20 Best Surgical Tech Programs In Chicago, IL (2022 Updated)

I will start with the good. The instructors are amazing. Most of them that I have had are very intelligent and filled with the necessary knowledge to teach you. Now the bad. DO NOT LISTEN TO THE COUNSELORS!!!! Figure out what classes you need to take on your own. I spent 3.5 years there with a combination of full and part time and have no degree and no requirements for any programs that I told them I was most interested in. When I was a vulnerable 17 year old first generation college student there completely on my own they told me I needed to take reading for Nursing. For one, looking back, I placed out of reading. For two, I have yet to come across a nursing program that requires reading. It seems that they always gave me the run around and had me taking all of the classes that I did not need, and none of the classes that I did need. If you can figure out what classes you need to take on your own, then The school if great, and the education that you receive is great. If you have nobody to help you or guide you in your life and are solely dependent on the counselors advise, find an alternative.Amber Parson

I didn’t know I Loved ECC, until I moved and I was out of district so I had to go to MCC. I Hate MCC everything and everyone is shut off by 4pm and there’s no almost no teachers willing to teach past 4 (There are but only some). This is impossible to manage. I’m getting a job near ECC so I can go back. I MISS YOU. Not only does ecc have a ton a teachers, but they offer a variety of times for classes especially in the afternoon. There teachers are wonderful and dedicated (not all of course but most) and there facility offers so many different activities and clubs you can go crazy in there. I won’t cheat on you MCC but I will inform you when I leave you and that it’s not working out.ruby leiva

Campus is always clean and the staff is very helpful. I’m very grateful to be a student at such a good school. The rate my professor reviews tend to be very accurate for the professors but I’ve had an overall excellent experience.Grace Lossau

No a good place to take a home inspector class you have 60 hours to read a huge book, and triton college push you to get brand new book but all the material they show you is from 1900, therefore the teacher encourage you to just read the book because their old material doesn't Match with the new book, nothing is updated. Plus If you miss 1 point on your exam you lose the whole course and have to do it again because they don't give you another chance to take another test even for one point and expected to pay all again.so you waste your time,your money..and all over it the instructor says that if English is not your first language you are in the wrong place and makes comments all the time about people's accents. Othe places help you pass the state exam n everything.. Don't waste your time and money taking home inspector course at triton collegeNkos

The worst school to even inquire for a program.. they will charge you and send your info to the credit Breau if you don't pay!! The cashiers will emails you everyday and night and they will make you pay for not attending classes that you never even registered for! Didn't go into classes because it was covid and never even attended for any class online but they want me to pay for not providing any serviceJexlee Charles (Charles10)

Clean, friendly, cool school. I was in the A building, the lady in room A126 was VERY nice and quiet since it was a testing room. They even have FREE feminine products in restrooms for women. I asked about future classes and the lady who helped me initially was VERY pleasant and turned her computer screen around to show me how to navigate the schools website!! All around, GREAT experience!brianne Fondren

Waste of time and money. Only 1 microbiology teacher this semester… same one I had last semester that couldn’t speak English and sent us to the dean if we had ANY sort of question. I tried to get a different one this semester but there was only one that they were offering. I reached out for help multiple times and never got any help other than “try finding new ways to study” could never have zoom meetings to discuss a problem. My councilor was absolutely no help, wasted 2 years trying to get things done and she always said I “had” to do this and this first when I have my pre reqs plus MANY more classes completed and even retook micro to get a better grade, with a teacher that can’t speak English and refused to help his own students. He always talked about covid and we never learned anything that was on the actual tests. Total waste of time and money, skip jw and go to a university.Mckenzie Vallee

Great place to continue your education. Affordable and efficient. A smaller college like John Wood can work to your advantage. It did for me. There was no overcrowded rooms and parking lots. It has a peaceful location with a clean atmosphere to function correctly. Teachers have more time to work with their students to help them with individual needs. J.W.C.C. is a good choice.Mark Wavering

Terrible, most of the classes I took there would not transfer to a good college because John Wood is too small and the other better colleges do NOT recognize it. Do NOT waste your time or money. I even asked the John Wood staff before I took the classes and they assured me that they would transfer, what a LIE.Charlie Wax

Went to Trilogy beauty salon for a haircut and hair color appointment. Student did a really nice job on both. All the students were dressed professionally They were wearing nice looking smocks unlike some other beauty schools were they wore whatever they wished Trilogy salon uses very high quality products which is appreciated Students do take more time completing a hair cut or hair color Instructors are there if they have any questions and everything they do is looked at by the teacher Students gain valuable experience there Highly recommendedKathy Salm

