The overall experience was pretty good but shadowed by my expectations prior to my admittance. The best piece of advise i can offer a person deciding whether or not to attend DeVry is to not listen to the recruiters or statistics. As I am told the recruiters are paid commission for students they bring in that attend for 30 days. This makes them money motivated and not motivated to aid prospective students. My paticular recruiter for cleveland embelished many aspects to the point that they were almost blatently lying. For starters I began my degree believing the cet program was fully accredited, as that is what i was told. However, in about my fifth tri I found out from a professor that it would just be going up for accrediation that next trimester. The whole deal with the statistics thing is that boastful 94% placement rate that DeVry is always bragging about. Its all a matter of perspective. As I have been made aware by several honest professors placing a student at a job with Best Buy selling tvs is considered placing them in their field, seeing as how they are around electronics. This is hardly what people expect when they read that number and it is very misleading. I will say that the career service personnel who help you find a job are very friendly and very helpful, i.e. Brent Theaker(real cool guy), but the final say in you getting a job is your effort and experience. As for the professors most of them are very knowledgeable and helpful but there are several bad ones, my cet class even wrote and signed a petition to no avail, to try and get one fired due to a complete lack of teaching ability. But if youre looking for a good basic education Devry is not a bad start. You will learn alot if you apply yourself. I am amazed at what I now know and can do, I look at everything in terms of programming and electronics now. What the social life at DeVry lacks the social life on High Street near OSU makes up for, so dont worry just cuz no girls go to DeVry doesnt mean there arent any around. And student housing dont bother it is definitely overpriced youll pay the same to get one roommate share a 2 bedroom apartment and not have to share a room, or be burdened by the no drinking policy. As my last piece of input i would also like to comment about the term technology that looms at the end of several of DeVry's degrees. This is not told, as far as i know, to any recruits. The techology means that our degree lacks several classes from that of an official B.S. of whatever engineering. So if you plan on getting your masters in the same field after DeVry, you are gonna have to make up at least two semesters, probaly more, of gen eds, maths, sciences, and other classes. So if you have the cash to pay for the ever increasing DeVry tuition its not a bad shot. And if you have any questions feel free to ask me i will give you an honest answer, something you cant rely on a DeVry representative to give you. _email_removed_ (use this university email ends) |
