“I was working full-time, I maintained a 3.8 GPA. This was only possible due to the support of my family and the professionals at COD. I am very appreciative of the support given because it helped me as I fulfilled my goals." - Violet Jackson
“Working full time while raising a family and going to school has been the most challenging process of my life, but it is very much worth it! Don't let the boundaries of everyday life fool you.” - John Tolle
“I was so nervous about going back to school. Although I was the oldest student in the class, I wound up feeling like I fit in. If you are nervous, try one class, because you will be hooked.” - Jean Morris
“My studies at College of DuPage laid a tremendous foundation. The class sizes were small, so I got to know my professors pretty well. After spending time in the military, they were very helpful in easing the transition as far as getting back into the routine of going to school regularly.” - Reggie Martin
“As a mom with two small children, a full-time job and as a military wife with a deployed spouse—flexibility was a necessity! In my time at COD, I took night classes, early morning classes, online classes, hybrid classes, Adult Fast Track classes and traditional 16-week classes.” - Samantha Wirth
