    My overall experience at Triton was fantastic. The only thing i would change is the hiring of professors. I have had mostly amazing teachers but others were absolutely terrible. As if they did not care about what they were teaching. If i could have stayed at Triton College to get my bachelors, i would have!

    Triton College has been influential in my career. Triton has several available resources for careers, fields, financial aid, and student services. Triton College is affordable in comparison to other local community colleges and offers a wide range of programs. Programs include degree programs, certificate programs, and continuing education. The campus is diverse and up to date. Campus security is available at all times. Being a commuter school, there are no dorms/housing, but the local area is good to live in.
    I am getting ready to graduate this year with an associates degree in biology and I could not have done it without the help of the amazing faculty and staff. They are there to help all students in furthering their education, they truly set students up for success. A big shout out to Triton College for helping me prepare for the next chapter in my life!
