Kinze - 04/29/2019

It is a great way to start your college career and get a feel of what it feels like and a good way to save money instead of going to a 4 year. I loved the class sizes and the way professors worked together to make sure the students got the best that they could.

Kadin - 02/24/2019

My overall opinion of Carl Sandburg College is that it is a great college. I feel that the school and staff truely care for the students and want them to succeed in the classroom and in life. For example, we have a free tutoring center for students to come in and receive help with their work. Also we have several organizations on campus that promote us to help the community; some of our community service includes fundraisers and traveling to the grade schools to talk to them. As a school, we have held events to decrease pollution, educated the youth about college, and raised money to help the needy.
