I love being a student at Waubonsee Community College! The professors are all very helpful and want to see you succeed. I absolutely love how great the professors and staff are at the school, I cannot stress this enough. I feel I get more out of my campus and academic experience than what I'm paying for! The campus itself is safe and has good security. However, Waubonsee is most definitely not a classical "party school." And while the college offers a variety of student activities and clubs, it doesn't necessarily have the same school spirit as a traditional 4 year school. But overall, Waubonsee is a good place to pursue your academic goals whether you're fresh out of high school or you've been out of school for a while.

I am currently a high school senior, but I take a dual credit class with Waubonsee Community College. I enjoy taking this class because I think it challenges me in all the right ways. I like to think of myself as hardworking and determined, therefore, Math 101 with Waubonsee has been a wonderful experience. I have visited the campus several times and it is clean and simple, which I love! I am currently considering attending Waubonsee next year in order to get my associate's degree before going off to a 4-year college. I recommend Math 101 to any junior because I know they will find it challenging yet an amazing fit for them just like I do.

Waubonsee Community College provides an easy and inexpensive outlet to gaining knowledge and working towards a college degree. Waubonsee gives students access to a multitude of classes of all sorts and types. With incredibly engaging professors and an understandable curriculum, Waubonsee makes learning easy and even fun!
