I appreciate the fact that you could print for free. I am attending UofI as of now & figure if I'm paying $40,000 a year then it should be included. The art Professors were amazing, I enjoyed many of the English professors, and a few of the History professors. They had lots of extra curricular activities. Fun art clubs and Science clubs.

Graduating this year. I like Hills well enough. Its reputation centers around its advance technology programs and health science programs so coming here for computer programming was a no brainer. I lived on campus both years, and while things could be quite, I found my group pretty quick. All in all positive experience, and affordable af.

I graduate with my AA from Hills before going to the University of Iowa. I saved a boatload of money and probably got a better GPA than I would have. My first term I really didn't do anything and hated campus. Once I established a friend group, I enjoyed campus wayyy more. For a community College, Hills is pretty good.

At first I didn't like IHCC because I didn't socialize or take advantage of opportunities. At the time of graduation, I didn't want to leave! Put yourself out there, make friends, join a club, get an on-campus job. There are TONS of opportunities at such a small school like IHCC.

I am going to school for programming & I found this program to be very good. When you are done attending school, you WILL know how to program. The teachers are very helpful. Plus, the programming department works very hard to find jobs for their students.

The school isn't very big, but it's very enjoyable. It's cute, and with the exception of a select few, the professors are very dedicated to helping their students succeed. Definitely recommend!

IHCC as far as education was worthless. the classes were on things that had not been used in 10 years. Terrible staff there who only cared about paychekcs I believe I had a class that was on ASCII art or something it was worth nothing. They focus on basketball to the point where we had basketball players smoking weed in the dorms and nobody cared

This school is not set up to provide quality distance learning experiences. Distance learning students are not the typical college students, but that is not a fact this campus has been told as of 2015. I would avoid this school for such an experience. The assignments/tests are only open for 2 days. Assignments are due at 2:00pm. AVOID!

The food at the North Campus was always edible and delicious but closed at 1p.m. so couldnt get dinner. the main campus food seemed to be reheated garbage that wasn't even edible half the time. the sports are a joke. they spend probably 50% of everything on the 10 or so basketball players that anybody who's been there more than 3months hates.

It's okay, lot of foreigners good people to meet and easy to make connections, some of the teachers are okay. Classes aren't too hard
