How My Comunity College Has Changed My Life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This topic fortunately found me in my state of worry.  This topic was perfect for me because of my early graduation situation.  This is a topic I feel like I could write way over the maximum of 500 words with just my experience and not finding any sources to squeeze in.  I feel that community colleges are a blessing and a great alternative for getting an education rather than a four year university.  I feel so grateful that I was able to start off my college experience by go to a community college like ICC rather than a BIG university.  I would definitely feel lost and isolated if I would have had to of gone to University of Illinois during the second semester of what should have been my senior year.  Instead I was able to come to ICC where I received the best of both worlds.  I get a head start of my college experience but am still living at home so it does not feel way different from what I was used to.  If I could go back in time I would most definitely choose going to ICC again.  I feel it is one of the best and smartest decisions that I have made in a real long time.  The teachers are friendly and helpful and it is not hard to socialize with fellow classmates.  From my experience so far I have really considered staying for a full two years because I believe it would be worth it.  However, I feel it is time to move on and start becoming more self independent by being away from home.  If I ever I have kids I would most definitely push this great community college experience on them, because I know first hand that it is worth it.

  1. I'm happy to hear this, Jake. Because of students like you, my job here is very rewarding. I think ICC is a pretty special place that gets looked over by students sometimes. I think you're going to be extra prepared for your career as an Illini.