Affordable for gen eds but for a technical college they have some of the worse tech issues I have every seen my I have seen middle schools with better technical support. Do not take there advice on what laptop to buy since I was told to buy a Microsoft brand laptop but I needed to add every chrome extension needed to even access half the course material. I had to ask my instructors to use my personal email only since I could send emails through my school one but could not read any of the instructors emails.Gunfire Productions

Let's just say I'm no spring chicken. I got my Industrial electrical apprenticeship at the age of 46 and at the age of 50 I graduated. It was not an easy thing for me. But the program was excellent and they gave me alot of skills I use everyday at my job. Some days I think I should have tried fitting the instrumentation specialist into my schedule some how but with work hours it wouldn't have work. Id say they have everything you need to succeed at FVTC, because if I can do it at my age anybody can there!Heath Mischke

I have been a student of DePaul University – Law College since 2019. Before joining DePaul I was contemplating between DePaul and other Universities, I am so happy I made the right choice to join DePaul. Not only is it a prestigious University with many famous alumni names, but also because it is a University that has made the list of the top best Universities for many years. Depaul has the best facility you can hope to study under, the administration are very helpful and my advisor, is one of the best, always available whenever I needed assistance, guidance or help. If you are a graduate of DePaul, you can be sure that employers will want to add you to their staff. Being part of DePaul, is being part of a large educational family. There are two campuses, the main one is located in Lincoln Park and the other one is located in the Loop, right in the heart of the business hub, if you are attending College of Law or College of Business. There are two huge libraries in the Loop campus, with access to Starbucks, as well as to, Barnes and Nobles. In both Colleges you have cafeterias amd study lounges. There is a Toastmasters club at DePaul and many other groups and clubs to join. Also, DePaul offers a help center, fpr students who may need extra help with certain classes, as well as, a writing center for whenever you need your essays reviewed, with feedback and assistance in improving it before submission. With all of the above and more, I could not possibly list all of the things DePaul os known for, or offers, but I can tell you one thing, if you happen to choose DePaul and become accepted, be sure you are part of the many successful people who will graduate with pride. DePaul is my University and hopefully it will be yours.Yazan Al-Khuzai

You can be a full fledged patriotic American, but just because your parents travel and you may have a foreign transcript (from high school/ middle school) you are deemed an international student. To add insult to injury this particular issue entailed the student already having graduated from a neighboring community college. Yet still, they are deemed international. An obvious protocol set in place to guzzle money out of the student. Wasn’t even thrilled about their level of academics to begin with, so not having this school as an option isn’t a loss in the slightest for our family. I appreciate their immediate display of a lack of sensical protocol, because it made us deem this school unfit without wasting any further time. Thanks DePaul!The RE: Brand

Hispanic Heritage event went on without a hitch. Free of Problems and controversy. Entertainment was Great Food was Awesome. The Highlight was the introduction of the Main Speakers The New Era Young Lord's. Also some Associates and Friends from there Early Year's. The Bomba group provided good Entertainment and a Festive Atmosphere. In the Middle Sixties you could count the Minorities attending DePaul. The all played on the Basketball team. Vast improvements have been made. Opening Enrollment and and Opputunity. We can Thank Groups like the Young Lord's who brought to the light the Contridiction's. Great Job Latino Students.Rory Guerra

Hello everyone. I attended and graduated from Coyne College 25 years ago (1997) and I loved it. The program I attended Coyne for was electrical maintenance. I was pregnant with my tenth child when I attended and graduated from Coyne (yelp, pregnant with my 10th child🙂). The instructors were very knowledgeable and amazing. My peers were very nice and we helped each other out a lot. I appreciated the hands-on training. When I graduated from Coyne I walked away knowing and understanding more in depth of the fundamental principles of electricity than when I first attended. I must admit initially the program was somewhat intimidating but I was determined to complete it no matter what, and I did. When I first started there were a large number of students in my class but by the time I graduated there were only a hand full of us left. Many of those who stopped attending would say it was hard and I admit it was but we were there for each other and had the assistance of the instructors. I was the only woman in my class, but there were a few women in my graduation class that year. HERE'S A VALUABLE LESSON I'D LEARNED At Coyne we were taught that a good electrician never works on any electrical project unless he shuts its power source off first at the breaker box no matter how small the job is, "SAFETY FIRST"!! So whenever I get ready to install an outlet, light fixture, ceiling fan, chandelier, box, etc. my mind automatically reflects back to that principle and I always shut the power source off from what I'm working on. However, there are many electricians who doesn't apply such principle and that's their choice. But one slip up could possibly cause them their life. Sidenote: One electrician was taking a bath with a radio plugged into an outlet nearby in the bathroom so once he got out the tub he unplugged the radio without realizing it and became part of the circuit. Sadly you know the rest. The point of mentioning this is to ALWAYS have "SAFETY FIRST" on your mind when dealing with electricity!! I would highly recommend Coyne College to anyone!! Take care and be safe!🌹Annette Bell

