College of DuPage
This University has so many wonderful things to offer, unfortunately I went there during the pandemic, so I didn't manage to have all the advantage offered. However, I am so grateful to be able to know and learned from very awesome individuals such as Lecturers and social host. the lecturers were very open for the communication and are willing to find the solutions when you deal with some difficulties.
COD standout film course
The film department is full of great staff who have plenty of experience in the field. Most professors actually care about their students and are able to encourage creativity and teach technical skills related to film. The staff is on par with four-year universities and I cannot recommend College of DuPage's film program enough!
