Student/Alumnus Reviews of Schools for This Career and State
Ivy Tech • Richmond, IN
Studying General Education And Computers (completion in 2004)
• 12/17/2011
"This seems like a very good school that really works to help students accomplish the degree goals they have. The courses thoroughly teach you the subject matter and everyone is very helpful."
Ratings are on a 1-10 scale
| Characteristic | Rating | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Would Recommend? | yes | It is a very good school with good teachers and classes, as well as good help. I would very much recommend this school, not only to anyone who is seeking the same degree, but also to anyone seeking any type of degree they offer. |
| Program Reputation | 9 | They seem to have a very good reputation for this program, as well as other programs they offer. I have heard this school recommended several times. |
| Program Quality | 10 | The program is very thorough and covers all of the material well. The teachers are helpful and the overall program really ensures you know the industry and how to operate in the future position for which you are studying. |
| Instruction | 9 | The teachers were really good. They thoroughly explained the material to ensure it was clearly understood by the students. |
| How Difficult | 3 | It was not very difficult for most of the courses. There were, however, some courses that were slightly difficult. |
| Hands-On vs. Bookish | There is a mix of both hands-on and book learning. You learn a lot from the books to begin with, to learn some of the basic concepts, and then you get assigned projects that let you practice what you learn. | |
| Schedule Flexibility | 7 | The classes do have some flexibility in that you can take evening or nonlinear classes to meet your needs. There are some classes that are only offered on campus either in the morning or afternoon, which are required for the degree, and you cannot do evening or nonlinear with those. |
| Academic Facilities | 9 | The facilities are really good for the classroom sizes and building. There has even been a new, larger building built since I was there, to make room for larger classes. There is a computer lab that any student can use for free, and the advisers are very helpful. They will sit down with you and discuss the degree you want and how to go about obtaining it. They will work with you if you want to transfer, and they will work with the other school, to ensure you earn all of the transfer credits needed. They also help you get financial aid and will walk you through the entire process. They are very helpful. |
| Social Life | 8 | There are several clubs and organizations you can join to interact with other students. They have degree-specific clubs, so you can interact with other students who are studying the same thing you are. There are a lot of opportunities to get involved on campus. |
| Placement Services | 8 | They do offer some assistance with jobs after you finish attending. It is not extensive help, as they do not set up interviews for you; however, they do point you in the right direction, so you know where to apply and how you can actually apply the degree you earned. |
| Alumni Network | 10 | They have a really good alumni network. I still receive newsletters that are for alumni, and I receive invites to campus events. |
