I started at Chamberlain University in September after specifically asking my advisor whether I would have any out-of-pocket expenses. I was assured that I would not have to pay anything out of pocket because my financial aid and scholarship would cover the costs. Based on that information, I made the decision to enroll. When I checked my student portal last month, I was told that my financial aid funds had not been disbursed yet, so I waited. Now it's October, and I'm seeing a balance of approximately... Read More $3,000 for September and another $5,000 for the November session. I was misled because I made it clear from the beginning that I could not afford to pay out of pocket. That's exactly why I asked before starting the program. Had I known I could potentially be responsible for thousands of dollars, I would have reconsidered enrolling. Another concern is the number of classes students are required to take each semester, including courses that don't appear directly related to their program of study. In my experience, the information I received before enrollment did not match what I'm now seeing on my student account. Students deserve clear, accurate, and transparent information about tuition, financial aid, scholarships, and any potential out-of-pocket expenses before committing to a program. Unfortunately, based on my experience so far, I would not recommend Chamberlain University. Please make sure you get everything in writing and confirm exactly what your financial aid and scholarships will cover before enrolling.

I am a graduate of Chamberlain Chicago. It's a professional school, but guys - it is so expensive. As a nurse, you work so hard for your paycheck - difficult work! I establish this because for how hard I am working - I have to write off chunks of it to pay for bills and this schoolingl
Go to a community school, get your Associates, and then have a hospital pay for continued schooling. That is SO much wiser financially. I am still paying large unfortunate chunks of my hard-earned paycheck for this... Read More education that I could have gotten for much less.
I would not advise, unless you have more money than you know what to do with. It is so much money here.

My husband was diagnosed with cancer and with a newborn and toddler at the time it was a traumatic. Knowing we have no family in our area it forced me to re-evaluate my life. Chamberlain has been BEYOND supportive and I KNOW they want me to succeed. I am in the RN to BSN to MSN expedited bridge program. It has not been easy, but going to college this time around is different. I actually am enjoying it, because the first time I went to college it was out of necessity for a career and purpose. This... Read More time I CHOSE to go back and not only for my sake but to ensure financial security for my family. I definitely looked at a bunch of different colleges, but I chose Chamberlain because I knew of their high standards and the great nurses that come out of their program as I have worked with many of them. I do not regret my decision to choose Chamberlain. I am more than grateful to Chamberlain. If you are unsure whether or not to choose them? Do it. You will not regret it. I never thought colleges cared about student's success but this college truly does and they make you feel like family because the educators and staff are so invested in your success.

I have obtained ny BSN, MSN, and now Iam working on my DNP, so, Yes, I would absolutely recommend Chamberlain University to others. The academic rigor, supportive faculty, and commitment to developing competent, compassionate nursing professionals make it a strong choice for anyone pursuing a nursing degree.

Chamberlain was not my first choice, but it has absolutely been the best choice for me.

Overall, Chamberlain University has so far met my expectations, and I look forward to continuing my education here.

Hello,

I have been with Chamberlain for a long time. I had my bachelors in nursing with them. After that, I got my FNP masters with Chamberlain and now getting my Psych mental health NP with them. The experience have been wonderful. I’m actually sad that I’m graduating end of this month and leaving.
Passing FNP boards was easy.
Now hoping to pass PMHNP boards next month.
I might come back for my doctorate.

Good luck and best wishes to the school and professors. All professors have been kind and understanding.... Read More

Dear Students,
PLEASE DO NOT JOIN Chamberlain University. Their BSN program is a small fish to catch you for MSN program.
Any MSN program is a nightmare. You will NOT see that in the syllabus and They won't tell you upfront.
- No Help for anything Practicum site and training.
- Enter 125 hours just as patient's hours which is waste of time
- VICE Calls are with no help but judged
- CEA Exams are not graded but you have to pass
- Practicum is painful for students and Will get your money before you hit the... Read More floor

Chamberlain University has been a rewarding and meaningful experience in my process to pursue becoming a nurse. Being a student trying to handle school, work, and family, I really like the degree of flexibility in online learning. I found it very straightforward to follow that course structure, each week a module and discussion posts, along with homework, etc., to help me stay organized and focused on my studies. Having this consistency has helped me to gain better time management and study habits.... Read More Chamberlain’s advantages are that it lends itself well to good professors and academic resources. Many of my professors are responsive, supportive, and dedicated to student growth. They offer constructive criticism for assignments and are also available to answer clarifying questions if you have questions. The Chamberlain Library and tutoring aid have been helpful too for research papers and getting started on exams, as well as when studying for papers. The course content is pertinent and geared towards the students for what they will encounter in-practice nursing. Courses focusing on anatomy, psychology, and professional nursing concepts have given me a solid basis in academics. I also very much like that it promotes professionalism, reflection, as well as personal development, as well which prompts the students to reflect on the future of nursing and their purpose. One aspect that has room for improvement is financial support, and support, assistance, and scholarships would be really helpful. A lot of students are facing heavy obligations, so more are doing the above. I really have enjoyed Chamberlain University overall. Structure, support, and flexibility have helped me push through my schooling to the next step towards a career for me to positively impact others.
