Another plus about ILIS is all professors have experience in the field that they are teaching, and are truly exceptional at passing their knowledge on. Also, the student environment is unlike any other. Computer labs, library, and student lounge, are great for doing homework and socializing. ILIS has Chicago nearby, and small town comfort.
