Thank you once again for doing your part to keep Edarabia the most trusted education source.
I love my new school. I transferred in from Columbia and love that I am getting a more traditional education but still get the benefits of smaller classes. Sense of community idea is definitely true and I couldn't be happier with my decision!

Roosevelt is not just a cold brick and stone institution, there is a sense of community within the university's walls. I would recommend join us here at Roosevelt, if you want to learn in small and well taught classes.

I'm enjoying my schooling at Roosevelt with new networking opportunities and good professors. The buildings are well equipped and they are always raising their standards with technology. The professors teach at other universities like Depaul, Northwestern, UIC, etc. Great mix of professionals and challenging courses. Graduating in May 2009 with Masters in Accounting and Business. So far so good! Thanks Roosevelt!

I graduated from Roosevelt University a couple of years ago with a degree in Hospitality and Tourism Management and Meeting Planning and I couldn't have been happier with the program and the professors. The entire department was personable, knowledgeable, and had a TON of real world experience which made a huge difference when it was time for me to get a job and start my career.
I highly recommend Roosevelt and this program. I have a job that I love now and I am so happy I went back to school for a different degree.
