Rally Pat Posted July 30, 2007 Report Share Posted July 30, 2007 I like it so far, lots of hot girls (contrary to what everyone told me), many of them in CIS and NSA/NCM, but most are there for nursing. I have easy classes and hard classes, and I have all professors who I understand (I seem to have dodged all of the foreign guys) and I like all of them. They all seem to have a good sense of humor, while taking their subject seriously. Of course, it is still just the first trimester, and I could still leave, but I will most likely end up staying for a second. The people around me that seem to dislike the place are the "hardcore partier" crowd, all the guys that walk in and smell like cigarettes and beer. All the nerds like me seem to be enjoying it. Networking has also been an enjoyable experience so far, and we just did some DOS networking, something that I have always wanted to learn how to do.

Miller Posted July 30, 2007 Report Share Posted July 30, 2007 I learned a lot about computers and networking while I was at DeVry for my freshman year, enjoyed some of my professors, and had some fun with some select students while there, but I still disliked the school. I guess it was because I had a bubbler and a flask in my backpack everyday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffmeden Posted July 30, 2007 Report Share Posted July 30, 2007 Yeah, devry is definitely a 'like it or hate it' school that takes a certain personality type to really enjoy. When did they start offering nursing classes there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokin5s Posted July 30, 2007 Report Share Posted July 30, 2007 I attended DeVry... worst school eva. things must have changed since I went there, there was only one hot chick going there when I did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lustalbert Posted July 30, 2007 Report Share Posted July 30, 2007 It wasnt bad when I was there, but at the time I was more into the partying life of living on OSU Campus, so I didnt always acomplish the drive down there in a timely fashion. As in my second semester I shceduled nothing before noon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrblunt Posted July 30, 2007 Report Share Posted July 30, 2007 Your lucky enough to come in after the nursing school opened. Prior to that, huge nerd sausage fest. The only bangin chicks there were the chicks in admission, and there are a few smokin ones in there. The sucker you in w/ their hotness only to stick you in school with 99.9% dudes that couldn't score with them if they had GHB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supplicium Posted July 30, 2007 Report Share Posted July 30, 2007 Im about to graduate from there. I hate it. I hate all nerds there laughing about cartoons and WOW. I have not learned one thing in 3 years but thats OK with me cause I dont do shit and will get a degree. Its amazing how many girls came to the nursing school I feel very very sorry for them. The admissions girls though are dimes. I am one that fits in the "party crowd" but I have met a good group of friends that are actually normal and not idiots. I am happy with my overall experience though with DeVry. The school is fast paced and kept me on track. If I went to Miami/OU or OSU like I was planning on I dont think I would have graduated because when I was first in college I was not nearly as mature as I am now. What program are you in? I graduated from NSA and I am going to graduate from NCM in Feb or May. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rally Pat Posted July 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2007 NSA right now, NCM down the road Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GRN96WS6 Posted July 30, 2007 Report Share Posted July 30, 2007 I always hear people say they hated it but honestly when I went there from 97-00 I liked it, granted it wasn't your typical college situation but still I liked it. I loved being done in 3 yrs as opposed to 4. I liked the small classes and the friends I had and still have from there. I'd go back and I'd encourage someone who asked me what I thought of it to go. I guess like people say its either a love it or hate it school. You also have to be prepared to not have the typical college experience but with OSU so close you could still have that experience if you so desired.

Akula Posted July 30, 2007 Report Share Posted July 30, 2007 DOS networking, as in Disk Operating System? Or Denial of Service? Will you learn anything about technology that is currently used? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Jones Posted July 30, 2007 Report Share Posted July 30, 2007 DOS networking, as in Disk Operating System? Or Denial of Service? Will you learn anything about technology that is currently used? LOL, I was just going to post this same thing. WTF are they teaching ? At least when he graduates he'll be able to network windows 95. Then he has to go back for his masters to learn 98 -Xp.

Akula Posted July 30, 2007 Report Share Posted July 30, 2007 Knowing the past points to the future, I just hope you learn some current technology.

Supplicium Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 I went through the same program and never did any type of legacy type networkings. NCM is all current technology. My advice to you is do all your classes in 8 week accelerated format. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lanczakb Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 I personally hated DeVry. Learned nothing and paid a descent amount to do so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not just some observer here, I am a WiFi trainer for a silicon valley tech company. I learned C# instead of cobol in the EET program (that was in 04-05). If they keep the structure up like they did for us, it should be an up to date program. The school is what you make it. Spend LOTS of time in the lab. The labs they give tend to be cookie cutter, so you need to think and play out side the box. Stick to it and try to apply what you learn.

tristanlee85 Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 The one thing I really enjoyed from DeVry is the programming. I hated Java development until I took a Java class. I passed with a 61% because I had no clue what I'm doing. Now I love the language. I've been applying for positions left and right and hopefully I'll get one soon enough. For EET/CET students, the Senior Project can be interesting. Since we are engineers, you can do your project on whatever you want. My roomate was in CIS and her group had to do projects for other companies. That would have sucked. We get to make fun stuff. I started building a extra injector controller with a programmable interface, but I started my project in an online class and worked alone. Once I started taking the Senior Project class, I was told I had to work in a group. We're now designing a touchscreen system in a car with a Java application that will pull music library information from a remote SQL database and allow the users to create playlists within the touchscreen and stream the music using a wireless connection or using a cell phone Internet connection.

Rally Pat Posted July 31, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 The program is very up to date, but he said DOS is something that everyone should learn, and I agree. This will also be the first trimester where Vista will play a vital role. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
