The professors truly care about their students. It is in a small town, but I have never been around more freindly people!!! The surroundling area is beautiful -- especially in the fall and the sring.

Upper Iowa is the place to be if you are studying the field of biology or conservation management. The science program and building is amazing with great professors and advisors. Overall the school is run by the athletic programs (which are not good) Small town oriented and you can have great relationships with friends and even professors.

Upper Iowa Online is a TOTAL JOKE. Instructors are NOT accountable for their own mistakes. There are TONS of programming errors within the website. If there's an error with your browser, don't expect instructors to care. They will have no problem giving you zeros on assignments. Don't expect your syllabus to match up with your requirements.

I am an online student, so most of the ratings don't apply. This program is a joke. Many of the professors are worthless. Math courses are extremely difficult. 5 tests in eight weeks that I have to leave work early to go and take at a proctored center. Fail 1 and you fail the course. I did not sign up for this, but I am stuck.

There's nothing to do, the food is bad, and it is soooo boring here.

This facility is considered one of the most military friendly places well I find that a complete lie when I attended this place I had an instructor call one of his students incompetent and useless I reported this and was told by the school that I am a liar when I had proof I would not waste my time here especially if you are in the military

They lie to you about what classes you need in order to get you to spend more money. The education is not worth the price for sure! I am only in this to get my social work license I guess you got to do what you got to do

Look at the comments submitted this year- the school has really taken a nose dive. The school wants a fortune and the return on investment can hardly be justified. Honestly, go to a school that can support your goals and provide you with the opportunities you deserve. This school will not do that for you. I am transfering.
