I am currently enrolling in the medical Assistant program. The school looks like it has a lot to offer. The help there is great. I met with Tanisha Williams and she is the best. She has been on top of my paperwork to get things going and done before my semester starts. The help you get and the people that help are great. You literally feel like you’ve known each other for so long. Thank you for everything Tanisha Williams!

I am in my second term, going into my third for the M.A program, and I really do love what the school does. When I applied this past June, I really felt the admission staff was really helpful and professional. The staff member that has helped me and my sister enroll is Tanisha Williams. She was one of the sweetest people you'll ever met. And even now, I still talk to her daily. So far, my experiences so far have been wonderful, and I am enjoying everything! Thank you to the staff, Professors, and administration!

I will be enrolled in the radiology tech program in January. Griselda was amazing in helping me throughout the admission process. She met with me twice in a week and made sure I understood the admission process and had all the documentation and testing complete and an interview set up. Because of Griselda’s effectiveness and efficiency and advocacy, I was able to take A&P 1 this semester so that I have a lighter load during one of the semesters of the rad tech program. I could not have asked for a better admissions advisor than Griselda to work with!

I am currently enrolled in the Medical Assistant program at the Bridgeview campus and I love it. I met with Brenda Williams in admissions, to get enrolled. She made the enrollment process simple and short. She was very helpful and let know everything i needed to know about the programs offered at Northwestern college and I went with the Medical assistant. The program is hands on and you are taught things that you will actually use on the job. I am excited to finish the program and go on to the college nursing program that is offered here.

As a former student (at the Chicago campus) I was thoroughly ripped off! And I KNOW I am not the only one. They charge university-level tuition fees for an educational quality well below that of most half-way decent community colleges. Seriously, this "college" (note the irony quotes) SUCKS! They do not go past the Associate degree level, making them literally no better than all but the worst community colleges. [And good luck transferring credits out!] How can the proprietors of this joke-of-a-school live with themselves, knowing that the majority of their students are underprivileged people struggling to attend their overpriced sham college, only to remain unemployed? (An Associate's degree is a fancy way of saying "college dropout" nowadays.) Because they lack any semblance of a conscience, that's how! The inhuman monsters who own/operate this scam have no qualms about extending the welfare line. P.S. For using the phrase "inhuman monsters" to describe the proprietors of this institution, I apologize to actual monsters. P.P.S. Notice how virtually all the 4 and 5 star reviews come from reviewers who reviewed no place else. Can you say PAID SHILLS?
