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.

So far, my experience with Prairie State College has been positive. The teachers do their best to be flexible with their schedules for any and all students within their classes. I enjoy being able to work at my own pace whilst still being able to reach out to a teacher for assistance. The school also has tutoring and programs designed to help students succeed. I'm pleased with the service this school provides and its enthusiasm towards its students’ accomplishments. The only thing I believe this college could work on is having certain classes be available during seasons it is not currently available. This schedule could prevent some students from taking important classes when they are able to.
My online class experience was very good! Professors were very thorough in explaining assignments. The due dates were very reasonable. Communication, as far as answering emails and getting a fast reply was great.
