Review of Joliet Junior College

from Joliet, IL

Do you feel you’re learning a lot?

This is a GREAT place to get started if you are planning to go on to a four year college or university. It's a wonderful learning environment! Also, JJC has well respected Associate of Applied Science programs that allow you to streamline into a career (Nursing, Vet Tech, Phlebotomy, etc...)!! That's what I'm doing.

Do you enjoy the experience at your school?

This is my second time attending JJC, and it's a fantastic place to be. There are plenty of organizations that you can become part of: student government and student activities, psychology club, peer mentoring, and performing arts just to name a few...

Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?

JJC is a **TOTAL** value! The level of education you receive for the money you pay is unbelievable... If you tried to start out your first two years at university, you would pay most likely three to four times than you pay at JJC.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Find out what you would like to do education-wise and make a comparison checklist between your four year choices and JJC. Find out what classes you would need to take and how much they would cost. Most students don't realize that college costs a lot more than just tuition...you have to factor in housing, food, entertainment, transportation, etc. If you were able to stay at home for your first two years and attend JJC -- the saving in everything would speak for itself.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

Unsure what you want to do. Looking to keep expenses down. Know what you want to do, but not where you want to go. Close enough to home, work, and friends for those in Will and Grundy counties. And lots more...
