I am very pleased with my experience at Rockford University. I am receiving a high quality education, close to home. I have completed one semester of classes at Rockford University after transferring with my associates degree last semester. Every professor/advisor I have met so far has been very helpful and they want nothing more than for their students to succeed.
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.
I took 2 classes online my first semester at Rockford University and the teachers were fantastic with the online community. Mid-way through the semester, all classes were forced to go online. While it was a challenge for some, my professors tried their best to ensure their students still felt heard and understood the material they were learning.
