    Tips for prospective students

    Make sure you ask questions when you need help. You can use the Q&A, email the professor or call during business hours. If you're having a problem with financial and contact a student support advisor or someone from the financial department, they'll help with any questions you have.

    DeVry University have a staff full of amazing professors, and financial and student support advisers. At DVU all staff members want to see you succeed. I would recommend DVU to anyone looking for a college online or on campus.

    Academic Rigor

    It it pretty mellow. If you put In work its an Easy A. Instructors will work with you. They main thing is getting something out of the courses on your own. Sometimes this prepares you better, sometimes it does not. The online portion is well made; I think this school could compete with others as a skills enhancement school businesses could send there employees to.
    Tips for prospective students

    Get a Pell grant, scholarship or some other type of aide. This is not a school to be getting a Loan with. If you are already employed and want some leverage to move up, this is better for you.

    Price is on Par with many private schools but the education not so much. Good for people already working or people who just want to enhance their skills. Excellent online format;other schools should take note.

    Tips for prospective students

    Devry University was the worse mistake that ANYONE could EVER make. None of their people know what they're talking about, and everyone gives you a different answer on the "facts". I was enrolled at Devry University from May 2015 to Sept 2015. It didn't take long for me to understand how manipulative and trifling these people are. When I was first enrolled, I was given a call by the director of admissions in Chesapeake (although I signed up to be an online student) who suggested that I make their campus my primary contact so that I can have an easier reach to someone incase I had a problem with anything. Of course, I said yes. What she was really saying was that she was making me an at campus student. Because I was unaware of that, I was charged $200 for healthcare (even though I already have healthcare). When I called to see why I was charged I was told that someone switched me from online (which is what my application said) to on campus and that all they could do is change me back for the next semester. When I got enrolled into my classes, I was given a financial award that I had to sit on the phone and discuss. It included corporate discounts, scholarships, and loans. I was instructed to sign my financial award. I was given a refund. AFTER ISSUING ME A REFUND AND WITHOUT NOTICE, DEVRY REMOVED MY TUITION DISCOUNT. So even though my financial aid rep told me that I was cleared with a $0 balance at the end of the quarter, between the health insurance and discount being removed I ended the quarter OWING DEVRY $500. I asked why my discount was removed and the first two people I talked to said that it could only be removed if I asked them to remove it. It wasn't until the 3rd person, at the beginning of my 3rd quarter, that I found out that you couldn't have a discount and a scholarship from Devry at the same time. There was nothing that they could do about it. At that point, now owing Devry another $300 and with the removal of my scholarship (that was supposed to be annually reviewed as opposed to quarterly reviewed) I decided that I wanted to withdraw. I withdrew, as per my student portal, on 10/19/16 however it shows in their system that I withdrew on 11/23/16 (a whole month later). They only credited me from 11/23 until the end of the quarter. Now that I found a reputable decent only college to attend, Devry is holding me up with $2300 in charges in which no one on their end can explain how I am responsible for these charges. Devry is insanity, it will drive you crazy, and waste your time. WHATEVER YOU DO, DO NOT GO TO DEVRY UNIVERSITY!!!

    Campus Safety

    You need a id card to enter the campus as well as other places inside campus. Also security is walking around especially doing late hours, I always see him pass my class after 8.
    Clubs and Activities

    It is not very many clubs on Long Beach campus however I attend MAGE which is very fun.
    Food and Dining

    The food on Long Beach campus is okay. However, the dinning area is better, a few flat screen T.V.s and plug outlets at every seat.
    Dorm Life

    No Dorm but very nice outside. In the back of the school there is a patio where you can watch planes take off and land. Sometime when I have a long day I go outside and watch the planes.
    Academic Rigor

    It is pretty simple you must receive 80% in order to move to next section in your class. Your class is online so you can choose to go to class once a week to get that one on one help. I like it this way because if you fall behind you can get the help you need and find out what you need help with.
    In three sentences

    I really like this school because of how small the classes are, I am able to get one on one attention in class as well as on campus tutors. Students are very helpful and computers are there when need. All the tools are there to help you graduate and that is all I need in order to earn my degree.

    Although some people think online-classes are easy, my experience has taught me the opposite. There is extensive individually reading that needs to be completed and you are required to join in the online discussions. Introverts will not like this way of being taught.

    If only taking online courses, be strict with your time management. Don't let things get away from you. Keep a visual calendar to remind you of important dates and due dates.

