It's stocked with books, magazines, and newspapers on virtually any subject. Best of all, they are completely free, which is all too often forgot. Internet access is also available for free in timed increments. An important note: They do carry some text books, so check here first before paying an absurd amount for a book that you'll only use for a few weeks and save some cash at the same time. Maybe then you can get that pizza instead of Ramen Noodles again.

Unfortunately for me that was the best part of the experience. We happened to arrive on memorial day weekend when they were having a special ceremony. Despite looking at their website it was unclear that their hours were different. They didn't open at 10am but at noon when their special program began. We killed 40 mins thinking that at noon we could get into the building but no we had to wait through the fortunately short ceremony (which was hard to hear due to a poor PA setup). It was free on this day so not sure the regular price but thank goodness because this place was not what we expected. It wasn't really war memorabilia but some exhibits telling stories of some soldiers. Don't get me wrong the exhibit about the chaplain and his collection of glass from damaged European churches during WWII was well done but that was most of what was on display. We spent maybe 30 minutes or so here. I do support the founder Jennifer Pritzker in her stance that she isn't going to let any government officials dictate the stories being told. A benefit of this being a privately funded museum. Nonetheless very underwhelming.

Good small museum that isn't too full of stuff but enough to be interesting for a bit. It for sure…read moreisn't as popular as the bigger museums but it's worth checking out if you get a chance. The Pritzker Military Museum is a collection of artifacts from various soldiers and wars. Has artifacts such as medals. You can also use the library if you're a military personnel. Because the museum is pretty small, it won't take most people long to see everything here. It has a pretty simple layout. This is located on the second floor of a building at Michigan and Monroe. It's a $10 admission without any discounts. There's discounts for active military, students, and others. It's a small museum so also think if it as a donation. There's lots of photographs but also artifacts such as medals and uniforms. A few exhibits on POWs including one about the Hanoi Hilton. There's lots to read up on if you're interested in this kind of stuff. Check it out if you're interested in military history. It also has a library if you do research. There's also various events, programs, and other things.

Spent one semester here (Spring 2015) and I enjoyed my first and last semester here. I'm a transfer…read morestudent from College of Lake County and the process of transferring was easy, thanks to Bill Weir. It was unfortunate that the maximum transfer credit was 68. My credits per class in CLC was 3 but if it was converted to Carthage, it was 4. My professors were AMAZING. I love how the classes have a small professor to student ratio which was small. You get to know them in a personal level and it's great networking. I personally love places where I know people by their name because it's more personal. You're not another number. If you're an incoming freshman or transfer student, you're required to do Western Heritage. I highly suggest taking Marla Polley as your professor because she makes it engaging. She's also a lovely professor who cares for her students. As soon as you step in her classroom she gives off a positive vibe. If you're a communication major, which I was when I switched from criminal justice, you should definitely take Colleen Kappeler. I learned a TON from her and I can guarantee you that you'll enjoy her classes as much as I did when I had her. The administration is all right. During my semester here we were required to do a survey of the Title IX which was an online training and educational program for sexual misconduct. If you don't do it they threaten you with a fine. Security here was also something to be aware of. They're either satisfactory or not. Make sure to park at the right places. I know that being a new student, it was hard for me to remember where I could or could not park. The campus was nice. I love how there's a Starbucks in this campus. It's very convenient if you have an 8am class (which I DO NOT SUGGEST). They have also built a new science building and it's pulchritudinous. The view of the lake was something unique and won't find in most college campuses. The library was well-maintained and you could wirelessly print if you have your own laptop. This campus also has a chapel so if you're religious, they have inter-faith sessions. Carthage has a career center where they could assist you with your resume, cover letter, and interviews. You also get e-mails for job opportunities which was very helpful. Not only do they have a great career center, they also have an outstanding advising staff from my experience. I was assigned to Ryan Polk and he was very helpful in my first semester. He helped me with transitioning and was very interested in his students. If you decide to dorm, be aware that there may be weekly fire alarms according to other students who lived there. A smart move is to get a couple of roommates and your own place around the Kenosha area. Fortunately, Kenosha is affordable. The student union offers a variety of restaurants. I was a commuter (didn't live on campus) so I never got old of eating there. Student life was lively. If you live on campus, you should check out the fraternities/sororities. I know it's not for everyone, but it's something to do because you're in Kenosha! It's better than just staying in your dorm. I had a pleasure of being an associate member of the Delta Upsilon fraternity but had to withdraw due to the fact that I had my own business going on and that I wasn't able to commit fully due to my schedule but I firmly believe in their foundations. I wish they offered more scholarships and more support towards minorities and transfer students. This was definitely a white-dominated campus. Also, tuition is currently rising and it's projected to rise every year so make sure that you're financially ready to commit to that and try not to take out as much student loans. It's a shame I had to leave because I was given an opportunity in Silicon Valley and I'm planning to pursue my education in either Stanford or Berkeley.

I never got the receipt and I had been waiting for a while so I decided to take action and go up and ask. To my confused and shocked self, the girl (long black/dark brown hair with big eyes) told me that I never ordered a pretzel. So your telling me I paid 8.50 for a tall drink? If that's the case then this is way overpriced for not even a good drink. I got scammed and I felt ashamed and embarrassed in public and I will never be coming back.

The ability to leave a review for this prison on Google is disabled for a reason!…read more I would only give them ONE star for the cleanliness, which the inmates are responsible for. So they don't even deserve that! Firstly, As a civilian who visits a loved one who is incarcerated at this institution- I would like to give credit to the sensible correctional officers that are pleasant to engage with.. And they are very FEW and FAR in between!! The other 95% of the COs treat the family members like shit and I can only imagine how they treat the inmates! They have the most vile attitudes and slick mouths, screaming "I abuse my authority". The environment is not helpful for a person who is trying to change their lives for the better and it's not the inmates making it hard for each other (most of the time), it's actually the correctional officers and that is twisted! The dirty cops you see in the movies, they actually exist and work there at RCI. When you call on the phone, you get attitude from the departments that have COs answering AND anyone outside of that department are not answering the phone and they don't return phone calls! No one takes initiative to help resolve an issue, they give you the runaround with their incompetence. If you're an inmate and you want to enroll in a school program, GOOD LUCK getting in contact with the director of education! If you're a loved one looking to speak with their counselor, GOOD LUCK with that too. They never answer and they never call back! I do not recommend ANY inmates to transfer to RCI if they have a choice. Highly recommended that the warden clean house and rehire
