Illinois Valley Community College has been incredibly helpful throughout my year here so far. They have been accommodating and their Project Success program, along with my wonderful counselor, Diane, have been helpful in regards to me figuring out what I want to do with my future! Thanks to her, I was able to decide on what major and minor I’d prefer for university!

Throughout high school, I had my mind set on NOT going to Illinois Valley Community College . Yet, I found myself actually enjoying the institute after graduating. I liked the quiet environment, the passion that the professors had for their areas of study, and knowing that by attending IVCC, I was allowing myself more time to fully discover what I wanted to do with the rest of my life.

I personally love IVCC. It's a rural school that most kids who grow up in the area, it's here they go. And if they don't go there the first time, they usually end up back here.

Illinois Valley Community College is a great fit for someone looking to save some money and have a small-town feel. Personally, I only went here to be able to graduate with my associates degree and high school diploma at the same time. However, it is a nice school, and I like it so much better than high school.

Student

The resources IVCC offers are phenomenal and should be taken advantage of. Their programs save you thousands of dollars compared to going straight to a 4-year university.