    Great for these types of students

    You want to work hard, study hard, and already have a full-time day job that takes up most of your life. The school incorporates a hefty amount of online work as well as (if desired) in-class lectures from professionals in the field (business owners, accountants, psychologists, programmers, engineers, authors). You don't want anything more from a school besides a degree, and you want it now.
    Bang for the buck

    I think that with its scholarships, acceptance of military and financial aide, as well as openness to giving paid internships, DeVry is a great value for the cost.
    What to do for fun

    Anything else you would in your town -- you are not restricted by location or dorms.
    Food and Dining

    There is a tiny cafeteria with vending machines, which are reasonably priced and accept debit/credit.
    Dorm Life

    There are no dorms on my campus. One campus in California has dorms, but I am in Columbus, Ohio.
    Academic Rigor

    The school piles on the academics to get you in and out, getting that oh-so-important piece of paper and few lines on a resume. If this is what you want, come on down. I couldn't see myself in any other situation.
    Tips for prospective students

    There are very few extracurricular activities sanctioned by the school. Come here to work hard and fast, and kick-start your degree with their all-year program for an Associate, Bachelor, or even Master's degree.
    In three sentences

    DeVry has all that I ask for in a college. The academics are laid out in full for the students, the career services are almost in-your-face about getting a paid internship for those unemployed, and the technology in the school is superb. The best part about the school is what it doesn't have -- thousands upon thousands of students cramming into lecture halls by the hundreds.

    Campus Safety

    A security guard is always on duty but the campus is small so it's less likely for anything to go wrong. DeVry also issues ID's for students but it has not been greatly reinforced at the Paramus campus.
    Great for these types of students

    If you live in Paramus, Paterson or surrounding areas this location is easily assessable and small for those who prefer that kind of atmosphere. But if you like the college campus life-style, New Brunswick is the place to be.
    What to do for fun

    This campus does not provide any fun activities besides a ping-pong table in the minor relaxing/recreational area (where the vending machine is located). Sometimes this campus has move nights, pizza nights and themed parties for students (i.e halloween, christmas, etc).
    Food and Dining

    Paramus campus has a snack machine and a Keurig single serve machine. Next to the campus there is a Chipotles and on the lot is a shopping center that has a Starbucks.
    Dorm Life

    I do not use the dormitory so this information is non-usable.
    Academic Rigor

    I rated DeVry's academic rigor as a 5 out of 5 due solemnly to the fact that the classes are hybrids so you have classwork, homework that is done online, quizzes that are online and discussions. Requirements for postings are 3 separate days; first post needs to be done by or before Wednesday. Sometimes all this can be tough on someone who has a chronic condition, a family or a job that they need to focus time on as well.
    Tips for prospective students

    When planning on going to DeVry be sure to always stay focused on your classes and ask questions when necessary! Most if not all classes are hybrids; you come to class but also have discussions online. Sometimes certain classes can be easy to fall behind if you miss a day.
    In three sentences

    Get as much done in the beginning of the week as you can.
    In three sentences

    DeVry is a decent school to go to but, I have accrued a lot of debt to go there. I think the cost is excessive since the classes are made up beforehand (all the professors have to do is grade your work and follow the set up curriculum). I do enjoy the flexibility it gives me to take care of my daughter and work full time.

    While it's an expensive degree, there is no max on education. If this is what you love you will thrive in the industry. Period. You can wait to be accepted to a school or study hard pass your entrance exam and be on your way to being a LPN, RN, Pharmacy Tech even a Veterinary Tech. Money can't be the basis of a lifelong passion to succeed. Debt can be paid off when you love what you do for a living that is prosperous.

    From what I can tell, DeVry is pretty flexible. The flexibility varies from instructor to instructor, but as long as the instructors are aware of a situation (emergency), they are flexible and willing to work with you.
    Tips for prospective students

    I would suggest that all prospective students stay on top of the coursework and discussions, if you're attending online. Stay in contact with your coach because if you think you can't, they will work with you to find the resources needed so that YOU CAN. I feel like the people I have talked to want me to succeed just as much as I want to succeed. If there is something going on, personal or academically, just talk with your coach and they will guide you in the right direction.

    The staff at DeVry has been very encouraging and helpful. I speak to a coach weekly who inquires about things to make sure I am staying focused and not too overwhelmed. Everyone that I have spoken with at DeVry has been very helpful and willing to go the extra mile.

    DeVry is a satisfying place for returning students that wish to continue their education. The classrooms are smaller and cater to the needs of a student that is older and may have more responsibilities than a younger student.

    It is very expensive, but I feel well worth it. The professors are there for you and it really shows. If you fail its because you've failed yourself. Every faculty memeber I've met is willing to give you there time and attention.
    What to do for fun

    I was amazed to find out they had so many events and clubs. I am actually going to go to my first IEEE meeting today. They also have fun things like gaming competitions, and neighbohood interactions. I know it's nerdy but I spend a lot of in the computer lab.

