It was a decent experience definitely could have been better I come back for a second semester this fall which is exciting. But I would stay if your unsure about college or what you want to do this is a great first step and could help open many other doors for you down the road as you can continue your journey throughout college. But like I said love my time and the people I have met so far and I can't wait to see what else I can continue to receive as a I continue my journey at Iowa central!

Iowa Central Community College makes students as comfortable as they can while attending this school. All campus staff are readily available to help any students with anything they would need. Communication across the campus is very efficient. Campus security, housing, or maintenance is just one phone call away.

I had an overall great experience with the professors and fellow student, but I had troubles academically. While here the dorms themselves were not too but there was a very noticeable amount of drug use. The student on campus were very kind and the professors really went out of their way to help their student
