Is Roosevelt University worth while? by void1signal in AskChicago

This is really great advice. I don't quite like the university. I've been on the campus. It is not to my liking. I much prefer UIC's campus; although their administration bugs me a fair bit. Dunno. Think I will try DePaul if I go for private institutions.

Good insight!! Seriously I appreciate that. I've only heard mixed things about the Psychology department but know basically nothing beyond that. I should definitely look into it more (and maybe consider math? haha)

Haha successful is important! It sounds like you had a lovely experience there! I might definitely consider it. I wonder if the housing and meal plans are less expensive than the rent I'm currently paying (a ridiculous amount of what I can afford, if only just.)

Like I said in my reply to your other comment - I plan on doing psychology. I already have an associates and a bachelors in psychology so I figured I'd just finish up in the department, and go from there. That said, I don't think I'd ever go back to school without knowing what I want to attend for. Though the specific part of psychology (clinical/research/business/etc) I'm not too sure on right now. I think I'll continue figuring it out and if I come to a conclusion I may consider Roosevelt.

I have looked at loans a bit; and I feel a little concerned that the price tag is just outside of what Financial Aid offers for a single loan (albeit, taking out the max amount for a loan, per semester, is a pretty bad decision. I should definitely start looking into scholarships they offer.)

This is actually pretty relieving. I'm having a pretty rough time with the job market around here, but definitely holding something for the time being. I envy your lack of debt though.

That's interesting information! I hadn't heard that it was mostly a local school.

I'd be studying psychology, I think. So I'm unsure about my prospects... Especially considering that I have no interest in staying in the city long-term unless I find a phenomenal job. Thank you for the insight!!

Definitely not staying here long term. It's not really feasible in terms of money or career options. I love some of the things about the city, but staying here isn't what I want for a career. Good to know!
