Great for these types of students	College of DuPage is a great idea if you are looking to save some money while getting your gen-eds. COD is an accredited college and their credits transfer just about anywhere. They also offer lots of courses that apply to your specific major, so you can get started working towards your degree right away! Check out their website for more information.
Tips for prospective students	Be warned, admission, records, and financial aid offices are a MAD HOUSE here. Communication in the financial aid office is especially poor. You should maintain regular communication with these offices to ensure that your forms are being processed. If you don’t, you could end up like me. They lost my financial aid records, didn’t send my transfer transcripts, and never even set me up with a counselor. This is a great school to attend, but be proactive in keeping these offices on top of things with getting you all set up.
Bang for the buck	If you are looking to save some money by attending a community college to transfer credit to a four-year university, this is the one. College of DuPage prepares you for success better than you’d ever expect a junior college to do. They offer a huge variety of courses to ensure you transfer to your university with courses that matter. The school has everything from writing to robotics, cooking to calculus, animation to architecture, and so much more. As far as community colleges go, College of DuPage DEFINES “bang for your buck.”
Am enjoying being here	COD has just about everything you need for success in junior college. They have great facilities: plenty of computer labs (both PC and Mac), online databases, an extensive library, tutoring and academic assistance. There are lots of clubs and organizations you can get involved with too. Sadly they don’t have a film studies club (that’s my major), but there are plenty of extracurricular activities that will be both fun and look great on your resume. The commute is kind of a drag, and they don’t offer campus housing, but there are lots of apartment buildings and condominiums close by that house lots of students.
Am learning a lot	This college has surprisingly good academics. I wasn’t expecting much from a junior college, but COD really delivers. They offer a wide variety of courses and a high quality curriculum. The professors are competent and helpful. I have heard of some people having bad experiences, but for the most part I have had good luck with teachers in the year that I have been attending here.

Great for these types of students	Motivated people wishing to save money, confused people trying to figure out what to study, students who perhaps don't have a high school diploma who have their GED and want to get a college education, non-traditional students, adult students looking to go back to school...just about anyone looking for an education for a good price!
Tips for prospective students	Don't slack off. It's very easy to get caught up in not caring about education if it's not that expensive, but the costs will eventually add up. Don't expect a nice and friendly student body, because there are too many people to form a copious amount of friendships. Also, don't be afraid to try something new, as this would be the place to discover some things about what you enjoy in your education than in an expensive four-year school.
Bang for the buck	This is where COD really shines. Even with modest tuition hikes, the school is still affordable. I have gotten through the first two years of my BA with virtually no debt. This is one of the top accredited community colleges in the country, and the price makes it a great choice to figure out what you want to study and what you enjoy.
Am enjoying being here	I enjoy the fact that I am saving money. Due to the large student body, it's often hard to make new friends or feel a sense of student body cohesion. It's a commuter campus, so you don't have the opportunity of meeting people through living accommodations. They are currently renovating the campus, as well, so there is a lot of construction and noise during the day.
Am learning a lot	There are some really good teachers, but then there are those who really aren't the best. I've had classes in which I felt challenged, engaged, and really enjoyed it, but I've also been in one or two where the teacher teaches straight from the book, could really care less, and makes it very unenjoyable. But for the money, it's not bad.

Campus Safety	nice neighborhood
Great for these types of students	meteorology is a hidden study here at the school, but they have the best teacher ever. they also go storm chasing, chase tornadoes, 5 times a year for a week long. its a must do!

In three sentences	college of dupage is the best community college in the area. it has the best teachers and is affordable. the campus is so large it should be considered for a 4-year college.

Great for these types of students	College of DuPage is great for anyone young or old still seeking out what they are good at and putting that into a career.
Tips for prospective students	Tips I can give prospective is come into College of DuPage or any college with an open mind and willing to give your best every time you enter class for giving your best will show how passionate you are about the career you've chosen and also never be afraid to ask the teachers questions about what your being taught. They're their to help you learn and be prepared for the working world.
Bang for the buck	From my freshmen year coming into College of DuPage I've been steady learning about myself what I'm compatible of and what the school really provides which is a great experience of learning the field you've chosen to make a living out of. The money you pay for tuition is well worth it, because you walk away with such knowledge and it sticks with you throughout your journey.
Am enjoying being here	Being at College of DuPage everybody's friendly and you tend to meet people like you and who are passionate about their field of study just like you are.
Am learning a lot	Whatever your field of study is at College of Dupage you truly get your moneys worth. The teachers are always available and willing to help you if you don't understand. As a Fashion major I'm already learning the ups and down sides of the fashion industry just by what my teachers are teaching and them sharing their past fashion experiences.

