MICHELLE - 07/01/2023

I love that Waubonsee has a transfer program into Illinois State University. I made the Dean's List twice. Finished with a 3.50 GPA and received my AA degree in May 2023. Because of the transfer program, I am able to complete my BSN in two years. Additionally, Waubonsee handled the pandemic very well with lots of online classes. The few times I had to go in person, it was mostly for the lab. I always felt safe with the protocols they set in place.

Alexis - 06/27/2023

Overall it was a good experience. I had good professors; in terms of them being knowledgeable, helpful, kind, etc. There were also clubs and events that students were able to get involved with which made the college experience more enjoyable. The school was also very cost friendly, and I'm glad I started out here rather than going straight into a 4-year university.

Cindy - 04/21/2021

Waubonsee Community college is a really good school to help you start getting adjusted to college courses. The professors are there to help you succeed. When needing more clarification or help with assignments they will take the time to explain and help you with the material one on one. Waubonsee Community College helped me grow as a student and achieve more academically than I ever thought I could.

Antonia - 03/21/2021

As an adult student, first generation American, Waubonsee teachers and staff made me feel very welcome, comfortable about my doubts and questions (many, many questions). I went in with a career path in mind, but with need of much guidance as to how to go about my education in order to achieve said career. The teachers and/or tutoring center are of great help when I would start falling behind. The school definitely has made me feel as if they really do care about making my dreams a reality.

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

    If I could go back in time and talk to myself as a high school senior, I would remind myself that it was a great decision to work hard and graduate early, even though it took alot of my time. I would have told myself to take more classes at Waubonsee than I did my first semester because I know now that it was not difficult and I could have challenged myself and been able to get my associates degree earlier. I also would have told myself to apply for more scholarships during high school, because I know now how expensive books are for all of my classes.

  6. What do you consider the worst thing about your school? Why?

    I do not feel that I can consider anything bad about school. Like in any place there are some ups and downs; when speaking in terms of socializing or talking to other people, I think that sometimes people can be cruel to other people because they're different. But I don't feel that it has anything to do with school. Also when students already form their frienship groups sometimes it can be an obstacle to meet other people because we become so close minded.
