Seriously, I will always feel like I succeeded despite having gone here. The place is a joke and they totally chased away any of the good teachers that they had. Ms. Filippini was seriously the worst teacher I have EVER experienced - and I've got an advanced degree, so I've seen a lot. Who gives a class answers to a test beforehand as a study guide? What is the point? The shining gems of an otherwise useless building were: Mr. Virkus, Mr. Avery and Ms. Franson.

When our original daycare (Bright Horizons on Meacham) announced they were closing due to Motorola…read moreselling off part of their campus (and thus the new developer having no interest in keeping a daycare), I was devastated. Our daughter attended that daycare five days per week since she was 11 weeks old. It's no secret that it can be a terrifying process to find and trust a group of qualified, loving people to care for your tiny human. Fast forward a few months and no fewer than eight different daycare visits on my own accord, I am super happy to report that the Bright Horizons at the Chancellory is my daughter's new "school." She loves her class. She loves her teachers. She loves the mostly organic menu (I swear she eats much better than I do 90% of the time). She loves the fish tank in the foyer. She loves the playground and Movement Matters room (with yoga!). So, yeah, my kid has it pretty good. I pick up my daughter and the majority of the time she's has a great day. I see her learning new things, saying brand new words and generally being an awesome kid. Big props to the staff - including teachers Ms. Nicole, Janet, Corey and the admin staff Colleen and Laura. Thanks for making the transition as seamless as possible for both me and my daughter.

That's all I can say about that and as long as you know what amazing means we're good. Don't get distracted like I did by school numbers and ratings. If you are involved and engaged in your child's learning from the time they are born you will set them up to excel at this school.

Ok so update, i received another email from them so, as promised, Chamberlain story #1 I had an…read moreadvisor who had no idea how vaccines worked. My nearby clinic told me that it was insane when I asked if they could do three immunizations at once because my advisor would add weekly pressure on me thanks to a system called Complio. When I would try to reason with him, he would bully me questioning my intelligence pretending the phone lost signal for about five seconds which I assumed was to curse me out in his office without me hearing about it. I would get off the phone with him everytime he called just about in tears. It got so bad I had to switch advisors. About a year and a half later I call again to select classes. Now keep in mind that at their advising office, anyone can pick up the phone . He picks it up gives his little advising speech and then goes "am I speaking to Nolan?" I said yes you are and I was told that I'd have no further contact with you please transfer me to someone else. Which he does so but he had such a venomous anger when he said my name but still transferred the call albeit reluctantly. Chamberlain story 2, one semester I needed to hand out study guides for a course because our professor simply just didn't want to teach. He began the semester by acting as pathetic as he could be with a hang dog expression on his face telling the class "to help you to help me to help you." He went into some story about how the university is watching him closely this semester because all of his students from the previous semester failed by a technicality. The school was very limited in the study guides it would supply and professors were not allowed to deviate from the slides to provide a real world example. Any question on how the topic at hand applied to the outside world was met with pauses, blank stares and even some filler answers like "as your book says..." So, to help him help us I took the initiative to print out study guides on the concepts from Ed helper .com while this professor habitually went out for coffee at a nearby Starbucks dismissing the class 30 minutes early. Chamberlain Story 3 I hit a rough patch early on in the program, I started working at a hospital and lost two patients in the same week. I started having difficulty focusing in class and as a result my grades in a class started to plummet not significantly but just enough to warrant the schools early intervention from the department head. When I told him of the two traumatic losses he goes. "Well why don't you treat your class like a patient and try to save it instead of focusing on your trauma." Which isn't really something you say to someone. This was followed up with "Well I think what you are truly lacking here is resilience..." and I just remember leaving that conference call feeling worse than I went in. Chamberlain final story, I had a Professor who would openly belittle us when we didn't pass a test as my last course at this school. He would say things like "tsk tsk shameful." Or "What do you have to say for yourself?" Every time. Any complaint made would go out the window because the campus president was good friends with this professor. After having this happen for so long, I decided I could no longer take the abuse from this particular professor and withdrew the course finding out later that I was dismissed. I tried reinstating and their process involved an E meeting with several professors none of which I had before. They decided that I wasn't "serious" enough about my courses or that they felt I didn't have a strong study plan. The decision was unanimous that I was finished there. A couple days later, my advisor called me telling me to try to appeal to the campus president. I did this. Days went by while waiting. Finally on June 22nd 2022 I learned my fate that I was permanently dismissed. My advisor set me up to fail. Worst still, June 22nd was just one day before my birthday. I asked for no contact about one year afterwards when they sent me a patronizing email about sign up for classes now. I called them asked if they meant to send the email and they said well...no actually the ban still stands. I asked why they sent it and the phone representative very nonchalantly answered "I dunno." And that brings us to today the email from a third party on behalf of chamberlain to my current school's email. Since I left they've been on occasion harassing me and I honestly feel that I have parted ways with them. They are like a parasite to me that only bites when it needs nourishment and resides in the back always present biting down just enough to let you know that it's still there neither growing nor shriveling but still latching on no matter what. I hope this going public with my mistreatment is enough to get them to stop.

