    if your looking for a school with diversity and an affordable start to your degree, here is the place to start. whether you are fresh out of high school, or coming back after years of not being in school, you will find something to be a part of. free tutoring, study groups, online help, etc.... ivy tech goes above and beyond to help you succeed!
    Tips for prospective students

    get to an advisor asap, but also do your homework on what it takes for transfers, and what other schools require if you do transfer. it makes your time more efficient so you are not doing classes for nothing. also if you are interested in a certain field, ask your advisor if classes in that field count as your elective. for example, i want to one day have a transitional home for addicted women. i am enrolled in the human services associates program, but for my elective i took all classes relating to substance abuse. when i transfer, those credits are used towards my masters in substance abuse counseling.
    Academic Rigor

    academically you basically get what you pay for. although there are always those teachers who go the extra mile, so do your homework and ask around to see if your upcoming teachers have that extra umph. if not switch classes to a better known teacher!
    Dorm Life

    dorms are mixed with ipfw which is right across the road, and they have a free bus system just for the two schools. so you get to become friends with a dynamic of people. they just built three or four new buildings... completely furnished! extremely nice!
    Food and Dining

    everything is within minutes of ivytech. right down the road you have your pick from steak houses, italian, chinese, burgers, etc... also the mall is just down the road which makes it easy to shop!
    What to do for fun

    fort wayne has a array of things to do! movies, plays, museums, laser tag, paint ball, mini golf! something to do every weekend without getting bored of the same old routine!

    ivy tech is a wonderful beginner college. i would not suggest it for an individual that knows exactly what they want to do with their life in regards to their career path. this is more of a college for a required a.s degree for a career one is already in or for someone that has no clue where they want to go in life and desires to go to college immediately.
    Tips for prospective students

    punctuality is always important! whether it is with your homework assignments or just being to class on-time. leaving class early should never be an option. i have found the teachers and professors wait until the end of class to give the most important details for the next class or upcoming exam. missing class with a prior notice to the professor is not as frowned upon i have come to learn. if you are going to have attendance issues, understand this is not high school, the teachers will not hold your hand through it. you need to be responsible and take responsibility for your own actions regardless whether they are in good faith or not.
    Academic Rigor

    professors are fabulous at helping you find your direction as well as getting you on the right path for your career choice.
    Dorm Life

    not applicapable
    Food and Dining

    considering this is a community college, i would give them props for the food options they offer.
    What to do for fun

    possibilities are endless for fun activities to do around campus. there are offices at harshman hall and the main campus coliseum campus that will lead you in the right direction if you wish to get involved in extra-curricular activities.
    Bang for the buck

    wonderful education for the prices per class! it doesn't get much better than this for such a great educational experience!
    Great for these types of students

    beginning students should definitaly look into attending ivy tech community college
    Campus Safety

    they take the safety of their students very seriously!

    ivy tech needs to work on it's english department. i enjoy the financial aid options at ivy tech. ivy tech gives a lot of financial aid to it's students which helps a lot with anything a student would need to pay for.
    Tips for prospective students

    avoid the english composition teacher with the last name beard, but the composition teacher paula ashe is an amazing teacher and she actually enjoys what she does and enjoys helping her students. be sure to take the new student seminar because the class will give you good advice with how to manage your school money and ways of finding scholarships (very much worth the long class times).
    Academic Rigor

    very good academics
    Dorm Life

    no dorms on the actual campus; you would have to go to ipfw dorms.
    Food and Dining

    the cafes in the student life center and the main campus both have very good food; sometimes there are long lines but they move fairly fast.
    Campus Safety

    both parts of the campus have security offices so it's very safe there.

    I went to Ivy Tech for the Culinary/Baking program. I loved it here, the staff was amazing. The teachers knew exactly what they were doing and I learned tons of new techniques and developed a new taste and sense for food.
    Tips for prospective students

    Definitely look into this for Culinary Option, as well as Baking. The program varies between 1 and 3 years depending on what you do and if you go full time or not. This was an amazing experience.
    Academic Rigor

    It wasnt so much academic as it was hands-on, on the job training kind of thing. Yes, some classes was more book work than others. But the majority of classes is all lab time, which is the huge chunk of your grade. This program is meant for people who love food and are willing to remember their studies in the kitchen, not on paper.
    Dorm Life

    No dorms at Fort Wayne. However, most people attending here are living pretty close.
    Food and Dining

    Food and Dining are awesome, considering you make all your food here. I got to taste foods from all over the world and eat thousands of dollars worth in food (caviar, calamari, truffles [mushroom], and other exotic foods)
    What to do for fun

    For fun, you can join clubs or organizations associated with your degree program.
    Bang for the buck

    You get SO much for your dollar. It costs about $1500 for a semester of classes here (full time), while at other places it can cost $25,000 a semester (at least for culinary)
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    none.
    Great for these types of students

    All types.
    Clubs and Activities

    not positive, I wasnt a part of any

    This is a top notch campus and the adm is very willing to help you.
    Academic Rigor

    That really depends up on your study habits.
    Dorm Life

    Is available, but I live off campus and cannot give any knowledge out about dorm life.
    Food and Dining

    Two campuses in Fort Wayne and both have great cafes.
    What to do for fun

    You name and I will perhaps try it.
    Bang for the buck

    Great educational value at Ivy Tech.
    Great for these types of students

    Everyone
    Clubs and Activities

    Has all the traditional and some non-traditional college clubs and activities.

