This school is a joke, I have an associate degree and its going to take me at least 3 years at 6 classes a semester to graduate, its like community college all over again, go to school come home, no activities, no dorms, no life, its so stupid, the faculty is of ZERO help and leave you to fend for yourself to figure out your graduation requirements and most people graduate in 5 years,(some college huh). The school is surrounded by a cemetary.
Perceived Campus Safety: B, Useful Schoolwork: F

Professors (Readey, namely) are horrible and unfair. If you take classes with Finley or Prete, they are awesome.

It's a good deal if you don't care about a social life. The worst thing they ever did, though, was the school tried to go Div 1 in basketball (from Div 111), got killed, and embarrassed themselves for a couple of years. After suffering the worst loss in NCAA history in basketball to Oklahoma, the university decided to abolish all athletics, rather than return to Div 111 (where the school belongs). Now, the athletic facilities are unused and there is absolutely nothing to do there (although they have been trying to make up for it in fine arts). I don't think it's working though, and the school should bring back some Div 111 sports.... Academically, you will not find a better deal...good, solid faculty who all teach and are accessible. Not much of a college experience though, and a bad academic reputation (Northeasy). Cheap, not much fun, but much better than it's reputation.
Faculty Accessibility: A+, Social Life: F

I have a B.A. & M.A. in Communication, Media & Theatre from NEIU. (B.A. - 2004 & M.A. - 2007)

I LOVED my time there! I really miss working with the faculty and staff in the CMT department. Each member of the department treats you like a human being. You do not feel like a number; which is something you don't often find these days.

I feel like I was more than adequately supported (academically) by the faculty during my time in both programs. Honestly, not only were they a super fun group of people to work with and learn from, but more importantly, they gave me the tools (through class discussions and assignments) and encouragement to continue my education and to pursue the Ph.D.

The undergraduate and graduate programs, offered by the CMT department, will allow you the opportunity to engage in learning and interacting with a diverse student body. Both programs, especially the master's, will allow you to contribute your own thoughts and experiences as well. I know that the master's program helped me to grow in ways that I never thought I would or could. It is the best academic department within the University, and, if I had to do it all over again, I wouldn't change a thing!

Finally, as with any college/university campus, NEIU is not without its own political problems. There have been a lot of changes at NEIU within the past year -- and they all seem to be good. The University now has a new president, and I think there will be a lot of new and innovative things that will begin to appear now that a shift in administration has finally been made.
Education Quality: A+, Campus Aesthetics: C
