Michael from Gary, IN
Reviewer is A current student here.
Categories Rating Comments Am learning a lot Yes. I'm learning a lot of useful information at the campus. It's a smaller campus than a large university, so the instructors take the time to make sure that your actually learning all the information.
Am enjoying being here The campus is filled with students of different cultures and backgrounds. I like the fact that I can meet new people that are not apart of the same area or seem to just be like everyone else. This location has some different clubs and organizations to keep student interested also.
Bang for the buck With it being a community college your coming out cheaper for your tuition and books. Your learning what you need to know as soon as you begin classes. You have computers, tutors, and many more resources available to you at a cheaper cost than larger universities.
Great for these types of students All students.

Am enjoying being here Some on the students don't respect the campus rules.
Bang for the buck I have found that the price for attending college is very expensive. Ivy Tech is a great school to attend for those unable to afford college.
Tips for prospective students If you go in with your goal in mind the instructors make it easy for you.

Mitzi from East Chicago, IN

Categories Rating Comments In three sentences Overall the college could use some work; however, it is a great option for those in the community. Many of the school's staff could attend some customer service refresher classes. Often times the staff speak to students in an unprofessional tone and/or manner.
Tips for prospective students Do your own research about what class you have to take, where the classes are offered, and enroll in your classes early. Class fill up quickly and if you wait too long, you may have to drive to another campus or wait a semester for a particular class. The East Chicago campus is in an industrial environment, so if your major is automotive, culinary arts, mortuary science, welding, or carpentry this is the perfect campus for you. For healthcare majors, you will have to attend other campuses for labs and other core classes for your major.
Academic Rigor The teaching staff is hit or miss. You have some teachers who care about their students and are willing to help their student learn what is required for the course. Then again, there are some there just for a paycheck. Talk to other students about teachers most will be honest and inform you if the teacher is legit or not.
Dorm Life None.
Food and Dining There is a vending machine & microwave located in the student lounge and at the far south-end corner of the school.
What to do for fun Student Government Association often times have special trips like combining dinner with a comedy show or going to a sports outgoing. These are most times free and transportation is provided. There are speciality groups that have different events during the year as well.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus There are many students enrolled just to receive the refund, so you may start out with 25-30 people and end with under 10. It's not unusual at this campus, for the year I've been attending its happened every semester in every class. Located in industrial area. Machine shops located on the main floor of the school, so if you have a class on the first floor, there is a lot of shop noise that will impede your hearing ability in class.
Great for these types of students Automotive Tech, Carpentry, Mortuary Science, and welding. If you need to complete your prerequisites before applying for or transferring to another school this school is ideal.
Clubs and Activities There is a variety of clubs located at the school.
Greek Life None.
Campus Safety There are security cameras throughout the school, but a few security guard on campus.
