Nothing but love…read more Valpo taught me about life, love, myself, religion, the electric slide, roommates, oh...books...books too. Seriously, had a fantastic experience here. The community is warm, close-knit, and inviting; the professors are incredible; the Greek community is strong and has more depth than it probably does at bigger schools...I loved it. Also was able to get into a great law school after graduation.

Conference Review I…read morecame here for a conference in 2018. We were in the Harre Union, with some events in the chapel. The union was super shiny and seemed quite functional, and there was parking pretty close by. There was a reception one evening and the set up/bartending staff was very friendly. Dining hall was just ok, not a lot of options but what they had was good. Valparaiso as a city/town is pretty small, so nothing is really far away, which means that the university is fairly convenient to food/shopping/hotels. Wouldn't be excited to do another event here, but wouldn't be bummed either.

I am in a Masters Program at CCSJ. I have had a very good experience so far. The admissions process…read morewent smoothly. The business office is staffed with competent people. I often received emails that are tailored to me and not the entire student body. This is a fine level of service. On the academic end, the courses have been rigorous and the instructors have been very qualified and knowledgeable. They seem to be experts in their respective fields. Many schools have tenured professors who are out of touch with their own fields. The professors here seem to know their stuff. The "vertical" school as they term it is clean and modern. The parking lot is large so parking is not a hassle. There are nice areas for students to relax and food is available. Returning to the business aspect of higher education, I have a doctorate degree from another institution and that school was excellent. However, they were always very aggressive in collecting tuition and fees. Here the college works with the students and tends to avoid the threatening demand letters. Ultimately, the school has to get paid and you will not graduate without paying your balance. It's nice though that the school doesn't send out the goon squad because you haven't cut a check for a technology fee or overdue library book. I have about a year left here and I look forward to it. I would not hesitate to recommend Calumet College of Saint Joseph to anyway looking to further their education.

My program, Addictions Studies moved to Kennedy King College from Harold Washington College back in…read moreFall 2016, resulting in me transferring to this campus. Most of the classes I took on this campus pertained to the degree I pursued which were mostly social work, mental health and a child development class. Kennedy King College is a very relaxed environment and the classroom sizes are intimate which gives you opportunities to get to know your classmates and more time with the professors. The social work and mental health professors I have had are very knowledgeable because most still work in the fields they are teaching. And as semesters went by, I regularly found myself returning to old valid notes in realization of how amazing my social work, and mental health professors were in preparation. Most of the books we utilized were up-to-date with the books used at Chicago State University or Governor State University. As for the staff, I have not encountered many rude staff members. For the most part, the onse I have encountered are laid back and down to earth, but you still have the few that are not the friendliest. Like any other college campus you will have students that are not as serious in their studies in comparison to others, such as seeming like it is a high school reunion versus putting in the work in the library or computer lab to get studies done. Do not be the one! Get the work done and move on! If I can give any advice to any new students, I would say research the program you want to study and the classes you need to take that are part of it. And always make sure your FASFA is submitted prior to completing an application because it will make things somewhat smoother once you enter the campus. It will seem like a rough ride, but you will get the hang of the process, as far as where online to choose classes and once you visit campus who to see. The Veteran Services Center is nowhere near what I have experienced at Harold Washington College, but it is ok! I think that it is because Harold Washington College has more veterans on campus and younger versus Kennedy King College, so more work is put into the program. Other than that, I have not had any issues with my Post 911 nor Illinois Veterans Grant paperwork being submitted. Located on the campus is a pool, gym, and a cafeteria with reasonably priced foods, which I may have shared pictures of. I cannot speak about the pool, but the gym is very nice! It is equipped with enough workout stations that will assist you with staying fit during the semester. I loved working out in-between class because it helped me clear my mind going into class, plus relieved that the workout is done. All, the pool, gym, and cafeteria are located in the 'W' building. The college sits right outside of CTA Halsted and has a Divvy bike share, if that's your thing! There is also a huge parking lot, if you wish to drive to campus. Kennedy King College is not a bad school, however, the area may be sketchy during the evening hours, but I have not encountered anything crazy as of yet! I think many students avoid taking classes here due to the campus being in Englewood, but I assure you there is not anything to worry about, as long as you are not up to no good off campus you will have a great time at Kennedy King College.

I don't take kindly to people who dislike their jobs and takes it out on the very people they should be helping.

I really like how all of our instructors are certified and experienced veterinary technicians or DVMs and it makes me feel more comfortable being taught the real things that I will face in the future. I also really enjoy the privilege of hands-on learning. We have so many animals on campus that we are able to not only help, but learn as we help them. It is really rewarding taking care of such amazing animals here. The initial process of getting registered for the program was easier than I thought and the staff in admissions was extremely helpful! From helping me figure out financial aid, to the in depth explanation of the requirements of the program, I felt very confident in my career choice. It is clear that all the faculty members just want us to succeed. They offer so much help that is easily accessible and they even check in on everybody to see how they are doing in the program!

I wasn't sleeping and it was affecting my physical and mental health. You're forced to take 5 classes at once starting your second term- there is no going part time- PLUS kennel duty. And the accelerated pace left me overwhelmed. There is no time to prepare for tests. Plus there are tests that if you fail them, you fail the entire class and therefore the program. We weren't so much as warned about this before starting. There's at least a test a week in each class, hours of homework and/or studying every single night. The pay for being a vet tech is simply too low to put this kind of stress on students. I wish my grades could have transferred, but I'm glad to be out of that stressful place.

I am a happy and successful graduate of Reavis High. It offers more than just a place to fulfill…read moreyour pre-college requirements. It may not be the ideal place of higher educational accomplishments on your list of credits for those seeking some pencil pushing no talent work environment. But for those who know what they want, and are aware of the real world and it's requirements, it offers more than any Ivy League, high brow institution can even begin to. Personally I consider myself beyond successful with accomplishments acquired only through being taught what the real world is like and how to survive in it. I'm not knocking the brainy ones who have worked hard academically to achieve their respective degrees in their desired form of work, who may have also claimed Reavis as their Alma-mater. But I am here to defend the place where I got to realize, and learn, what I am capable of in order to survive in American society. From first grade on I never "fit in" to the accepted curriculum, and was "tolerated" at best, by the teaching community. Until I got into the halls of Reavis where the world opened up for me and I was not only with people of the real world, both student and teacher, but had choices no one knew were lurking in my little brain. I was opened to being able to express and expand the genius concealed inside what the academics said to my parents "Al does not belong here." It was taken as "this kid has a problem" not "He's too smart for this type school." Until I got to Reavis I struggled with fitting into the meaningless and unfruitful forms of education that was offered to the general community. At Reavis my life exploded into the word "opportunity". Yes I had to take what the educated of society told my parents I had to take as classes, but getting that out of the way as quickly and easily as I could I looked forward daily to attending first the basic industrial arts classes and then on to the real shop hands-on classes where I excelled. Where I learned from great men like Caroll Repasey and Bob Moser and others I can't remember at the moment, who could have made twice the money out in the real world. They had a desire and quest to teach those who were willing to learn what they needed to excel in the real world. Money was not the object for these men, as mentioned, they taught me "how to learn" not "what to learn". I can tell you from a lifelong experience with men who have accomplished the "how to learn" that conquering the physical world through "hands-on talent" and being confident in this sort of self knowing has a lot more to offer than book smarts alone. I admire and praise those with doctor's degrees and diplomas that proclaim their dedication to their chosen form of work, but Reavis High School claims more successful and self satisfied individuals because of it's dedication to the education of young adults than can ever be counted or tallied up. I hope and pray, for the sake of society, that Reavis has not changed it's curriculum.
