I'm not your typical college student. I checked out the CRCP when I enrolled at Prairie State to return to college for fall 2005, and enrolled that December. Even with my military experience, the work is hard. But, if you're determined, I would suggest pursuing your education through the CRCP.

This is not a cakewalk. You have to understand that going in. But it's worth the challenge. The CRCP allows me to return to school without taking out loans; plus, I'm able to work a part-time job with benefits. I'm goal-oriented. If a degree is important, what better program can you be in? Work now. No loans later!

I believe that in order to succeed, one has to work hard.
