    Am learning a lot

    I'm currently enrolled for my business degree. As this is my freshman year a lot of the classes are the gen ed. type but as I am moving on in my university career I am getting more and more into my major and starting to learn a lot! It's exciting and fun to be mentally stretched!
    Am enjoying being here

    The class sizes are small, the teachers are interested in your progress and it's a great learning environment.
    Bang for the buck

    You will graduate in 2 years or so. It's an awesome investment in your future!
    Tips for prospective students

    Communicate with the school. Whether it's your admin counselor, student counselor, teachers or fellow students. If you will be open and talk to those you need to about what you need to you'll do just fine.
    Great for these types of students

    This school is awesome for those who are really wanting to buckle down and get through their schooling quickly without sacrificing their education. It is a very intensive program but they do provide the tools you need to succeed.

    Am learning a lot

    The teacher's are most certainly the best part about this school. They are all knowledgeable and professional in their culinary careers.
    Am enjoying being here

    The atmosphere is always one of fun and delight. There's many activities that go on throughout the year to make sure the students love coming to school. For example, there's the Summer BBQ where students can enjoy free hotdogs, chips, and soda/water.
    Bang for the buck

    The tuition is pretty steep. Especially if you're a Culinary Major, since they add on another $1,000 per trimester. But it is slightly offset because they will do a Scholarship Match so if you receive a scholarship, then they will match it up to one thousand dollars of their own.
    Tips for prospective students

    As long as you try hard and make the effort, the teachers and even other students will be willing to help out. Don't be afraid to ask for help when you need it. The people around you are very willing to give it.
    Great for these types of students

    It's a great place for those that are fresh out of high school. The structure of the place and it's classes are made for full-time students who are really committed to going to school and finishing quickly.

    Will learn a lot

    yes, i learned that they offer a lot of majors and besides that the school respects your space if you want to be alone or in a group.
    Will enjoy being here

    i would enjoy being here because everything i need is in 1 building and there is no need to travel or go anywhere. the library the lunch room and everything needed is in 1 building.
    Bang for the buck

    all the books you need they find. you hand the person that is selling the book your agenda and they give you all the books you need.
    Tips for prospective students

    Join Robert Morris but first of all check out the campus, because maybe its not what you want because you don't get to travel as much or its exactly what you want because everything is in 1 building.
    Great for these types of students

    the people that just want to study get straight to the point and just leave and do their own thing this school is for you because if you need help the teachers are there and you can get everything done and go home and not have anything to worry about.

    Am learning a lot

    Attending this school is helping me gain a lot of knowledge. I am learning a lot of things and it is exciting. The professors really help the students understand the material. They do help a lot if the student asks for the help.
    Am enjoying being here

    You will enjoy being in class and on campus. It is a great experience so far and you get to meet new people which will help so much. It is really enjoyable to attend Robert Morris.
    Bang for the buck

    This school helps you out with your financial needs. They are very flexible and will try to help a student out with the tuition. They give you options which best fit.
    Tips for prospective students

    For prospective students my tip is to ask questions. If you don't know or understand something, ask someone. More than likely they will help you out. If it is a professor or a student, they will help you or at least get you to the right track.
    Great for these types of students

    I think this school is a great for anyone. If your and out going person or a shy timid person, it does not matter because in this university you will be able to over come many obstacles. Don't worry because people are there to help.

    Looking forward to a great learning experience. Everyone very helpful, so far. I think they might have been more informative about helping with financing, School does seem a little more expensive than others..

    I am a culinary student in Robert Morris and all I can say is that the teachers here are very knowledgeable.
    Am enjoying being here

    It is quite decent here. The community in the school are very nice and friendly. The kitchens we use in culinary are great are there are also clubs and sports that you can join.
    Bang for the buck

    For culinary, the tuition can go up to at least 1000 dollars if not more. You also have to pay your books separately which could bring your tuition up even more.
    Tips for prospective students

    Dont expect any dorms or rooms.
    Student Advisors choose what classes you take.
    Expect to be on uniform at all times.
    Great for these types of students

    Tips for prospective students

    The teachers are able to have more of a one on one time because the class sizes are around twenty five compared to normal colleges with lectures that have two hundred.
    Dorm Life

    For the downtown campus the dorm life is very spacious and an easy access to the campus. The Dupage campus has no dorms but helps their students find apartment complex's near or around the schools campus.

    Both of these campus's have plenty of restaurants and bars within walking distances from the campus, dorms, and apartments. The downtown campus also provides students with the option of eating at the campus cafeteria.

    Robert Morris University Illinois is an institution that has made improvements in it's academic curriculum over the past decade. I attended two different schools before transferring here and by far has taught me the most after only 2 quarters there. RMU does a great job of preparing their students for the real world.
    Tips for prospective students

    It's not a large campus school, but in downtown Chicago, next to other universities like DePaul.
    Academic Rigor

    It can be challenging because the quarters are ten weeks long and the coursework is compressed into that short period of time, so it's challenging but it moves fast.
    Dorm Life

    Do not live in dorms.
    Food and Dining

    Plenty of places to eat because you are in downtown Chicago.
    What to do for fun

    Learn and challenge yourself amongst your peers.
    Bang for the buck

    They offer lots of scholarships to athletes.
    Great for these types of students

    Great for returning students.

    Am learning a lot

    Not so much, at least in the Graphic Design Program. A lot of the classes are very hands on based. You learn a lot the programs here by watching youtube videos or googling tutorials.
    Am enjoying being here

    Its nothing to exciting. The Springfield campus is very small. Little to no clubs. No housing. Extremely Expensive.
    Bang for the buck

    Extremely expensive school, Financial aid department is very poor. Hardest part is the fact that you can not use financial aid money out side of the school store meaning, you cant go buy your books online for cheaper, cant get a new computer ect. Also they do not sell any of the software or suites needed for the programs of study offered.
    Tips for prospective students

    Be athletic. About the only way most students can afford this school, is to play a sport to get a reduced tuition. Also if your in the graphic design program, be ready to spend A LOT of time on campus. Because they do not offer the software or hardware in the bookstore, you only have the option spending countless hours in the lab, or go and buy it out of pocket.
    Great for these types of students

    Athletes, and those who don't mind basically self teaching yourself with little teacher interaction.

    Am learning a lot

    Yes I am learning a whole lot at Robert Morris the class sizes are relatively small so you have a better chance of getting one on one help or if you don't understand something the teachers spend lots of extra time at school to make sure you get whats going on.
    Am enjoying being here

    I am enjoying the school greatly because you meet so many people there and its pretty easy to make friends and there are loads of activities and clubs to get into while you're there.
