Prairie State College is a great junior college. The instructors provide students effective teaching methods; therefore, students are able to grasp new information quickly. The staff and students are friendly; therefore, making this small campus very inviting!
Prairie State College is an amazing school. I recently transferred from another college to Prairie State. My experience has been great so far. I've met new people and I've learnt a lot from my new professors.
The environment is very conducive for learning. There are amazing facilities that allow for visual learning and interactive practical sessions. The professors are very open to helping students in whatever way they can. The students in the school are also helpful.
The library has great materials for learning and research. Prairie State is an amazing school and I hope to graduate soon with an Associate’s degree.
