Review of Hawkeye Community College

from Denver, IA

Did learn a lot

I learned a lot in my history classes, Russian civilization, coaching classes, math, science, and educational classes. Each of my classes were beneficial to me and I learned a lot. I would say that none of my classes were a waste of time.

Did enjoy being here

I loved it here. All the buildings are in one big circle, so not very spread out, so easy to run into friends in different majors. Campus is pretty small and class sizes are small, which I like. There were also a lot of events/activities throughout the week held on campus and there were many clubs/organizations that students could get involved in. I was involved in the Student Senate, Student Ambassadors, Hawkeye Activities Team, Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society, Education Club, Multicultural Club, Latino Club, and cross country club. I also tutored in the TRIO program; it was a great place to build leadership, professional, and academic skills.

Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?

It is very cheap to attend here. Books are expensive, but most textbooks are expensive. The good thing at Hawkeye is that can return books at the end of the semester and get quite a bit of money back. Plus, they have a lot of scholarships listed on their web page for students to apply for. I actually got a full ride here because I was the top of my class, so that was nice.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

This is a great place for students who like small surroundings and small class sizes. Plus, there is furniture in the Student Brock Center where students can hang out and there is a fitness room in there as well. I would also recommed you take a campus tour around the campus, so will know where everything is located.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

This is a great place to build leadership, professional, and academic skills before transfering to a university. This is a great transition from high school before attend a university. Plus, one can get thier general ed/liberal arts courses out of the way for cheaper amount of money before attending a university. It also gives one more time to think about what they want to do if they don't know what they want to major in yet.