My experience with Chamberlain University has been deeply disappointing, largely due to their…read morefinancial aid practices, which feel misleading, disorganized, and stressful for students who depend on aid to continue their education. From the start, financial aid information has been unclear and inconsistent. Aid amounts change, balances fluctuate, and explanations are often vague or delayed. Students are left to constantly follow up just to understand what they owe and why. Communication between financial aid, billing, and advising feels disconnected, and it is incredibly difficult to get a straight answer. What is most troubling is that students are allowed to remain enrolled while financial aid issues are unresolved, only to later be hit with unexpected balances, holds, or threats of course disruption. This creates pressure and fear around continuing your education and feels like a tactic that places the financial burden entirely on the student. Instead of proactive guidance, the process feels reactive and transactional. Policies are quoted without being clearly explained, and support often feels scripted rather than student-centered. For a school that markets itself as supportive and accessible, the reality is that students must constantly advocate for themselves just to avoid financial fallout. I strongly advise prospective students to: Get everything in writing Track their account weekly Question every balance change Be prepared for financial aid issues to impact enrollment Chamberlain may work academically for some, but based on my experience, the financial aid system creates unnecessary stress and financial risk. I would not recommend this school to anyone who relies on financial aid without being fully prepared to fight for clarity and accountability.

DeVry University is Fantastic…read more Pros: Resources: - Skill port: Much like Udemy or SkillShare, DeVry lets you access courses outside of your curriculum for you to learn for those attending DeVry. - Tech Playground: Filled with Several Home Assistant Devices (Google Home, Alexa, Jibo), Unlimited 3d Printing for your class/personal Projects, Nice Cozy Couch (Should be plural), Adjustable lighting, Powerful PCs(includes gaming). Several different kinds of VR headsets. - EBooks: take it anytime, anywhere, any place. No need to carry around heavy back packs. Staff: - Admissions and Student Central: are extremely helpful and friendly. They can assist incoming and current students in a professional manner. - Instructors and Professors: are literally professionals in their perspective fields. I have yet to come across a professor who has background in which they haven't worked in the field. Every Professor I have taken will give you a bit of insight of what you will be dealing with once you hit the workforce. Student-Life: - Work and Study Balance: DeVry semesters are broken into 2 sessions. This allows you to take two classes for 8 weeks each session as opposed to 4 classes for 16 weeks. This will give you the ability to study and focus on the classes you take as opposed to juggling around 4 classes at the same time. At the same time, it will free up your schedule because you will only be dedicating 1-2 days to be in class as opposed to 2-4. - Senior Project: DeVry brings in companies for students to work on projects. Example: O'Hare P Fly with Butch increased Concessions by 30%. - Successful students: John Lohrentz: Won the U.S. Cyber Challenge (USCC) and was invited to the White House. Johnathon Cwick: Finalist for the Timmy Awards for "Best StartUp" for his fundraising platform: ShoppingGives. DeVry University Team at Performics: Won The Best In Show Award against hundreds of submissions across 51 countries. Online Courses: Allows you to take courses online if classes are full. Cons: These are just pet peeves: No dorms? There is an apartment complex not far from here. Work out a deal maybe? Senior Project should not just be for Seniors: I really love the senior project but I wish students can get involved at their Sophomore and Junior Years and work as assistants and testers. This would be a great learning environment for earlier year'd students, give the project managers of the group a bit more of a challenge gauging and balancing the students skills with their workload. There is always a need for testing when it comes to these projects and I think these students would be a perfect fit and it is an actual job in the field. Maybe I am just jealous. Home Alone Online: There should be more incentive to come into the building as opposed to online: Online courses should only be a last resort. When people are here, they communicate more and form bonds; it makes them want to stay enrolled, it also gives them an incentive to graduate. Online is great if you live far away from campus but if you can be here you should be here because it is awesome. Discussion Post: No one likes them, they are a chore as opposed to an assignment, they really do nothing for you. Want students and instructors to communicate together in topics that revolve around the class? Then require every class to have a group project. Students group up, they talk to each other and give each other tasks. If your listening Corporate, here is a challenge - find 1 person that loves the discussion posts. Moving to Virtual and Less Hands-on: I find it EXTREMELY concerning that DeVry might push their classes in which students build PCs and Set up routers, switches, etc. in a computer simulated program as opposed to actually building it physically in real life. I do not think it takes a genius to know and understand that Employers would probably choose someone who actually touched and work with the components physically over someone who has done it through software.

When I was considering this university, people I highly respected (but never attended their program) believed this is a great university. Their ads speak well of them. I had various former students, who graduated in the 1980s & 1990s who told me they could not get employment after graduating in their field of study and had to change careers / get additional training elsewhere. I learned these issues after graduation. The education in engineering is WORTHLESS because they are not ABET accredited school. In other words, employers ONLY HIRE ABET ACCREDITED GRADUATES. The problem was employment after graduation & student loan policies. I finished a Bachelor's Degree in engineering, BS Computer Engineering Technology in 2014. ADTalem Global Education, dba DeVry University, utilizes The Higher Learning Commission.org to procure student loans. DeVry would max out the student's credit for student loans. The tuition cost is based on their ability to get funding. In the first 2 years as a student, I was a cash paying student. I applied for student loans then dropped out. Unknown to me, they were able to get student loans. Instead of returning the unused funds, they increased my tuition / education costs for previous classes that were paid in full. Accounting education fraud. Their billing is so confusing because they are committing fraud. They sell fake health insurance policies. BEWARE
