Kaitlyn - 11/20/2024

Wright is a very safe and organized environment. The professor's are pretty flexible and provide great feedback, of course you may run into some stricter professor's but if you go on Rate my Professor, you'll find your professor's ratings so you know ahead of time if the class and the professor is a good fit for you. The campus food is pretty good, a little pricey but it's definitely something you can work with sometimes. The sports teams at wright are very entertaining along with a warm welcoming. We do have open gym which is a good chance for you to meet some new friends.

Rehan - 02/07/2023

Wilbur Wright College is a great place to start your education and it does not keep you at a disadvantage after finishing associate's degree. There are many groups and advisors who help make your transfer process very easy and show you many scholarships available to apply for.

Stephanie - 06/17/2019

I enjoy the school, it is a good junior college. The professors are excellent.

Sydney - 04/18/2019

Unfortunately, it has a political view of if you don’t agree with Chicago, you do not belong.. There are classes for an array of students and they are always full. Tuition is great and it encourages you to go full time. Some professors are very one sided in opinion and do not encourage opposition.

  9. Here's your chance: Say anything about your college!

    The school I am currently attending is a community college. I never imagined that going somewhere other than a well-known university or ivy league school would bring me any satisfaction. However, Wright College has a small amount of students per class room which results in more personalized instruction from the professors. It also has a comfortable atmosphere and the campus is lovely. I was denied financial aid so I chose to go somewhere I could afford and not have too travel too far from home. Wright College has become my home away from home.

  11. What's the most frustrating thing about your school?

    The aspect of community college that has caused me the most mental turnmoil has been the perception that most people hold towards community colleges. As a hispanic student with a 4.1 GPA and a 28 ACT score, most people expected me to attend a prestigious four-year university yet financial problems did not allow me to. Yet when I mention to people that I attend Wright College, they think that I am a less capable student than I truly am. This con be troublesome for me as at time I have doubted myself.
