Not only did I save money going to a two year, but I felt like I got the experience of a four year. The facilities are almost all brand new, the campus is beautiful. There is a lake on the campus that looks amazing at sunset. There are multiple places to study with a view and to hang out with your friends.
Harper has a cafeteria that is pretty good for a two year. They have a lot of variety for cheap. I was a Track athlete at Harper College so I would stay on campus from 8am to 10pm everyday. This cafeteria saved my appetite and my wallet.
The teachers were always very helpful! With medium sized classes, I was able to form connections with my teachers that helped me throughout the semester but also hide if I wanted.
As an athlete I spent most of my time in the Health and Recreation Center, by far one of the best gyms I ever worked out at! I'm still trying to find a gym like this one at other places. They had all the equipment you needed!
I would recommend this school to anyone!

Harper is such an underrated school! It has great facilities, great professors and certification programs. They have also started to add 4 year programs. If you are looking to save some money and take the same classes you would at a big university for thousands less, this is a great place to start or continue your education!
I have attended Harper College longer than I would have liked but my time at the school has been a very positive experience. The different departments and resources are very helpful as a new and current college students. I would change the prices of each course, but for a community college the prices are fantastic!
