Joliet Junior College

i really enjoy the school, the teachers really care about their job and they really want every single one of their students to succeed and be the best student/person they can be. I always feel safe on campus. the food is good and there are plenty of art and theater opportunities and a number of clubd to join so every student can be involved.

Joliet Junior College is a very inexpensive way to get your general education credits out of the way. It is very convenient for people that are not financially set for a four year university. The school overall is very clean and safe with uniformed officers always visible from inside on the third floor to the center of the parking lot. The classes sizes are very excellent. If you liked a high school class size of between 20-30 than this school is right for you. Every school seems like its the best fit for you but colleges come with a few down falls. The few down falls to Joliet Junior College is the food is expensive. It is very tasty but it will cost you four bucks for a cheese burger. I can go to McDonald's and get four chicken sandwiches for that price. Second, the teachers that are well set for a subject can teach it very well and thoroughly and others make you become your own teacher. Sometimes it seems like they just find random people and give them a teaching job. The last down fall is the drive, driving back and forth everyday from home is very time consuming and a lot of mileage on your car. I wish there was on-campus living but its a community college so people don't expect much and if you are looking for sporting events this is not the school. JJC has sports but are not very popular or fun to watch. Other than that, this school is good for getting general education credits out of the way or that one class you need to redo in order to move on.

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.
