I just finished my freshman year at Iowa Central. If you are an accounting/business major, you will enjoy your classes and learn a lot. However, there are way too many "auditorium style" classes and it is an issue. For example, in one of my auditorium classes, a student athlete (cough cough, football team) got in a screaming match with the professor. Following that incident were multiple other incidents in the classroom/auditorium, and the students faced no punishments despite the fact that it was a borderline unsafe situation. The campus is ok, and I think the "student life" people do a good job of trying to keep people engaged on campus but it can get boring. It is a VERY conservative environment. The food in the caf is not good, and the food workers are mostly very rude and condescending. If you do not have the financial or academic means for a 4-year school (or are just wanting a two year education), go to Iowa Central. If not, don't waste your time and just go to a four year.
Generally unsatisfied. I was in the nursing program and was eager to learn and participate. In my situation being neurodivergent, the instructors were less than supportive. If anything, I got eye rolls because of how I needed to learn and my personality traits. I was disappointed in their constant use of power-points and lack of activities/ application. I obtained my LPN but that was due to my perseverance and not their work ethic. They do not open time in their reasonable schedules for students to come and address questions/concerns. I rarely was emailed back within 72 hrs. Expect to be degraded and feel uncomfortable if situations arise where you don’t know something and need clarity. I highly do not recommend this school to students with learning disorders as they will not change their teaching style to accommodate you.
Iowa Central is a very diverse small community. Advisors and administration are always available and happy to help. It is also a smoke-free and alcohol-free campus as well as the fact that their residency halls are close to all education buildings. It is a small beautiful campus and it is close to many fun spots in town, such as Fort Frenzy, the bowling alley, the apple orchard, and so on. Students from all over the world come to join their prestigious award-winning athletics. They push you t get involved and learn about many different cultures. If you ever come across a problem you could any approach staff and will be listened to. Personally, if you're in athletics they will make sure that you are successful both in academics and in your sport. They also have many clubs including leadership positions such as the student senate. It is not so difficult to get involved and make new friends. Overall it's a beautiful campus and a great place to begin your college journey at a small cost.