Campus Safety	campus safety is awesome because they are always on duty. if you are staying late at night and would like an escort to your car they are more than happy to help you out. also, my favorite aspect about our campus safety is that they will text, call, and email you if there is ever a situation on campus including instances where weather interferes with classes.
Greek Life	there is no dorm greek life on campus, but there is a very prestigious academic group called phi theta kappa that ensures transfer scholarships.
Clubs and Activities	there seems to be an infinite number of clubs and activities that you can become involved with on campus. if you go to the student life center/ lounge, you can easily receive information on any club or create your own. there is everything from academic study groups, to computers and gaming, to anime, to medical, to religious, as well as special interests groups.
Great for these types of students	all types of students succeed at cod because of the great resources and professors that care about their students. we have students who are still in high school take classes here, traditional students, as well as adults who are choosing to continue their education. it is a very diverse and welcoming environment.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus	cod has really transformed over the years with its enormous growth and updating. interesting spots on campus include the brand new homeland security building as well as the brand new hospitality and culinary arts building where we have a state of the art chocolatier program, a working hotel, a bar, and a restaurant all run by students!! only a couple buildings over is a mock hospital in the new health and science building.
Bang for the buck	after two years of attending college of dupage full time, i have earned my associates degree for under $6500 (including summer courses). cod is great about financial aid as well as scholarships that are not necessarily need based. attending cod was the best decision i've ever made!!
What to do for fun	there is always something fun to do around campus, both academically or socially. the student lounge has flat screen tv's, computers stations, a cafe, and pool tables. other spots around campus are always hosting student fairs, transfer college booths, or live student performances.
Food and Dining	cod has more (and better) on campus food and dining options than even the largest universities in illinois. nearly every building has a food stop and has everything from subway, to panda express, to einstein's, as well as two cafeterias! also, cod literally just opened a brand new culinary arts building with a restaurant and bar.
Dorm Life	there are no dorms on campus but just recently cod's president, dr. brueder, has announced a plan for on campus living in the future.
Academic Rigor	if you think you don't have to take your classes seriously just because it is a community college, think again! the reason the cod has such a great reputation is because of the high standard it puts on actually earning your grade. the good thing is, about 95% of your classes are transferable so you don't have to repeat them elsewhere.
Tips for prospective students	prospective students should arrive on campus at least a half an hour earlier than their first class during the first few weeks of a new semester. parking is notoriously crowded (because this school is awesome) but you can avoid the hassle by purchasing a $75/semester parking pass that allows you to park in the best spots.
In three sentences	college of dupage has been the most amazing experience and has opened so many more doors for me than i ever thought possible from a community college. the tuition is affordable and 100% of the classes are taught by knowledgeable professors with small class sizes. don't underestimate the power of this institute; not only does it ensure that about 95% of your classes are transferable, it is a great place to be!

Campus Safety	The College of DuPage offers great campus safety that makes everyone feel much more comfortable and secure in their college environment. On top of having well lit streets, side walks, and buildings the college still manages to have plenty of street posts with emergency buttons and furthermore to provide the campus streets with more than enough College of DuPage Police.
Clubs and Activities	With the various ethnic, intellectual, and talent filled backgrounds of the students at COD, the clubs and activities offered are nearly endless.
Great for these types of students	One of the greatest parts about the College of DuPage is that it really is for students of all types. I can almost guarantee that there is not a single student that feels out of place, being that we have students of all ages coming from all different parts of the world. The only thing that most students have in common is their practicality in choosing a school that is saving them money, while giving them the educational perks that they will need in order to do well.
Bang for the buck	Overall the College of DuPage is nothing short of a financial dream. You get an award winning education while not having to put too big of a hole in your wallet. When all is said and done you really get so much more than what you are paying for.
What to do for fun	College of DuPage isn't exactly your Dave and Busters, but there is plenty to do during off time. With the state of the art facilities that the college offers there are always clubs, teams, and other extra curricular activities to join. On top of this you can always make use of its beautiful fitness facilities and resourceful library.
Food and Dining	The College of DuPage offers not only good food but also quite the variety. You can have anything from a nice healthy meal, to a quick muffin and a cup of Starbucks coffee.
Academic Rigor	It is very clear to me over the last few semesters that the College of DuPage really takes its time when hiring candidates for employment based on the challenging professors that i have had the pleasure of interacting with.
Tips for prospective students	When attending the College of DuPage it is important to inherit the personality trait of self-motivation. It is easy to be distracted, being that many would describe community college as your typical second half of high school, but when looking upon your situation from a long term perspective it is quite actually an amazing educational path to success. In other words, don't get caught up looking back at the people that you are racing, instead look forward and work hard in order to achieve your future goals.
In three sentences	College of DuPage is a unique school in the sense that it offers students of all backgrounds the opportunity to save money, while receiving a top notch education that they can take with them for the rest of their lives. Just when you thought that the option of going to the College of DuPage couldn't get any better, you realize the endless choices of programs and educational paths that this institution has to offer. I would rate the College of DuPage exceptionally because it is a school of opportunity.

