I was trying to retrieve transcripts from the school. The registrar office is unprofessional and inaccurate on 99% of their information. If you do not know the answer to a question, the proper thing to do is to find out..that would be what you are getting paid for, not misleading someone.

Love ALMOST everything about this school. My only complaint is the finance office staff. Not all of them, but there are a few who are disrespectful and do not understand there job. One attempted to DENY me of my financial aid because I couldn't prove that I financially provided for my daughter in 2015 WHEN SHE WAS NOT BORN UNTIL JANUARY 2017, and she knew that, but still insisted I needed this proof. She then suggested I get food stamps. When I asked where a DHS office was, she proceeded to brag about how she never needed food stamps, how would she know and talked down upon people who do. I dont shop at ALDI but I could easily tell you where one is located so that was unnecessary. Ridiculous. I called FAFSA and they said she was wrong. I filed a complaint with FAFSA and spoke with the president of the schools assistant Needless to say, she did not get away and I got my aid. Besides all that, everything is great there. The financial aid office manager was very helpful, and so was the second women I worked with there.

Professor Janvier Jones,
I am emailing on behalf of a complaint in regards to Professor Sigfrido Reyes. On February 21, 2017 around 10:00 a.m. Pensacola (cst), I attempted phone contact with him. Though he had answered the phone, he then asked me to hold for a moment which I agreed to do as I was grateful for his time. However, when he put the phone down, I heard him say to whoever was in his office at that time. I heard these exact words, “It is no one on the phone, but an online student.” Then he continued talking to an unidentified person in his office. Unfortunately, I hung up because I was on a prepaid phone; however, I called back about five minutes later to talk with him in order to discuss a class assignment. Once he picked up the phone, we began to speak about the classroom assignment. During the conversation, he emphasized that I needed the textbook for his course. As I was explaining myself to him, he became rude as he reiterated that I needed to purchase the textbook. He also stated, “If you do not purchase the book, then you need to withdraw from the class,” so rudely. Though I tried to tell him that I could not afford the book, he responded, “That’s not his problem.” He also reiterated that I could use a textbook from my local library. He also told me that it was not his responsibility to tell me this information and he continued to speak rudely toward me. He even stated, “I have a personal life.” I expressed that I understood his point, but I tried to convey to him that he should care about his student, especially in regards to their academic performance. I then asked him to stop yelling at me and then he used profanity before he had hung up the phone on me. Though I attempted to contact him three times, he refused to answer my phone calls. As I was greatly concerned about such mistreatment, which was quite unprovoked, I contacted the college and spoke with different office managers according to college policies in order to resolve my concerns.
Best regards,

I started my first year at the old Kennedy King back in 2007 when I was 24. I lived within walking distance from the school. I met some great people from different cultures and did well academically. I had honors English and got the inspiration to start writing and journaling Once the school closed I began to pursue a family and had my daughter in 2008. I took online classes from another City College while I nursed my daughter for the first year of her life. I then moved to Arizona after I received a offer from a Fortune 500 company. I met a beautiful woman that inspired me to start my own business and do something that I truly loved. I realized that I needed to finish what I started at KKC and moved back to Chicago in 2012. It was slightly challenging for me to adjust my Mental Perspective and get back into the campus life. The staff always helped me whenever I asked them questions. I would go to the career room after class and look for Jobs and the staff was always Motivating me and uplifting me. With a focused mind and creating positive patterns, prayer and faith I graduated in 2014 with my AAS in Liberal Arts and recieved a Marketing Management Certification also. In 2013 I took a poetry class and a 2 Speech classes and I created my first website and started writing a poetry book. I never thought I would be able to do anything of those things before I started at Kennedy King. I published my poetry book with Outskirts Prees in March of 2016 and I'm now working on my Signature Cardigan line in light of the upliftment of Cancer, Lupus, and African unification. I plan to open my first boutique this year in the same community that inspired me to be Great!!! I thank God for KKC and the entire Staff they are all a big part of my success journey. I pray for the Abundant Health, Wealth, Success, and Prosperity for everyone student and staff member past, present, and future. ❤🙏🏾

The staff is unproffessional and when I called to get my transcript they either never answered the phone or put me on hold for a long time until somebody had hung up. This college is a joke.

Very relaxed environment, and classroom sizes aren't as big as other campuses, which gives you opportunities to get to know your classmates, and more time with the professor. Great campus! Compared to the other City Colleges of Chicago, i have not encountered many rude staff members. For the most of it, all staff members that I've encountered are laid back, and down to earth. Kennedy King College isn't a bad school, but the area may be sketchy in the evening hours, but i haven't encountered anything crazy as of yet. I think many students avoid taking classes here, due to the campus being in Englewood, but there ain't nothing to worry about, as long as you aren't up to no good off campus you will have a great time at KKC. Kennedy King College sits right outside of CTA Halsted, and has a Divvy bike share, if that's your thing! There is also a huge parking lot, if you wish to drive to campus. Many make it a headache registering, but once you get in a routine it's very simple, and painless.

Not sure what they had in mind when designing the campus grounds, but this place is the most difficult campus to maneuver. There is fencing which prohibits your ability to get to the building unless going around. Which takes you a block or more out of your way. Doors and gates that should allow you access are locked. Once you park you car in the lot, good luck finding and walking path out of that lot that's completely fenced in from the sidewalks. Other than that, I'm sure the education you receive is stellar!
