Moraine Valley has a good reputation within the state of Illinois, and Illinois CCs are some of the best in the country (Arizona and California also have EXCELLENT systems). However, where are you from? If you are in Canada, I'd go to Alberta... if in the US, then the one in Illinois... if a resident of Illinois, then the school that is in-district. If your ultimate goal is to earn a Bachelors from a school in either Alberta or Illinois, then go to their community college. The process for transferring will be streamlined.
