I suspect they may have to raise tuition to help with some of the debts. Although I'm rooting for this school I know the reality is more students are turning away from traditional college and turning to vocational and trade programs, which offers a quicker route to a paycheck and less debt. The government will start cutting back more on higher education. There are too many people going to traditional colleges and not enough people goingto the other types. College isn't for everyone.<br />Too much money is being waisted.tayiahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15726760068761320483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1167519580792566980.post-54962874589370210982012-02-13T16:52:45.992-06:002012-02-13T16:52:45.992-06:00Pretty buildings help recruit athletes.

Roosevelt will never have relevent athletic programs therefore a building like this will do nothing other than bury them in debt. Should have spent that money on bringing in top level Profs to make real students want to go there. No relevent athetlic programs, below average education, poor school reputation..no worries they have a pretty building.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1167519580792566980.post-48185988486800826312012-02-13T16:21:16.164-06:002012-02-13T16:21:16.164-06:00It must be a scary time for Roosevelt administrato...It must be a scary time for Roosevelt administrators, but I'm happy about the building and proposed field house down the street.

There is a lot of excitement around the school now with the sports teams being integrated into a division 3 class and they have been recruiting from all over the nation. This school is going to take off in the next 5-10 years especially with the new gymnasium that is going to be built!

I do think the building would look sleeker with out the logo, but even if it were removed, it would still block the Navy Pier fireworks view from my home.