    This school is embracing and offers a lot of extra help for those who struggle and want to make a difference on their career. Most teachers are very supportive and knowledgeable. It is a great, affordable option for those who want to transfer, because anything you study here does transfer to another school in Indiana.
    Tips for prospective students

    Great place to get affordable general education or associates degree
    Dorm Life

    I do not use this service!
    Food and Dining

    I prefer to bring food from home because I am cheap. There are some options I like in their restaurant, though.
    Bang for the buck

    Best deal around!
    Great for these types of students

    -Students planning on getting into the workforce faster;
    -Cheap students;
    -Students who wants to transfer;
    -Returning students;
    -Students not prepared for a more challenging school;
    -Students not prepared for college yet (Ivy Tech does offer classes to level your knowledge in case you forgot or did not get enough in High School)
    Campus Safety

    If you choose, the school may text you with whether and other safety issues.

    Ivy Tech Community College-Northeast is not the best college out there. However, they do provide a relatively cheap education to those who are willing to work for it. I would recommend Ivy Tech to anyone in the Fort Wayne are who is looking for a cheap route to getting a degree.
    Tips for prospective students

    Make sure you are ready to take on the work load. You have got to be prepared to take on a lot of work as a college student. This includes putting aside time to study and do big projects. Another thing is that since Ivy Tech does not offer on campus living you should be prepared to deal with the traffic while commuting to class.
    Academic Rigor

    It's kind of a gamble with Ivy Tech. They do not always have professors who have a great subject knowledge of what they are teaching. Sometimes you will get a professor who knows what they are talking about but doesn't know how to portray the information to the students. It's kind of hot-or-cold with Ivy Tech. Although I will say that I have had some of the best professors of my life there.
    Dorm Life

    Ivy Tech does not offer on campus living. IPFW (the college across the street) does offer for Ivy Tech students to stay in their dorms. I have heard very nice things about these dorms, however they are VERY expensive to stay in.
    Food and Dining

    The Ivy Tech Cafe's are student run and always offer good food. It's usually pretty cheap too. If you don't like their food at the cafe you can always get food out of the many vending machines all around campus. They even offer headphones in the vending machines! I thought that was convenient for someone who needed some headphones last minute.
    What to do for fun

    If you have time between classes to spare you can always drive five minutes down the road to The Glenbrook Mall. There are also Starbucks' all over town and The Firehouse Cafe is always a good choice. Ivy Tech also offers lounges which include couches and chairs for students to sit in. They are pretty comfortable too.
    Bang for the buck

    I personally don't care for Ivy Tech. That is why I am transferring to Liberty University this coming fall. I feel like Ivy Tech is a great choice for someone who doesn't have much money.
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    I don't think they have any. At least not that I am aware of.
    Great for these types of students

    Great for students who don't have much money and are willing to work hard to pursue the career of their dreams.
    Clubs and Activities

    They have Student Government who puts on activities every now and then. Not very often though.
    Greek Life

    Nope.
    Campus Safety

    Sometimes I feel like the security officers move slower than cold molasses running up hill. However, they are good at giving out tickets.

    Ivy tech is a good school for those who work, have families, or just not into a big campus. Ivy tech is a two year college that makes it easy to transfer credits to a four year. Ivy tech continues to grow and expand making more options available with each year.
    Tips for prospective students

    There is somewhat of a campus life, with groups and activities to join. Across the street is the four year university which is intermixed with many student taking classes at both schools.
    Academic Rigor

    With the teachers I have experienced many of the have PhD or come from a university. Not all are this way, I have just been fortunate.
    Dorm Life

    Again there are no dorms but if you are going to the four year university they have dorms.
    Food and Dining

    Their is food everywhere. Every street every for corner. It is in a a city population of about 250,000.
    What to do for fun

    Yoga, biking, movies, mall, sports, quite a bit to do.
    Campus Safety

    You will find patrol quite frequently. They are constantly on the hunt for parking violations.

    Ivy Tech is a great way for people who are from low income families to afford a higher education. Ivy Tech has helped me gain closer access to my dream of becoming a teacher. They provide a free shuttle service for students who struggle with gas money or for those who do not drive.
    Tips for prospective students

    DO NOT PROCRASTINATE!! Study hard.
    Academic Rigor

    Most professors want to push you to your limit and help you succeed. However, success will only be dependent on rather or not you want to succeed. You definitely do not get babied because every decision you make is completely up to yourself.
    Dorm Life

    I do not live on campus.
    Food and Dining

    Ivy Tech has a few cafe's where the culinary students work at. It is a great way to get them involved for their future careers.
    What to do for fun

    You can definitely search the net when you are not in class and socializing with other students is definitely a must. Ivy Tech has certain clubs, and random activities throughout the week. Anything from film clubs to religious clubs to paranormal clubs. There is something for everybody!
    Bang for the buck

    You definitely get your moneys worth.
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    I know each month is a different history month. There has been fashion shows, or an impersonator will perform every now and then. This year was a Ce-lo Green impersonator.
    Great for these types of students

    Ivy Tech is for students who are low income and want an education. It is also for those who want a great education for a reasonable price.
    Clubs and Activities

    Like I said before, anything from the paranormal club to film club, theres an endless amount of clubs to join!
    Greek Life

    Not sure about this one.
    Campus Safety

    There is always campus security on duty.

    Tips for prospective students

    dont give up on your hopes of not being able to get in to a school, eventually when you least expect it a college will contact you, just keep your head up and stay positve, dont get frustrated when you make your schedule it all work out in the end :)
    Great for these types of students

    small campus, dont want to live on campus, online classes and on the campus courses
