Categories Comments Great for these types of students veterans, adult, traditional, non traditional.
Tips for prospective students Always ask for help when you need it. Never be afraid to approach your professors or reach out to other classmates for assistance. Join some type of club if you can find time for it!
Bang for the buck Financially, this school is great! You don't pay a lot of money and learn only from the book. The professors are knowledgeable and keep you up to date on the field that you are studying. There are also a lot of readily available resources.
Am enjoying being here I really like going to school here because it has given me the flexibility to live me life as I need to. There are many options for weekend, night, and online courses if that is a need for you.
Am learning a lot Most professors at this school are here because they actually want to teach their students about the subject. If they are involved with any research it is not their primary focus while on campus unless the students are involved. If you ever need any help or have questions, the professors are very approachable and always willing to help you. You have to able to ask for them to help though.

Categories Comments What to do for fun There are tons of activities around campus. They have a lot of student functions during the year. The teachers often will offer extra credit for some of the events that are held on campus also!
Food and Dining The cafeteria at this school is great! They are pretty cheap, and they have a variety of food selections. Anything from pre-made sandwiches, to freshly cooked hamburgers. The also have plenty of vending machines around, so if you are low on energy in between or even during class, you can use those.
Dorm Life This community college does NOT offer dorms! They do, however, offer student housing down the street from campus. This is at a discounted rate, and the options vary from sharing a place with a few students, to having a simple place to call your own with some of your friends.
Academic Rigor The programs that they offer are very diverse. If they don't have a particular program that you want to enroll in, the generalized associates degree is an easy 60 credits. The teachers are very knowledgeable, and stay on topic! The classes are always fun, but they teach you everything you need to know to feel like you are getting your money out of it.
Tips for prospective students Research the classes that you need to take for the program you want. If you like a certain teacher, take them for as many classes that they teach! This is very helpful for returning students. Make sure you look at all financial aid options, before deciding to not go to school!
In three sentences Inver Hills is a great school with many great features! It offers many different classes and courses that appeal to just about anyone. The teachers are wonderful, and they are always willing to help out.

Categories Comments What to do for fun There are many student activities like clubs and rentals if you think you want to go hiking or something along those lines. Not to mention movie days every once in a while!
Tips for prospective students All I have to say for anyone thinking about Inver, is to make sure you get help if your even remotely not understanding anything. Inver has many free tutors that are at your disposal whenever you need them.
In three sentences Inver Hills is a great college to start out at. With all it's student based activities and fun things going on every week (such as movies and magicians), it's hard not to have a bit of fun while learning.
