How do you like Oakton Community College or Northwestern Business College?
I am trying to decide on two schools, Oakton Community College and Northwestern Business College. I prefer to go to Oakton but it doesn’t have Paralegal Studies, and its also cheaper. On the other hand, NWBC does and I can apply the AA that I’ll earn to a BS Program. Its very expensive. I know school starts soon but, I just want to know if its worth all that money? Community College or Private school?

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?
