Nicholas's Review

Review of Kishwaukee College

from Oregon, IL

Do you feel you’re learning a lot?

All 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.

Do you enjoy the experience at your school?

I really do enjoy it here. The cafeteria is pretty good for a small college, the teachers, again, make your experience not as big of a pain, and you get to stay close to home and that's not as bad as most people make it out to be.

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

It's simple: Kish is a community college. There's no dorm to pay for and its inherently cheaper because it is a community college. Tuition itself can be paid for by a few scholarships and it saved me personally $27,000 a year ($50,000+ total!) to avoid a private university and in this case, you get more than what you pay for.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

I encourage you to take classes that interest you in addition to just those that fill your required slots. You might not have another opportunity to take classes you like at this kind of price. Doing this also gives you a chance to become more well rounded and might even strengthen your resolve to be in a certain field or even change it dramatically.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

Kish is great for students who want to stay close to home, actually learn something from people who actually want to teach, and want to save tremendous amounts of money. The campus itself is pretty enjoyable with lots of free activities and things in the main lobby most of the time.
