Graduate Student: It's hard for those that have to work to pay for tuition because it is a full time course. But if that's not a problem for you, then it's a great, fast paced, hands on program. Try not to miss because they do go over a lot so in one day you'll miss like a whole week worth of info and your grades can easily go down and you need a certain GPA to stay enrolled and not get kicked out....

Freshman: I love everything about DeVry University. The environment there is more that of a family. From the SSA’s on to the Professor’s faculty and staff, the main focus is your success. It easy and convenient being you have the option of online learning. The weekly web seminars with your Professor gives extra help with achievement. I was first skeptical and hesitant thinking I wouldn’t be able to learn from home. I was wrong, I’m now a 4.0 student on the Dean’s list. Put your fears to the side and step out on faith.

Junior: But what can I say everything at Roosevelt University seems to be everything I've been looking for I was a prior student at Robert Morris University graduated with my associates and felt like I had everything figured out. After doing some soul searching and finding the experiences I needed in my life to continue with college I came across Roosevelt University and read everything about what they offer and what they stand for and I felt like it was the place to be. This may be the first review but I would write another one once I'm done with my classes and my degree. As for now I say go Roosevelt University!... Read 1,001 reviews

Sophomore: I enjoy having the flexibility of on-campus and online courses at Northwestern. I’m a full time worker and single mom so I was skeptical about squeezing school into my busy life. Northwestern has amazing advisors who helped me with a schedule that fits my lifestyle. I’m now entering my third semester and so far my experience has been great. Online classes are convenient, efficient, and my teachers are great! I’m glad I chose this place to call my school home.... Read 102 reviews

Other: My experience in Midwestern Career College has been extremely helpful and meaningful. Everything was wonderful from the friendly admission team, the passionate teachers to the amazing students. The downtown building is beautiful with an amazing river view. Classes are always clean. Fun of campus activities. And the overall experience was just phenomenal. I totally recommend Midwestern Career College to anyone who want to take immersive English courses in the USA. We don’t only learn the language but also learn about the US culture and essential skills that will help us in our careers.... Read 40 reviews

Graduate Student: My educational and career path has been greatly aided by Oakton Community College. It gave me a strong foundation and priceless experiences that have formed my goals. Going to a community college was the best choice I made. I was fortunate to get a well-rounded education while attending Oakton Community College. The college is well known for its academic offerings, committed professors, and multicultural student body. I gained a comprehensive grasp of my topic of study, and it also assisted me in sharpening vital skills like critical thinking, problem-solving, and effective communication. Oakton provided me with a supportive environment and many resources. I remember the panic about choosing a college after finishing High School. As the first person to attend college in America, I needed more knowledge about college and someone to guide me through this process.... Read 575 reviews

Freshman: I've been attending Sauk for about two months and have really enjoyed my time there. The staff and employees are very nice and always ensure their students get the best education possible. There are many resources and areas for students to use. They have nice students hang out to allow students to do their work at school, and plenty of help resources for any circumstance. I plan to continue my education at Sauk for the next year and so on in their nursing program, and I look forward to seeing the new additions they are working on now, and possibly even more in the future!...

The only change I would like to see here at ECC is an improvement in Student Life, as the clubs and school events are pretty lack luster here.

Freshman: The professors are great and gives you time to learn about what you want to major in! I enjoyed how much my success coach wanted to help me and how much they cared for their student's success. I learned so much at Lincoln Land and saved so much money in the long run which has helped me out tremendously. I was nervous about going there because all of my other friends had found their footing at 4-year universities, but it gave me the chance to do things at my pace and have the opportunity to take it slow. I would recommend Lincoln Land to anyone who wants to further their education, but wants to do it at the pace that suits you. The professors really do care a lot about you and try their best to help you learn, even the hardest of concepts. The student life likes to put on activities to make it feel more like college. Overall, I appreciated my time at Lincoln Land and would not take it for granted.... Read 313 reviews

Sophomore: As a first-gen college student, my experience at the University of Illinois Springfield was transformative. The university provided me with an opportunity for self-discovery and navigating the challenges of higher education. Joining the Necessary Steps program, designed for first-generation and diverse students, profoundly impacted my journey. Became my support system and family away from home. Through this program, I found a community of individuals who understood my unique obstacles. The resources and guidance offered by the program helped me navigate and thrive academically. The friendships I formed extended beyond the classroom, providing a network of support throughout my college years.The university's inclusive environment fostered cultural exchange, broadening my appreciation for diverse traditions while embracing my own heritage. I want to see more cultural events would enhance inclusivity. Overall university's support and cultural exposure shaped my journey.... Read 493 reviews