Medical assistant program 2020 The instructors are great! Financial aid depart is cool. Admission peeps are great. The program itself is ok. (Medical Assistant) Class schedules often change due to availability of the instructors or enough students but the material is fair and you all should watching the cheating during exams. Not cool! I am not a fan of the woman in charge of medical assistant clinical placement and also job placement . She claims to be the, “light at the end of our Coyne journey” I strongly disagree! She (Sevtap) talks down on you and if you do not email her quickly she will call your phone and talk down to you for not responding. My other classmates have shared screen shots of her emails regarding her “typical” response to any given situation. Regardless of who you are please don’t belittle your students even if they know better or not. As for Hanson, she is director of students. She will smile and claim to have an open door policy but I never really experienced that. If you have questions she will forward you elsewhere. She also forgets this is not a high school and treats students this way. We are not children. Yes, some are fresh out of school and will sit at the elevator and pass out tardy slips!!! There is a “president” of the college who will walk around yet does not ever speak to you. If I owned a “family business” I would definitely treat my students simply by acknowledging them. It’s the little things. Please don’t forget that fund your school through tedious loans and monthly obligations. I have my top 3-4 favorite instructors and they truly enjoy the challenge of teaching their students and I thank you. I’ll never forget that! So if you can look past some of the minor annoyances, one might call this facility decent. 20k, let’s see if it’s worth it!!!Charlie Brownie

My name is Carol L Peters. I graduated from Coyne twice. 1983, Electronic Technician (the only female). 1984, Industrial Electronics. This started my career in the cable industry. As construction was completed I moved on to another company. In 1985-1987 Spliceco/Group W Cable as an underground inspector. 1987-1997 TCI/Chicago Cable as a Design Engineer/Design Supervisor. 1997-2001 Ameritech New Media as a Design Manager. 2001-2003 RCN Cable Division as a Design Coordinator. After cable I received my degree in Graphic Design. I also did electrical wiring and built/repaired computers. Thank you Coyne for giving me the opportunity. You started my career. The counselors and professors were fantastic.Carol L Peters

I recently received a class schedule (non-credit) brochure in the mail from Harper College and found a mosaic class taught by artisan and glass artists Urii Guchenia and Nathalie who has her very own studio in Willowbrook. The class was very inexpensive and well worth it! Kristin the librarian was very efficient in sending us a friendly email reminder along with the campus map to find the building where the class was. The class was held in “The Make Shop” within the library. All supplies were furnished and setup for us. Nathalie and Urii gave a us brief history of glass mosaics and were so helpful while we created our pieces. They had a vast array of glass tiles in every color imaginable! It was so much fun and gave us all a whole new appreciation of mosaic artisanry!Michelle Foy

A place where I got the opportunity to make wonderful memories that will be with me forever!! A place which helped me find my hidden passion and persistently encouraged me to work for it!! All along with a beautiful campus, excellent faculty and staff, and interesting engagement activities!! The professors, academic advisors, and counselors helped me excel in classes, motivated and kept me on track for the completion of my degree in a timely manner, and most importantly helped me make my mind to work for a specific major rather than remaining undecided! All in all, if I succeed in my career years later, Harper will always be a crucial reason for my success!! Thank you Harper for everything and I badly miss you!!Prerak Patel

Please do not go to this school, its terrible! I went here for 3 years and obtained an associates degree in Arts meant towards a bachelors degree back in 2014 but my experience was horrible. Me being black and African, they denied me an opportunity to use the Chemistry Lab to work on an idea that I wanted to prove yrt they were allowing other students to use it. Yet, the school used me to advertise in the Daily Herald News Paper as an immigrant that goes to their school doing athletics. I did athletics (Track and Field and Cross-country) for 2 Years.Turyamusiima Livan

If you get lucky then your experience here can be very enriching, I however did not get lucky. Half-way through my 2nd semester as a freshman here I got Bronchitis around midterm times. Most of my teachers were very nice about rescheduling my midterm due to the fact I was contagious and couldn't be in class to take these tests. But there was one teacher who simply refused to allow me to have a retake, through emails I offered to come in on his office hours or any other time that worked well for him, simply to retake a test I didn't have access to. He was terribly condescending, constantly treating me like I was trying to trick him, talking down to me and behaving combatively. Eventually I gave up trying to reason with him, and simply accepted that I had just wasted thousands of dollars and months of my time on a wasted endeavor. This will shortly cause me to lose eligibility for my scholarship. Without this scholarship I have no incentive to stay at the school. When considering this school you have to realize that its truly a bargain school, its relatively cheap and for the cost you get acceptable education and a degree that isn't completely useless. However, what this school lacks in comparison to more prestigious (and expensive) schools is reliability. Some teachers are okay, some courses are pretty good, but when your committing so much time, effort and money into something, you don't want "sometimes good" and you certainly don't want "sometimes a complete and total waste". If I could go back and reinvest the commitment I spent here into a community college, I wouldJacob Jaeger

