From admissions to the instructors this school definitely offers the best college experience I've had with minimal stress. Day one I was hands on with equipment. The classes are small and perfect for a lot of one on one help from the instructors.
This is a really good school I suggest it to anyone who really wants to be on the radio or even prepare to be on something like ESPN, this school will help you transform your dreams into reality.
One of the best schools in Illinois. I loved the staff and enjoyed the environment. Highly recommend.
This is the #1 school to attend if you want to be in the radio and film industry! The instructors are so knowledgeable and patient! They really care about their students succeeding and making their dreams come true! Best school and instructors hands down!
I was able to sit in on a class here, and the environment was amazing. The teachers are all passionate about their jobs and their students. I can honestly say there was not a bad moment while I was at the school!
Illinois Media School is a school for anyone who want to get into media but wasn't sure how to. I myself was one of those people who was in that situation. The first time I found out about this school was through social media. After contacting them and explaining everything and how I wanted to go into media but wasn't sure where to start. They opened the door for me to enter. All of the students, teachers are super helpful and friendly, I feel as though this place is my second home a home away from home. Once I'm done the career consoler will help me find a job in the field and that goes for any student that comes in. Even after graduating you are more than welcomed back and speak to future students who are here to learn and get into media.
I’m a graduate and Illinois media school gives you hands on experience and if you ask for help, they will go out of their way to help you, you just need to ask.
Illinois Media School is a Joke, I graduated almost 2 and a half years ago and I never got my diploma after graduation. I have tried for the longest to get in contact with anyone but no one will listen. On top of that the payment website is impossible to login into making it difficult to make payments.
Amazing school! So great to see how many successful students graduate pursuing their passion from a place were the best instructors lead! Tony Lopez, you are definitely one of them!
I had an extremely positive experience coming to school here- First at Lombard, but then they moved the location to O'Hare. All the staff are wonderful people, easygoing, easy to talk to, and they WANT to help you succeed. However, don't expect a free ride if you go here! You WILL have to put in work and effort yourself, and they aren't going to prop you up if you can't support your own efforts and dreams in some way. If you work for what you want here, you will absolutely find the best service possible. Thanks IMS!
Amazing school to learn, acquire or expand your knowledge in any form of Media. Amazing instructors. Teacher Tony really walked along side me in this journey !
I am a student at Illinois media and this school is a great opportunity for young entrepreneur.
Awesome school! I would recommend it!
Such a great school! I have collaborated with Tony(instructor) and his students. They have came to my University and filmed our basketball games and done interviews as well. They have enhanced our players experience. I recommend this institution 10 times over.
Tlo is great
A recruiter from this school just called me because I had entered a radio station contest that provided my information to them. Him calling me was fine, but how he spoke to me was not. He asked if I was looking to go to school to pursue a career in entertainment. I told him I went to Columbia College Chicago 10 years ago and work in the music industry, so I’m not interested. He asked what I do and I said I work in ticketing and work live events (one is full time and one is freelance). He asked what venue I work at and since my freelance job has me working at various venues, but I’m not employed by one, I said I don’t work for a venue. Then he came out of nowhere and said “ticketing is not the music industry, you don’t work in the music industry, I work in the music industry so I would know”. While yes, ticketing could be classified as “live events” vs, “music”, he called asking if I was interested in a career in the entertainment industry, and I was just trying to communicate that I’m happily employed in the field so I don’t need the school’s services. Not to mention my freelance work is through a company that I guarantee anyone who teaches at this school would confirm is in fact a major player in the music industry. I didn’t feel comfortable telling him where I work so I told him I didn’t know why I was defending myself to him and hung up. I’m not sure why he was so aggressively trying to tell me I was wrong, especially after such a short exchange, but it left a bad taste in my mouth about this school.
Perfect school to learn anything about production. Very informative and helpful even for beginners.
We have had the pleasure of working with students from this prestigious program at various event. We were most impressed by the curious nature of its student body willing to learn and ask questions. The staff do an excellent job creating a safe learning environment.
The experience here is so wonderful. Especially the hands-on teaching, you may start as a beginner but you will leave the campus as a pro.
Teachers are cool and the school is amazing in general 100%
