Indian Hills Community College

Wonderful staff, nice campus and selection of available courses, and a fantastic cafeteria!

A nice college. My only complaint is the nontransparent limits they put on financial aid and the lack of decent organization to explain where your money went.

Really great education experience made life long friendships, learned life skilled and got a free college associate degree from a partner ship. Great education over all.

This place is horrible. The dorms have cockroaches, a really bad infestation of cockroaches!! They have outdated elevators that should have been replaced years ago, they are just now replacing one of them. They would get stuck, open with no elevator in which someone could have been severely injured, one even caught on fire. Then now two of which I have seen of the washing machines are broken so some of us cannot do our laundry. The bathrooms are rather filthy. The parking lots need repairs badly. I have been treated poorly by numerous people including a professor who forced me and a friend to drop out of her class. That professor also called my friend a distraction because he is bisexual. The food in the cafeteria isn't the best. I honestly find this place a waste of time and money. It's not even worthy of being called a college.

The campus itself is beautiful, and the professors are great and the people at the One Stop building are very helpful. But Financial Aid is a pain to deal with and when you're enrolled in just one class at a time, and you don't pass, they take away your FASFA and they don't tell you until you apply for a couple classes, then all of a sudden they tell you that you can't. The whole system they have there is outdated and ridiculous. The only thing I enjoyed about the campus was at the St. John Auditorium where there were performances put on by guests coming in, the choir and jazz band performances, and ESPECIALLY the theatre performances. This is a good college to go to if you want cheap education, and if you have a lot of patience.

I graduated this past May. My first year I had no problems. My second year was absolutely awful. One of the ladies in the as tech building is more than rude. Also one of the academic advisors canceled my financial aid for the term and told me I was ready to graduate but I was 2 credits short. Then with information you'll get.a different answer from each representative you talk to and the answers conflict. I will say that most of the instructors are absolutely wonderful and setting up your classes is a breeze. I just wish the faculty that didn't teach were more trained and knew what they were doing.

I have had such a bipolar relationship with Indian Hills that I don't know where to even start. Good/Positive: Campus greenery is beautiful, Friendly and normally Understanding Teachers, "The Pit" as a social gathering place, Spent most of my time there,The Arts and Drama Department, Easy to Apply, Good Medical/Counseling. Bad/Negative: Living expenses are outrageous, especially for a small college that has not much for variety and choices. Food never changes and I barely ate there, so it was a waste of money for me. My dorm in Trustee was fine, nothing special but I was happy with the space. However I went through 3 different roommates prior to starting and after the first month my other was offered a better living space. The OneStop has often been portrayed as rude. Not only with my own experiences, but with other students as well. I am a friendly, nice, but cautious student. I am going to have QUESTIONS. I do not appreciate being talked down to. I am a first generation traditional student in my family, so a lot of the information isn't common knowledge for me. I understand a bad and busy day, but this happened on several occasions for several different type of questions/concerns. Now, Dropped Classes. I was a very ambitious student, so I got my AA done in one year. However, a class that was needed was apparently dropped. I was not notified about it until I asked the OneStop. They said I should have received an email, which I didn't. This class was suppose to be a simple science class since I am nothing close to a scientist, but I needed the credit. With one day prior to beginning of term, I had to shuffle through what was remaining since I was never notified in time. I was left with a horribly difficult class, ONLINE. Passed with a C, but hated every moment of it. There were other class situations I had with them, but this was the biggest deal to me.Luckily for me, I was involved with the arts department and had some very good teachers. I am not knocking the academics, just the people who are suppose to help and guide you to them. I have been disappointed several times and for following friends thinking about going to hills I warn them of all of this. I often say, "Stay at home or off campus if possible, save yourself the money. Worry about your classes and good luck asking for help. The teachers will be there for you, but I don't know about the rest of the institution."This college is probably excellent for students in the technology center and nursing, however for a future transfer student or gen eds, there is no guarantee that this college is for you.

The professors are awesome but Indian Hills is too overpriced! The dorms are super expensive and not worth it. I had to share a bathroom with half of the floor and it was always gross. The hallways echo so you can hear everyone coming and going all night long. Laundry is also a joke. There was 2 washers and 2 dryers for our whole floor and they were ALWAYS broken. I had to take my laundry 50 miles home to do it.

They have a cockroach problem, multiple outdated/ broken utilities such as washers and elevators. The food isn't all the greatest. They waste good furniture by throwing it away and getting "fancier" stuff for the formal lounge. The rooms are over priced. Half of a 13 by 13 room shouldn't cost over $700 per term. The bathrooms are dirty. I had to put tape over my window because it was broken and I asked them numerous times to fix it and they said they would but never did. Take your business elsewhere people. This place isn't even worth a penny.

Not the biggest or best funded community college, but from my experiences through there computer software development program for the last year and a half I have enjoyed it. They have great instructors. And through there internship program I got a I.T job just 6 months into it.