Great for these types of students	Freshman....seniors out of high school.
Tips for prospective students	Get all your Gen Eds. done here and make sure YOU takes class that will transfer over to your university.
Bang for the buck	It is a community college there are students of all ages, but this is not a university.
Am enjoying being here	There are a lot of clubs and organization to get involved in, but they are not well advertised.
Am learning a lot	College of DuPage is a great school to start your college years. You have to make the effort to do well in your class because you will not have professors holding you hand. Some of the material you need to learn on your own, but there are a lot of places on campus that you can go to if you need help.

Campus Safety	the campus is very safe. It is in a really great area and the school police patrol it very often.
Greek Life	Im not greek so i cant say.
Clubs and Activities	there is any sport or activity that you can think of in this school.
Great for these types of students	The school is great fr all types of students and all types do attend there.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus	there really isnt any unusual traditions or locations in the school.
Bang for the buck	For me the school was the best bang for the buck because i qualified for the dependent program. My mom cleans at the school so i get to attend for free. Also the school has a impressive major program and alot of agreement with 4 year colleges for transfers
What to do for fun	For fun there are all sorts of game rooms with pool tables and tvs. you can also go to the computer rooms and spend some time on the computers. I personally loved just sitting outside on nice days because of the landscaping was beautiful.
Food and Dining	The food at the school has really improved drastically. When i first attended it in 2008 it was alright but every since they have renovated the quality has risen drastically.
Dorm Life	I did not dorm but i commuted daily
Academic Rigor	Some classes are brutal in education while others are made easy. Alot depends on the class and the teacher.
Tips for prospective students	A councelor knows alot about which classes to take and all but there is nothing like talking to a teacher that heads a certain major to help steer you in the right direction class and school wise.
In three sentences	College of Dupage has changed alot and has become a very beautiful school to attend. It has added alot of new building to help each major get a better education experience. The school has expanded alot and allows personal rooms of education so diffrent classes are not using same rooms.

Food and Dining	The food at College of DuPage is incredible. There is a Subway, Starbucks, and a Panda Express. It has the dining experience of a four year university.
Dorm Life	It's a community college so I don't think there is much of a dorm life.
Academic Rigor	Has the academic rigor of a four year university. College of DuPage pushes its student so they will be ready once they transfer to a four year institution.
Tips for prospective students	If you plan on attending a community college than College of DuPage is your choice. It has many classes to choose from and the the advisors and counselors will set you on the right path to success.

Bang for the buck	i feel that some of the science teachers could have went into more detail on some subjects instead of trying to make it easier for students that aren't planning on majoring in that field. otherwise, it's very affordable.
What to do for fun	i commuted to the school from a town 30 minutes away, so i'm not sure what there is to do nearby.
Food and Dining	i never ate on campus so i can't rate their food as good or bad.
Dorm Life	cod doesn't have on-campus housing.
Academic Rigor	rigor depends on the class as well as the instructor. i took mostly science classes so the subject matter was tough and required a lot of studying. however, some of my instructors focused more on general concepts to make the class easier.
Tips for prospective students	just because cod is a two-year college doesn't mean that you should slack off. hard work now can improve your chances of getting into top four-year colleges, winning scholarships, and increases your chances of getting your desired job!
In three sentences	cod is a great college with enthusiastic professors that allows a person to obtain an education at an affordable price!

What to do for fun	there are several sports and clubs to chose from. anything for people who are beginners, to people have long term experience.
Food and Dining	i've never actually eaten on campus. there is a starbucks, and cafe.
Dorm Life	there are no dorms.
Academic Rigor	many of the teachers have worked in the field and teach from experience. the saying those that can't do teach definitely does not apply. while you are expected to keep yourself up on your classes, teaches are very helpful.
Tips for prospective students	if you are pursuing a degree take the time to talk to an advisor. they may or may not be in the field you are looking to pursue, but they can help answer questions and lead you to the right professors to talk to. also get a map to navigate around the different buildings.
In three sentences	college of dupage is a great two year college and offers a 3 to 1 program with other universities. there are several options for classes to choose from in a variety of subjects. its spacious and is accommodating to the vast amount of students attending classes, hanging out, or participating in extracurriculars.

