Good reviews

Absolutely love this school, even the off-site campus! 100% smoke-free campus, high transfer rate, smart students, caring faculty (from the Financial Aid office to the professors). I have been to other junior colleges and I have never felt more safe and encouraged like I am at IVC.

Do not waste your time and money here. Counselors are of no help they do not have information on transferring to other schools, they want to keep you there longer. Professors here are some of the worst and don't even know how to use tech half the time even when it is an online class. Avoid this Campus if you can. I regret spending my money here.

The police are always looking to write you a ticket for anything. Some professors are good and some are horrid. It is a small campus with little to offer. Its competitors are much better at being student oriented.

very much a commuter school. go in for class and immediately leave. get out of here as fast as possible.
Overall 1.5
I regret coming here to the point where I switched schools that's closer and better. The teachers are terrible and so are the counselors. There's not much diversity going on and the police will give anyone a ticket for no reason. I would not recommend this school to anyone. I get more help at SCC.
