Ivy Tech Alumni. I would 100% recommend this school to anyone. All of my in-person professors were amazing, caring, and helpful. My online courses were a variety of eh, okay, and good. Some professors went above and beyond while others weren't super helpful. Great extracurricular programs were offered when I attended.

This is a fine school. Not everyone wants the expense and hassle of a four year degree. Some people prefer the convenience of a smaller two year school. They are open until 10PM during the semester, and the staff genuinely care. If you go there and do the work, you will be the better for it, AND save a ton of cash over the other local bigname place

Most of my Ivy Tech professors genuinely cared about my learning. I feel safe and very welcome at the Bloomington campus. Plenty of parking, and it's free! There are a number of student clubs, but you have to seek them out.
The food options aren't great, but I usually bring my own food. There are some fridges and microwaves for student use.

School offers few classes, and fewer classes online. Attended two years and only gotten one professor who remotely cared about the students, or even knew what they were doing. School is run more like a business than an educational institution. I've had philosophy professors that were preachers, and another religion professor who said racist things.

A very dull not student based campus. Meant for you to show up and leave.
Overall 1.6
This school is a piece of cake if you're in the liberal arts. If you're in the math and sciences, beware. The math department is run horribly here, and they change the curriculum virtually every year. Now they have it so NONE of your math courses transfer, on top of all of the ridiculous standards. If you're transferring, take math elsewhere.
Overall 1.8
Nice school. But, students easily take advantage of the instructors, and it is tolerated. As an adult working student and employer... I question the quality of their degrees.

Christine Wilhelm knows ZERO about the Spanish language. Do NOT take her course. You will "mis-learn Spanish in 101. Ivy Tech is a good college to get an education, but they need to be more critical about who they allow to be professors and who they do not.
