I actually transferred here from Marquette University in Milwaukee and have more homework here on average than when I was away at school. Mind you, Marquette is a top ten school in the Midwest and have high academic standards, but Moraine seems to have not only met them, but surpassed them in some respects.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
I really do enjoy being here, the cool thing about the classes is that they are so small, but they literally include every demographic you could possibly think of. In my business stats class I had middle aged men and women pursuing their master's, yet I also had a high school senior earning AP credit. There's variation in every class, you really never know who you are going to meet.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
I think that Moraine Valley offers a HUGE variety of classes, across every possible field. In state, if you plan on transferring it's an amazing deal. You can get two whole years, plus, out of the way for minimal cost. For me, the loan I took out for ONE SEMESTER at Marquette cost more than my year and half here at Moraine Valley. And I took a total of about 40 credits at Moraine over 3 semesters and only 15 at Marquette in one semester.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Moraine Valley is great for really any type of student. It's great for those who aren't sure what they want to do because they have endless classes here, so you can dabble into anything and get a feel for what you can see yourself doing. It's also great for people who are sure, but want to save some money - or even people who want to stay close to home. It transferable into certain graduate programs, so it's on option for people with a bachelors. It's also a good place for people who are returning to school after not attending for awhile - no matter how long it's been. During my orientation they asked why I was attending and there actually was a box that said My kids all went off to college, and now it's my turn! Clearly, they are equipped for anything that comes their way.
