The school has acquired quite a few amazing professors; They. the professors, are very understanding, they know the material very well. In high school, I had a great chemistry teacher but I always taught myself how to understand it, outside of class. The reason bein is because his teaching methods couldn't help me quite understand the material. Fast forward to college, there was a professor I had, I forgot his name, anyhow, he taught chemistry in a way I could understand and it increasingly built my confidence for the major I chose. I've met some brilliant and kind professors which isn't easy to find. However, I feel like the school itself could be more organize and the school is stuck in the past. I feel like a make-over (rebranding, new location, etc), could be beneficial and could help kids understand community colleges aren't bad; They help prepare you for universities, help you understand the curriculum, and make the transition 100% easier.
I absolutely loved this school. As a person, who was entering college with severe didaskaleinophobia (fear of school), I couldn't have ever imagined myself sitting in a classroom. But the staff is so kind and understanding. The school offers mental health service through their wellness center. This school allowed me to work on getting over my fear while also encouraging me to do the best I could academically. My teachers always looked out for their students and did everything they could to understand their situations without being too lenient academically. They offer various clubs and programs for people to make friends and overall the school has been a safe haven. It's location is in the center of the downtown area so there is plenty options for dining and transportation. Overall this school is truly amazing both academically and with its understanding of the diverse population of students.
As many other colleges from the city of Chicago, Harold Washington College is one of the nicest and with the best academic opportunities for the future students that attend this college. besides being one the affordable community colleges, they also have really good transferring opportunities and do as much as possible to make the students transfer to their dream school. All the faculty and staff are very friendly and helpful when any student is struggling academically but also mentally. They have the Wellness center in which they help students to be able to go in and talk to them whenever they are feeling overwhelmed and stressed about school or family situations. Overall, Harold Washington is a great college in which will open you to a lot of future opportunities and also help you grow as a person.
