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!
I tried going to college immediately after high school (2008) but didn't know what I really wanted to do. After years of on-again, off-again classes, I was finally able to get my head in the game as an adult learner, and have only experienced success at this college. Planning on transferring to continue my education at a 4 year institution next year!
I started at Kirkwood in the Fall of 2019. The thought of starting at a large university terrified me but I still wanted to go to college. Kirkwood is not terribly and easier to find your way around than a large University. Along with the classes not being terribly large I was able to get help easily. Though the pandamic spring of 2020 all teachers were extremly flexible and nice as long as you communicate with them. The theatre and music department is by far my favorite place. Everyone is so acccepting and not to mention alot of scholarship opportunities. One thing I would've liked would be a little more guidance from the advisors. Since my degree wasnt offered through Kirkwood I was walking through blind not knowing what to take. They suggested certain classes but they werent sure if I actually needed it. Otherwise, Kirkwood is an amazing place to start your college journey and make friends.