    The blended learning system is a bit hectic at times, but for the most part if you focus everything you need is available. I'd recommend 2-3 hours 2-3 days a week and maybe a full day to let it soak in. All the teachers are there for you and they have plenty of study groups and tutors available 5 days a week.
    Tips for prospective students

    It is expesnsive but the one on one time available is hands down the best. Be prepared to strap down yourself with the blended learning they offer. If you need help go for it, they have sooooo many people willing to spend time with you.

    I graduated over 10 years ago, so I was hesitant to go back to school. As cheesy as it sounds every faculty member has made Devry like home. They really seem to care and do it for the love of teaching

    This University has a great team of advisors in every department that is assigned to to you at the time of admissions. As a student I have no concern with how my education degree plan is handled or my financial aid. I am usually hands on with laying out my classes and the times I want to to take my classes my team of advisors have made everything so easy for me that I no longer need to worry with that. I now can just focus on my classroom work, grades, and attendance and let my team handle the rest. I also have a coach I speak with once a month. My coach is great along with the team of advisors I have that extra encouragement to get through my degree plan.

    Academic Rigor

    This college is not stressful if you keep your end of the bargain. This is a school, and you need to be able to leave knowing that you earned your GPA. I would advise you to take a day of the week and make it your school day. Nothing but school assignments, and school focus just for that one day. You may still work during the other days of the week, but keep one day dedicated to school. The hard work will pay off.
    Tips for prospective students

    Pay attention to your assignment deadlines, and post as many discussions as possible, not just the minimum. These are so easy to earn, and they add up to a major chunk of your final grade. Do not wait until the last day of finals to try to take the final exam, because so many others do, and you could experience technical issues. Start your assignments early in the week, because by then most students will have posted their answers on the discussions and you will be struggling to catch up and read others opinions. If you are having a stressful week and forget to post in the discussions, you will get a friendly reminder to log in and participate from your academic adviser.

    Good quality student care, the staff is beyond helpful both online and in person. The professors will work with you in case of emergencies, like my grandmothers' unexpected death.

    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    I wouldn't call this unusual but the DeVry faculty students are out helping the community and voluntering to help out where ever needed. A couple of examples of this is that they help out with the Special Olympics and Toys for Tots.
    Bang for the buck

    The cost of the school is pretty even for what they teach you, the credit hour cost is competative with other colleges in the area. You can find some of those smaller schools that cost less per credit hour, but what you have to look at is the amount of credits needed to graduate from the school. I went to a school that was $175 a credit hour less then DeVry, but th school required a hundred credits to get an Associates degree. So when you do the math DeVry was about the same for a Bahcelors degree.
    What to do for fun

    The administration have activites that the students can go do at least once a month if not more. They do things like go bowling, laser tag, ball games, cook outs and other various things on campus.
    Food and Dining

    I don't eat at the cafateria that much, so I not best person to ask about the food. But from what I here from my friends and the faculty the food is good and they would rather eat there, rather than most of the restaurants around there.
    Dorm Life

    I can't really comment on dorm life, because I live off campus.
    Academic Rigor

    The classes here can be challenging if you don't stay up with your work. But the hard work you put in during the semester will be worth it when the time comes to take the final. The help of the profeesors makes geting the work done doable if you do get behind though.
    Tips for prospective students

    The main thing that I would advise students planning on going to DeVry or any type of schooling is to make your class work a priority. I have watched entirely to many people not do so and fail classes. I had a gentleman in my class that had an A in the class up untill the midway point. He then decided video games where more important than class work and ended up failing the class. The next thing I would say is don't get down on yourself if your having trouble in class. Talk to the professor and get the help you need and fight your way through it.
    In three sentences

    I have learned a lot while at DeVry university and have enjoyed the experiance. he professors and the administrative staff all seem to care about you and your education. The professors don't hesitate to help you with any questions that you my have and make it easy to contact them if you have any questions.

    If you are having issues or need assistance, try to be as specific as possible. Also be sure to stay on top of them and follow up when someone needs to call you and talk to you. You have to be proactive if you want to succeed - nobody is going to hold your hand to help you through anything.

    Great way to finish school faster or at your own pace, FOR A COST. Not really the best when you have need help with more specific questions, as this can vary depending on how knowledgeable your professor is.

    I would suggest joining any clubs or extracurricular activities. I'm personally doing online schooling, so I don't quite know what the campuses offer. They are located in many different states and I'm sure there's plenty of fun things to do at any campus you attend.

