    Am learning a lot

    i have learn a lot from this college. I have learn how to a be successful college student. Not only that, but I've learn something I have never had a chance to learn in high school an that's studying.
    Am enjoying being here

    I enjoy being at this college. I feel safe and secure but i feel like some of the outside peers need to be a little more maturity.
    Bang for the buck

    yes i feel like this school is great, especially for students like me, who are trying to persuade there career or need a second chance out in the academic life like i did.
    Tips for prospective students

    The most important tips is to be on time, do as your professor ask of you and if you are not sure ask the professor. Even if you need more time, most profesors have office hours. Some professors are even nice enough to take time away from there busy schedule just to help you out. Otherwise, if there office hours time doesn't fit your schedule, hey they even have a tutoring center that opens from 8am to 8pm from Mondays to Thursdays and Friday and Saturday have varies of times.
    Great for these types of students

    The most important fact i've learned about this college is complete all of your homework and assignments, and be on task. Study for exams and do not wait for the last moment to want to complete your homework or study for an exam. Take it from me i know and I've learn from my mistakes.

    The teachers are great, they explain in detail the topic being discussed in that matter. Work is given so that the topic being worked on is understood before taking a test.

    Because it is no way like high school. When you present in front of the class the class is more quiet and the attention is on you so you can present away. Students take the work more seriously and the material being taught is taken seriously. And if you have any free time in between this is the many things you can do here: And the good thing about being here also is if you have computer work they have computer labs so you can do your work. And if you want a quiet place to do your work you can go to the student lounge. And if you are hungry go down to the cafeteria and get something to eat.
    Bang for the buck

    Your money is well spent on your classes. If you want to learn it does cost a price. You will learn what you payed for you classes and your books. So your money is well spent on everything.
    Tips for prospective students

    1. be on time.
    2. do all your work.
    3. turn your work in on time.
    Great for these types of students

    Great types for students would be: to always write down your assignments down so you won't forget, bring all materials to class, always take notes,do all your work, turn in all your work on time, don't procrastinate, study, read, and don't be tardy or late for class, be on time.

    I enjoy the teachers that I have. However, I'm disappointed that South Suburban is not taking any more applicants for their nursing programs for a few years. I feel like I've wasted my time here.
    Tips for prospective students

    Don't talk to the guidance counselors, they don't know much and they are always giving out wrong information. See the program faculty advisors for what you need.
    Food and Dining

    Very little healthy food. Expensive.
    Bang for the buck

    No loans and my grants covered my tuition and books

    read all of the information that is available on line for the college. enroll and purchase your books early, take great notes, exchange phone numbers with other class mates in case you need clarification on a subject and interact with the instructor.
    Academic Rigor

    you set your own pace so be careful to not overload yourself on too many difficult classes at once.
