    They have cross enrollment programs that allows full-time students to take classes they can't get at DMACC at ISU, Grandview, or Drake and DMACC will cover tuition. I've used this a few times and it has been really nice. The only drawback is that this can only be done once per school year. In certain buildings on the different campuses, usually the informational building or building 1 on Ankeny Campus you can get discounted tickets to movies and other things.

    DMACC is not what I expected from a community college. These classes are, in my opinion, the same quality and difficulty that a student would receive at a 4-year school.

    This college is much cheaper than a public university or college and it's a great place to get your general classes done.

    I am paying half of what my friends are that have chosen Indian Hills or William Penn. We are taking the same classes and I put in less travel time and homework time but am attaining better grades. I believe choosing DMACC was the best choice I ever made.
