Categories Rating Comments In three sentences i think ihcc is an ok school. there is alot that is great and a lot that is not so great. i love the nursing program.
Tips for prospective students some tips would be: always go to the financial department if you need help with anything. they are nice and will try to help you. they arent rude like other departments. try to get to your classes early because if your late, you wont get a parking spot. dont go to the main cafeteria in the arts and sciences building, it sucks. instead go to the building across from the bennett building.
Academic Rigor i guess it depends which field your in. the nursing program is excellent. and so is the aa program. the culinary program is alright if you liked getting treated like a 5 year old. those are all the programs i've had a taste of. the professors that i've had as a whole is good. you know some are better than others.
Dorm Life depends which dorm your in. trustee is nasty!! dont go to that one. oak is alright. kind of nasty. the others arent as bad. well i guess theyre all kind of gross.
Food and Dining again the cafeteria is not so good in the arts and science building. but the cafe in other building is good. theyre more fresh.
What to do for fun there's really not alot to do for fun unless your a work out junkie or a basketball junkie. otherwise your screwed. (on campus) but once you get off campus you can have a lot of fun.

Categories Rating Comments Am learning a lot I'm going into the science field, and the science and math classes are great! I love my professors, who are very helpful and accessible, and I've learned so much!
Am enjoying being here The campus is small, easy to navigate, clean, and beautiful, the instructors and students are friendly, and the staff is very helpful.
Bang for the buck The classes are fairly affordable, even if you don't get a lot of scholarships or loans. There are also many scholarships available through the Indian Hills Foundation Scholarships program.
Tips for prospective students If you are a going to attend Indian Hills soon, make sure to register for your required classes with time to spare. They fill up very quickly!
Great for these types of students Indian Hills is really great for any type of student. If you think you may have trouble with certain subjects, there are tutoring opportunities open to students, and if you excel in a certain subject, you could even be the tutor! The face-to-face classes and online classes provide learning opportunities for every type of person.

Categories Rating Comments In three sentences IHCC is a very affordable college which is very helpful. They offer a variety of programs which all have great scholarships. There is no school on Friday so this is a real perk.
Tips for prospective students Really think a head if you are planing on attending IHCC or any other college. There is a lot of paper work and some of the process have to be completed before you attend. Also remember class do fill up so sign up as soon as you can.
Academic Rigor IHCC is not supper strickt on grades they like you to have good grades and they offer a lot of resources to help you get good grades. But depending on your program you are in and weather you have financial aid or scholarships, will really determine what kind of grade and GPA they expect out of you.
Dorm Life I personal do not live in the dorms, but all my friends do and they love it. They can be more active in the college and they can hang out with there friends. But I would not like to have to live in a little room and share a bathroom with other girls. But like I said everyone I know loves it so you may too.
Food and Dining There is nothing really fancy about the cafeteria. But the Culinary Art students do cook the food so it tends to be good.
What to do for fun Most of my friends like to go to the Vine which is a coffee shop of campus and there are other things to do but I just manly study so I am not really the one to ask.
Bang for the buck I think that this college is worth the money. But if you plan on transferring to another college after your 2 year program make sure to check that your credits will transfer.
Great for these types of students IHCC is great for students that want to get a 2 year degree or those that are trying to get classes out of the way before going on to a university.
Clubs and Activities There are clubs for almost all the programs. These clubs offer Scholarships so make sure to apply. There is also Choir and Show Choir and about three plays a year. So lots of stuff you could do. There are also sports.
Greek Life There is NO Greek housing.
Campus Safety I would say that the campus is safe. I have never heard of any think happening on campus. But the town that it is in is getting more dangerous. So avoid down town if you are off campus and you should be fine.
