Lewis does indeed have an idyllic campus, with some of the best faculty to ever facilitate…read moreeducation. At Christmas every year, Lewis sends out fabulous cards to anybody with even a remote connection to the university, on very nice 120 pound card stock. Lewis also is at best capricious and at worst extremely inconsistent as to whom, as an administration, it favors, and whom it does not. Lewis is run by the Christian Brothers, also known as the Lasallians. Lasallians are supposed to base their educational methods on five principles rooted in Catholic values and virtues. That does not seem to hold true for the Lasallians at Lewis, and the administration hired to represent them. Sixty-three to sixty-five percent of the faculty at Lewis is composed of adjunct, or part-time, faculty. To be an adjunct means to not only have expertise as an academician, but the skills to be an expert in the corporate, commercial, industrial world where most of us reside. It also means only thirty-five to thirty-seven percent of the faculty is full-time staff. Even less than that are tenured. An adjunct faculty member of Lewis recently died. This person taught at Lewis for twenty years. The professor's classes were well-attended, and most students appreciated the professor's efforts. The faculty member taught anywhere from three to five classes a semester, what elsewhere would constitute a full class load. This person went to the annual adjunct dinner, as well as volunteered for May Institute, seminars, convocations, and panels. When this adjunct could no longer drive to Lewis, the individual took it upon himself two days a week to get up extremely early, take Metra into the Loop, to be on time for the Lewis bus to the main campus. Lewis's official answer to the adjunct faculty member's death was a copier paper sheet sent to the family in condolence, on which had been copied a Scripture verse, and the heading, "On behalf of the Brothers of the LaSalle Community, I want to extend our deepest sympathies..." That's it. No benefit, no remembrance of any kind. A few individual colleagues took the time to offer Masses, call, attend the visitation. Not the Christian Brothers, and not the administration that represents them. There are other examples that Lewis is not the Catholic university you would think it is. Look for these before you commit to attendance, or send your child to attend, Lewis. Do your own research. Find out how safe the dormitories really are. Look for the location of the chapel, and find the story on the conversion of what was once the chapel into a venue for luncheons and special events. And let's not forget cancelled Winter Commencement 2018 over a few cases of mumps that could have been quarantined- and don't try to ask why the immunization regulations were not enforced. Examine what you will receive for paying sixty-seven to eighty percent more than a public school, particularly for general education credits easily obtained at the local community college for thirty-three percent of the price of tuition at Lewis. And if nothing else convinces you to look elsewhere, remember that the majority of the professors who will teach you or your child are adjuncts, people skilled in both the classroom and the real world. And remember how Lewis treats those valuable, skilled people. Badly, at best.

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.
