Reviews
- Harrison M Giese·
Everybody on staff is so helpful and friendly! I have spent two semesters at KCC and have not doubted my attendance for one second. So many resources are available to students and advisors that are able to help the needs of any student. At KCC I feel that I am wanted to succeed and can follow a course degree path at my own pace and with limited frustration.

Amazing.

I met a lot of friendly and devoted people today at Kankakee Community College. Katelin helped me with my class schedules and clinicals. She explained each step so I am fully aware of what to expect. Which I am grateful for in lieu of being out of school for 42 years. 😁

Fantastic teachers who go above and beyond to show they care. Very nice classrooms and machines to work with.

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.
