In three sentences
It is a very good college, the Culinary Arts program is really complete. Here at Indian Hills you learn hand on, so going into the real world is easier. The teachers here help you to obtain all the tools you need to have success in your career.
Tips for prospective students
If you are planing to come to IHCC live on campus, it is easier to get to your classes on time and also you will have a lot of fun.
Don't take too many credits, you may get overwhelmed, just take 9 or so your first term.
Academic Rigor
Classes from the first day are tough, but teachers are always there to guide and help you in everything you need.
Dorm Life
It is fun to live on campus, you meet new people, make a lot of friends, and you don't have to commute. There are fun activities to do, like join clubs, play sports, or just hang out with your friends. And the whole college campus has wi-fi.
Food and Dining
The cafeteria is not controlled by the culinary arts program yet, so we have kind of high school cafeteria tasting food, but that will change soon.
What to do for fun
You can play sports, hang out with friends, join clubs, in the summer time there is a pool on campus, and all year long there are different activities available.
Bang for the buck
A great price for such a great education.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
This campus has very beautiful places in it, like ponds, a golf field, and sports field. the climate is excellent and the fall colors are just breath taking.
Great for these types of students
It is great for all kinds of students, we even have an international student office and we have handicap accessibility in all buildings and classrooms.
Clubs and Activities
We are full of clubs and activities here, from choir, student government, culinary club, automobile club, multicultural club and many more.
Campus Safety
There is a team of campus security always around, all buildings need an access card after 10 pm, dorms need access cards all day.

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.
