Review of Heartland Community College

from Bloomington, IL

Did learn a lot

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!

Did enjoy being here

I really enjoyed my time at Heartland. I loved the feel that I felt when walking around campus. It has helped me tremendously in my academic life as well as my personal life. I know what I want to major in. It took me awhile but I'm glad that the teachers made each class inviting and fun. This helped me with my decision. The teachers are very kind and caring. The small class sizes made it really easy to approach my teachers if ever I needed help with anything. They were extremely accommodating to my needs and I felt they didn't just care about me as a student, but as a person as well! Most, if not all of my credits transferred to my 4 year school. (60ish). They are really good at transferring credits if you decide to go on to further your academic career!

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

Heartland is extremely low in regards to cost compared to a 4 year school that's for sure! However, This does not lessen its value as an academic institution. Some of Heartland's teacher are employed by ISU as well so I consider it to be a really good deal! It's kind of like going to a 4 year school and getting the education you would there but for way less money and in most cases, a smaller environment.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

I would highly recommend going to Heartland! Don't be afraid to approach your teachers as they are there to help YOU! It took me a long time to figure that out.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

ANY! It's amazing to get your general education requirements out of the way. If you already know what you want to do if and when you decide to move on, that's even better!
