Sauk is a decent college for a decent price, however this is definitely a case of "you get what you pay for". The quality of professors is a game of a roulette based on which classes you take. Learning is incredibly self-directed, almost feeling like an online course in some cases. The largest area the school suffers in is the student culture. After a semester, I have found it very difficult to make friends or even to find situations in which I can make them. From what I hear our sports teams are decent, however I, like most of the student body don't really pay attention or attend games. To be honest, sometimes I forget we have a mascot.
I like that they offer events to get students involved. They offer a lot of classes and they also have free tutors. The library is nice. I like the campus. It's easy to find all the classes and to get help if needed. There is always someone there to help as you walk into the door. There is a lot of parking and easy to access. They even offer outside seating to enjoy the outdoors as well. I have not tried any food there yet but they do have vending machines. I like that they offer events for everyone they put together events for students and contest that anyone can be involved in and I have been involved in some of the events. The events are free and it;s easy to get to know people and find out more about the school. They added a nice gym for students. I like that perk of being a student. The bookstore offers everything you need with multiple people to help you find all the materials and books you need for the classes that you enroll in.
I really enjoyed Sauk Valley Community College. While I was there, I found that making friends was very easy. With small classrooms, you can make friends with everyone in the class. They have free tutoring to help you succeed. The only thing I had a problem with was if I had a question about loans, scheduling, and transferring to another school they did a poor job of addressing them.