Disabled and deaf/hard-of-hearing students are not consistently given reasonable accommodations under the law by professors/instructors or the Disability Resource Center (DRC). You are lucky if TransVac returns your multiple calls or emails, and usually when they do they just tell you they can't drive ou to class, your internship interview, etc. Disabled and D/HH students and faculty who speak out are often retaliated against by Deb Miller, the DRC Director, and professors in disability and rehabilitation services and counselors who consider themselves the experts on the disability, and the only ones who should be allowed to speak about disability and the disabled experience at NIU. I tried to talk about these and other issues to the ombudsperson; Academic Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion; and professors who supposedly specialize in disability and was either completely ignored or told how great Miller and the DRC are. I am hard of hearing with ADHD and chronic pain. My mom has an incurable degenerative condition. Disability and deafness are my life. I feel like NIU broke my spirit and pushed me out of professional life. I experienced and witnessed harmful ableist and audist discrimination, and it felt like no one believed me, cared, or cared enough to be a genuine ally.Kelsey Williams

I went there in 1985. Horrible decision for me personally. I left after 1.5 years and finished at a small christian school. To me, "small" is better. At NIU I saw vandalism on my floor , drugs, so so food, and not really a culture of study. It was a culture of the "world." Just not a great environment. I remember a professor telling us all to look to the person to our left and then our right and then say to us, "one of you won't be here next year." Oh my word – THANKS for the loving encouragement. Sure enough, he was right, I was gone 1.5 years later. Then, you have to drive, walk, or take a bus MILES to and from classes on a ugly "average" at best campus. How enjoyable. Then, when you arrive at your 450 person class – it's often taught by someone you can hardly hear or understand. Will it give you a degree? Yes. For my money, I would rather spend a few more bucks and go to a smaller private school. Worth every penny. I know lots of people who "liked" NIU. But, nobody seems to LOVE having gone there. The professors can't hold a candle to those at a smaller University. The time, care and investment is 10 fold better at a smaller school. My .02 cents.Rocky Ruggiero

The University of Chicago Booth campus is one of the oldest higher learning institutions in Chicago. The Campus is spread across the South Hyde Park and surrounding neighborhood. Had a chance to stop into the Harper Building and the welcoming atrium and staff. The administrative staff here are very friendly and knowledgeable. The students come for undergraduate or the prestigious grad school at Booth. The world class research institution is considered one of the top universities in the Midwest.chad svastisalee

Pleased to visit one of the most important Universities in the World! Its gardens, its period buildings keep an incomparable history with other universities! All its facilities are in favor of encouraging research and studies! Impressed by its majesty in knowledge and educational experience! This is part of the quality of its professionals that make them competitive worldwide!miguel chang

I enjoy the mix of old buildings and new ones. Going in the old buildings, is like go into a time capsule. Student's seem to enjoy the campus, as well as residents of the neighborhood. Enjoy the small businesses surrounding the campus. Their are several things to do, you just have to venture out and find them.Jerome Scarborough

Nice buildings, TERRIBLE instructors, especially in their medical-focused science programs. Instructors changing assignments, deleting submitted work, and failing entire sections of classes.. Instructors that play the "gotcha" game, attempting to fail and trick you on material and assignments, as opposed to trying to teach. Have professors ripping material directly from other programs and having you do it for assignments (other universities) that still has other universities logos all over it. Also, you're on your own, admin will not respond / is not on your side. I would spend my money and time elsewhere if AT ALL possible. Had an instructor claim they have the "best program in the state" and then fail to respond by email for about 3 months, and had to get Dean involved. Feels like I'm interacting with high school students for professors. I am from out of state and it turns out Iowa has basically no resources regarding escalating issues with professors – what they say goes and that's it, regardless of how inappropriate or unproductive. DO NOT trust your education to this program and these instructors.Rone Parent

Kirkwood is a fantastic school with high level talent. The college seems to view itself as a service to paying customers (a bafflingly rare delight), and offers courses that inspire good work and deep thinking. Kirkwood *far* exceeds any other educational institution I've attended. The admission process is transparent, the courses you're paying for are clearly outlined, the requirements of the course are made plain at the start of the term… man. I can't say enough nice things. And you know what? I never once had anyone correct me to say "Call me 'Doctor' ". That may not mean much to you, but it meant a hell of a lot to me. Do yourself a favor and go here for your first two years with an eye to transfer on, should that be your aim. You're not just getting more for your money. You're flat out getting more.Claiming Light

