This school has an unparalleled hometown feel to it. You will find that the majority of the professors are so passionate about what they teach that you will begin to feel some of that passion within yourself. The campuses are all gorgeous and accessible to students from all walks of life.
Jade from Port St Lucie, FL
indian river is the #1 most affordable college in the us, and students always get their monies worth by attending. the small class sizes are perfect for getting involved in lectures and labs, and for personal relationships with the professors and teachers. indian river may be a growing college, but irsc has state-of-the-art technology that makes earning a degree very worthwhile.
Amber from Fort Pierce, FL
IRSC is a great school to attend, whether you are planning to transfer to university or complete a four-year degree on the local campus. The tuition is very reasonable and the course selection is fairly comprehensive. Everyone is very helpful -- from the academic advisors, to the classroom professors and the teachers helping out in the study labs.
