REVIEWS

Read What Students Are Saying
Heartland helped me figure out what I wanted to major in. Some of the teachers are also employed at ISU so you know they are knowledgeable. Even the ones that aren't are really, really good at what they do. Each class I had turned out to be fun and a joy to go to while still learning things in the process!
Justin from Bloomington, IL
I am able to get my general education classes taking care of and I learn a lot in each class. The classes are not huge which means that the professor is able to spend more time to get to know each student and they are able to help him or her more easily.