Campus Safety	police center is very good about protecting the students. often time security is patrolling the hallways and they are very quick to respond.
Greek Life	they have a phi theta, but i think thats all.
Clubs and Activities	meditations clubs, travel clubs, language clubs, intellectual clubs, art clubs... you name it i'm sure they've got it.
Great for these types of students	people who do not really know what they want to do with their futures yet. this is a good place to figure out what you want and not waste your money. also, a great place to knock out general education for a great price.
Bang for the buck	tuition is usually about 3000 per year which is very affordable! practically all of the credits transfer to other universities and the class size is usually pretty small.
What to do for fun	they often times have shows in the art center and some of them are free. the library is a very good one, offering any periodical or book you could think of. also, a cool place to hang out.
Food and Dining	the cafe has delicious food and a great variety.
Dorm Life	most people live off of campus.
Academic Rigor	this really depends on what you intend to study.
Tips for prospective students	parking is usually really bad so get there early. also, try to talk to 2 different counselors when seeking advice.
In three sentences	college of dupage feels like home to me. there are many paths to choose and at a really great price. i do not regret going there.

Campus Safety	This school is well-staffed at all times.
Great for these types of students	College of DuPage is great for busy students who still live at home.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus	There are some really comfy couches to relax and hangout in between classes. When the weather is great, there is nice lawn area to enjoy the sun.
Bang for the buck	College of DuPage is great community college to knock out your general education requirements, and save money at the same time.
What to do for fun	There is clubs, activities, seminars for anyone and everyone.
Food and Dining	There is a Panda Express on campus and numerous spots to purchase coffee.
Academic Rigor	The school stresses citing sources. There are consequences for plagerism. I also appreciate the non smoking rules.
Tips for prospective students	Register early so you can get classes that fit your lifestyle. Also leave for class extra early, finding a parking spot can be difficult sometimes.

Great for these types of students	students with jobs who are hard workers and dedicated to studying. Students who are returning to school after being away from studying for a while will be able to adjust well here.
Bang for the buck	compared to four year universities, the tuition is very low and you get a good education for the price
Food and Dining	lots of places around campus at good prices
Dorm Life	No dorms. but the student atmosphere is nice.
Academic Rigor	general education classes can be pretty easy. I wouldn't say that every class is an 'easy A' but depending on the teacher, you can really boost your GPA with some of these. The math department can be pretty though. The classes can require a lot of time, and it is difficult to find a professor who teaches really well, there are some out there that are good though.
Tips for prospective students	It is really easy to not take it seriously. Community colleges get a bad reputation in a lot of the towns in the area, so if you work hard and focus on your classes, you really will learn a lot. Some of the teachers aren't the best, while others know their fields really well, and really care about their students. Find places to study on campus that allow you to get the most out of your precious time, and that will help you succeed.
In three sentences	Great Community College with a lot to offer students looking to save money before going to a four year university. Wide range of flexible class times accommodates for busy schedules. New facilities with up to date computers and resources allows students to study in comfortable surroundings.

Campus Safety	The campus security have help me so much from helping me find things I've lost to jumping my car's dead battery!
Clubs and Activities	I haven't joined any clubs but I hear great things about them. A list of clubs offered can be found here: http://www.cod.edu/dept/stud_act/clubs.htm
Great for these types of students	Students who want to save money on quality education!
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus	Ok, I won't lie, there are some weirdos here however they are all the harmless nerdy type not the I'll stalk you and follow you to your car type. One of the cool locations that I don't think many students are aware of is the prairie path.
Bang for the buck	The classes are well worth the money! For instance I am taking a 4 credit hour summer course there that will cost me about $550 however that same class at a local university would cost me about $2100!
What to do for fun	There are plenty of clubs and activities the school offers. Along with that it is close to many shops and towns that you could spend hours walking around. In the lounge there are plenty of activities for students to do. There is also a prairie that you can walk around on on campus if you are more of the outdoorsy type.

Tips for prospective students	Don't shrug it off as just a community college.

