Rosa Said:

What class should i take over the summer at a community college?

We Answered:

Get rid of something else introductory - psychology, sociology, something like that. Look at what the University of Illinois will want you to take your freshman year that you won't have to continue. If its something (like a foreign language) that you'll need more than one semester of it may be better to wait for next year so that you get the right preparation for the higher level classes. However, talk to the university that you'll be attending first and make sure that the credits will transfer so that you don't waste your time.

Right now Im finishing my gen eds at Oakton Community College ? r the steps I need 2 take 2 become physiatrist?

We Answered:

Do you mean "psychiatrist"? A psychiatrist is a medical doctor. So, you need to complete a 4-year degree, preferably in a science. Biology, biochemistry, physiology, chemistry, organic chemistry, and microbiology are common choices. Some schools have a specific pre-med program; some do not. You will need to earn excellent grades.

You will then need to complete medical school, an internship, and a psychiatric residency.

Ordinarily I ignore grammar and spelling on YA questions, but you will have to improve your communications skills quite a bit if you hope to gain admission to a decent college.

How is Oakton community college (OCC).....?

We Answered:

Oakton Community College is a two-year community college with campuses in Skokie, Illinois and Des Plaines, Illinois. District 535 serves 450,000 residents in northeast Cook County, Illinois. The communities include residents in the communities of Evanston, Glencoe, Glenview, Golf, Kenilworth, Lincolnwood, Morton Grove, Niles, Northbrook, Northfield, Park Ridge, Skokie, Wilmette, Winnetka, and parts of Des Plaines*, Mount Prospect* and Rosemont*. Residents of Des Plaines, Mount Prospect, and Rosemont need to contact that office of admission for exact in-district addresses. The college offers both credit and non-credit classes. Oakton Community College is accredited by The Higher Learning Commission and the North Central Association.

Oakton Community College opened in 1969 in former industrial buildings at Oakton and Nagle in Morton Grove, Illinois, which was closed when the Skokie and Des Plaines campuses opened. The Skokie campus opened in 1980 at the site of the former Niles East High School, an example of art deco architecture that was used in the film Sixteen Candles. The Des Plaines campus also opened in 1980. Classes are held at both campuses.

Oakton's main campus in Des Plaines is located on 147 acres (0.59 km2) of woodlands and prairie, bordered on the west by the Des Plaines River. The College,a modern, red-brick building with 435,000 square feet (40,400 m2), houses 65 classrooms and 46 educational laboratories, as well as student services, administrative and faculty offices. Special facilities include 19 computer classrooms; a Performing Arts Center; the Business Institute; the Koehnline Visual Arts Center; a Child Care Center; and a teleconferencing center, gym, fitness center, library and bookstore.

The Ray Hartstein Campus adjoins a residential area in Skokie. The state-of-the-art building was dedicated in 1995 and is set on a spacious lawn with mature trees as well as new plantings. The building provides almost 165,000 square feet (15,300 m2) of space for 31 classrooms, 12 laboratories and other educational and administrative offices. Special facilities include a teleconferencing and distance learning center; a Child Care Center; and offices for student activities, the Emeritus Program, Alliance for Lifelong Learning (ALL) and English as a Second Language (ESL)/Literacy.

Dr. Margaret B. Lee is the President of Oakton Community College. Dr. Lee states in the April 22, 2007, New York Times article For Achievers, a New Destination, "You don't prepare someone in this time of rapid change for a single job. You prepare them for a working life. The old academic skills are the new vocational skills.

Claudia Said:

How do you like Oakton Community College or Northwestern Business College?

We Answered:

In general, I usually advise students to chose community college over vocational/trade schools like NBC, because they are cheaper and offer many of the same programs. That said, if you really want to become a paralegal, you should attend an ABA approved paralegal program. Of the two schools you list, if paralegal is your goal, I'd have you pick NBC.

However, several community colleges in Illinois offer ABA approved paralegal programs. And a cc is far, far cheaper than NBC is. I'll give you a complete list of all the ABA approved paralegal programs in your state. Maybe one of those at another community college would work for you?
