Joliet Junior College

Overall, Joliet Junior College provides a comfortable environment to take classes in. There are plenty of places to hang out and get work done and the facilities are pretty nice for a junior college. All of my professors were very good and the classrooms got the job done reasonably well. Overall a solid A.

Wonderful school. It is right off the expressway, majority of students live off campus and commute to school, faculty and staff are easy to talk to, tuition and class costs are fair, and an excellent choice to save money for an associates degree before transferring. Joliet Junior College offers a plethora of career paths and degree programs. There are plenty of clubs, organizations, and events to partake in such as transfer college and job fairs, club recruiting days, student appreciation days, volunteer activities, holiday events, leadership seminars, and so much more. There are also amazing people in Office of Student Activities who will help you get involved on campus and off campus.

I think JJC is a great community college that gives great opportunities for students who are looking to transfer after 2 years of studying at JJC. Some students do come through to either finish degrees or to gain experience. I believe that after my 2 years at JJC I will be prepared​ to continue on to a university to finish my degree.

I was an older student who went back to complete my Associates Degree many years later. I did not get involved in all the student activities but there were plenty available. The campus is clean and safe, I never felt afraid. All the professors I had contact with were great and always available for help or questions. There were plenty of ways to have fun on campus and also to be involved in clubs or sports or study groups.

Joliet Junior College is a great place to grow and develop as a student to really develop your skills as an adult post high school. The faculty here are very friendly and helpful and seriously want to see you succeed and will help you in any way possible.

Joliet Junior College is the first choice for people in the area. The faculty are exceptional and I've built lasting relationships with multiple professors. Beside the academic challenge it brings, the Honors program gives students an opportunity to go outside the school and broaden their intellectual horizons through various class driven field trip excursions. I was extremely impressed with the art scene present at JJC. The massive gallery was always full of artwork from visiting artists, high school art shows, and even our own student show. Our theater program prepared and hosted stunning plays and performances through the year. However, it is an accurate statement to say that the amount of time and effort students invest into their own academic journey here at JJC will directly influence the quality of their educational experience.

It's alright. The homework load is a bear, but I can get through it. The teachers are generally helpful, although there have been several teachers who were either unhelpful or just bad at their jobs. It's a junior college, so I don't have to worry about housing or a meal plan, and the classes are fairly affordable.

Joliet Junior College is a great community college to go into right out of high school, or even if your starting to go back to school. The school offers many different areas to get your degree in and prepares you immensely for transferring to a different university. Joliet Junior College provides great education at a reasonable price. From all the clubs and activities to participate in, you can always find a friend when your at Joliet Junior College. I wouldn't wish my first years at college anywhere else, this community college has prepared me to move on to further my education and has made me an even better student than I could've imagined.

Joliet Junior College is a great school. The staff is extremely helpful and continually strives to push students to do better. I waited a couple years after high school to embark on my educational journey, and found myself overwhelmed with the options available to me in regards to schools. However, there were multiple teachers, students, and counselors who walked me through the process and simplified it for me. I am so glad I enrolled at this college.

Joliet Junior college may be a community college, but if you're someone who can't afford to go to a four year university, this college is a great start. Tuition is cheaper compared to most other universities, and is a big save in money to get your gen eds out of the way. Just because people mostly go here for their general education, that doesn't you can't get involved. There are just as many activities and clubs to join here than any other college.
