申请点评
- Overall Experience: Ivc has made me realize that I can do it and I will do it! They want you to succeed and won't easily give up on you.
- Academic Experience: It is magnificent. I am studying psychology and there is a psychology club and many extra sessions and presentations for those who want to be successful in this area. There are many options to advance. Absolutely never there is a moment that someone should complain not understanding something or not getting any support, because this school has this major refined almost to perfection.
- Academic Experience: Since studying psychology I can only speak/write on behalf of this major. The professors I have met that teach this subject have shown great interest in their subject, and want to make their students feel the same way about it without forcing it on them. Curriculums are always displayed and explained very well and aren't hard to understand. Registration is a breeze.
- Campus Resources: Ah mentioned before, I am a mother of two very young kids. And sometimes the babysitter just doesn't show up, is sick, etc. except for the financial aid department, everyone has been very sweet when I had to bring my kids. Professionally everyone is doing a fabulous job. *(3)
