No issues with DeVry
May 17, 2012
I generally don't understand when I see horrible reviews of DeVry. I guess everyone has their own situation. I have been an undergrad student at DeVry for the last 2 years. I am a former US Marine and current member of the Illinois National Guard. So maybe I have a different perspective. But I am a professional working adult who also has National Guard responsibilities. I simply do not have the time to go to ...

Class action law suite wanted!
May 3, 2012
I want my money back! Realistically I want DeVry to pay back the loans they manipulated me into taking out and lied to me to agree to. I wish I would never have heard the name DeVry and would agree to a class action law suite if given the chance. All I want is the loan that was supposed to cover my education to get my degree paid off. Nothing more. They need to stop ...

High priced education and a very disappointing service
February 23, 2012
I would not recommend this University for a higher education if it was free, much less the $60k plus that I am paying out of pocket to receive worse support, education and service than a community college where the degree expenses are 1/3 of the price DeVry charges. I am currently attending the San Antonio location. My experience here in just the first 2 months have been; the advisors cannot advise you beyond what you ...

Don't Do It!
February 3, 2012
Devry is an OK school if you are going as a citizen and only through one program. Because I am a veteran, Devry was for some reason unable to properly bill the VA for my GI Bill. Also, because I had taken 2 online courses and one at the school itself, the devry billing department was incapable of properly billing the VA for this also. I have not attended Devry in several months and to ...

Devry University
January 30, 2012
Devry University is definitely not for slackers. I will recommend this school to active duty military because the rates are kept lower than the rates of other students (mine was $250/credit) and the schedule is favorable. It is also possible to mix TA and GI Bill for tuition and you probably qualify for Pell Grants. Finance-wise i get refunds. Back to the slacker talk. The workload is crippling - get ready for 5 hours a ...

Decent School
December 23, 2011
I think overall you need to know what you’re getting. I went in knowing this was a for-profit school, and in the end I am in $40,000 in debt. I will be paying that off for 20 years, but was it worth it? In the end yes it was. I do have not enough free time to hit a campus and go to school, and this worked out for me. Will my resume be passed ...

DeVry University : Computer Information Systems Reviews
June 13, 2011
You have to work really hard to fail. Otherwise, they would do anything to let you pass. I was there couple of years ago for three classes. In my SQL class, one guy couldn't show up more than 3rd of the course. He came back on the last day to drop the class and the teacher pulled him out of the class to talk. When they came back he stayed to finish the last day ...

I'm 32 years old and I have been studying computers for over eight years. I am very good at teaching myself new skills, and I have been attending Devry in San Antonio for over two years.

I just want to state the facts about my experience with Devry as a warning. Whether or not(you)the person reading this, want to heed my warning or not is your choice. I will say this much though, if you read this and still attend Devry, then sadly you deserve the results.

1. You will have outdated materials(eBooks)and software in a Citrix environment that almost never works properly.

2. The classes are rushed, and the material is completely irrelevant to current employer needs.

3. Because Devry is a for profit business, it's recruiters are paid to get you enrolled. They are extremely kind for the most part, and they will genuinely help you out in most circumstances, but I do see them walking around the school with potential students, and they do BS bad enough for me to consider them liers. Also, because of the business aspect of Devry, the school is always trying to save money by rearranging class structure to fit as many students in each as possible. I have seen CIS students attending their final project course as sophomores.

4. The price is way too high. I read someones post on here which said, "I would recommend Devry if it was free" and I completely agree and second it.

College is what you make of it, but this does not apply to Devry. It's a trimester college (accelerated) and you get only 7 weeks to learn about two or more subjects, and there are no breaks in between. What you will learn is so 'unimportant' when compared to what you need to know, that regardless of how hard you try the school will drag you... or your GPA...down.

If you really don't care about low standards, and are ok doing the coursework without learning anything, then it's easy to get good grades; and employers really don't care where you get your degree, so long as you have one. If they also require knowledge along with the degree...you're screwed. Read over the rest of the posts- they're pretty accurate.

Ps. If, after you have read through all these posts, you're still debating whether or not to attend Devry, then please have your parents read them over and research to school before you waste your money.

It depends on you,the school is there to give you information and direction then you have to prove that you are a university material,dont blame the school because you are not serious about your studies,most comments i have read about Devry are for those who dropped out,it depends on individual,i can get a CISCO,compTIA certification without going to a school,it doesnt make it less than somebody who did

I have been a DeVry online student for two years now and I have completed 20 some classes and what I have to say is that this is a great program. The learning environment over all is very good.  Financial aide and academic advising were always there when I needed them. Most of the professor were actual professionals in the industry and were of high academic standing. Don’t be fooled that it’s some kind of joy ride the courses are challenging especially if you’re working full time as well. 
I would recommend DeVry to anyone looking to further their education and think that the reason most of the people who have left negative feedback here did so simply because they couldn’t hack it.
