REVIEWS
Read What Students Are Sayingkaskaskia college is based in centralia, il, but is also quite spread out in the surrounding area. it's a great school to attend for cosmetology, nursing, automotive, or for quickly (and cheaply) getting your generals out of the way for other degrees. it's very low-cost, budget friendly, and offers a very wide variety of classes in with a small town feel.
