What Students Are Saying

A very important tip for prospective students would be knowing what you want to major in before coming to Iowa Western. If you just pick General Studies, you may be stuck taking classes that you either don't like, don't count towards you degree, or even worse, you fail. So really think about what you want to major in, otherwise you might be here for more than two years!
Val from a small town in Iowa
Get to know your advise. We have the best advisor's around. They can do almost anything to make sure your are happy in your degree choose even if you are a non-traditional student like me. Instructors are even there to help with tutoring.
Angela from Omaha, NE
A tip for prospective students would be, to pick up your books before your course/courses start. If you wait til class starts it could be a long wait in the check out line for your books.
My 2nd Semester from Council Bluffs, IA
Prospective students should remember they are there for education first and need to abide by the life-style that it demands, and try not to get lost in the typical slacker scene
Robert from Council Bluffs, IA
Pick a program and stick with it. You will not regret getting your degree!
Dana
Attend orientation that is offered prior to attending classes. Have a goal or degree to work towards, even if you think you may change your mind. Always attend class and do your assignments when given so you do not fall behind. Make sure the credits that you are receiving will transfer if you plan to go to a four year university/college.