Least understanding faculty. Called 6 hours after my deadline to cancel a test that I paid $95 dollars to take. The program director for CE was rude and condescending stating that she would not refund my exam because I was simply 6 hours past the 24 hour deadline. This school is clearly just out to rob people of their money and it’s sickening. I’ve had nothing but a bad experience and it’s crazy to me because at one point I was so excited to attend. Hope they’re happy turning a profit once again whether big or small.Dreya Bauldry

Quality of care and service is highly, highly dependent on the specialty you’re seeing here. Their oncology is #1 in the state for a reason and absolutely the best place to go for cancer care. Truly amazing teams and the best doctors and nurses I’ve ever had. Imagining is also incredible, at least with the techs. Every scan I’ve had has been a wonderful experience and truly exceptional. The other departments I’ve experienced here are lacking. Orthopedics – doctor was over an hour late to my appointment, spent 5 minutes with me, had zero bedside manners. I reas the notes after and they were full of unprofessional remarks that gave the sense he didn’t care at all about my care and was dismissive. It’s not the attitude I would expect from an attending physician, or at least not one that actually wants to work there. The facility themselves are very hit or miss in terms of accessibility. I use mobility aids and while much of the hospital is accessible, a lot of it isn’t. Arkes pavilion only has accessible bathrooms on two floors and multiple hallways that are not wide enough for mobility aids. I had to stop seeing my psychologist there simply because the there were no automatic doors on his floor, including main hallways. If you’re in Illinois and need cancer care, especially for rare or advanced cancers, there is no better place than northwestern. For every other specialty, it’s very hit or miss and most often seems to be miss. If you need orthopedic specifically, go to Rush.Sara Sunshine Rosado

Absolute worst ER! I was admitted at 7:00 p.m. and it’s now 1:25 a.m. as I write this review. I am in an examination room waiting for the doctor to see me, so far I’ve only met with the PA. I was called into the examination room a little after midnight—still waiting on the doctor. This is the most unprofessional hospital I’ve ever been to. The waiting room is not clean. In fact, a man in a wheelchair urinated on himself three times. Streams of urine poured from his wheelchair. I told a nurse about it, but he did nothing. I am disheartened at what I’ve seen by the staff and the lack of care needed to maintain a humane and efficient ER. Visitors are treated like cattle, and the wait times are disgraceful.R W

Been here since 2pm- car accident and cut finger. It is now 9:30 and the only one that seems to be doing their job right is the night shift security guard who happens to see us putting our mask down. With all the money that goes into this place there should be better cleaning rotations, a better turn around for patients. I am convinced they have only one doctor and 15 nurses working. The picture below is only one area. The blankets are from 3 different patients that were called after atleast 7 hours of waiting. Bathrooms are disgusting. Spent $40 on coffee and a sweet x2 and not to mention the excruciating parking rates. Just go to Stroger atleast there they will help you with the ridiculous cost.Albertina Cruz

I enrolled at Computer Tutor in March of 2016 and received my Certificate of Achievement in Administrative Accounting Clerk I. My experience attending this school was very positive, as the staff and teachers are very helpful, pleasant and encouraging. I gained extensive knowledge in Accounting and am now very comfortable working in MS Excel and Quick Books and am now able to apply for jobs that require these skills. Computer Tutor also provides a Job Resource Center that is very helpful to you in your search for employment. I would also like to add, the owner is very pleasant, motivated to help you succeed and provides an attractive, clean and safe environment for you to focus and learn.Crystal Clear

I'm just your averge joe working heavy labor jobs until I decided it's time to get serious and get an education. I can't afford nice things, but with Fasfa and pel grant, at the office they helped me out on how to get enrolled for part time in college. The best part is I only had to pay 3k AFTER I graduate in payments of 50 a month. I rather use my 4hrs to learn than sit around watching tv. While I go to school I can work at the same time pay off my bills and still have time to rest at home. The whole point about working smarter is so that you can enjoy life. I was afraid to start, but here I am now and I love going to school here.Martin Tafolla

I highly recommend Stellar Career College. My experience here was amazing and truly life changing. I was a Restaurant Manager for 10+ years and after the covid pandemic I decided to change careers. I studied less than 5 months at Stellar Career College for Administrative Accounting Clerk 11 and immediately after graduation I got a job working full time, Monday- Friday in an office setting in accounting . I couldn't have done this without the learning and training here at Stellar Career College. The Staff and teachers are experienced full of knowledge and willing to part their wisdom . Thank you Vic, Kristina and Ms. Trini 💛Stephanie Galeana

