Hannah - 02/19/2020

Very good school. Cares deeply for their students. They offer many sports activities and a great nursing program. My second choice for a major is nursing. So if I switched my major I would definitely stay at Kishwaukee college to Perdue that career.

Devin - 06/03/2019

I think Kishwaukee college is a great college for people to attend if they are just looking to start out their education, or if they are trying to get a trade job. I'm tryito achieve my associates in science and eventually my nursing license. I will attend another college to obtain other degrees, but if you are looking for a more affordable education Kishwaukee is your best bet! The library and other staff want you to succeed and they are always willing to help. My only complaints about Kish is that there really isn't a lot of interesting things to do outside of class. they have boys/girls basketball teams volleyball and baseball and softball, but there really isn't that many groups or clubs to join. overall the school is clean, and professors are mostly fantastic. (I've had one or two bad ones) but most are great.

Danielle - 09/20/2018

Kishwaukee College is a great placed for someone who is not sure what they want to do with their lives or would like to stay close to home. My choice to go to Kishwaukee College was because I wanted to stay close to home while still getting an education. This college has many different career options for somebody which is great.

Victoria - 10/21/2017

Kishwaukee College has a great environment for people to talk to each other and professors. Their physical building is also being renovated a lot to improve the comfort of the students here. As far as the professors I've met and gotten a chance to talk to, all of them will email you back even on weekends and some will often schedule off campus meet-ups for review days. There's always something happening on campus grounds and we're always active in helping out around the community or even the nation whether it is in regards to a natural disaster somewhere else or a local fundraiser.

  2. What should every freshman at your school know before they start?

    Listen, I know it seems as if college is only for straight A students or people with money, but there are other ways to attend. I know mom doesn't know about it but talk to your councelor she will tell you of scholorships, grants and loans. If you don't; you will not go to college until you ar 29 with two little kids and a failing marriage. Then after having to quit school and the divorce your only hope of making decent money will be bartending. You won't try to go back to school again until you are 42 with two grown kids and another failing marriage. You will realize that out of all the things you have done in your life the one thing that you do regret is that you didn't finish college and even more so that you didn't go after high school. Please take it from me, you need to go onto college so that you don't have to work two jobs, go to school part time all while taking care of a home and family. Please save yourself and me from a life of barely making ends meet.

  8. Describe the students at your school.

    Somewhat diverse. Mostly black people, white people, and hispanic. When you go to the super full common areas (lunch room, student lounge) it's pretty loud and exciting, but for the most part students seem to keep to themselves, wearing their headphones all the time. That's one bummer, but in the more laid back classes it's easy to meet people.

  10. What are the academics like at your school?

    Academics are really easy here for the most part. But that's me, a high school graduate who's made high honor roll multiple times and has taken advanced classes. Especially the core classes, and every subject depends on the teacher. There are some tough teachers here, so rate my professor is a godsend.

    I have no idea, because I'm not actively involved in clubs other than the dying art club here.

  12. What is your overall opinion of this school?

    First going here, I wasn't all too excited. I wanted a real college experience, and was only planning on going to Kish for one year so I could transfer quickly to NIU for visual communications, wanting to get my career in graphic design and web design. I choose that uni because it's close by and relatively cheap. Well, one year turned into two, and now I'm about to do my 4th semester here, and staying for a 5th! Kish really helped me out, it's given me some time to really think about what I want to do (yes, still graphic design), but not only that, it's given me a chance to think over my school choice. After finding out that the graphic design program isn't really all that up to date (getting my information from a graphic designer btw) Kish has given me time. Also, I'm staying an extra semester to be able to study abroad cheaply! Academics wise, I would say that Kish is really easy stuff most of the time. There's a mixture of good and bad teachers, as always, but it's a nice little school with some good opportunities.

  14. What is the stereotype of students at your school? Is this stereotype accurate?

    I would say a lot of blue collar families, some confused kids who don't know where to go, and older adults getting back into the education scene.
