Governors State University Reviews

"The pros of my graduate coursework is the rigor of the classes and the positive learning environment. I am confident that I will have the ability to apply the theory learned in class with professionalism. The only con is the university location which is outside of the city. However I am willing to travel the distance."

"I feel that the pros are the affordability of the graduate program compared to most other universities. The teachers are very knowledgeable and helpful. The cons would be the distance from my house and the surrounding area isn't that great and also the fact that the school offers scholarships but only for minorities, it's unfair."

"The only con is trying to finance my education. Other than that task, my experience in the program is wonderful, and I enjoy every moment with my peers and instructors while learning."

"The pros of the graduate program is that is caters to individuals who are employed full time. The advisors are very detailed and keep you on track with whatever track that you in. The networking with current technology is great for being able to access faculty, students, and the library. The also have a shuttle bus to transport you from the train station (even though I don't ride the train). The cons is that their are no graduate courses offer in the daytime or on Saturdays. I would love to see this happen."

"My graduate program is in the beginning stages of its lifetime. Therefore, it is good in that it will give me smaller classroom sizes and more faculty attention. On the other hand, it may not be well received from larger universities when I apply for admission in the future."

"The graduate program at Governors State University offers many benefits to its students including an incredibly diverse student body, accessible faculty, and a manageable workload for their students. However, there are a few disadvantages to the university which includes the minimal financial aid/scholarship offered, the competitiveness among the students, and the lack of transportation from the northern suburbs to the university campus."
