“I really enjoy learning about how we work as human beings. Learning about how we think and behave fascinates me a lot,. Besides, the way that COD professors present class material is very interesting and easily understood for me. I’ve taken many psychology classes at COD, and almost all of the classes I took can be transferred to a four-year college or university as a part of their major requirements or electives. This will help me to get my B.A. degree faster.”

“I grew up in a small town in India, and we never spoke in English. When I entered College of DuPage, I was so worried about the language. But I liked the small classes, and I could see no visible barriers. It was a friendly environment, from office staff to faculty to other students. I’ve had very good instructors, and they could remember my name, and that really surprised me."

“COD offers a variety of classes at different hours and locations. I usually take classes at Main Campus and at the Naperville Center, closer to my house. More recently, I got the chance to work on campus, helping me to practice my English, socialize better and learn more about the American culture.”

Also, I started studying it in my home country where I took some photography classes. The possibility to learn deeply has become a passion for me.
