REVIEWS
Read What Students Are SayingAll the classes I'm taking are doing a great job at giving me critical information. The teachers here are extremely smart. I would strongly recommend Mrs. Anderson for anything she teaches in chemistry and Dr. Thomas for any of his philosophy/ethics courses. I have had an amazing time with both of these instructors for almost an entire year now and plan on taking more of what they have to offer.
Nicholas from Oregon, IL
I feel that I am learning a lot at Kishwaukee College because the class sizes are small and the teachers get to know the students individually.

Mia
small classes and friendly teachers contribute a lot to the positive atmosphere of the college. the variety offered varies quite a bit, with some courses like nursing and engineering being quite popular, while others like logic fall by the wayside. all in all it's a pretty good college for its size.
Aaron from Waterman, IL
I love this college! All the classes are easy to find and registration is a breeze! Not only that but all the teachers are professional and very helpful.
