Tips for prospective students
Check out the Inver Hills website, and you might be surprised at what kind of programs and degrees are available! If you end up attending here, take advantage of your professor's office hours: they love it when students come in for clarification, or for any extra help. It will help you succeed in their class! Also, sign up for classes early, so that you can have the perfect schedule!
Academic Rigor
The work-load is not overwhelming, but the professors do give a fair amount of work. The difficulty of classes largely depends on what class subject it is, and what teacher you end up with.
Dorm Life
There aren't any dorms for Inver, but there are affordable apartments right near the school. These apartments typically include room-mates to keep costs low.
Food and Dining
It is a little pricey, but there a good amount of options, and of course healthy choices! During finals time, they typically give out free study food -- like bananas, apples, water bottles, and candy. Also, there are times when they give out free snacks after 5 pm.
What to do for fun
Join clubs, hang out in the green room (sometimes there are free movies or snacks available), and join events that have free food and games!
Bang for the buck
It is very affordable, class-wise and book-wise! There are many options of when and where to take your courses (nights, day, and online). It is a great environment for learning, as it is a smaller college, so professors are typically more invested in their students. It is definitely worth considering if you'd like an affordable, quality general education before you transfer to a four-year school!
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
One of the unique things about Inver is our garden. Students, faculty, or even local people, may reserve their own garden spot to grow food. Also, certain food we grow goes toward the mobile pantry -- which is accessible to any student on campus, regardless of their need of it. The mobile pantry is a nice way to feed students that may be hungry, and it comes around once a week and has healthy options.

In three sentences
I rate this school a 10 out of 10 for having the fleixble hours, great rates and access to many academic resources. I appreciate that I am able to obtain my dream job qualifications while being a mother and working a full time job. This school has given me opportunity to do it all.

Am learning a lot
Most professors at this school are here because they actually want to teach their students about the subject. If they are involved with any research it is not their primary focus while on campus unless the students are involved. If you ever need any help or have questions, the professors are very approachable and always willing to help you. You have to able to ask for them to help though.
Am enjoying being here
I really like going to school here because it has given me the flexibility to live me life as I need to. There are many options for weekend, night, and online courses if that is a need for you.
Bang for the buck
Financially, this school is great! You don't pay a lot of money and learn only from the book. The professors are knowledgeable and keep you up to date on the field that you are studying. There are also a lot of readily available resources.
Tips for prospective students
Always ask for help when you need it. Never be afraid to approach your professors or reach out to other classmates for assistance. Join some type of club if you can find time for it!
