Roosevelt University

I can’t say enough good things about the Roosevelt University Family, and the admin and teaching staff in particular. I loved the Schaumburg campus and found loads of support and consideration for me being a working mom and full time student. The classes were excellent learning experiences and the guidance adviser, Jennifer H., was an invaluable resource all the years that I attended. If there was a major only offer in Chicago, they were very clear and direct about it and helped me work my goals and schedule to best suit. The night classes were at great times and the online offerings were often plentiful. I am happy to be graduating from Roosevelt University!

Attended all 4 years for the convenience of being in the suburbs. Many of the classes were at night, but not a lot of classes or flexibility. Guidance counselor a changed so much in the college of Ed that you pretty much had to make your own class decisions to figure everything out
Professors were not connected or understanding of students work and class schedules. The student teaching program was insensitive where the professor and Coe Op teacher made snide comments about students Personal appearance, and hair style, irreverent to teaching. One big fashion show.
Lastly, the school preaches social justice until it comes time for the bill, where they get harassing. Just… No. Go to another school where you are valued as a student and not a check book.

I thought it would be appropriate to review RU since I just graduated with my MBA from there. It seems as though most of the reviewers are coming from the PsyD program. My experience with RU has been totally different. I have felt welcome there since I stepped foot into the admissions office. You need to realize that Roosevelt is NOT a top school but is reputable. I came in with that knowledge.
For the most part, my professors were great. In fact, I felt that they were more engaged with the students and more passionate abut their subjects than my undergrad professors (a large Chicago-​area state school). The curriculum was consistent, but I did have a couple rogue professors. Did it get the job done? Yes. Did I learn something? Yes.
MBA programs should not be entered lightly, but I would recommend RU for a working professional looking for a reasonably priced program. Class times were mostly at night and there were Saturday options as well.

Very expensive for the learning experience. Graduated from there and wasnt happy with curriculum and the education I received. They never had a consistent education plan.

I’m sad to say I have only negatives to say about the Roosevelt Schaumburg campus. I understand some programs are better than others. For the accounting program, I would absolutely not recommend them.
I’ve wasted over $ 40,000 on horrible class schedules (only offer one of each class per semester and only at night – many of them on the SAME night and same time) and the worst teachers I’ve ever encountered. The old, crotchety accounting teachers that taught all my classes merely read from a PowerPoint every class and offered nothing else – I wish I didn’t pay $ 699.00 a credit hour to have to teach myself :(
The Schaumburg campus offers nothing to the student, yet we still have to pay well over $ 25,000 a year… with no true benefits. No quality education. On top of that, it’s extremely difficult to get any office department to respond to you and I’ve had way too many problems to list.
Please save yourself and find a different school, at least if you’re looking into going into a business major. It’s tempting since the Schaumburg campus is conveniently located. IT IS NOT WORTH IT.

I got my bachelor’s degree from Roosevelt University and took majority of my courses at the Schaumburg campus. The teacher’s are good, hence the 2 stars, but I had some big problems with the counselors. I had to switch 3 different times because they kept giving me the wrong schedule. They didn’t have a clue about the required courses for my degree (it was Psychology) and so they kept steering me in the wrong direction. In the end they cost me thousands of dollars in unnecessary courses not to mention the wasted time for classes I didn’t even need.

I just received my MS in HRM from Roosevelt University. The overwhelming majority of my classes were in the evenings at the Robin Campus in Schaumburg. The professors that I had were knowledgeable and the vast majority were very helpful as well. The in class experience was exceptional and I gained remarkable insights from the professors and other students. Overall it was a fantastic experience. The Schaumburg Campus was clean, beautiful and I always felt safe there.

This place is not worth the money you pay.
I was in the counseling program and in the end I DON’T believe or feel most psychology/​social work position are needed. The «learning» and THEORIES are just THEORIES NOT LAWS that always work, thus the field is a SHAM. I feel I’ve learned some valuable things from a few professors, but most of the teachers are quite lame or just weighed down with the several positions they have so they can’t be effective. Their program is ridiculous and a mess in many ways. I would go to a public university if I could go back and reneg on my decision.

I am a full time student at the Schaumburg campus, I have yet to compute to the Chicago campus. but will have to one day due to the lack of day classes the Schaumburg campus offers. That is the downside, I don’t want to be a full night time student. Once you start to get into your major you won’t have a choice. The majority of the professors are older; and there is nothing wrong with that… however, I have found that many of them are stuck in their ways and a tad bit cocky. They need to bring in more real life experiences are vary the information based on the students. Stop teaching the same material, semester after semester w/​no variety… Overall, it’s been a good experience and I have my favorites. ;) We all do.
I like that fact that it’s in the suburbs, it allows me to be a full time student while always being a full time mom. But I am worried that if they don’t start to offer more day classes, it will be a long road until I finish. :(

I graduated with my MBA from the Schaumburg campus about a year ago. For the most part instructors were great and class sizes were just right. There was a ton of class interaction and I gained lots of practical knowledge from my classmates.
I also utilized the career center while I was there. They were very friendly and helpful. Although I didn’t find a job using them the personality profiles and other advice they gave helped to direct me better in my career path.
Finally the class time couldn’t have been more convenient. That was the biggest plus to attending this campus. I never had a problem getting the classes I wanted at the times I wanted and finishing a timely manner was not a problem.
