Parents and Students; Please DO NOT EVEN CONSIDER THIS COMPLEX. IT IS DANGEROUS. There are apartments near the Joliet JC. Consider moving in with another student. Anywhere but here. The school receives a kick back for students who pay to live here. There is NO affiliation with the school. However, and this is important. IF you drink alcohol in your room or IF you smoke pot in your room, and you are caught, then all of a sudden, THERE IS AN AFFILIATION with the school. You will be expelled. You will continue to pay rent on your lease. IF you live across the street, and IF you drink alcohol in your room, it does not matter. But somehow, if you live in the Commons....NOT affiliated with the school, you will be expelled.
I'm not telling you that it's just fine to drink, be loud, smoke weed, etc. However, there's nothing else to do out in the middle of nowhere. If this is what you want out of life. Enjoy. I know it's easier to live here than to drive a long distance, but consider ANY alternative. Heed my warning. This is a scam. The company that owns these buildings owns others across the country on other campuses. The school gets paid for every student that they suck in to these properties.