    Academic Rigor

    I personally don't find the work too challenging, it's just the amount of time I spend doing it. You have to use a lot of thinking and do a lot of reading to make sure you get the most out of your class.
    Tips for prospective students

    I would say make sure you take plenty of notes and leave a few hours of study time each week. If you choose to do online classes, make a time management schedule that your friends and family know about. By doing this, no one will interrupt you or try to make plans until after your few hours everyday. Lastly, don't fall behind and read everything the teachers ask you to!

    DeVry University's staff is extremely helpful and are constantly there when you need them. The school keeps you up to date with notices, disclosures, and registering for new classes. The teachers are also only a phone call or email away.

    Campus Safety

    I feel like the campus is safe so far. There is a security guard on site at the South campus after 6pm and at the downtown campus it���¢��������s in a business building that already has its own security, so I really don't think there are any problems.
    Clubs and Activities

    I'm not quite to sure about what all they have for clubs and activities, but I do know they pretty much start any activity/club they want if suggested.
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    The best place I feel to be when on South campus is the commons because you have a small kitchen and vending machines if you want to eat. They have a pool table and I have seen guys and girls playing video games, but I just haven't experienced that from myself yet.
    What to do for fun

    Really anything you want to,your not tied down!
    Food and Dining

    Whatever tickles your fancy. There are some restaurants around town that you can choose from or there are the good old vending machines in the Commons area.

    Really there is no dorm life. You can live in a nearby apartment or you can travel back and forth from your own house/parents���¢�������� house to school every day.
    Academic Rigor

    I'm not exactly in the classes for my program right now, but in every class you have discussion questions that you have to post on 3 times and 3 different days. English classes are the most rigor because you have a paper every week due and for me I hate writing papers.
    Tips for prospective students

    The only real tip for prospective students would be to make sure you study hard and get the homework in every week.

    So, far Devry University is the best decision I've made yet. The teachers are knowledgeable in their field of study and the class can be big, but the majority of them are not that big. The best part is I can either go to the downtown or South campus for classes.

The only way you can get this feature is if your course provides it and most do. However, you have to pay $10 out of your own personal credit card and the mail man delivers it to your mailbox with 5-10 days.

    If you want to get in and get out as soon as possible this is the right place for you. Be aware that some people can get burned out if they do more play than work, but it depends on the person.

    Anxiety, panic, social phobia, or simply very busy and balancing a life. These are most of the common reason I have found success in students that chose online educations.
    Bang for the buck

    Online class is the reason I switched to Devry from my University Career. I became overwhelmed after two miscarriages and found my GPA plummeting. I am easing back into my studies with determination and making sure that I have a solid education, for me and my situation, my best success will be from an online education. This makes Devry... priceless to my life.

    Find a break task that is balancing by both occupying your focus and brief in time consumption. This way when you take a bit to refocus your mind is distracted fully from your studies, yet does not require more or less time than you are wanting to pull away from your work. When you return to your work, your break task should have completely eased you and not taken up too much time. Puzzles, games, sitcom shows that are pre-recorded are amazing for quick and effective breaks.

    Tips for prospective students

    Openly ask all questions that cross your mind, there is no over preparing for an online experience and the staff and advisers are happy to work at your pace in getting you to a comfortable confident start in your studies. No matter how insignificant it may seem or fleeting of the moment, ask the questions that run through your mind. Make sure you are comfortable in every aspect from knowing your schedule to navigating your student portal before classes begin. This way the only issues you come across will be finishing assignments and research instead of wasting your time asking a question that you find later, you desperately need the answer to.

    Academic Rigor

    Instead of 16 weeks semesters, we have 8 week sessions going all year round. A lot of material is covered, but the professors help you get through. Takes adjusting, but is easier than you'd think to get into a rhythm of balancing school work and classes.
    Tips for prospective students

    Use online and campus sources to your advantage. Always ask for help regarding devryu navigation and uses. Make friends, you'll see them often.
    In three sentences

    Teachers who know what they're doing and can help you at a moments notice. A tight knit community where you know many people you see and love to help each other out. A small campus where everything is reachable.

    My advice to prospective students is study hard. If you don't understand something don't be afraid to speak out. These professors are there to help, and if they don't succeed, you cannot blame them because you did not speak out. I am a online student, and I can only speak for my experience online, but I would encourage any student that is disciplined to try taking course online.

So far my professors do not act like you should already know the material.
    Tips for prospective students

    Be prepared to work in the classes. This school is not for the lazy. But if you are willing to work the professors will help you every step of the way. Do not be afraid to contact professors even if you are taking classes on line. this can mean the difference in passing with good grades and good understanding of the material or just barely passing. As soon as you start having a problem get help or you might never catch up.

