I went to the library for an interview I had. I was told I couldn't be there doing the interview,…read moreeven tho you have people there watching videos on their laptops and making unnecessary noise. They told me my noise wasn't allowed. Julie, the lady that told me said she was in charge and I had to leave. I asked why others can but I can't, and she refused to answer the question. I had everything in my headphones, so nothing could be heard by anyone there. She was nothing but rude and when asked who her boss was she wouldn't tell me. I had to call into the library and ask someone else to find out. She gave me a dirty look as I was walking out. Definitely don't feel welcome here as a Chicago ridge resident.

I'm on a quest to visit every branch of the Chicago Public Library system…read more This branch is pretty basic. There is a lot of natural light, which is really nice, and a lot of workspace. They have an extensive "Irish Collection." This shouldn't come as any surprise, but I did find it funny that it would be larger than the Chicago collection. The librarians seem okay, though not super friendly. The bathroom is kind of gross. Overall, an okay library.

This is a beautiful campus and an excellent good school, and yet I hear about a new problem every…read moreday from my son who started attending there. He was given an advisor who was on sabbatical. Their IT needs a complete overhaul. IT had to register him for classes because neither he nor his advisor could get into the system at the time. They signed him up for 2 classes at the same time. He has had frequent issues on campus with their wifi connection. He has documented proof that a paper has been submitted, through their own system but the professor doesn't receive it. They send campus emails to personal email addresses even though they inform students all emails will be sent through their campus email which in his case also happened to be his preferred email. The bookstore is listed as being open on Fridays but when he goes there to buy a book that he needs for a class he finds it closed because the staff is attending chapel.

Hey fellow Yelpers! I'm currently an employee at Saint Xavier University and about to reach my 1…read moreyear anniversary and have been loving it. I work in the Student Advising Center department and love the amazing team that I work with. We're all passionate & want to make sure students are set up for success and I hope the students can see that. Such beautiful campus! Be wary of the many geese that like to hangout on campus & squirrels in the trash cans lol. Benefits: They have really good benefits here at SXU such has good health insurance, 403(b), FREE graduate school at SXU (just need to pay some sort of fee each term/semester), professional development opportunities, you are able to teach TS-100: Transitions (1-credit course required for first-year students) only if you have a Master's degree, etc. I'm planning to start the MBA program this coming fall (Fall 2025) and I'm excited! Work Environment: The staff I've interacted with so far have always been friendly & welcoming whether that is my colleagues or fellow staff from various departments. Collaboration is always encouraged but rarely happens except for big events like first-year orientation known as ROAR (Registration, Orientarion, & Academic Readiness), ACSD (Advising & Career Success Day), etc. I'd love to have more opportunities to collaborate with various departments. Overall Experience: Overall, I've been loving & enjoying my time working here at SXU. Staff are friendly & welcoming! Most students tend to be understanding with the information shared with them by academic advisors and other staff members. I hope this review helps current & future students, staff, & faculty. Have an amazing day!

I love this school. My first son came here to Saint Xavier University and he dorm on campus. As a…read morenew freshmen he had a very beautiful welcomed ceremony with a barbecue too for everyone. He also had a dinner with the president. All staff is very polite. All students very well educAted and very friendly. Everyone here is happy to help you and show you around. Education here is top of the line. There is help every where you look. I am very glad my second son decided to transfer here as a Junior from all the other choices he had. Although I was not happy at all that this time around for transfer students they did not have a tour of the school. Unless you had to make request for that at the same day classes started. I am a happy parent over all. I was able to come and stay the first week and enjoyed The library. I believe in a good education and the code that this school offers. My prayers goes to all the students to succeed and continue their education and follow their dreams. In God We Trust.
