Sophomore: A lot of great Professors and resources, but the college success seminar that's mandatory is not very helpful, and the advisors are overworked. Most of the students here are kind and the Grayslake Campus is pretty nice. They got new chairs this past year and they're great! There are a lot of places that could be added onto the tour that they do, because I remember going on one and I didn't know that they had study rooms and music practice rooms until my 4th semester here....

Sophomore: Overall, the college is great! I was terrified to go to college but I've been fortunate to have good professors and a welcoming environment that made the transition easier! I truly wish they would make it a 4-year school considering its size and creditability. The only complaint I would have is with the cashier and financial aid offices, as they are not very helpful and tend to make you run around in circles to get any questions answered....

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 625 reviews

Sophomore: Overall, I've had a positive experience at prairie state college so far. While there have been some challenges along the way, I've learned a lot and grown as a person. I've had some amazing teachers who have inspired me to pursue my passions and have helped me develop my skills. I've also made some great friends from clubs I joined and community services I rendered. Of course, there have been some difficult moments too, such as when I struggled with a particular subject or had to deal with drama among my peers. But I've learned from those experiences and have come out stronger as a result. All in all, I'm grateful for the opportunities and experiences that college has given me."... Read 455 reviews

Freshman: I had a great experience at Richard J Daley College.. The staff was very nice and helpful., The teachers were very hands on with many different teaching styles.. The classrooms were comfortable and not over crowed..another good thing about city colleges is, they can prepare you for a 4 year program in a university.. Many four-year colleges and universities have enrollment requirements that someone isn't ready to meet. A community college can offer remedial classes and general classes to help a student obtain the education they need to pursue higher education, for a cheaper price, while boosting their GPA.. The only thing I would add in a city college is probably a office somewhere in the building, that focuses only on the grants that’s offered to the students.. Because in most universities they have a staff that focuses mainly on that aspect, because most students don’t know about the grants being offered to them to help pay for their education.....

Sophomore: I had a great experience attending Joliet Junior College to complete my associates degree! The College provided me with amazing resources and professors who truly care about their students. Joliet Junior College is an affordable school filled with many friendly people and interesting classes. I would love to have had some more advising from the counselors when it came down to planning my classes and transferring for my bachelors but overall loved attending here.... Read 980 reviews

Sophomore: Lincoln College of Technology is a Trade School. It is not a traditional college or university. I was always interested more in learning a trade rather than attending a 4 year college, although trade schools were not really given attention in high school like colleges were, Lincoln Tech was still the choice I made. I love working with technology, electrical systems and the EEST program at Lincoln Tech provides me with the material and instructors to help me learn, and become more familiar with the material. There are many opportunities for employment after graduating as it is not just focusing on a single thing. Electrical Systems is a massive industry and has many different employers. The EEST program at Lincoln Tech teaches students how to use and install fire alarm systems, cable and internet services, how to bend conduit, how to install outlets, switches, and how to use relays. There is a program that I am interested after I graduate that trains you in the food industry.... Read 31 reviews
