Will enjoy being here I will enjoy being here, because it is close to home. It also has small class sizes to make learning easier.
Bang for the buck This is a good option if you want to get a Bacholer's Degree, but can not afford to go all four years at a university.
Great for these types of students Great for students who want a cheaper option that is close to home.

Categories Rating Comments In three sentences Rend Lake College is a small intimate almost one on one experience in every class that I have had. Teachers are passionate and most every department is more than willing to get you where you need to go. Academic Advisors are VERY helpful in planning for your choice career.
Tips for prospective students Talk To a counselor as soon as possible.
Get your finincial aid in order before signing up for classes (get your fasfa filled out!)
Be realistic about what kind of goals you want to reach, and the amount of work you are willing to put into reaching them.Academic Rigor In my experience with Rend Lake's nursing program they expect ALOT out of their students. You will find no leniency is given. You work hard...you do well. They had a 98% board pass rate and the last two years it has been 100%
Dorm Life There are around 10 on-campus apartments available to students, although being a community college most live at home or on their own.
Food and Dining There is an on-campus Subway Restaurant and at times a local barbecue restaurant has a cart available, but if not they are less than one mile away as is a McDonald's
What to do for fun Rend Lake has many sports available to students. They provide a recreational center including a pool and a basketball court. The location is near the actual rend lake where boating, swimming, fishing, water sports and other recreations can be enjoyed nearby.
Bang for the buck Rend Lake is a VERY affordable college. I have know many of my friends who went off to expensive four year colleges only to have them return not even a year later to attend Rend Lake. The staff and programs available are an amazing deal for the education you get out of it.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus They have an RLC Fun fest every year which is like an on campus carnival. Also nearby they have the polar plunge where participants plunge into the icy lake in the middle of winter, raising money for the Special Olympics and programs alike.
Great for these types of students *Middle-class
*Unconventional
*Young Mothers
*High School Graduates
*EVERYONE!Clubs and Activities There are too many to name.
Just about anything you can think of.Campus Safety There is a campus office present almost everywhere you turn.

Categories Rating Comments Am learning a lot I really like this school because the classes are small, so the students are able to get the help in class that they need.
Am enjoying being here It is a small town school, with great teachers and staff. The people there plan great events for the students to get out and get to know one another.
Bang for the buck I feel like I am learning a lot while going here. I am going here for two years, then transferring to a four year university to save money. I feel like the classes are the same as the university classes, only smaller, and they cost less money.
