DeVry University Chicago Center

for profit school.

I used to work as an admissions advisor as Devry University. My heart breaks for the students of Devry. It is a scam in every sense of the word. First, any advisor that you have is hired as a salesperson. Every student who applies is known as an «app» and it is the so called advisor’s job to get you to go to school even if we know that student can’t and won’t finish the program. Second, as a student you are called terrible names behind your back by every staff member working at Devry. It is widely known by the staff members at Devry that the students are promised a job and tools they will need to succeed, but they will only get massive amounts of debt and wasted time. Do NOT attend this university and please warn others about Devry and their tactics to try and convince you to go. It is terrible and will only hurt and sometimes ruin your life.

This review says it was posted on 10÷25÷11 it was actually written in 2009 I’m sure they still suck!
If I could give this school less than one star I would! During orientation they seemed to be very interested they were always available for questions and I could always get ahold of someone.
After my first session during the summer I reached out to my «advisor» if that’s what you want to call him because I needed assistance with registering for classes, it took him about a month after several phone calls to get back to me and it was the week before classes started which meant I couldn’t attend that semester but I was able to register for the follwing session. As schooled neared I needed information that is usually online so that I could get tuition reimbursment from my employer again after several weeks of calling him AND ANOTHER ADVISOR school started and he finally called me a week into classes… and too late! Now the new semester just started a week or so ago and I’ve been calling my advisor, another advisor Dean of the school of business, dean of the school AND NO ANSWER, NO REPLY to emails NOTHING! I get emails though saying that I havent registered for classes but when I try to register it doesnt allow me to so classes started without me and once again I’m left in the cold prolonging my education. I wouldn’t recommend this school to ANYONE AND I MEAN JUST THAT THIS IS YOUR WARNING RUN RUN RUN FAR AWAY!
Once they get you, they forget about you reason is because advisors are also student recruiters and their job depends on the number of students they get to enroll, so after you enroll you’re no longer their concern they’re worried about keeping their jobs and who can blame them in this economy, just not my type of school I need an advisor when I have issues or need school guidance if you don’t need any of that this might be the school for you.

I recently went to an open house with a friend that decided to get an education here. It was nice, fairly well organized and I could easily see student graduating with something positive
