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.
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!
The college is a great way to start my college goals. The prices for the tuition is very reasonable that my mother can afford . She is a single parent and they helped break down the cost. The books can be rented which saves money.
My older sister was a graduate in 2008 and transferred to Governors state and now has a Masters Degree in Criminal Justice.
I am going to take my Associates Degree and transfer to a university and purse my degree in Social Work.
i am on line now but the staff is still there for the students . They respond back at a timely fashion if i have questions about homework etc
I hope the campus is open this fall so i can join different activities and possibly the soccer team.
It is important to me to graduate with a high GPA so i can submit my application to several universities . From what i understand the counselor who helps students with their transfer is amazing . Because of the great reputation of the school it is easy to transfer to another school
