    It is a good cheap school to go to. Many people are friendly and the professors are well qualified. It was a great community college to go to.

    Tips for prospective students

    Make sure to always be on time for classes and don't delay for payments because you can get dropped out of a class for owing money. Also ask for help if needed, there's many people that can help you around campus.

    Academic Rigor

    Study hard for every class and the grades will reflect you're hard work. Many students slack off in easy classes, but don't be that kind of student. It is easy to just get stuck in a community college like IVC.

    Dorm Life

    No dorms are offered in IVC.

    Food and Dining

    The burrito and pizza are probably the best food they serve there. It is a little expensive, but at least the meat is grilled right outside the student center and it smells great.

    What to do for fun

    Be involved in many groups around campus. There is different social groups around that will gladly help you fit in.

    imperial valley college would not be a school i would recommend to a student. the college is very disorganized, professors and staff are not helpful, and treat students who don't have priority registration unfairly.

    Tips for prospective students

    some tips i would give to incoming students would be either join a club that will give you priority registration or if you have the money to go somewhere else, go! the school is broke, and instead of adding clases for students, they knock down buildings. i have heard stories about students waiting 4 semesters just to take one class due to the lack of classes and over population of students.

    Academic Rigor

    one of the only good things about this college is that they have one of the best nursing programs in the country. but, good luck getting in, they only accept 20 a semester and there is only one class for every pre-requisite you need.

    Dorm Life

    we don't have dorms. not even for athletes.

    Food and Dining

    its alright. very expensive and only few choices to select from: snacks (chips, candy, fruit), or mexican food.

    What to do for fun

    go to basketball games when the teams are good. other than that, nothing.

    Great for these types of students

    anyone who is a non smoker would enjoy this school. completely non smoking campus.
