  The school is very diverse and a lower budget choice. I graduated from their science/education programs. I found my degree in Biology to be challenging and largely based on book memorization with occasional hands on experience. Their lab experience seemed dated compared to other institutions. This tends to be the nature of Biology, but I wouldn't say they excelled in making the experience amazing or poor.
  
  Their education program however was very lacking. It seemed out of touch with employers/districts needs. There was little to no focus on methodology, classroom management techniques other than case studies. These are the two most important skills needed in order to achieve student mastery. They did not model what they taught and I found many of their classes to be instructor led discussions about student based teaching. There was an immense amount of time spent on lesson plans and preparing portfolio's. While both are important record keeping practices, they should have been interwoven into a curriculum focused on skills based learning.

  If I can give this "school" 0 stars, I certainly would. As a freshman, this has been far the worst choice I could have ever decided to take. This "school" is one big SCAM. They charge us for the most dumbest things possible. Oh, and don't live on campus neither you'll hate it. Here's what they do, they trick you into living in the campus apartments. They tell us how nice things will be just later for the management team to do us so dirty. The RAs are horrible. I've had RAs flirt with me saying sexual things, coming into the apartment without notification etc. They changed our guest policy I am not allowed to have my family spend the night over when they want anymore, it's now only Fridays and Saturdays. This is not what I signed a lease for. This is not what I came out of my pocket for ($350) for my deposits. The managers literally SUCK they have had complaints about bed bugs and rats, yet no action has been taken. They charge us over 5k a semester just to be told what the hell to do. This upcoming semester will be 11K for the 2018-2019 year. Back to NEIU, the campus is extremely old and dirty. The bathrooms are nasty, the classrooms barely get cleaned we have to come into class cleaning.This school is over populated also. The professors are seriously a JOKE, I'm waiting for someone to pinch me because I have to be dreaming.When emailing them, they are very disrespectful. Just last week I emailed a teacher asking to meet with him if he had a open office hour he responded with "who are you and why" JUST LIKE THAT. They are extremely rude and very racist. The professors offer little to ANY support whatsoever. I registered for a class just to be told "I've stopped adding people". YET when another student which whom was not of COLOR registered a week later, she was added. I have not learned one thing attending here, all the classes are high school classes considering that I take 100 levels and up. I've had so many doors slammed in my face since I've been here. Financial Aid really breaks my heart because they're extremely rude. I've been told "whatever, I can't help you" "set up a payment plan or we will send you to the collections agency". I have no help in this place, Professors ans Advisers pick and choose who they want to help. I've had very bad issues prior to coming here but being in The Nest and attending NEIU has really made depression worst as to where I'm seeing a Therapist. Just getting out of bed for class is hard. Considering it's only my second semester, I should be enjoying things but unfortunately I have not. I've tried and tried with NEIU considering the graduation rate of 24%, I'm sure to be transferring very soon. If you value your education and most importantly your happiness, please pursue into another school. Enjoy your college experience, have fun, LEARN as much as you can, do you best. College should never make you want to commit suicide or be depressed, stress is fine but NEIU isn't the place. This is one big scam. Really do your research! -Thank you
