REVIEWS
Read What Students Are SayingThe professors at IUSB are very knowledgeable about the subjects that they teach. I feel as if I learned more in one semester at IUSB than I did in four years of high school. However, I experienced classes that it was hard to follow along with the professors because it seemed as if the professor was TOO knowledgeable and didn't explain it on a level that the students could comprehend.
Katelyn from Nappanee, IN
The classes offered at IU South Bend challenge students in a variety of ways through creative projects, group assignments and presentations, and professors who think outside of the box. A key element of the classes at IU South Bend is critcal thinking, as all of the classes incorporate activities or assignments that force students to look at things from other perspectives.
Tori from South Bend, IN
It is a school where you will find plenty of friends quickly because of the vast majority of students. This is even easier for people that grew up in the area because you will see others that you know. All of the people that I know who have attended IUSB have said it was a great experience and education.
Muris from Mishawaka, IN
Very nice location and the professors are all very nice and willing to help.
Contact with the professors is very efficient and they answer very quickly.
Other students are extremely friendly and it's super easy to join groups.

Humberto from Goshen, IN
It is a safe, clean, and rather nice campus with plenty of spots to study or hang out with friends. Almost all of my professors are helpful and great teachers, and the friends I've made so far are some of the best I've ever had. It's certainly not perfect, but I'm proud to be a Titan!
Kristin from South Bend, IN
Indiana University-South Bend's Ernestine M. Raclin School of the Arts is way underestimated. The professors are very qualified to teach their area of expertise and very easy to learn from. I went in thinking I would want to transfer after my first year, but I will be finishing my degree at IU South Bend, and wouldn't trade my experience here for anything.
Jordyn from Elkhart, IN
Reasonably priced and decent education for community college. Don't have great advisers for scheduling classes and planning your future. Great professors for the most part.