    Food and Dining

    Since I am using the online program, I can not say for sure what the cafeterias or other dining facilities are like. I give this advice though...if you are able to cook in your dorm or apartment, get your groceries, and avoid the fast food places as a place to eat since it is more expensive to eat out than it is to make your meal at home. You would save money in the long run eating at the apartment/dorm than eating in any resturant.
    Dorm Life

    I am enrolled through the online program. I cannot tell you how the dorm life is like, however if you are a Christian, be plugged into the local church at the particular campus to keep you grounded in God's Word. For anybody else, don't use this as a way to party hardy and barely get by academically, there are enough colleges that are that way. Make the most of your time at school and be proficient in your degree.
    Academic Rigor

    I think the classes here at Devry will be very challenging and thorough. If the classes here were easy, the degree that you would be studying for wouldn't be worth the piece of paper that it was printed on. Study hard and you will find it rewarding when the course is completed.
    Tips for prospective students

    My advice to the prospective students is to apply for any and all scholarships that are currently available. If you are in the military get the G.I. Bill to help pay for the courses, and any National Guardsmen, apply for your state tuition assistance through your unit to get its benefits. As far as paperwork is concerned, if you have filed for your taxes, get it out since the college will be asking for information from that filing.
    In three sentences

    I rate DeVry University a scale from 0-10 a 9 for the very personal help the staff has given me to help setup my future classes. I really appreciated the Financial Advisor, Admissions Staff who were friendly and were happy to answer any questions that I had on my mind. This university had a degree program that I had desired and many other colleges just didn't have the degree that I was looking for.

In addition you receive great training in class and with the blended online courses you also get access to all your lectures, books , assignments , and other documents that can help make the course easier for you to understand. In addition since the classes are small everyone really gets to know each other and work together towards success.

    Campus Safety

    I don't feel that this campus is really safe because anybody can just walk into DeVry and nobody will be able to tell if they go to the school or don't. All you have to do is walk through the door and you can roam the school as you please. Although we are right across the street from a police station I don't believe that if anything happens they will be able to come and help fast.
    Greek Life

    There is no Greek life here at DeVry. I wish there was but being a high school student we probably would not be able to join.
    Clubs and Activities

    There are no clubs and activities that can be done at DeVry there was a basketball team but I'm not even sure if that still exists because the coach left.
    Great for these types of students

    DeVry is for students that really want get into the field of something with computers because DeVry is a technology school. I will not say that I didn't make the right choice by coming to DeVry but I feel that things are different then I pictured.
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    There aren't really any unusual traditions the only thing that happens around DeVry is that every time we start a new course we get student appreciation week where we get pizza. There is always food at DeVry for something and that's one things I know that us students really enjoy.
    What to do for fun

    For fun at DeVry its nothing that we can do because there is no activities that we can be involved in. So what we do for fun is create it ourselves. At DeVry you have to learn to make your own fun by making plans with friends or just talking and laughing when it comes down to staying on campus for lunch. Before school and after school is usually the most fun because that's when we get to talk and play around.
    Food and Dining

    There is a little cafe down stairs and they have some pretty good food but when it comes down to the little pastries that are there some people have had certain issues such as molded food.
    Dorm Life

    I'm not sure about the dorms because by me being a high school student as well as a college student I don't have access to the dorms. I have heard by a few college students that the dorms are nice.
    Academic Rigor

    I feel that the academic rigor is challenging sometimes but it also depends on what type of student you are. If you are a student that doesn't really like doing work then coming to DeVry isn't for you. If you are a student that has no trouble meeting deadlines then DeVry is perfect for you.
    Tips for prospective students

    Coming into DeVry don't expect any hand outs because there will not be any. Make sure you stay on top of your work because if you don't it will be really difficult to try and catch up. There are only 8 weeks for you to complete your work so you have to make sure that every week you are completing work and turning it into teachers. Also always try to make your deadlines and if you can't make sure you inform your teachers.
    In three sentences

    Being at DeVry University isn't exactly what I thought it would be but I learned a few things about what it's like to be a college student. I also feel personally that being at DeVry really isn't the full college experience because of the way my schedule is set up. As far as how we as students are treated I feel that the way we are treated can be improved.

    Compared to other colleges/universities I have encountered, DeVry is consistent, reliable, honorable, honest, forthcoming, compassionate, cooperative, attentive, and communicates a casual manner with a professional attitude. Guidance counselors never push me in any direction, they listen intently, and offer a reasonable array of options so that I can make a sound judgment regarding what is best for my future, and not what DeVry thinks is best for my future. The teaching faculty is empathetic and human, not robotic nor detached in anyway.

I ask many questions in class and simply stay on point with end-dates. This strategy reflects that I am a very good learner; much different than the respect and opinion I held for the academic world prior to DeVry.

