It is affordable and near by my house about 6 miles away. it is always clean and safe. The college has variety of clubs and organizations. student life can be busy if students choose it to be. we have a great big library. triton has plenty of support that help to students.

john - 10/16/2018

Many students and parents thing that the college is a bad college just because it's a community college, but that's not true. The school is a pretty good school. The class sizes are smaller and you can get help for math, science, or social studies. There is always there someone to help you and the school also offers scholarships of their own.

Calvin - 08/25/2018

The Lord Jesus really loves everyone at the college! Jesus paid the price for everyone there to be free from themselves and free to follow Christ! All the teachers, students, staff, and members at Triton can believe in Jesus and live just like He did.

Nestor - 06/11/2018

Triton College is very nice campus I pretty much love the surroundings around it and it has a very nice soccer field and thats what I love about it. The campus is a decent size for me because compare to a University is bigger for me and it would be hard for me to find my classes.

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

    I wish I had the courage to tell my mom I didn't want to go to culinary school. I told her when I was eleven I wanted to be a chef but by my sophmore year in high school my mind changed but I never told her I didn't want to cook any more. My first semester in college I went to Kendall College to please my mom and thinking I could just live with me being a chef, but when after my first semester I didn't like it and I told my mom I wanted to drop out and transfer to Triton College to sort out my life. I wish in high school I made my own choices and goals instead of living by eveyone else's standards and goals for me. I am applying to transfer to a four year college to major in Art Education and minor in Art History because that is what I really want to do with my life, even though I'll be in school for a few more years longer than I hoped for.