Campus Safety	There are multiple campus security guards patrolling at all time. They checked the different buildings throughout the day and night, and I've never felt uncomfortable or unsafe on campus.
Bang for the buck	The money was the number one reason I decided on COD! Pricing is a fraction of what it is at other colleges, and if you work in DuPage county, you can pay in district price, even if you live out of district.
What to do for fun	It's a community college campus, so there isn't anything on campus. But I love going to downtown Naperville to go out and obviously there is downtown Chicago just about 20 minutes away.
Food and Dining	There are multiple places on campus to eat. Starbucks, Einstein's Bagel's etc. All are good.
Academic Rigor	College of DuPage is not a difficult school as long as you do your work. Get a good professor (ratemyprofessor.com will change your life) and you will be fine!
Tips for prospective students	The best tip is do not come to College of DuPage if you are not ready to do well. It is obviously not a four year university, so you will be mainly be focused on your studies. Accept the fact that your friends moved away to go to college and do well, and maybe in a year or two you can join them!
In three sentences	College of DuPage is an excellent college with great resources at an affordable price. I feel that I am being greatly prepared for transferring for my bachelor's degree. College does not have to be overly expensive to be life changing.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus	I enjoy the silent zone in the library. On the second floor there is an area which no cell phones are allowed and loud music is not allowed. I am able to get homework done without any distractions, there are actually alot of people that fall asleep up there!
Bang for the buck	Well, if you live in-district COD, it is totally worth it! Going out of district can get very pricey but nevertheless it is worth the investment.
What to do for fun	The school has a ton of activities going on any given day. Their clubs are always promoting something and there are a lot of mini fairs within the halls at COD.
Food and Dining	Their food court is expensive! But what do you expect? COD has remodeled the food court and it is very nice, they have a Subway and Panda Express there along with other tasty treats.
Dorm Life	I do not live in a dorm at COD.
Academic Rigor	It is sometimes hard to get around with all of the construction, it is also noisy at times.

Campus Safety	I always see Police officers and cop cars around the school. They send out e-mails alerting the students about potential danger. I have never felt unsafe at College of DuPage.
Greek Life	I don' know what this means.
Clubs and Activities	I've never been to involved with clubs and activities since I have a busy work and school schedule. I have noticed that students affiliated with religious clubs will push you to read the bible with them. Sometimes it gets to be a nuisance.
Great for these types of students	If students don't like to smoke then they should be happy about the no smoking on campus ban which goes into affect August 2012. There are a range of sports activities such as football and basketball for students to be apart of as well.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus	There are no unusual traditions. College of DuPage is a pretty normal school for the most part. It's in to class and out to work for most of the students.
Bang for the buck	In all honesty C.O.D. really is the biggest bang for your buck. Flexible class schedule, decent tuition compared to other schools, and their physical improvements make it a great place to be. If there is something to improve upon, that would be adding more parking spaces. Driving around in circles for an hour can be frustrating!
What to do for fun	Sometimes there is live music in the school/ poetry readings. There is a lot of space in the school for groups of friends to hang out. Socializing and talking about classes is typically the fun that students seek. The fun thing to do I've noticed is to have your head phones on, cruise your laptop, and sip on some coffee.
Food and Dining	The cafeteria is pretty awesome since the school added Panda Express and Subway. Did I forget to mention there is a Starbucks? Very nice to get away from the library to get some coffee or tasty food.
Dorm Life	There are no dorms here. This is a community College. I heard rumurs there might be doorm at some point.
Academic Rigor	It depends on what the student makes of it. Personally I don't find it too easy nor do I find it too hard. If its' math, then were talking difficult.
Tips for prospective students	Make sure you sign up for classes you know you can get to on time. Working part time and making up your schedule for school can be tough. Find enough balance in the week to allow time for home work and projects.
In three sentences	College of DuPage has excellent teachers. I have also found the improvements at the school help with enhancing the learning environment. Lastly College of DuPage has affordable tuition for students.

Bang for the buck	COD is extremely affordable. If you are looking for a school that won't brake the bank, COD is the way to go.
What to do for fun	I don't spend as much time at COD after class as I should, however I know they constantly have shows and events available to the public
Food and Dining	The food at COD is stellar, not so much what they offer but how abundantly they place important restaurants. A starbucks in the middle of the financial aid office and the counslers office ensures no one will be deprived. An einstien bagel near the classrooms to ensure we can recharge.
Dorm Life	I don't live on campus so I am unaware of the dorm life situation.
Academic Rigor	College of Dupage is extremely interested in ensuring you as the student learn what is being taught. Some schools are more about grades then about enrichment. COD wants you to walk away with knowledge and a grade to move forward with.
Tips for prospective students	My tips for students would be to schedule an appointment with a counsler. They are very personable and very interested in ensuring you make the correct class selections. I also would suggest taking a tour around the school, as it is extremely large.
In three sentences	College of Dupage has everything a college could offer. With its welcoming campus, to it's passionate teachers, you feel like you are making the right choice everytime you step through their doors.