    Aside from procrastination, succumbing to fear is your only enemy. Never be afraid to ask a question. Too often have I witnessed apprehensive classmates, only to find their question was on many classmates' minds. As long as you are willing to step outside of your comfort zone, will DeVry be able to assist you and help you accelerate and rise to a higher standard; a better version of yourself.

    They force you to introduce yourself in these paragraph blurbs each class. You don't get credit for it towards your grade, but you're still required to do it. Tip: Just write one good one out about yourself and save it. After 3 years, I'm really sick of saying the same thing every new class.

    DeVry University is a great school for those who simply don't have time to sit down in a classroom, or for those who would like to mix online and in-classroom studies.

    I don't mind watching the kids play Magic the Gathering, to be honest it is fun to play. The library is really big, it is two floors. Going in to read in a nice quiet place is calming and needed I think. You could even use your laptop with some wifi that the school provides. It may seem very little but you have options and you could do as you like with your time that you have. To each his own, personally I would be surfing the web but my laptop broke so off to the library I go. Books can also provide a gentle escape when needed.
    Food and Dining

    It's not bad for the price, when you need a quick bite they have like 50 cent brownies. They have other sandwiches not all the same which is a good thing. The area isn't small at all, very spacious, and nice tables. The people who work there are nice and smile alot. The feeling of being welcomed is nice. I also notice that they let people use the cafe for organizing card games. Now just to clarify it not gambling.
    Tips for prospective students

    Take it easy not everyone can just go in at from high school. Took me a while to change, to be ready, not saying I was bad or anything but I could say I see the world in a different aspect.

    Non-traditional. Those already working or returning to school.
    Bang for the buck

    There may be schools out there that are a little cheaper, but if you stick to it and make the counselors realize you are not just wasting time they will bend over backward to make your financial aid work out without any surprises. The money spent was well worth the ability to finish so quickly.
    Food and Dining

    Satellite campus so our food is limited to snack machines and a coffee machine. But both are always working and well stocked with lots of options.
    Academic Rigor

    It really depends on the subject and the professor. Some take their work more seriously than others, but this happens in brick and mortar schools too. What I have taken I have always learned everything I needed to feel I actually came away knowing enough for the time and effort.
    Tips for prospective students

    Do site based classes on anything that is a new concept for you - online is great but sometimes you need the face to face interaction to get full meaning of new things. Don't wait until Friday to start your homework (assignments are usually due on Sunday night). Take midterms and finals early - the system can get bogged down and professors don't care if you had computer problems.
    In three sentences

    It is harder than people give it credit for, but it fits a need for non-traditional students (those of us with jobs, families, and obligations) not to mention how quickly you can finish compared to a brick and mortar school. Blended learning allows you to get out of the classroom and add current research resources and situations to the courses. Overall, a great place to get your degree.

    Tips for prospective students

    If you want a Bachelor's degree in 2 years and half rather than attending a four year college, DeVry would be a smart choice. Semesters are 16 weeks, which means that each term consists of 8 weeks! Yes, classes go by pretty fast. So if you are willing to keep up with a class that runs that fast and are okay with the online environment, enroll to DeVry. All the classes have their own course shell online, which means you submit your work online, do threaded discussions online, and any other information about the class will be online too. This school is very tech, so don't worry if you do not own a laptop or PC at home. All campuses have labs with computers for students to use. They came in handy when I did not have Internet for a few months at home. Also, if you prefer taking classes online rather than on site, that is available too. Not all courses may be available on site, but they are online.

    DeVry hold itself to strict student responsibility and works hard to combat plagiarism and cheating.
    Tips for prospective students

    Online classes takes dedication, make sure you set aside homework time at least every other day to stay ahead of the class. Make sure you make the necessary discussion posts each week, they are easy points to gain but easy to lose too.
    In three sentences

    The staff at DeVry make you feel at home and one person is assigned to assist you in registration and financial aid. The blended experience, having class both online and in class options gives students much needed flexibility. Being able to work with students from all over the U.S. is exciting and fun.

    The tuition at Devry is a bit pricey compared to other universities. However I personally still prefer it because of how the classes are laid out.

    Academic Rigor

    Some professors and their classes are more rigorous than others. However, Devry has such great resources to help you with your class. Tutors are always available as well a a success coach and of course your professor.
    Tips for prospective students

    I recommend taking classes at DeVry because each semester is broken into two sessions of 8 week condensed classes. The classes are also small so you can easily interact with fellow classmates as well as your professor.

    The staff at student services are always very helpful in everything you need help with. The classes and the professors I have encountered have all been very knowledgeable and helpful in the class as well. My experience with DeVry University have been great so far.

