Kirkwood Community College as a ton of different opportunities for every student out there. There is a wide variety of majors, classes, and clubs available. The college also has a lot of helpful resources for students to utilize if they need help, be it for mental health, academics, finances, and so on. They even referred me to a sexual assault advocate when I needed one. I have been seeing the same counselor since my first year there, and she has been a great help to me and my mental health. There aren't dorms, but they do have off-campus apartments right by Kirkwood for students to live in. The only problem with it is that some apartments don't have the kindest management. Overall, I highly recommend attending Kirkwood Community College!
Kirkwood has a very welcoming campus! Every staff member is always willing to help and take time to figure out what works best for you. There are many options, such as the writing center or different tutoring choices, that are always available for students to use. All of my professors have been very kind and helpful, they are always willing to meet one on one. Kirkwood also has many different opportunities to get involved on and off campus, which is nice because it keeps campus fun and you involved in the community!
Kirkwood has amazing professors! Each took time over the first couple weeks to learn everyone’s names. I think the professors care about their students success and content they are providing. A normal class period is 55 minutes which provides enough time to complete a lecture and not too much time where students may zone out. I wish Kirkwood offered more ways for students to get to know other students at this community college. I succeeded through my academics but felt I didn’t have very many college friends that I was making through Kirkwood. I think it’s a step out of college and affordable. A great way to start your freshman year of college straight out of high school or to even come back when you are older.
