REVIEWS
Read What Students Are SayingYou will learn a lot here at Vincennes. The classes are small and very helpful. Have a bigger opportunity to talk to the teacher one on one.
Jelisa from Pendleton, IN
their are the best.
OLUWATOSIN EMMANUEL from VINCENNES, IN
All of the professors I have met seem to really enjoy being there and teaching. The student-professor relationship seems great.
Corinne from Greenfield, IN
I personally would rate Vincennes an eight out of a ten on a ten point scale. It is a very small school so it allows you to get to know a lot of people. The professors are also pretty awesome.
Bailey Petty from Alexandria, IN
vincennes is a very friendly challenging university. the teachers are very helpful. you can find a lot to do around campus.
Nathaniel from Rossville, IN
i give them five stars for their teachers, advisers, and councilors, but only four stars with there financial aid office. they are positive and accommodating towards people that have difference goals and live different life styles. the only quarrel i have had is how the financial aid office isn't as up front with disbursements dates (unless you specifically ask or a week or two before they will have fliers in their office about it) and problems so you have to seek them out a lot to just get a question answered or to fix a problem.
Jessica from Newberry, IN
They are a great school, with one on one teacher assistance. I love it being local and to have classes that work around my busy life. The smaller classes make it easier to interact with the professor and other students. All questions I have had, were answered professionally from the administration staff. I just love it.
Tina from Holland, IN
This is my first time in college and I am in the nursing program. It is difficult, but the knowledge I am gaining is not just important for my field, but extremely applicable to my life.
Adam from Vincennes, IN
I truly believe Vincennes University is where students can come to get a fresh start. You can make your mark and get involved in a lot of different academic programs.
Anyea from Indianapolis, IN
This college is designed mainly for those who wish to enter the workforce immediately after graduation. But for the most part instead of focusing on textbook readings and lectures to teach, the students learn hands on skills in the classroom for their respective major, usually beginning in the first few weeks.
