I love Rockford. It is such a great school. The student life is so diverse and involved. They have a culture fest where everyone gets celebrated. The academics are great too. The support they give us students is phenomenal. A person would have to try hard if they wanted to fail. The teacher, academic advisor and our tutoring program all brought to involvement if a student is failing and they hound the student to get help. There is no excuse for a person to fail. The classes are small, which means the professor can get to know each student during the semester on a personal basis and be more willing to help them if they are struggling. Rockford University is also great about including commuter students in activities on campus. This college is all about inclusion in all aspects and offers so many great things for students.
This will be my second semester here and already I have had such a different experience from my community college. You have an advisor who works with you every step of the way for all of the years that you are a student. They work with you on things such as registering, advice, withdrawing, degrees/degree changes, planning ahead, and more. The campus itself is a bit older but still very nice, though some classrooms can get pretty cold, and almost everything is within a 5-minute walking distance from each other. The campus grounds are beautiful, the staff are very helpful and friendly, the students are nice, and the college itself is great. Loving it and would recommend it to others.
I love the teacher-student ratio: the department that aligns with your major is like a second family! You can develop great relationships with professors and peers, it's a wonderful atmosphere.
