I'm currently a graduate student at Saint Xavier University Chicago Campus and I would not reccommend their School Counseling Program to anyone. The faculty is rather small and consist of at least a good four professors. You may have one professor teaching three of the same clases offered during a particular semester, so if you're a full-time graduate student you may have to see the same professor for all three classes you're taking at that time. The professors not only teach, but they also advise the counseling students as well. This alone causes professors/advisors to bring their biases into the classroom. The program is very juvenile like, and the attendance policy is absurd. Most faculty only allows one excused absence, so if you get sick, if you have a family, or if you have a job, this program is not for you. If you are a working class adult and considering this program and your job is not within a ten mile radius of this school, you need not apply. This program is most suitable for privledged persons who may not have to work while in school, or younger adults who may have options of living with their parents while in school.

Education
The staff for the University are not helpful at all. Financial Aid could care less about you and provides little help with anything. If anything, they mess up your account more than do good for you. I have had more problems with Logging in to the portal and receiving Financial Aid/Billing help in the past year than I did through my entire undergraduate education. I would never recomment this school to anyone. Professors are pretty good, but I have had better ones at my undegrad. This school is not worth the headache.
