Illinois Central College Reviews

557 reviews

Illinois Central College has helped me towards my goal of transferring to a university and pursuing psychology. Academic Advisors are always available to help with your college career, and transfer plans! All of my ICC classes transfer to any of the universities I am interested in. I am a fully online student and have had trouble communicating to my professors and receiving a timely response. I would love to see the college put more pressure on professors to respond to online students.

Illinois Central College is an extraordinary school for students who aren't sure what they have a passion for. I personally started school there wanting to attain a business degree. The affordable classes allowed me to expand my education to topics like human anatomy, ceramics, and accounting and figure out what I have a passion for. I have since realized I enjoy human anatomy the most and am planning on transferring to university and eventually to med school. I wouldn't be pursuing medicine if it weren't for ICC and it's broad range of degree programs. ICC is also a great place for students who have a career in mind. It is truly a smart choice because of the affordability and the fact that the majority of classes there transfer to almost any university. All of the professors at this school have a passion for teaching and strive for student success. I haven't had one bad professor here. The academic advisors are also very helpful and they care about your future greatly. ICC is great.

Illinois central college is a great place for anyone looking for quality education for a lower cost. The teachers, faculty, and students are friendly, understanding and want to see you succeed. This is a great place to gain the foundation for transferring to a 4 year to peruse a Bachelors or continue studies. There are quite a few degree paths too choose from at ICC and they currently are working to always upgrade the facility with the best equipment which is awesome for passionate students who care about their environment. I would recommend ICC to anyone looking to get a start in college and to get the ball rolling.
