Illinois college has become my home away from home, and also has been a place of great growth for me over my 4 years. I have grown both as an individual and as a student. I feel prepared for my future career as a Dentist and Class in Dental School because of the course work level and the amount of effort put in by my professors. Additionally, our campus always has something going on for students, from Student Involvement Center sponsored events to sports events, and Res-life events throughout the week there is always something to do! Additionally, our academics are top notch. During my time at IC I have been an Honors Scholar and participated in Student-Faculty Research looking at Dental Malocclusion. These opportunities would have been so challenging or impossible to get at a larger school. Illinois College remained in person for most of the pandemic, with safety protocols, and it helped me to still feel like a student during a very weird and crazy time. I am forever grateful for IC!
My favorite part about Illinois College was the connections between faculty and students. Professors genuinely care about student success and are willing to go the extra mile for them. The staff stood in solidarity with the student population against administration on multiple issues. This then connects to the lacking part of Illinois College: the administration. The administration seems to have little to no regard for student welfare. They cut multiple majors in the arts, such as theater, art, and music, while proclaiming to be a "liberal arts" college. This hypocrisy struck a cord with many students who were pursuing those fields. While the faculty and student atmosphere is amazing, the administration has a long way to go.
I overall have had a good experience with Illinois College. I chose IC because of the smaller campus size, the 1 on 1 time I would get with my professors, and the athletic facility. There are great perks to our school that make it stand out! For example, our textbooks are included, laundry is free, and on-campus jobs really work with your class schedules!
