I was very optimistic coming to this school, that however changed very quickly. This school is so poorly run and there has been countless turnover in staff. The education is a joke! the "revamped business program" is run by a small business entrepreneur who had never even been to a chiropractor until he came to school, yet he is teaching the core of our classes such as buying and starting a chiropractic practice or chiropractic marketing. It seems silly to me to have a non chiropractor teaching these things but that is Northwestern's way as they always seem to find the cheapest way out when it comes to hiring teachers, that is probably why they keep replacing them each year. The most frustrating part about the school is the constant tuition increase with no real improvements to the school it self. It is an old middle school and the classes are disgusting, the tables are all cheap and broken and the locker rooms are infested with flies/bugs. The worst part is that at the open school meeting with the CFO we were told "I understand your frustration with the constant raises but we still rank in the low middle of the cost and we want to remain relevant and not have our cost to low". Now lets get to the Dean, he essentially just tries to please everyone and constantly goes back on his word, thats probably why the school doesnt know if its evidence based or philosophically based because depending who he talks to you get a different answer. Lets not forget all the recent changes and promises that have been changed or retracted... To begin he promised a T5 class during board sign up that it would be best to take boards in march and that he would "make sure" to change the midterm schedule to avoid those students from going through 16 midterms followed by Part 1 boards, this of course never happened and he went back on his word resulting in some poor board results for several stressed students. This current semester too I heard that he eliminated midterm weeks for students because he felt students didn’t need time away from class to study for tests and felt that students should always be on top of their studies for all 10+ classes at any time. This was a long rant but I hope it helps future students deciding to come here to really rethink that choice. I know if I could now I would change my choice without hesitation. I am just thankful I am long done with that place
