I finished my associates in business here and I am very thankful I had this school so close to home. I worked full time and went to school part time. It was a long process but ultimately I was successful in completing this degree. I have since transferred to WIU to complete my bachelors in finance.

None.

There is no communication between departments. One office will tell you one thing, then the next office will tell you a different thing, and a third will tell you something completely different. This school is known for cheating students out of their college credits. I'm very dissatisfied with how much time and money I've wasted here.

Sauk doesn't have that college atmosphere, even if it's s small community college. I have been here for a few years and noticed many absolutely brilliant professors have left, or in some cases demoted. They treat the arts staff horribly, art classes need a makeover, college needs to retain their brightest teachers, not chase them away.

I like the fact that Sauk is cheap. That's about it. Some of the professors are awesome but for the most part, a lot of them don't know what they're doing. There's not much to do social wise, they do try and get students involved in some activities but they're usually not great. It basically feels like you're still in high school.
Overall 1.9
Basically like an oversized high school. The cliques are the exact same. It's the kind of school that nobody CHOOSES to go to, it's just convenient or necessary before you move on to go somewhere else. Very few clubs or social events worth going to. Teachers are a grab bag; some are great, some are awful, and there's mixed opinions. Parking blows.

Sauk is suffering from a budget issue so I have some sympathy. However, there is absolutely nothing on campus now that all of the classes have migrated to online. The place is virtually empty every single day. There are a few clubs but there is nothing really for online students. Whenver I go on campus- I wish that I didn't.
