Chicago State University

I chose to come here out of a quick decision, but now I regret it and wish that I had went back to community college and took more time to look at other schools. Before going here, I had an aunt who said that I shouldn't go here because most places don't offer jobs to Chicago State graduates. My aunt said the middle school she subs at turns down all jobs desired by Chicago State graduates. Well, I ignored what she said and registered here anyway. Now I'm rethinking if I should transfer to another school, and I think I will.

The demographics here are mostly Black. There are the occasional Asians and Whites who are mostly all foreign. The architecture of the school is really pretty. It seems like they're really trying to bring the school up aesthetically, but beautiful architecture doesn't help a school's rep. As soon as you step out of campus, it's pure filth. I wouldn't walk around this neighborhood during anytime of day. It's a "bad neighborhood." Mostly everyone that goes to this school is a commuter and I don't see how the kids who live in the dorms get out. There's nothing outside of the campus to do, but go buy liquor from the co-naH sto (corner store).

So, all in all, I would say that this school is for:

baby mommas (they offer daycare)

people over the age of 40 who are already settled in a career and desire degrees just because

getting a few "easy" courses out of the way to satisfy a degree at another school
