I love East Central Ivy Tech Community college because they are a family oriented, student focused school with many helpful resources available for the students. The teachers provide as much time as needed with students to help them excel in needed areas, as well as specifically designated teachers who work for Ivy Tech solely as tutors. The atmosphere is diverse and laid back, compared to universities.
Tips for prospective students
If you live within distance from Ivy Tech, in the Indiana area, and are looking for a college that works with you at your pace, sign up as soon as possible, you won't regret it!
Academic Rigor
Ivy Tech is known for their statement, Teach me and I will try to learn, show me and I may learn, but let me follow your steps and I will understand! - I agree with this statement, as I learn better hands-on, and much of the Ivy Tech syllabus is hands-on, so the students will understand what they are learning.
Dorm Life
There is no dorm life here, as this school mostly educates family and working people.
Food and Dining
They have many affordable vending machines at Ivy Tech, as well as several portable food vendors that come throughout the year.
What to do for fun
Ivy Tech has many programs for fun, and even sports, if your interested.
Bang for the buck
For the amount that you save each year, by choosing Ivy Tech over the other area colleges, you will be amazed at the one on one treatment each student gets!
Great for these types of students
Ivy Tech is great for working and/or single parents, as well as recent high school graduates, or retirees who would like to go to school full time or less, for whatever reasons.
Clubs and Activities
They have too many clubs and activities to name, go to; ivytech.edu and look over their website for more information.
Greek Life
Phi Beta Thappa is the Greek life at Ivy Tech.
Campus Safety
Ivy Tech has an array of security across the entire campus at any given time day or night!

Ivy Tech has a nice campus, and I don't feel like I will get lost. They also have very helpful staff, and a wide variety of courses. They also have many resources to encourage learning.
Tips for prospective students
Call, or visit a campus to get a good idea of what it would be like to attend this college. Make an appointment with an advisor. They are very knowledgeable, and willing to help.
Academic Rigor
Some of the classes are intense, but the instructors are always willing to help. There is also tutoring available to help you with class work you don't understand. You can succeed!
Dorm Life
As an Ivy Tech student I enjoy being able to attend college, and live from my own home. I am married and have two young children. I find this is a nice convenience.
Food and Dining
There is a gentleman that has a hot dog cart that sells food, but there aren't any restaurants within 5 minutes. It would take about 10 minutes to get to an eating establishment.
What to do for fun
Muncie has a lot of delicious restaurants, a city pool, bowling, roller skating, college football games, fishing, arcade/laser tag, parks, children's museum, some free concerts and activities at minnetrista, concerts at Emens Auditorium, and movies. There are plenty of things to do in Muncie.
Bang for the buck
Ivy Tech is very affordable, and is outstanding in quality as well. It is almost a quarter of the amount you would pay at other colleges. I know it is well worth the money that I have spent.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
Not that I know of.
Great for these types of students
This school has a lot of diversity, and any type of student would do well no matter age, sex, religion, race, or ethnicity. As a parent I feel this college meets my needs very well, and has flexible classes.
Clubs and Activities
There are all kinds of clubs offered, and more information can be found on the Ivy Tech website.
Campus Safety
There are always security officers monitoring the campus. They will also direct traffic during busy times on campus.