As a employee of Rush hospital environmental services department I worked here and dedicated myself to fulfilling my job duties to my greatest ability and because of that I was over work and assigned to work all over the Professional building sometimes a different area/floor each day even assigned to two jobs in one shift but because of my willingness to get the job done and the skills that I have to perform any assignment given by management in this department. I never complain because I personally remember not having a job and I really appreciated being employed and helping those in the hospital that needed a clean hospital bed and room and bathroom while trying to get better and the doctors that want their office cleaned and the floors mopped and trash can emptied for when they come into their office in morning. I was terminated due to accusations of having Covid-19 and I was escorted out of the the hospital during my shift by security and management without anything in writing regarding why I’m being escorted out of the building during my shift and my I.d badge removed and taken from me without no union member being present on my behalf or even to witness the situation. I was never given the chance to return to work. I passed the mandatory temperature checks when entering the building and I did not report being sick or having symptoms. I would’ve called in sick or took time away from work. I had fmla and could have taken time off if needed. I was wrongfully escorted out the building and never given the opportunity to return back to work. As of today I am without a job that I been at working for 4 years with no complaints ever about my performance. My history of working on all 11 floors inside the professional building reflects my hard work ethic. No other employee in my department during my 4 years with Rush was utilized like me because they were not capable of getting the work done. My job was wrongfully taken away from me after being a awesome employee to a company that doesn’t value their workers if you aren’t a doctor bringing in millions of dollars from surgeries. I worked in what’s considered the lowest and most looked down upon position in the hospital and that is why this entire situation could even happen.TW

If you decide to go to the E.R. at RUSH… Be prepared to stay in the waiting area for a good ten hours!!! Yes! Ten hours!!! Speaking with patients that have been in the waiting room for 14-15 hours to get called into a room.. We need legislation passed to protect patients. Hospitals should face fines or some type of disciplinary action when they keep patients waiting for so long.. Just like airlines! Waiting rooms are extremely congested. They need a better system to deal with the amount of patients they deal with. If you go in with a sprain, hurt or heart issues… you have a HIGH probability of going home with some type of virus! Waiting rooms are NOT being sanitized. Doors etc not being sanitized. Bathrooms not sanitized enough! RUSH instead of wasting so much money in commercials talking about being state of the art… Act like you are state of the art!!! You are labeled as state of the art NOT a third world country!!! UPDATE Response to RUSH's response. Complete LIES!!! A patient waiting made a comment/question to a nurse. He asked if being a good liar was part of her job. He told her he had been there since 9 a.m. Wednesday. It was 1 a.m. Thursday when he was asking/commenting. She actually laughed and commented that at times believe it or it was part of her job to lie. RUSH needs to open up a bigger E.R. The government gave a lot of aid to hospitals. They need to be held ACCOUNTABLE for taxpayers money!!!Be Light

HORRIBLE NURSES ! NEGLECTED WHILE PREGNANT! I had the worst treatment in the ER while being pregnant I was waiting for hours upon hours to get a room while I was vomiting and very dizzy they had me in the waiting room for about 4 hours after I was in the emergency room for 2 days because I bed didn’t open up for me while those days happened the nurses were the worst they were rough and neglectful to when I was in pain I was crying sobbing because they didn’t put an iv in right I had the IV done 13 times!!! 13 times they couldn’t get it in right to the pint where they just gave up and didn’t give me an IV I was left without food for long long periods of time and when I asked for options they told me it wasn’t a restaurant in which I was in shock from that nurses response I never went back after and never will worst hospital ever they’re a joke I will not trust my baby in their hands compared to Uic I’ve had the best treatment ever there very attentive and gentle with me and babyMelisa Roman

DeVry was a great online and on-site combination school. The professors actually care about their student's success. The fact that the ones teaching are actually in the field of study as a career gave me more motivation to continue my education. The layout in which we submitted our work was very user friendly and my senior project was not only beneficial to my career success but it was fun and my classmates actually worked well together which bodes well for the future. I really enjoyed my time with everyone and hope to see the in the future. If I had to be critical of one area it would be that the grading scales would differ class to class. Which in my opinion is actually good because you know that the school was making sure the class and content was up to date. Being able to go to school from different devices phone, computer, or even a paper back made my school experience more learning and less headaches.Windy City Flyr

I really proud to be graduating from DeVry University. I have best experience with all the students, staffs and Professors. All professors are highly talented and professional. They are always tends to help every students. Overall experience was more than I expected from Chicago campus. Especially, with the senior project of this university was wonderful. My major is Computer information systems with concentration in software programming. During senior project, we had great chance to apply our knowledge and skills earned from DeVry university into the real life. We worked with Fly with Butch O’Hare project during our senior project, which is really great opportunity to put our selves in real world. I am really thankful to DeVry University to allow us this wonderful opportunity.Hardik Patel

