The biggest bang for your buck.
A nice bridge between high school and college.
Great professors who make the experience worthwhile.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Just because PSC is a community college doesn't mean you should slack off. THIS IS NOT HIGH SCHOOL. The difference is that you're paying for it, so if you want to leave early, ditch classes, sleep/text in class, then forget about it.
Take it seriously as these are the first two years that will make an impression if you were to transfer or get certified.
Take Honors courses.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
Teachers give helpful syllabuses and schedules of when everything is due. Thoughtful lectures and discussions take place. Expected to have projects, assignments, and homework completed on time.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
The Pioneer Cafe is a bit pricey, however, there is a McDonalds, Mexican restaurant, and Nino's Pizza on Halsted near the school.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
Hang out at the Atrium, go on the computers in the lab, walk outside.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
You save big bucks by going here first. A lot of classmates I run into came back from big schools like U of I and NIU because they couldn't afford it. No duh. So before you follow your friends to the same college just to be together, be smart and save yourself any unnecessary loan debt.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Driven, focused students who are decided on their career choice.
If you would like to transfer, then be sure to enroll for their IAI program, which is structured so that all your credits are transferable.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
Art/Anime Club
Speech Team
Math Club
Student Government
Phi Beta Kappa (Academic, not the Sorority)
Psi Beta Kappa (Psychology academic Honors)
There's probably a whole lot of other clubs that I'm missing, but these are just a few.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
Security can be seen walking around at the main campus. Sometimes, they're patrolling in their cars. There are emergency boxes throughout the parking lots.