    1. Bring your resume to your initial meeting with your admissions advisor. This will assist you in choosing a program of study that will fit your current career (if you have not chosen a program of study already) 2. Be sure to already have your FAFA prepared so that the only thing you will need is the school code. This will make the financial aid process a lot smoother. 3. Setup a time to visit your campus and do a meet and greet with all of student support such as your admissions advisor, academic advisor, financial aid advisor, and student success coach.

    Campus Safety

    Being a private school, there are less students around compared to public schools. The campus I attend has security guards whom do regular inspections. The sanitary engineers also do a great job of keep all hazards at bay. Everyone also wears their school IDs allowing everyone else to know that they do attend/teach/work here.
    What to do for fun

    Generally every week or so, there are events going on that are held by clubs or by groups.
    Food and Dining

    There is a cafe located within the building, however, I'm not sure if every DeVry has one. Outside, there are a few places within reasonable walking distance. Nothing spectacular.
    Dorm Life

    I don't live at the dorms, however, having visited the dorms, I must say, it has a very hotel like feel to them. The food, from what I've heard, isn't too great, however, for a group project, we have been able to help create a healthier selection that's currently on rotation.
    Academic Rigor

    The Professors won't pass students whom they feel won't make it, or won't do well in that particular field. Students need to constantly go above and beyond and show that they have what it takes to succeed. As such, most classes have projects in where students must show their ability and creativity, as well as the ability to work in a team.
    Tips for prospective students

    Be prepared for a lot of work. The Professors here do like to change the curriculum up every now and then, which makes for a unique challenge. Most, if not all, of the Professors have all worked in the field of their expertise, and would rather teach students useful/meaningful skills than teach theoretical skills that might not translate well into that particular field.
    In three sentences

    DeVry offers a unique learning experience in that students aren't always put in the same situation daily. From hands on, to lectures, to just watching visuals, the professors/instructors onsite constantly cater to every student who may learn differently from one another. Students will definitely find more about themselves and more about whichever field of expertise they plan to pursue.

    Tips for prospective students

    Yes, Devry is a tad expensive...compared to community colleges!!! So far my professors, with actual doctorates, have shown extra-ordinary expertise in their fields. Devry hires part-time instructors...mostly. They currently work in their career fields, or operate their own consulting firms or commercial companies. You get real world knowledge at Devry.
    In three sentences

    Yes it is very expensive, but for some, me included, it was the only real way I could go back and get my degree. It's very hard work, 8 weeks to finish a normal semester. I already had an AAS from a very good school, and the teachers @ DeVry were very knowledgable and had great work histories.

    Quick learners and people who like to work in small groups.

    I have still only taken a few of the GE classes and one or two degree related courses but from what I've seen the courses offer challenging hands on experience which paired with the required readings really helps the information sink in.
    Tips for prospective students

    Keep up to date on the work and post to and follow discussions. If you fall behind be sure to catch up, that week. If you fall back to far you'll never be able to catch up. It can be easy to keep your grades up but it's impossible to bring them up. Remember at the beginning of each course you haven't lost any points yet, it's up to you to make sure you don't.

    This is the place to be if you like the small teacher/student ratio. The average class size at DeVry is 5 students. Since classes are blended, meaning online and onsite, it takes discipline to make sure you get yourself on track to get work in on time. Classes are once a week for eight weeks and are between 3 and 3.5 hours.

    DeVry is very job and family oriented and has classes to meet your schedule.

    Food and Dining doesn't apply to me either because I live in my own house. I have the ability to prepare my meals at home and dine with my family. This is a great advantage to online classes.
    Dorm Life

    I do not live in the Dorm. I go to school online
    Academic Rigor

    Online school is hard to get a feel for the professor. Discussions are the way we connect with our professor and our classmates. It is important to not only read the discussions but also to comment on them. This will help you to progress in the class. There is no stupid question. If you read the discussions you might find that someone else posted the same question you had.
    Tips for prospective students

    Any one applying for college online should check out DeVry Online university. The staff at DeVry works with you continuously throughout your academic career. Take advantage of your advising team. When you having trouble in a course contact your professor that's what they are there for. Study time is important so make sure that you set aside quiet time to work on your homework.