My experience here at Devry has been wonderful, everyone is willing to work with you to help keep your grades up and keep your GPA in good standards. The falculty and staff is amazing and very welcoming and are truly the best. So far I love this school and I would recommend it to anyone who is looking to attend college and have a busy schedule. You can definitely maintain a busy schedule and school with the classes being 2 months long. I have a wonderful student advisor Alex who is helping me maintain wonderful grades and keeping me on the road to graduate.Eddie Coleman

One of the more lesser known museums, but I had the wonderful opportunity to explore this gem during Open House Chicago! The architecture inside and outside the building is beautiful and I feel like it’s very easy to overlook this building as an apartment complex. There are about four floors filled with medical devices and illustrations from history and you can learn a lot here! It was a lot bigger than I had imagined, but the gift shop is small. So many physical displays here and they have an apothecary tucked away on the ground floor! I have it pictured below with the model of the guy (which was kind of creepy tbh, but cool nonetheless). I’m so glad this museum gets to call Chicago home 🙂 Visited on

Very educational place. There are alot of topics that are covered that are very interesting and gave me a great understanding of how far we have come as a society in refference to modern medicine. The areas that are primarily covered in the museum are Europe, America, and Asia. In spite of the Egyptians being pretty famous for surgeries such as dental work, there's not really a lot of information provided on behalf of Egyptians. But I understand to a certain degree. Because the museum is very artifact display driven. All in all, it was a very interesting place to visit. It's 4 floors of material by the way. Visited on

I am a healthcare worker and was curious to visit this place. Peculiar place with special vibes. Gave me that inexpressible feeling of time travel back to the tough but brilliant past of medical science. Spent there slightly more than one hour to see the main exhibition. Good way to finish weekend Chicago trip. Visited on

Had applied to this school for the MRI Program. Paid all the fees for application, transcripts, etc. Took the entrance exams and passed. Received my classes/schedule and sent them my fafsa. I had been registered for my classes already. I did an interview, the person that interviewed me was not professional, believe her name was Danielle Dertz. When trying to answer questions, i was cut off constantly and put down. Then right when everything was set and done for me to start the course, they give me a call that they do not want me as a student. My time was wasted, as well as money. They thought that I was not a good fit for the program because it is "too stressful". Previously, I was a full time student as well as a full time employee and received my degree from a different school with good grades, so I was stunned at this claim. They based this claim off of a previous job I had quit which had no relation to the MRI program itself. Instead of giving me a chance, when i expressed my interest and drive for the school i was shut down. Really disappointed in how i was treated as a student in the pandemic wanting to further my education Reply to response: The fact that you guys based your decision of my admittance on a job I worked over a year ago is disappointing. Both careers are very different from one another, so it’s sad that it is assumed that I wouldn’t be able to handle the program. My grades and achievements proved otherwise, but that was completely overlooked. I noticed with other reviews that many students had issues with the interview process as well. One would think after so many complaints something would be done about it but i guess not. As a student wanting to further their education, being discouraged because of a decision made, once again, over a year ago, was very disappointing. CNA is not the same as MRI. Many things change after over a year. The way I was put down by the Program Director was very upsetting and unprofessional. And I had also received a full schedule for the program. All of my classes were listed. You guys had waited to tell me that I was no longer accepted, hence my time being wasted. Instead of telling me right after the interview, you guys had waited. I was asked to fill out financial aid and receive my classes all the while knowing that I was not to be accepted.Tali Gallik

Midwestern Career College is a phenomenal institution! The staff, students and alumni are some of the most driven and intelligent people I have ever met. I originally met Mary Schmidt in 2018 and was fortunate to form a great business relationship after attending a career fair at the Chicago campus. While I originally attended this career fair strictly looking for Medical Assistants to hire, Mary educated me on the Externship Program that the institution offers. Mary was so kind to visit various UroPartners locations to further discuss this program with our Practice Managers. After many introductory visits, UroPartners started placing externs last year. We have now placed six MA externs and three of those individuals are full time employees who are still with the company today! In addition to that, our surgery center is now also participating in this program as they have started placing Surgical Technologists externs onsite. It has been amazing to watch this program grow and I look forward to all the future success Midwestern Career College and UroPartners will form together.Yasmine Lozano

I’m currently a student enrolled in the EKG program and I’ve really appreciated the take on online education. We have an in person class once a week that really brings the class together and elaborates on key points. The facilities are really nice, the class I’m in is in their downtown building, and I have an outstanding opportunity to learn about my field. The class sizes are not big so there’s always opportunities to ask questions and clarify for my own sake. The teachers are very helpful and are more than willing to go the extra mile for their students which is amazing because you just won’t always get that at a bigger school. All in all I’ve really enjoyed my time at at Midwest career college and will be recommending this course of study for any of my friends or family looking to get an education in any of the many fields that MCC has to offer!!Michael Goubine

