申请点评
- Campus Resources: For a community college I feel PSC has great resourses. There is always an activity going on. Tons of active clubs that are easy to get involved with as long as you have the time. The writting center is an incredibley helpful resourse. The ability to get the feedback from proffessors on essays and writting assignments has helped me not only to improve my personal writting ability the feedback gives me confidence that I can achieve the grades I need.
- Campus Resources: Network is okay most of the time. You don't need your own personal laptop but most computers are always being used by student's surfing the internet.
- Campus Resources: The campus has a pretty fair amount of resources that can be used if you look for them academic wise as the library and student success center have a lot of information available. The athletic centers are lacking though as the gym is small. there is occasionally events going on at the school though maybe once a week but it's usually small things.
- Campus Resources: For the most part Prairie State's computer network is really good and you can easily print in the library for a small fee. On the other hand the wireless internet is there, but it is fairly horrible as it constantly logs the user out so much so that you'd be better off using your own personal wireless network.
- Academic Experience: It is pretty good to have a psychology major at Prairie State College especially because most of the people that teach it have actually worked in the field and have stories to share about almost every topic. The work load is pretty easy most of the time but sometimes everything can pile up at once. their also isn't that many job opportunities given here.*(4)
