If you're thinking about going to a community college before transferring over to a university, MVCC is your school. I finished 2 years there and i miss it. Everyone is so friendly and the teachers are awesome. Classes are fun and you eventually make yourself at home since the atmosphere is great. One thing i do recommend is to have an idea of what you want to study. 2 years passed by, i finished my gen eds and i still don't know what i want to do. Figure out what you like and pick classes towards that. If you don't know what you like, take a few electives to get an understanding. That's one thing i wish i did. Even if the classes eventually don't transfer over after you made a decision, it was well worth taking them to figure out your major.

I have just completed the HIM Associates degree as an adult student. Moraine Valley has an excellent reputation in the healthcare field and most hospitals in the SW Chicagoland area prefer to hire MVCC grads. The director and assistant director of the HIM program are fantastic and dedicated to the profession. They foster student development, are active in the HIM profession, foster career advancement, and have a lot of integrity. The classes are focused and provide real value toward career advancement. As an adult student, I felt valued and respected. Some students have a difficult time remaining in the program due to scheduling conflicts. Classes are held during the day and evening hours, but the director tries to accommodate students if possible. If there is a request to hold a certain class at a certain time, she will do it if enough students request it and if she can find faculty to cover it. Clinical rotations are assigned in local facilities and students can request assignments. Many clinical rotations lead to jobs upon graduation. Moraine really prepares students for the national exam, and the results consistently rank much higher than national averages. Most years, 100% of HIM graduates pass the national exam.