What to do for fun	Seeing as I have a one-year-old daughter I do not get to hang around campus or get involved in clubs, but there's definitely a lot activities to choose from. Flyers are posted almost daily on the bulletin boards, for events and clubs, so that would be a good place to start looking.
Food and Dining	The food and dining is pretty good, but there's not a ton to choose from, and the prices are kind of high (the cafeteria has a Subway and a Panda Express, and there's a Starbucks in the Student Resource Center). Also, you may have trouble finding a place to sit in the cafeteria depending on the time of day/how busy it is.
Dorm Life	There are no dorms on COD's campus (although I've read in the student newspaper that adding dorms is being discussed). The campus is beautiful! A lot of the buildings have been renovated (within the past 2 or 3 years), several new buildings have been added, and the library and MAC building (center for the arts) are being redone right now. I've even taken a course in a smart classroom (tons of huge, brand-new Mac computers). Overall, COD has a very modern, cutting edge feel to it (far more than ISU did).
Academic Rigor	Academic rigor varies between class level and the professor. The workload isn't necessarily light, but the material is fairly easy to grasp (I have a 4.0). If you do need more of a challenge, however, COD does have an honors program.
Tips for prospective students	See a counselor to help you register for classes and get you set up with blackboard and myaccess (you can also register for classes online, without assistance once you have the system figured out). Fill out a FAFSA as soon as you can to see if you qualify for grants and loans. Also, skip the bookstore and rent your textbooks (or buy cheap ones) online. You'll save hundreds.
In three sentences	Enrolling at College of DuPage was one of the best decisions I have made in regard to my education. I save thousands of dollars every semester for the same educational experience I would get at a large university (I attended ISU for a semester, as a comparison). Also, the classes are pretty small, so not only do you get more conversation going, but you get to know your classmates and the professors better, and vice versa.

Campus Safety	The campus is pretty safe. There are campus cops, but they mainly walk around and don't bother students. There are homeless people that stay downstairs in the SRC, but they keep to themselves and never talk to students. They sit in the corner just to get warmth and students don't bother them either; we feel sorry for them and want to respect their privacy.
Greek Life	There is no Greek Life since it's a commuter school, but if you make friends you can always party with them off-campus!
Clubs and Activities	Phi Theta Kappa is the honor society for two-year schools and if a student meets the requirements, it's a good idea to join. There is a membership fee, but most four-year schools will give you scholarships for being a PTK member. You just have to fill out the application and pay the fee; meetings are optional!
Great for these types of students	College of DuPage is great for all kinds of students. Some people are just there to fool around and aren't serious about college yet, which works since it's so cheap. Other people are serious about their studies and plan on transferring, while some are still figuring out what they want to do. It's a great transitional school.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus	There are vents right outside the main entrance to the SRC building that are great to stand over in winter. They release a lot of heat and were a popular spot when smoking was still allowed on campus.
Bang for the buck	Classes are cheap compared to other schools, especially for the quality of the education given. College of DuPage is a great bargain.
What to do for fun	Again, it's up to the students to find fun activities. Several times a semester clubs will have booths advertising what they're about and information can always be found on the website. If you want to get involved, you definitely can, but there is no pressure to do so.
Food and Dining	The cafeteria is large, nicely furnished and has plenty of options for students. There is a Subway, a Panda Express and other appealing options for student's to choose from. Even if you're vegetarian, you can usually find bagels, fruit cups or other meatless options.
Dorm Life	It's a commuter school, so there are no official dorms. There are some off campus apartments for students who want to live close by, you just have to look. The school is close to many suburbs, so it's easy for students to live at home and either take the bus or drive to school.
Academic Rigor	The academics are what you make of it. There are very easy classes and very challenging ones; it all depends on which ones you choose to take and which professor you have. Definitely visit ratemyprofessor.com or ask fellow students and your counselors for advice!
Tips for prospective students	Check the website or ask professors to learn about the difference services COD offers. Ask them if there's free tutoring available or visit the library to get a free library card and advice from the staff. The counselors will help you choose classes, decide on a major, or help with any personal issues as well.
In three sentences	College of DuPage is a large commuter school that has many great learning opportunities. There are great teachers, flexible class times and free tutoring for Math, Accounting and other subjects. It's up to students to find out about these opportunities though and take advantage of them.

Clubs and Activities	So much stuff to do! There is a club for everything! Everyone is so nice and it's so worth it to get involved!
Great for these types of students	Someone who wants to further their education, wants to try out a field of study, needs to save some money, and just wants to get a great education.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus	The student lounge is a fun place to go and I always heard music coming from it, mainly live music. Go check it out!
Bang for the buck	It's not as expensive as a University, but you get the same educational benefits!
What to do for fun	There are a bunch of clubs and organizations to get involved in. Read the flyers around the school, there is always something to do!
Food and Dining	Starbucks and Panda Express, come on! It's great!
Academic Rigor	Great academically!
Tips for prospective students	Listen to the professors, ask for help, and have your books the first day of class! Don't slack off!
In three sentences	COD is great. I have met some great people there and the professors are always more than willing to help. The benefits of the school is the cost and the availability for the classes. I highly recommend COD!

