    Am learning a lot

    The professors actually care about the students in their classes and often give out their personal cell numbers so students can call them. Also, smaller class sizes make one-on-one time more available.
    Am enjoying being here

    There are SO many fun on and off campus events to go to! There are BBQs, Karaoke, discounted or free movie showings, inflatables, root beer floats, and so much more!
    Bang for the buck

    Iowa Central is very well priced compared to other colleges. Even if you live on campus, you will pay much less for much more.

    iowa central community college is a great way to get started on your future, whether you plan to work for an associate of arts or get general education credits out of the way for transfer. the staff and students are helpful and friendly, and they truly want to help you learn. the atmosphere at iowa central is easy going with an emphasis on success.
    Tips for prospective students

    how many times has someone told you to stay on task and get your homework done? well, it still holds true. like any other school, you have homework and tests, quizzes and research papers. what makes the difference between a failing grade and an a+ is how much effort you put into it. iowa central has many opportunities that you can make use of, including tutors, test help, and extended lab hours.
    Academic Rigor

    as a community college, you can tell that iowa central is working on preparing people for transfer. the general education classes are nearing their equivalent at a four year college, but still leave a little lacking in the preparation department.
    Dorm Life

    iowa central has many dorm options with new dorms being added on a fairly regular basis. the rooms are clean and roomy, although some of the newer dorms place up to five people in the same living quarters.
    Food and Dining

    with a dining hall with many options, there are few complaints. but iowa central makes it easy for students who don't live on campus as well by offering two additional eateries. and if thats not enough? subway, caseys and mcdonalds are all within walking distance.
    What to do for fun

    iowa central community college works hard to make the experience enjoyable for its students. they focus on activities that draw in a crowd, and help people experience culture or new experiences. while this emphasis is heavier during the beginning of the fall semester, there is usually at least one thing going on every week, as well as discounts at the local movie theater.
    Bang for the buck

    i'm getting three years of college (two a.a.s's and one a.a) for the price of one year at a state institution. i can't complain about the cost of tuition. not to mention, iowa central offers many other amenities for its students.

    i'm enrolled in the online program. this is the most comprehensive online study program i have participated in. the instructors are very responsive to student needs.
    Tips for prospective students

    research tuition and book costs. know if you are an on-campus or online type of student for the best learning experience.
    Academic Rigor

    online courses are no different than in-person/on campus courses as far as academic rigor. you will spend approximately the same amount of time studying for online courses as you would in-class.

    Am learning a lot

    I was a really advanced student in high school and took a lot of college classes, so there aren't too many electives left for me to take and I have a light load for my semesters (but this isn't necessarily a bad thing, and I have more time for a job and cheerleading)
    Am enjoying being here

    I LOVE it at Iowa Central. It's a smaller town, which I really enjoy and I have some great roommates. I'm involved in cheer which is really fun, but I think it would be that way if you were involved in any of their sports or other activities. Plus the first week or two we're on campus, there's so much fun stuff to do. My admission rep has also been super helpful.
    Bang for the buck

    I love the apartment style dorms. I think that's the best part. They have really nice athletic facilities and a pretty nice band/choir room. Their theater is kind of small, though. The professors have been helpful and nice, plus the class size is pretty small because it's not a huge campus.
