degree and actually recommending the University to other people. The bookstore is just a reflection of the mismanagement of the institution, who should just go "full party school" than trying to "sell" that they are a serious academic institution.
The bookstore is a small but great when you order online to pick up your items (textbooks) and the customer service from Machelle was fantastic. Note: I gave 4 stars to only the bookstore portion of Roosevelt University.response / report this review -

I began my graduate program May '16. No issues with graduate advisors, professors. 4 stars because of my two issues, library and financial aid.
My constant issue is people talking loudly at the library. Is it necessary to post signs to "be quiet"? Students tend to walk around talking loudly or on their phones as if they were outside or lounging in their living room. I guess people have lost the concept of a library. I encourage staff/management to visit the library and sit for 5 minutes and you will immediately realize the noise level.
My second issue is financial aid. I never had any problems until recently. Since we were recently "assigned" a financial aid advisor, it only created issues and many sleepless nights. My financial aid advisor was useless. She never helped, hardly ever replied to any emails within a reasonable timeframe (I typically give a 36 hour reply period), and when she did, it was days if not weeks later and or she replied with a question that was not relevant to my question. Fortunately, I had personally met with a financial aid advisor Fall '16 and he was beyond helpful. I felt the need to apologize every time I sought his assistance because we are "assigned" to a financial aid advisor. He had no problem answering my questions almost immediately or within 24 hours. If it weren't for him, I would not have been able to keep my remaining two classes. Can you imagine, two classes away from graduating and my loan is nowhere to be found?! If you encounter any financial aid issues, I strongly recommend calling the financial office or meet with someone in person.
Aside from these two issues, I like Roosevelt University.response / report this review -

DO NOT ATTEND!!! If I could give this school less than one star I would. Yes, I graduated from this place. I regret it every single day. Go ANYWHERE else but here. Once you get accepted and start classes, the advisors no longer give you the time of day. student services is terrible, they are just after your money.

Historical downtown campus, an exceptional array of professors, personal attention with smaller class sizes, an excellent university!

RU is what you make of it. There are some great professors and good classes. I completed my BLS and the undergraduate students were eh. I completed my MBA and those students were much more involved and quite bright. Outside of Chicago, no one really knows this university. I live and work in Manhattan and no one has ever heard of this school. However, I work for the largest consulting firm in the world and received offers from equally prestigious firms. Since this school is locally known, you will have to be outstanding to compete in a serious market - NYC, London, Paris, SingaporeIf you are driven and avail yourself to the school's resources, you can succeed in a global city with a degree from RU.

This school is so prestigious and it's history is amazing. It holds so many talented professors and students alike. I know someone who graduated from here and he is excelling so far in his career because of this university.