Dr.George was the best instructor ive ever had LET ME TELL YOU! i have never enjoyed school and never made above a B plus but after taking my first module with him i past all my first 3 classes with a perfect score of 100. His teaching style is amazing, he makes you feel like youre not alone, and he loves when u ask questions so if you're like me and hate asking questions he makes it so much easier its awesome. I really hope i run into you again one day because you were the absolute BEST instructor a student could ask for. Love You! -Hailey <3Hailey Wilke

My career service advisor was great! Ms. Alexandria Vela helped me tremendously on my job search. She was one of the people from the campus who have always been very helpful. She has always been very attentive with me and always checked in, during and after my externship, and now that I'm hired she has continued to check in. She helped me apply for jobs and even walk me through interview questions. Eventually I did get hired and I cant thank her enough!estefania castillo

May I express, I was worried about joining this institution, I hadn’t been in school for a while but when I first visited everybody made me feel so welcome with a constant smile on their face, I felt encouraged and wanting to be in class. Dr. Navarro is very knowledgeable and she sure makes sure we’re updated with our work. I really recommend for you to visit CHCP institution, don’t just take my word for what I just experienced.Browneyes

This is a very honest review of my experience from 08/22/22 to 08/23/22. I am thankful first, to God Almighty for a successful surgery granted my daughter and secondly for the amazing experience from the receptionist who loves blings to the entire nurses, doctors and non medical members of staff that made this an easy phase. I will be mentioning some names only because I remember them particularly but if you ever had to help Zifana in one way or the other during this admission then know that I am equally thankful to you too. Dr Rastatter and Dr Lee from ENT dept are amazing, very knowledgeable and soft spoken. They both took time in their own ways to explain and made sure my husband and I understood the procedure and answered all questions respectfully. The Anesthesiologist Dr and her colleague (names forgotten) you both rock and are excellent at what you do, let me also add very kind too. To the Nurse at PACU that helped my baby stabilize after surgery , I can’t remember you name now, you are truly a Nurse at heart and you understand what empathy is and to your colleague who helped wheel us out, thank you both. How can I forget Nurses Wendy, Mallory and Susy, we received an exceptional before and after service from you all. A very big thank you to Larry from the patient transportation dept who sang so beautifully and also had a personalized song with his own name while transferring us to a room. Thank you all for you professionalism and hard-work. There’s no amount of money that can compare to your sacrifices, but I pray God’s blessings on each and everyone of you today and always. To conclude let me say that this hospital was well taught of before putting together and the employees are a reflection of their management’s vision.BHN

This hospital deserves less than one star. Every time I schedule an appointment (which takes forever) they say they accept my bcbs insurance and days before the appointment they call me back and say they do NOT accept it. I even upgraded to PPO and have a referral from the Dr. they still make up some excuses not to schedule an appointment for my child. Hell, even getting the right person on the phone to make an appointment is complex. The call back feature is garbage too. You expect whoever calls will help you make the appointment but no, person who calls me back says “let me transfer you”. Frustrating at the point where I will never want to do anything with this place.Masha Kasha

If I could give a zero star I would. So my 1 star is my zero star. They let my son screaming for 1:30 half with nurses just looking at us not helping or getting help for us leaving the room knowing my sons lips were already damaged with blister we are dealing with a lip injury. Cindy P and her friend nurse they messed up my sons lips big time. We have been in so much pain emotionally, mentally but my sons is the one that will pay for their negligence with a lip reconstruction my heart will never be the same. I just wanted to get out of there because I thought my son was going to die in their hands. So so sad.Yunuen Raya

I am very impressed by and appreciative of Gina Aalders. I began my enrollment into the Radiography program fairly late and feared I would be unable to finish the process in time for classes. From the very first moment I met Ms. Aalders, she has continued to go above and beyond her duties and exceed my expectations. What impressed me the most was her level of communication and willingness to assist me however she could. She was proactive in letting me know approaching deadlines and extremely supportive throughout the entire process. After coming from a college where all of these things are seriously lacking, Ms. Aalders was EXACTLY the person I needed and I could not be more appreciative of how helpful she has been. Thank you very much!Kieran Richards

My daughter has recently enrolled in classes at Northwestern College, and the transition was extremely easy, thanks to her amazing and wonderful advisor, Tanisha Williams. We can't thank her enough for all her help and guidance. She answered every call, every email, every question, and so much more. She goes above and beyond! We have been so blessed to have her as our advisor, and truly, we can't thank her enough. Tanisha Williams #1juan soto

I’m so glad that I found this collage. Gina helped me get all my information together in order for me to start. Also Gina got everything done in a timely manner. My new friend Major is awesome and motivational. Griselda is really nice also and is very helpful. I am looking foward to become a future nurse! 🙂Alyssa Whittington