    Campus Safety

    If you consider the city cops as safety, then you're good. Other than that, there is no real university-assigned security.
    Greek Life

    There is NO Greek Life.
    Clubs and Activities

    If you're an online student, you can throw clubs & activities out the window.
    Great for these types of students

    If you don't care about having a blast, you don't care about parties, dorm life, campus life, extracurricular events, making the friends of a life time, fraternities, sororities, the opposite sex, or any fun at Party University, then this school is right for you! It's very objective, direct, business and clean. Basically, pay an arm and leg and you can get a chance at a professional university that doesn't have time for fun. If you don't have time for fun, then this university is for you!
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    Unusual? For this school, just think of an office-shaped campus of a franchise building and throw out any previous assumptions of the term university. This really isn't a university campus, this is really a work office campus with educational program to get back into the workforce.
    Bang for the buck

    Really, the school's program is the biggest, I mean biggest highlight here. You don't waste your time during your first 2 years here; in fact, you could even land a job after 2 years and you can go to school year-round, thus allowing you to graduate with a Bachelor's degree within 3 years (roughly 2.9 years). Other than the program, I would NOT attend the school.
    What to do for fun

    Fun? The school takes a handful (4-7) student-association hosted events and hosts the events several times a month, but not several times a week. Events include Chess, City Field Trip, Group Meetings, Ice Cream Socials with school Deans, etc. If you're looking for an adventure, or extreme fun that will be memorable for years, you're looking at the wrong school.
    Food and Dining

    The school doesn't cook its own food. Instead, they rent outside vendors to feed their visitors on Open House days and have fast-food restaurants around the school as Lunch & Dinner. Don't expect school gourment. You may even be better off with your mom's home cooking and just heating it up in the oven weekly.
    Dorm Life

    Dorm Life? There is no Dorm Life. It's basically you, and 5 other roommates packed in an off-campus housing apartment about 20 miles away from the school. The conditions are terrible, and you may be better off doing online until you can get nice, legitimate off-campus housing relatively close to the school
    Academic Rigor

    Many of the courses (online) aren't impossible to pass, and if you've taken Honors, G/T, or AP level courses in high school (or Advanced Courses in high school), then don't even expect a serious challenge.
    Tips for prospective students

    Consider this school over a junior college if you have the money for college, and you don't want to waste your first 2 years in General Studies. The General Studies at this school can be interesting, but overall, are related to your major. On the other hand, prepare to transfer after 2 years to a 4 year classic university because attending this school can get boring after a while.
    In three sentences

    This school deserves a 3 out of 5 stars. I like this school because of its Undergraduate degree programs and how it is possible to take some of your major's classes in your Freshman year. However, I don't like some of the service and how the school is so expensive that it persuades its students to take loans, even if not necessary.

    DeVry is an accelerated college and they do not advertise this fact. Please make sure to ask questions about the curriculum and always always...no matter what school you attend...stay current on administrative changes and your student account!

    The Professors at DeVry are the true jewels of the university. Administrative efforts could improve by not increasing tuition each year, when it is known the economy nationwide is still pursuing to recover from the recession. No matter the school's greed, I am still happy I choose DeVry other all other technical colleges here in Columbus, OH.

If a prospective student is looking for a pleasant educational experience ending with a profitable career, look no further.

    Devry is structured to focus on your major without fluff classes that don't contribute to your future career. I love the flexibility of evening, weekend and online class options since I am a working adult with a family and a busy life outside of school. The classes are accelerated so even someone like me with ADHD who tends to lose momentum and focus on things that take too long (16 week classes) can keep motivated and engaged for fast paced 8 weeks classes.

    For the shy or introverted crowd, the small class sizes may seem daunting, but everyone seems friendly enough that you neither get drowned out by the crowd nor singled out. You are left to be a part of what you want to be when you want to be. No professors forcing you to make friends randomly as if you're a kindergartner.

    The food in the cafeteria is pretty good! And the vending machines are always accessible if the cafeteria is closed. The dining area is nice and spacious, sort of like a restaurant.
    Dorm Life

    I haven't lived in the dorms. I'm not even sure if my campus has any.
    Academic Rigor

    Students and teachers alike seem hardworking and dedicated to what they're learning or teaching. At the same time, everyone is a little more laid-back and friendly, so there's not too much worry about uptight professors. The bad news is that the core class can seem to drag on forever as the professors have to explain concepts that seem fairly simple. It can get tedious.
    Tips for prospective students

    Know what you want to do beforehand, though it isn't bad to want to change majors, but it is a huge waste of time and money to do so. Pick a major that you at least know a few solid things about and actually can picture yourself happily doing in a few years, rather than a quick money-maker.
    In three sentences

    Everyone is friendly here. The teachers do what they can to help you succeed, and it feels like they genuinely care about you most of the time. The other students also try to help you out when they can, and most aren't daunted by a completely inexperienced classmate!

    The DeVry University campus which I am enrolled in starting November 2012 has by far the most helpful and caring faculty I have dealt with. They will go out of their way to check in with you and make sure you are able to complete any paperwork, and even called to to say get well when I was ill for 2 weeks. I would and have recommended them to all my friends and associates, I am proud to be affiliated with them.
