Everyone I have spoken to has been very helpful. Specifically, my advisor, Wesley, Walker was very helpful when I decided to change my career path and choose my classes for the Spring. He explained all my options and helped guide me deciding what classes I want to choose. Everything has overall been a positive experience.

As an older student returning to school, I expected the journey to be challenging, but it has turned out to be both rewarding and encouraging. The instructors at Kankakee Community College are excellent—always ready to help, supportive, and invested in student success. The students are just as impressive: eager to learn, willing to help each other, and open to collaboration. KCC has created an environment where learning feels possible at any stage of life, and I am grateful to be a part of it.

I met with my advisor to discuss changing my Associate of Arts focus from Sociology to Psychology. He took the time to carefully update my program and map out the courses I still need to complete. He was incredibly kind, understanding, and thorough throughout the process. I also shared that I need to retake my math placement to bypass remedial courses, and he was so encouraging about it—his positive reinforcement really helped ease my math anxiety. He even scheduled my math class for the spring, showing real confidence in my ability to place into it. I left the meeting feeling supported and motivated.
