Very supportive throughout the whole time you go to school here! And they really care and keep in touch with you once your an alumni! Their eager to see everyone succeed and rise to their true potential.

Enrolling in Illinois Media school has been one of the best decisions Ive made. Starting out I was a little nervous but it has definitely enhanced me as a person and one seeking to master my profession. The question you will always get from the staff is How are you doing? I was amazed at the concern the staff had in helping me with my work and assigned projects. I can say Im glad to be a student and soon alumni of the school. I have learned what I needed to know and more.

The staff on campus has been very helpful and willing to help me learn the day I stepped foot on this campus. They have helped me in both my professional life and my personal life and most importantly when I have given up on myself they continue to give me the motivation to move forward and because of that I have hope for my future in media. If you are thinking about attending Illinois Media School there is no need to think anymore because its a decision that you will never regret!!

IMS is a great school for any aspiring media professional. I appreciate the staff most, always looking out for me when life hits. Theyre like my family. Im excited for the journey and will continue to do the work.

Love the dedication and expertise all the staff and instructors show day in and day out. The perfect place for anyone thats interested in getting their dreams off the ground and taking that chance that may just change their life if youre ready and willing to commit and just have an open mind!!!

Very good communication skills, if you need help getting something done..they are right on it. The staff is all about helping you learn rather than just helping. Highly suggest if you are thinking of stepping into the multimedia/content world then this is the place to be. Keep it up IMS!

I love this school so much, they really show you how to do everything like filming, editing, and building your brand

I’m a returning student! I left because of the unprofessional services! The school was cliqued up and though this industry requires networking, I feel like if you weren’t locked in you got the short end of the teaching. Don’t get me wrong, some of the instructors were dope, while some were garbage! I stayed discouraged and eventually left. I’m back and it’s still not worth giving my financial aid or my hard earned cash! You only get 1 hour teaching and homework due the next day! While this is a fast paced environment, you can’t even complete assignments because of the faulty and limited equipment! The director of campus Chicago blocked me from my classes at one time and had me logging in as a guest other times, preventing me from chatting with my group and receiving assignments! She even tried to slander my name and exaggerated the truth! I reached out to the better business bureau and to NelNet to see if they can help. Today. I emailed a director and I’m waiting for a response! I like to deal with facts and I’m straight forward, so hopefully we can get a resolution! I won’t say that it’s a bad school, As with anything else I would just suggest you research and choose wisely before you dive in! I’m giving a second chance because I want to finish what I started, but I tell you, everytime Im there, I question myself WHY DID I ENROLL HERE, OF ALL PLACES? I’m ready to GIVE UP AGAIN!

I learned a lot at Illinois media school better than going to a regular college and I like it a lot because I’m learning a lot and stuff

This institution will not let me drop my class after I specified my disinterest. This is a proprietary school and they are only after your MONEY. DO NOT GO HERE. Your classes are only one hour, leaving you with no time to retain knowledge and you don’t learn your craft anyway. There is a large rigmarole around the structure - they are moving buildings at the start of the semester. There is no contact details to reach administration when needed. I went to the school to talk about the disorganization and though online specified the school was open - no one was there at 3pm.A complete waste of time and I don’t see it lasting in the near future.Update: Spoke Administrative Director, very nice and understanding and was able to help with my withdrawal from this institution. The Chicago location needs a lot of reforming and it could be a good media school.

Illinois Media School is a great source to get on to your next step in your career/life. The staff and students make you feel welcomed and comfortable. I learned a lot as a student here at IMS and gained a lot of knowledge in just the 8 months of being in the program.

I’ve attended Illinois media school for two programs I have to say it’s a very friendly and safe and environment ! Great hands on training loving staff members who give you a family a way from home !

Great Staff friendly and professional environment. A great place to jump start your career in media and film broadcasting 💯

Bro since I started this school I learned great skills to help me advance my youtube/ streamer skills.

Illinois Media School is great if you want to get your foot in the entertainment industry, and IF this is something that youre PASSIONATE about!!From the top down, the education coordinators and directors, Lauren and Tinka, theyre amazing!! The teachers, Os is a great teacher!! Really learned what he was teaching!! Fred too!! And LaDonna is super awesome!!

And Olivia, the student coordinator, always has your back and pushes you to work hard and maximize your potential!!Just make sure you attend the classes on campus all the time, and listen and pay attention to what theyre teaching!! Ask questions!! Go over it, again and again!!They have a variety of classes, youll touch up on radio broadcasting and how to create your own show and learn the format, how to create and run your own podcast, camera, Wordpress, LinkedIn, Audition, Premiere, creating a video package, news segment, music video, etc.Im just excited to learn all these new things and acquire new skills, to add to my arsenal!! Its so much fun learning these new things!!But most of all what I REALLY love, it will give you structure as an individual!! A direction!! And things you didnt know you were interested in, in the first place, youll discover that you now like...!!Just be serious, learn as much as you can, and take advantage of all that theyre offering you!! I think youll be fine... :) ;)

I’m new to IMS and so far I feel like I’m apart of a family that’s really going to support me throughout my journey. My expectations are very high & IMS has met them thus far! I’ll keep posting!

I love the staff!! They are all so helpful and wise.

