Don't waste your time or money. This is a horrible place to try and learn, an absolute joke. It's a sham of a school no one should be subjected toRUN IF YOU CAN.

Honestly would learn more from a Youtube video than you would in a semester here.

I am a vet and decided to enroll here to pursue photography. Moved to VA Beach and had a blast going on campus. Had to move back to the Midwest and enrolled in online class for the Chicago campus. I've had nothing but problems since enrolling now over a month ago. I still get phone calls and emails every week about missplaced paperwork or them not being able to assist me with my courses. Absolute worst experience for any adult. They've also dragged their feet on sending over my Veterns paperwork to the regional office and won't get paid until mid August. I've had to pick up a job since. Hands down avoid online courses with this college at all costs especially if you're a vet and using your benefits. I've tried to drop a class now going on 3 weeks. They expect you to purchase class materials out of pocket and it's absurd at how much it costs. Especially in photography. The teacher said I literally cannot participate because I was missing some equipment. Perhaps the school should've put my paperwork in sooner so I could get my benefits and supply stipend so I could participate in the courses.

Pyramid scheme. For-profit waste of money.

I am Ai. Look it up on FB if this school screwed you.

This place sucks, I didn't even graduate because I lost my financial aid because I couldn't get any help with the coursework. I'm into debt from the loans up to my eyeballs now, thanks. Actually I changed my review to two stars only because I loved some of my instructors :) But the school as a whole sucked, no tutoring in the subjects people need and the instructors for some of the harder classes were not willing to help.

Going to this place was the biggest mistake I've ever made. They put me in so much financial debt it makes me sick. I'll end this with something positive. Some of the instructors are very good at what they do.

If I had to give a rating on the Illinois Institute of Art-Chicago based on the tuition then yes of course I would rate it 1 star. Aside from the tuition this is a great school, at least based on my experience. I have been fortunate enough to be taught by some of the best. I appreciate the time, effort, and encouragement I have received from my instructors, this holds true for my former program director as well. There are some instructors who continue to mentor you long after graduation. If it wasn't doing to much I would pay homage to each of them by name right here on this platform.

I believe that it is totally up to the student to push forth effort to absorb all that the instructors have to offer. Their years of experience and compassion should be enough to motivate one who is ready to learn. There have been plenty of times I have mentally noted that some students have not been turning in work the entire quarter, and some of us are guilty of not even reading one chapter of our online text books (which is sorta a downfall because some of us still like physical books). What you put is what you get out. I truly believe the Illinois Institute of Art-Chicago gives you the tools you need for starting your own business and or working for a corporation. I am very much #AIproud

--graphic design major--

If I knew how junky this school is I would have looked elsewhere. The facility itself isn't even close to being a real campus--it's located under the Holiday Inn. The bathrooms on the fashion/graphic/interior design area always smells like raw sewage. The "Student Lounge" is not only a small inadequate space to be what it is, but the room is not designed for it. The ventilation is poor making the room always carry a heavy cloud-stench of stale fast-food and burnt who-knows-what from the microwaves that are never clean.

A lot of the students here act like children and are not held accountable for their behavior. The classrooms are always left trashed, and rarely does it seem like anyone comes prepared with supplies they need. Even as a junior I ended up lending over half my class book making supplies because no one had brought anything. A lot of times it feels like the students accepted here are just going through the motions of going to class and don't even have real passion for what they're learning. I feel that the school needs to be more rigid in who they accept in the first place, and weeding out students from the program if they can't meet the standards. Instead they're given enough of a grade to pass and are just sort of pushed along

The price for this place is outrageous. With the amount of money they bring in from each student it's a mystery to me why many of the computers are broken, and why there many times doesn't seem to be enough computers for students who come in to do work on their own. There is an "open lab" room but many times I find it full, and the computers are so slow and lagging it's not even worth using. I know many other students from other majors also complain about equipment they need being broken, and not having enough available to use. The printing services available aren't bad, but there is always paper shortages. It feels like when things run out or are broken there's no urgency to fix it. The general attitude of the school is, "oh well, deal with it." when the reality is we're paying to have these services and equipment and not getting it.

Thankfully, I don't have to deal with financial aid, but I've heard there's horror stories of dealing with the admissions area

I'm too deep in the program now to switch schools so I'm finishing things out. The only reason I'm giving two stars is because I've had some pretty good instructors who have definitely helped me grow as a designer, and have pushed my work to continually get better. I just wish everything else about the facility was better.

It would also be great if there was a well-known, easy way for students to give feedback about all this stuff and the input would be reviewed and taken seriously by our administration. If there is a place to vent these kinds of issues, I know I'm not aware of it which probably means many of my other peers don't know either. Until then, here's the internet review/rant.