Graduate Student: I started my first year at LCCC at the peak of the Pandemic in the fall of 2020. Every one of my classes for that first year were virtual classes met over zoom or asynchronously. While my preferred learning method is hands on, I will say that the professors of Lewis and Clark Community College made the best of the circumstances, and I had a great time. I was only there for two years to get my associates degree, so I can't say that I saw enough of the school to have any opinions on what I would have liked to see change.... Read 241 reviews

Freshman: For starters; the Palos Hills Campus is beautiful; with impeccable landscaping and scenic views…It’s better than your average 2 yr college. This location has a lot to offer in regards to student life and the staff seemed professional and friendly for the most part! I got a late start in the registration process but I was able to navigate fairly easily to get started on time for the fall semester. The college is diverse when it comes to the student enrollment, and as a minority student, I didn’t feel any bias concerning race etc. The staff especially in the Liberal Arts Department, which is my field of study…was very kind, and helpful. In regards to the things I didn’t like?…I wish they had dorm rooms so I could live on campus Lol! But the staff in the bookstore seemed a bit rude and disorganized! There were only two lines open and our cashier left her station leaving us hang out in line as other students in the other line were served before us. Overall, I would recommend. 2 thumbs up....

Sophomore: I've had a really positive experience attending Danville Area Community College. I began taking classes when I was a sophomore in high school. The courses I have taken, satisfied both the high school requirements as well as college requirements. When I graduated high school, I already had 55 college hours. This allowed me to attend DACC one more year before transferring to a 4-year college. This in-turn will help to keep the college cost down for me. The teachers I have had have been really supportive. I enjoy the smaller classes, as this allows more teacher to student ratio. DACC also has numerous scholarships each year. I was lucky enough to receive one and feel so fortunate. Nothing but a positive experience here.... Read 200 reviews

Alum: Northern Illinois University is a campus full of a diverse student and faculty population. It’s not a perfect place. Some professors have racial biases and harsh grading, you may clash with some students, but you will find a tight knit community, friendly and welcoming staff and students. A variety of majors to choose from. A diverse age range of students - from 18 year old first time students to 30+ year olds returning to college to start a degree or complete previously unfinished degrees. There’s fun activities to take part of, on campus events regularly, great local dining options and it is truly a memorable experience to attend. Go Huskies!... Read 2,748 reviews

Junior: Going to college at SIUC has been so wonderful. The beauty that Southern Illinois has to offer really sealed the deal for me, I enjoy hiking on the weekends and whenever I need a good study break. SIU really has been great to me. They're very considerate and have been very understanding when I reached out for help. There's tons of fun events that the school holds which includes free food and t-shirts which is super fun. My only complaint is that the parking division is rude and hands out tickets left and right, but I think every University is like that. It has been so fun to go to school here and enjoying the beautiful campus and events the school holds. I really appreciate the scholarships that SIU gives out, they're very generous with both scholarships and grants. The dorms are great and the food at the dining hall is actually amazing. Also, Carbondale is so fun! Especially the bars! SIUC is a really safe, fun environment and I couldn't of asked for a better place to go to college.... Read 2,059 reviews

Sophomore: Many people have there thought about a college or university and just like everyone else I had mine. I thought that college was not going to be anything like high school when it came to how the teachers care about you and for you. Coming from a small town, Rend Lake College was like home away from home. The faculty at Rend Lake College are the most caring people that you will ever find. I am a student-athlete at Rend Lake which means I have to miss class every now and then for games and the professors are so understanding when it comes to turning in homework or taking a test.

Alum: Waubonsee has been a positive part of my local community for as long as I can remember. It has been a reliable place to consider for continuing education locally. The programs offered have only expanded and improved with time. Online courses have greatly improved, compared to ten years ago. I have taken classes here off and on throughout my adult life. The past two years I attended full-time to complete my associates in science, with intent to transfer into a radiography program. During my time here, I have encountered minimal issues with professors. There were only two instructors that I can recall being less than helpful or clear about teaching course information effectively. College administration staff have always been helpful with answering my questions, and assisting me with course recommendations that fit my long-term career goals. I would definitely recommend and attend in the future if needed.... Read 620 reviews
