What Students Are Saying

I would strongly suggest that prospective students come for a visit to the Univeristy. The Office of Admissions offers campus visits 4 days each week where you receive a guided tour of campus from a current student and have the chance to sit down with an admissions counselor one-on-one. There are also Showcase Days offered once each month where students can come for a visit and have the chance to speak with someone from the major they are interested in. Coming for a visit will help students to see all that IU South Bend has to offer. Whether you become a student at IU South Bend or another institution, get involved on campus and take advantage of any opportunities that come your way. They will make you a more well-rounded student and person, and will help you when it comes time to find a job or pursue another degree after graduation.
Tori from South Bend, IN
There are various sorts of majors you can take while at the school. Don be afraid to go for a major you want not the one others want.
Muris from Mishawaka, IN
Make sure you know the area if you aren't familiar with it! It may not seem like it at first glance, but there are things to do and plenty of good places to eat super close to campus. Stay on top of your to-do list, though, because if you wait til the last minute to do things you could really screw yourself over.
Kristin from South Bend, IN
Don't pass this school by just because it's small and considered a community college by many. It is much more than a community college; It has become a second home to many. Give it a chance!
Jordyn from Elkhart, IN
Communicating with professors of your major is a great tool. My accounting professor helped me way more than my adviser with deciding classes I needed to take and my path to graduation.
