Northwestern health sciences university Review

Dr. Vincent is great. And so are her asst. Interns.

Great resource for healthcare providers! Its extensive selection of supplements also makes it a great resource to send patients for local pickup when you need something quick and dont care to ship!

Wish I could've given it no stars. But one star will definitely work. The school is overpriced for what it has to offer. I don't believe you should have to pay $100,000 to learn a skill that can be taught for way less. Not to mention if you take on the program you have to take a loan out for living expenses. So it'll probably cost around $200,000 when it is all said and done. The program does not give you enough business and hands-on experience to be successful as a chiropractor. They say their science-based curriculum will help you when you get out in the field. Sadly enough that is not true. I've talked to numerous chiropractors who have went to that school, and have been dissatisfied about the information they learned. My advice if you're going to pursue a chiropractic education probably wait 10 years. How much you were going to make coming out of school will not even pay off the loans in 10 years.

Teaching office. You can usually get the same doctor every time, but almost always a different intern. Never had a problem.

Best school around. They are dedicated to help you succeed and are willing to go the extra miles to do so. I honestly love it here so much.

Not just for college students. Northwestern Health Sciences University Bookstore is a treasure trove. Looking for the perfect gift? I bet you'll find something here!

I think the College of Chiropractic is offering an overpriced education for the market.

So you want to be a chiropractor...

While morally rewarding there are several key reasons I d persuade new students from going the route of chiropractic. Don t get me wrong, I love chiropractic, but from a financial standpoint, it s a major disaster.

Before getting any degree, look up what the average professional earns in the said field. That number, let s say $80,000 (the average in MN) shouldn t be more than what you need to take out in student loans to get the degree (with hopes of paying them back in a reasonable amount of time anyways). Currently the price tag of a chiropractic degree is in the realm of 156,000 without any living expenses. Add in your undergraduate degree and you are right at about 200k or so. Fiscally the numbers don t add up. (Something I wish had told me prior to going to school).

Now there will be people telling you, don t worry about the cost, everyone pays them back just fine because there are programs for dismissal after 20yrs etc... and income based repayment... whatever. However keep in mind that those student loans, will be on your credit report, and despite the amount you pay on income based repayment, banks will be required to use the actual amount you re supposed to be paying when determining whether you can get a mortgage on a house. So just be prepared to have to rent for a long time.

The other problem I have with chiropractic, is that chiropractors are notoriously bad payers. To make decent money in the profession, you really need to own your own clinic. Most associate positions had a base pay of 30-50k and rarely pay over 60 with bonuses And no benefits. You have to be prepared for 40-50 hours a week of work plus lots of marketing outside of work hours. Same goes for if you own your own clinic too hours wise.

Now if you can pay cash for your degree, by all means go out and do it. It s a phenomenal profession to be in. The body can do amazing things to heal itself without medical intervention or drugs/surgery and helps a lot of people. However, for your own financial security and stress, there are tons of other professions, particularly ones you can do with just a 4-year degree that pay better that can be just as rewarding.

Just my 2 cents. Don t discount the financial burden of a chiropractic degree.

Unfortunately, if you have to take out more than $100k in student loans, chiropractic is a bad choice. Right now, most students take between 170-240k for chiro degrees at northwestern. It s too late for them, but do some soul searching... do you want to have student debt for the next 25 years that prevents you from getting a mortgage And makes life more difficult.

I guarantee you, there my experience and feelings about the financial burden is not unique. Most of the chiros I graduated with no longer practice and a common theme being regret of going to chiro school.

Avoid the biggest financial disaster of your life. Getting this doctor title isn t financially worth it.

To be honest, I m surprised there hasn t been a class action lawsuit on this for profit school yet. There is supposed to be a positive return on investment, not a lifetime of debt you ll never pay off without loan forgiveness programs. (25yrs before you qualify)

So before you decide, Google what a chiropractor makes in a year where you want to practice. It s despairingly low for the cost of the degree.
