Prairie State College Reviews
Rating 3.61 out of 5 455 reviews
Overall, I've had a positive experience at prairie state college so far. While there have been some challenges along the way, I've learned a lot and grown as a person. I've had some amazing teachers who have inspired me to pursue my passions and have helped me develop my skills. I've also made some great friends from clubs I joined and community services I rendered. Of course, there have been some difficult moments too, such as when I struggled with a particular subject or had to deal with drama among my peers. But I've learned from those experiences and have come out stronger as a result. All in all, I'm grateful for the opportunities and experiences that college has given me."
Glad to have spent my first two years of higher education here at PSC. This school offers excellent value for students looking to transfer to other institutions like I will but also heavily depends on your own effort to determine how your experience will be during your time here.
The overall atmosphere of this school is pretty laidback and quiet, with most students coming to class and heading back home. That being said, I didn't really get a sense of a generic "college community experience" here but I still appreciated the work and effort put in by faculty, staff, and classmates nonetheless.
Since I started in early 2020 and just now graduated, half of my school year was online and half of it was in person. Like everyone else, I much rather prefer an in-class learning experience but professors here did make online learning a streamline and enjoyable experience.
Overall, I would definitely recommend this school to anyone looking for an affordable yet great learning experience.

Honestly, There is only a small percentage on teachers who are dedicated to actually doing their job. Professors often don’t like to be called out when making a mistake and often don’t into detail enough with assignments. Wait until the very last minute to assign work, If you take classes in person and become sick in anyway they offer automatic 0s. It’s better to just go to a university do not waste your time I have only been to Prairie State a full semester and I have left. This school is a joke
