Harper is a great place to get an education for a lot less money! The professors here are actually really great and I was able to speed ahead of those I went to high-school with that chose to go to a bigger university. I had not even considered Harper originally, but I am so glad I decided to go here because I took the same classes everyone else was taking for about 10x less. I have no student loan debt and I have now just graduated with an associates degree AND a personal training certification which will allow me to get a higher paying job to help pay for school once I transfer. Everyone here is very helpful and really do want to see you succeed. Going to a 2 year is not a bad thing and can actually make you better prepared for life/ transferring to a bigger college later on. I highly recommend going here, especially if classes are going to be online for the next school year!
I took a summer course at Harper, and I immediately fell in love with the school community. My older sister went to and enjoyed Harper College as well! I am now a full-time student this fall semester; even under the uncertain circumstances we currently face, Harper still does a wonderful job offering resources and support for your academic success.
All professors I have had are very friendly and laid back. If I needed help understanding the material, they were there. If there is any trouble going on, whether you don't understand the material or are unable to meet certain deadlines, TALK TO THE PROFESSOR, MOST WILL BE UNDERSTANDING! Lol there's a Subway AND a Starbucks!
