The Skokie campus is very quiet and the best place for studying. If you like loud places you should go to the Des Plains Campus.

I was at this school previously. Returned to complete my associates even though I am doing by BS in Health Management at SIU. Love it. If it was a four year school, I would not move. Still intend on doing more classes to try and enroll into nursing school again. It has great professors, facilities and support services to help students succeed.

I dont like this school/ campus at all. I personally believe its a trap and they try to keep you there as long as possibly. Very few good teachers, lack of resources. If you dont go out and ask for help youre not leaving and i mean that. If you talk to any advisor they always suggest staying an extra year if youre looking to transfer. A TRAP!!

2 campuses,, probably will have to travel to both for classes. Students do not seem to talk to each other and lack of social life. The school in skokie is about the size of a high school or smaller

This campus is better for the older student. It's very quiet, and there are virually no opportunities for socializing. If you are thinking about going here, make sure you have transportation. The bus only runs every hour, and not at all in the evening. I have never seen the cafeteria open, so pack a lunch. On a brighter note, classes are small