Great for these types of students	-Anyone who wants to go to college but is short on money -Students transferring from a foreign country -Students who are unsure about their major -Adults who want to go back to school and complete a degree -Disabled students of all types
Bang for the buck	The College of DuPage in Glen Ellyn, IL, is one of the top colleges in the county. It has a beautiful campus with lots of outdoor and indoor space for studying or just hanging out. It is constantly being refurnished and refurbished so it always looked spectacular. All general education courses are offered and they transfer very easily to nearly any other college. Aside from general education, it is a great place to earn a degree in nearly any field of your choosing because it offers hundreds and hundreds of varieties of classes. Tuition is on average a about $4000 a year; way lower than any 4-year university and there are always scholarships and financial aid to help along the way. The admissions office is always willing to sit down and talk with students and parents and it is super easy to set up an appointment.

PARKING will be very busy during the first week of school for each semester so be sure to get to school early to find a spot! If you're worried about this it is a good idea to buy a Permit Parking ticket so you can find a spot up front and close to the school- which is especially nice in the winter.

Campus Safety	Patrols driving up and down the parking lots as well as security guards roaming the halls.
Greek Life	Virtually is none.
Clubs and Activities	There are more clubs than I can name. From service clubs to Quentin Tarantino fan clubs.
Great for these types of students	Those who are not quite sure what they want to do with their life or are interested in sticking around at home.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus	Every Wednesday there's free popcorn.
Bang for the buck	For what you're paying, you get an outstanding education and it's like going to high school all over again. This is a must for any students that aren't sure if college at a university is right for them.
What to do for fun	Join a club or socialize at the nearest gathering hall.
Food and Dining	A small food court you would find at a mall but a little pricey.
Dorm Life	There really is none, it's a community college.
Academic Rigor	Certain classes are treated like they would be at a university while others are much more forgiving if you show up a few minutes late. This is a pleasant transition for those looking to transfer.
Tips for prospective students	Try to get an associates in something that interests you but don't let that stop you from taking a plethora of classes.
In three sentences	While College of DuPage has a lot to offer and only falls short in a few aspects. One being the parking lots are always full, but that's due to all the students attending, the second being that there are a number of students simply attending because they have nothing better to do. While there are a few short comings, this school is a a great place for students who are not sure where they want to quite yet.

Campus Safety	There are many policemen on campus, and there are public safety emergency buttons all over campus.
Clubs and Activities	There are plenty of clubs and activities to get involved in, such as sports, foreign clubs and art clubs.
Bang for the buck	This is the most inexpensive college around for the level and amount of classes they offer.
Food and Dining	The cafeteria is great! There are many choices available including but not limited to: Starbucks, Subway and Panda Express.
Dorm Life	There are no dorms for this community college.
Academic Rigor	The higher level classes are challenging but not unattainable.
Tips for prospective students	Make sure you visit Ratemyprofessor.com before you pick your professors. I wish I would have done that with a few of my teachers. It's good to know what you're getting into!
In three sentences	College of DuPage provides a comparable education to many Universities. The professors are generally open to helping their students; moreover, the class sizes are small which leaves more personal attention for each individual student. The price of attending COD makes it one of the top choices for many prospective students.

Campus Safety	great, cod police everywhere. it is and feels super safe.
Bang for the buck	YES! great choice to save some cash.
Food and Dining	I actually never ate at cod.
Dorm Life	no dorms.
Tips for prospective students	1. parking can be annoying sometimes, especially at the start of a semester. 2. keep up with your classes/work, the classes are fairly simple. just go to class and do your work and you'll pass with an A easily. 3. take as many classes as you can, if you are going to be there for only a year or two, get certain classes out of the way. its cheap and you'll be happy when you transfer and do not have to take your gen eds.
In three sentences	its a great way to save money. It is also a great way to get those gen ed out of the way for a reasonable price. it feels like high school still.

