REVIEWS
Read What Students Are SayingSince the classes are small you are in a cozier environment and you have much more one on one time with the teacher. The curriculum is complex and yet easy to work with and you achieve a much higher educational experience then you think you would get.
Leslie from Waukegan, IL
I enjoyed my coursework and feel confident that it has prepared me for my transfer to a four-year university to earn a Bachelor's degree.
Brittany from Antioch, IL
Teachers show you a different approach from what you learn in high school, it's not the same basics. You learn a new way to look at your own work.
Jennifer from Park City, IL
The teachers actually enjoy teaching here.
Margaret from Hawthorn Woods, IL
Teacher's here are highly dedicated to individual and small-scale learning. The teachers are very passionate about their subjects and highly dedicated to student success.
Ryan from Mundelein, IL
Small class sizes make one on one time with instructors easy. One of the best community colleges you can attend in Illinois.
