Kishwaukee college Reviews

Kishwaukee college has robbed me of money on three different occasions. They take advantage of the ignorance of first generation college attendees. They recently raised tuition and gave the president a $10,000 raise. I will be graduating after the fall semester. However, if I can pull it off I will be pulling my credits and transferring to a different university to complete my associates degree. Avoid this place at all costs, especially if you are paying out of pocket for your classes.

This place definitely is strict on Covid-19 protocol and clean. That's alwasy good to know considering the flow of people. I was here for CDL class and that was in the back lot right by the TOWER, you can't miss it.

We really liked the great amount of stuff to play I spy. Thank you very much for that you made our day.
We would give five stars but they didn t have burgers in the cafeteria and my friend really wanted one.

Worse college ever. They don't care about people. They just want the money...

Not a great school, I attended two years there and they are NOT helpful what so ever! I will not recommend anyone to go here if they don't have to. They do not care about the students, the counselor I had was so useless and when I tried to change counselors I was unable to. Overall the entire staff is just very rushy, irritated and uninterested in helping students.

I loved attending college here. The campus is beautiful and upgraded to look modern. The instructors are intelligent and the class sizes are small. I did my first 2 years of college here and finished at NIU. This college beats NIU with EVERYTHING. Dont waste your money or time getting your gen eds at NIU. Kishwuakee is a great place to get your first two years of college.

Went there years ago, but it still holds to it's same terrible level of it's own. If I didn't get my credits transferred when I did they would not have been considered transferable. Even when I went back to school and needed to send them in I had to fight with my graduating college to have them accept two of the classes I took from here and the person whom I spoke with said that they were fighting them because of the terrible reputation that Kishwaukee has and they didn't want to accept any of their credits and they don't anymore. The saving grace is that the credits were from 2008, if they were any younger I would not have qualified. The two were a basic Chem course and a Basic level math. I also took a test to qualify me out of a higher math so since I had that they figured I was competent enough in math for that math course to count.
This school also doesn't have any licensed guidance counselors so they can't offer you any real degree program assistance, but that is kinda the point, they want you to waist your money there.
DO NOT GO TO THIS SCHOOL!!!! Even if you think you might save money, you wont and other colleges WILL question the courses, even the state accredited ones which should be transferable to any college.
Also, any college can deny any course for any reason and they are the final say. After going through college, after attending community colleges, me and my husband can both say that the best call you can make is to start off in the college you are planning to graduate from. If you need to go to community college to raise your GPA before going to the college you want, DO NOT take any courses based on a major you are seeking, just take Gen Ed courses.
My husband's college turned down half of his courses for his major just because they wanted to, even though they should have been accepted, all in an effort to keep him there for longer. The truth of the matter is that he could have graduated with a slightly better major in 3.5 years if he had just simply started with his Four year school vs the five years it took to get a slightly less marketable degree because it would have taken another year.
Never forget, colleges care about making money too, they are just as shady as any other greedy corporation so treat them as such when you consider how long you want to go and where you want to go.

Sad school that teaches you how to fail . They do not care about anything but money and make that evidently clear only once you ve paid enough . Sad workers who don t act like they have a family at home, poor performance from instructors doing an actual job teaching, it s more so an environment where you buy to sit and read materials you can find for free in the library. Go to a school and get into debt if you want an education becuase this is a one stop shop for non graduation , drop outs and TROUBLED children at KEC.

Horrible community college run by a top heavy administration that makes poor finically decisions.

Like so many other community colleges the pay for adjuncts is incredibly bad. Your class may be taught by someone making very little to point where they might quit mid early or late semester for better work which is literally just about any other job.

I would never recommend this college to anyone unless your going into their nursing program which they seem to care about (emphasis on seem to care about).

Very low standards overall stay away.
