    What I like about Indian Hills Community College is that they always give me the confidence to ask about opportunities to continue my education no matter what situation I'm going through, I also like that I have the freedom to express for example I'm starting a club for Latinos and I've never been banned instead Indian Hills helped me not to give up also they have always given me the opportunity to let me know about scholarships, that is why I like my college!

    I wasn't sure what to expect when moving to Ottumwa, and going to Indian Hills, but it was one of the best decisions I have made! I was blown away by learning how much this school actually offers from a large variety of programs, a beautiful and resourceful campus, and plenty of one-on-one time with instructors due to small class sizes.
    Attending Indian Hills is one of the best choices I've made in my academic career! The teachers and staff are all so willing to help you discover what it is you want to do with your life. The Bennett Student Services center is a great resource to find your way through college and it's finances. The campus is beautiful and the environment is so welcoming.
