Based on my experience and being a Double Demon receiving a Bachelors and a Masters from DePaul, I would say that the education was very good, the classes were reasonably easy, but being able to land a job or career has been horrible for me. I am two years out with my MFA in screenwriting, and I have utilized every tool that DePaul has in terms of looking for work, building a resume, building a digital portfolio of my work, networking events, meeting with career counselors etc. and to this date, I have yet to have one interview. I have learned that a lot of people with disabilities and of color are having similar problems one they have graduated. The whole time I was at DePaul I never experienced racism. My education was mostly at the downtown campus (SNL and CDM). I have heard rumors of racism from staff members and about the Lincoln Park campus and some career counselor, but I personally have not experienced that. After graduating for the 2nd time, I met some people from other colleges and they all seem to say similar things, in terms of once you graduate from a college, you’re sort of on your own in terms of getting help with job placement, or job search assistance. I wish I had of known all this before taking on so much student loan debt, But the community I was surrounded by was always encouraging, even after I received my bachelors degree. It was explained to me by career counselors that “You came out during a recession things will get better”. I believe them, I figured that I’d come back to DePaul until the recession blows over and work on my masters degree. Well, I have MFA and a 3.842 g.p.a; and I am in the same predicament. An admissions counselor shared with me once that “College is a business like everywhere else”. There seems to be true, at least in my experience. I’m so upset I really thought that I could finally be free of poverty once and for all but instead it feels like I just purchased a six figured dream. I’m still in subsidized housing, I still get food stamps, and the most expensive things that I own are my degrees; What is wrong with...
Read moreThe best fake review by "reviewer" of this university in the months and even years since Milo Yiannopoulos's DePaul "lecture" was the one that described him as victimized "young homosexual refugee of Jewish ancestry."
Because neither Google nor Facebook screens for its reviewers' attendance to the schools they're reviewing, I'd like to just take a few moments to write a faux review myself refuting that brazen lie.
Responsible moderators will take down both this review and the original, as well as every other "review" (some of which I've reported as "off-topic" by Internet brigadiers intent only on raising or lowering the ratings of schools they never enrolled nor plan to enroll in.
————————
The desperation of M Hall's attempt to paint a flamboyant self-obsessed troll with a diminished capacity for empathy who markets his gayness for fame as a victim and (falsely) as a "refugee" is palpable.
This is a man who believes that his one-quarter (sorry, dishonest "reviewer" below) Jewish ancestry enabled him to call a left-leaning Jewish journalist "a typical example of a thick-as-pig-sh–t media Jew."
Oh, and his "I was coping" defense of his condonation of pedophilia and pederasty? Yeah. Go consult Milo when he's not lying to cover for himself. He previously called child victims of sexual abuse "whinging selfish brats" and implied that they make up their accusations of abuse decades after the fact—just like the callous psychopath he is. (Milo had never claimed that he was abused prior to the fiasco of his own making, an irony that is possibly as pathetic as it is grotesque.)
Please whine more about his "victimhood," fans of this rightly disgraced trollclown!
His memoir is only dangerous for...
Read moreThis place is really great. Not sure who would be checking these reviews though. I am always using this campus for it's resources and it's so close and convenient. Very easy to get work done in the library and you can even pick a floor with different noise levels. Some are for group study and some are silent zones. The floor also have desks set up for collaborative study session and there are plenty of empty conference rooms you can use if you have a large group or club. There's also plenty of computers for the students to use. This place is really great. Not sure who would be checking these reviews though.

I am just writing this review because I feel like it. Maybe it will help you and maybe it won't. But I really doubt anyone is reading the reviews of a college welcome center. It's not like your gonna change your mind about going to the school based on some strangers google maps review. Anyway, I think I reached my...