Campus Safety	The usual petty theft and parking lot mayhem.
Clubs and Activities	They exist, they seem to have members...but for so many this is a way station, not a 4 year experience so not as vigorous as at a university.
Great for these types of students	Self-motivated and want to save money.
Bang for the buck	This school is totally what you choose to make of it.
What to do for fun	Go home and hang out with your family. Currently undergoing a multi-year remodeling/building project the college is PACKED and even the library study areas seem to be social centers.
Food and Dining	Mediocre. Sodexo, they moved the student culinary food sales to the far edge of campus making it a long walk for most of us. The slowest starbucks in the world is in the middle of the campus.
Dorm Life	none
Academic Rigor	Very dependent on which teachers you take. I have had several fabulous instructors who were quite hard but worth it. On the other hand you can skate through with easy A's, get your associates and end up without the knowledge you need to continue on and get your degree.
Tips for prospective students	Pay close attention to who you take for a teacher, easy is not the same as good. If you actually have to know math or Anatomy for your career goals and will need it to finish your degree be very careful who your teacher is. It is common knowledge among the students that people learn very different amounts of information in different sections of the same class.
In three sentences	A good option to save money while pursuing general education requirements. You have to be careful to research teachers well as the percentage of adjuncts is very high and the quality can be spotty. Make sure you don't become one of the aimless, eternal students taking out large student loans and never reaching any goals.

Campus Safety	The area is very safe and the campus police are really nice, they just get bored sometimes and issue annoying tickets. They're not very expensive, just a nuisance sometimes.
Greek Life	Great scholarship fraternities; I don't mean the drinking kind.
Clubs and Activities	The school offers many of these and students are empowered to create anything the college doesn't already offer.
Great for these types of students	Anyone humble enough to learn.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus	There aren't very many, but there is a beautiful amphitheater and some awesome natural areas.
Bang for the buck	There are some amazing scholarships, not to mention the fact that an average full time student will really only pay about $10,000 in total tuition.
What to do for fun	Join on-campus organizations. There is always fun events and cool talks happening and you will really enjoy your time here if you take advantage of it.
Food and Dining	The cafeteria is alright, but the Waterleaf restaurant on campus is amazing.
Dorm Life	The state of Illinois does not allow community colleges to have dormitories. The apartments nearby are competitively priced and very good quality, however.
Academic Rigor	It's as hard as you make it and no easier.
Tips for prospective students	Do not let the community college stigma get you down; work hard and make friends. Get involved in organizations and make yourself comfortable with the faculty; all of these things will both improve your experience as a student greatly and bolster your resume when it comes time to transfer.
In three sentences	The College of DuPage is excellent for a student of literally any academic caliber. As a community college, it really does serve students by providing an outstanding general education at a great price. You will be challenged well here and rewarded well for your effort.

Food and Dining	I love the food and the choices given there. And, if I want something new, I can just take a 5 minute drive down the street to find other restaurants to eat at like Chipotle, Chick-fil-A, and others.
Dorm Life	There aren't any dorms, but they do have an inn for anyone looking for hospitality.
Academic Rigor	Teachers there definitely expect a lot out of their students, but they take you step by step and give you all the time you need. So, unless you've slacked off, the work isn't too hard. The professors aren't as hard as expected, but I've definitely learned from them.
Tips for prospective students	Always be on top of your game. Register as early as possible, and don't forget to search your professors on ratemyprofessor . com. Time management is still necessary here!
In three sentences	College of Dupage is a great community college to go to. They definitely care for each individual student, and prepare you to transfer if need be. All the professors I've had so far are great and experiential.

Clubs and Activities	AWESOME! Over sixty established clubs and organizations on campus and there are new ones starting all of the time!
Bang for the buck	Two years here and then you transfer to a four-year university, if you take it seriously it can be a wonderful experience!
What to do for fun	Joining clubs or organizations is the way to go! The Living Leadership Program is really great to participate in, and the student government, the Student Leadership Council, is really fun too!
Food and Dining	The culinary center has the Waterleaf, and it is EXCEPTIONAL. It's pretty expensive but if you can afford it, it's definitely worth a try. Cafeteria food isn't awful, we have a Subway, a Panda Express, a salad bar, and a burger hut.
Academic Rigor	Classes can be hard, but nothing is impossible. There is a tutoring center on campus that is free and can help with just about any class if you're having trouble!
Tips for prospective students	Definitely join a club or organization on campus, as a school with only commuter students, it can sometimes be difficult to make friends. Joining one of the sixty clubs/orgs on campus provides students with the opportunity to build long last relationships with others and improve themselves too!
In three sentences	College of DuPage is what you make of it. Becoming involved and working hard will make your time at C.O.D. very rewarding! The price per credit hour is also phenomenal!

Dorm Life	I would not know about dorm life because I do not live in a dorm.
Academic Rigor	The classes are not too difficult because certain classes have prerequisites in order to make sure that the class isn't too much for you. An example is if you get a certain score on your placement tests then that score will allow you to take certain courses.
Tips for prospective students	My tips for students coming to the College of DuPage are to be prepared with all the books you need for your courses on the first day, to know where your classes are before the day of, and make sure you can get there on time. This will help to keep you less stressed and make things easier in general.
