Due to Covid-19 turning every class to an online setting, I was scared I would not do well. I was never keen on online learning and there was also concern for lack of resources and tutoring. However, I was pleasantly surprised on how well the curriculum transitioned to an online format. The teachers were very understanding and lenient with assignments. They also offered extra help through zoom. I passed the semester with better grades than I anticipated!
Roosevelt University is in the center of the city of Chicago. You have a beautiful view no matter where you go and you don't have to leave the building for anything. Security is everywhere and it's extremely diverse. Since it's in the city, there are lots of opportunities, fun events and celebrity guest that come right in the front door of Roosevelt! It can be expensive but I believe it's worth the safety and the experience. It's definitely unique!
I attended Roosevelt University for my masters degree. I enjoyed the experience so much that I have made the decision attend again for a second bachelors in nursing. Their vision (social justice), location, student resources, professors and program reputation provide me with the confidence to know that I'm making the right decision to trust them with my future.
