"Pros would be that I know I am getting a good education and that I will be more likely to get a job after graduation because of my experience at Midwestern. Con would be that the class size is large, therefore making it more difficult to get 1:1 help from professors."

"Pros- Midwestern University offers diversity within students which makes me feel right at home. They are not a huge campus, which makes it easier to contact faculty and schedule meeting times. Faculty is always available to help students in a variety of ways, from email to sit-down meetings. The campus is beautiful and in a safe area. The quality of education is very high and I would recommend attending Midwestern University to any student. Cons- Since Midwestern is a private school, it is expensive to attend. It is located in a suburb area, so the cost of living is expensive as well. But overall, I am very happy with my decision to attend Midwestern for pharmacy school."

"The Occupational Therapy program at Midwestern University is taught by competent and helpful professors, who have personal ties to the development of the Model of Human Occupation, a predominant therapy model. I have greatly enjoyed my time there so far, and appreciate the way Midwestern has supported me. It however, is the most expensive program in Illinois, and requires a great deal of sacrifice to participate in it. The program is challenging, but worthwhile. It is stressful, but interesting. Overall, Midwestern is a quality school that puts out quality programs. Though the price tag is high, it is well worth it."

"Pros are the small close knit campus. There are many clubs and opportunities to network with other students in all of the majors. Con it is small and does not have the opportunities that some larger universities might have such as sporting events."

"The small school gives you an opportunity to become close with many of your classmates. An atmosphere of helpfulness is fostered by removing curves from the grading system. Being close to downtown Chicago gives students the ability to enjoy everything the area has to offer. I enjoy getting to know my professors and they are always on top of how I am doing in their classes. There is no way a student can slip through the cracks here. The biggest con is the cost of attendance. Being a private school, tuition is incredibly expensive and the Chicago area does not provide for the most affordable living."
