The great thing about Iowa Western Community College, is that even though it's a two-year college, it doesn't lack anything that a four-year college has. I'm loving my classes, and learning quite a bit more than I thought I would from the teachers here. What I think is great about the teachers, is that they support you and become your mentors if you need them to be. That's really important because after you graduate, you'll have an abundance of teachers you can talk to from networking at Iowa Western.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
The campus is wonderful, and there's always something fun to do with friends. The only downside that I see is if you don't live on campus, which I don't. So it's kind of hard to schedule meetings and classes when I have to commute back and forth to my house.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
You definitely get a bang for your buck here! That's exactly why I chose Iowa Western Community College. You're getting the same education, and taking the exact same classes as University students, for half the price! With the economy at it's current state, this is something that you shouldn't overlook.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
A very important tip for prospective students would be knowing what you want to major in before coming to Iowa Western. If you just pick General Studies, you may be stuck taking classes that you either don't like, don't count towards you degree, or even worse, you fail. So really think about what you want to major in, otherwise you might be here for more than two years!
Which types of students will excel at your college?
I think Iowa Western is great for every type of student. We've got great sport teams, clubs to join, and a variety of majors to choose from. I definitely think there's something here for every student to enjoy.