Absolutely a scam they take so much tuition money, financial aid only covers so much, the equipment is outdated, the staff is inexperienced, the jobs are non existent, plan on being a intern for a long time. I got my refund after only a month.

Great experience so far in my journey

I attended Illinois Media School back in 2007. IMS placed me in a internship downtown where I instantly started to make connections to people in the industry. Directly after graduation I landed my first on-air gig. Along with my three hour show I voiced and produced spots for the station. This first on air job then led me to host a top 40 station in afternoon drive, as well as a political talk show with their AM sister station. I love my career in radio and I couldnt have done it with out IMS!!

I OVER LOVE IT HERE WHICH IS THE EXACT REASON WHY IM BACK! Returning Broadcasting Host.YES! I am AMERICAS NEXT TALK SHOW HOST & IMS“CHICAGO” of Course #PERIODT WILL SUPPORT THAT🤞🏾The OVER SUPPORTIVE ADMIDS do their thing in PRODUCING My CRAFT & THE DOPEST REALEST MEMBERS IN THE GANG (INDUSTRY🥂🍾) AS INSTRUCTORS & THE MONEY TEAM 😎✨& THEM #BOSS💰❤️! I just Love MY CAMPUS😍 & you would too THEY HELP BRAND ME 😉#REMEMBERDAT😎✨🎙#ChicagoLadiLo✨🤍#JanDaysENT2021🤞🏾💯

I was good when I enrolled but this School is making my business cutting edge by enhancing my skill set, providing internships, and building networking business relationships.

IMS canbteach you everything you need to know to become a professional in the field of media and broadcasting.

I was able to attend Illinois Media School at night while working a full time job which was a big plus for me. I had great instructors that were in the business, so the information they were giving us was relevant to what I wanted to do. The class sizes were small enough where you could form a relationship with the instructors which helped me a lot.The projects we were working on also taught us how to do things but they were also fun. We went to Wrigley Field while the Cubs were in the Playoffs and shot some video of fan reaction and got to interview a couple of fans. We also went to the NorthHalsted Halloween Parade and shot video of the parade and all the costumes and talked with some of the people in the parade.They also helped me find a job in a industry I was interested in. They set up an interview for me and the rest is history. I am still working there now and I am about to celebrate my 2 year anniversary at the company.I would recommend Illinois Media School to anyone that is looking to do something new with their career and is looking to expand their knowledge in the field of media.

Be careful. This school teaches you more about radio than television...They have more radio equipment than television,They also have more radio classes than television.Plus some of their instructors don’t show up or don’t know what they’re talking about.This school sucks! Not worth it & Now I’m stuck paying!

Good & helpful school

My time at Illinois media school was more than wonderful very family oriented I still feel the love whenever I come back to visit many opportunities have come my way such as being a host on Power92 not once but twice I can go on and on but I’ll end with this you’re not enrolling into a school but you’re joining a family ❤️

Good Instructors. Very hands on. Friendly Environment. Oh yeah🤔 free transportation courtesy of the school! 🚈

Im a prospective student and a USAF veteran. Ive been misguided for years and IMS brought me to the light... No more MGIB left for me, but I think Voc Rehab is just what I need to get back into the workforce. No more going to Electrician Apprentice training for me! I really like IMS curriculum as a trade school and I want to double major. Im so excited just gotta tie up some loose ends before I relocate. Chicago campus is my destination as it has been close to home and evaded me since 2010. Better late than never! Thanks IMS!!!

I absolutely love this school and Monet is everything....I’m so thankful for all she did for me and supporting me in my journey. Thankful to ChiBlizz for believing in me and taking chance on me. I must say that school works if your work . Going to IMS changed my life in so many ways.

I cannot say enough good things about the assistance and support that was impressed upon me by the staff, particularly Lilli W. the Financial Aid Advisor and Karli R. the Senior Admissions Coordinator. They left me confident about my prospects for success.

When ever I try to contact them at a certain district no how early I call them I always get sent to voice mail and they don’t even try to call me back even when I tell them it’s Very important.

Many of these instructors pictured here are people actually currently employed in the industry. In my life experience...invaluable!

Illinois Media School has a good concept but in my opinion, lack the direction & focus for students. I wholeheartedly agree with you get out of it what you put into it. I graduated in 2018 and it has changed my life, but my issues with Illinois Media School first came with repetitive learning. Because of the tiny class sizes, we would eventually join 2 other classes that started before and after us. We learned the same thing at least 3 different times because we had to catch everyone else up so that we could all move forward in the same lesson. Also this school could take into consideration on what classes you force people to take, I was strictly there for radio. But I spent weeks on creating a music video and other videography jobs that I felt was completely irrelevant to me. Perhaps it could be presented as an elective. But instead of learning videography that time could have been spent on voice training, a more in depth lesson on Adobe Audition, actually learning a board, learning some of the professional lingo in the industry, etc. One of the things I was excited about was that I didnt have to take those pesky GE classes that you have to take at a traditional college or university. But in reality this school isnt any different because a lot of us were still forced to take classes we did not want to take. Thanks for reading have a great day =)

Great staff , & A Amazing School

DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!! This school is a complete fraud!

I don’t have infu money

Friendly teachers, but bad equipment. waste of money.
