Campus Resources: There is a student center where you can study. There is also a library where you can study. There are a campus activities.
Campus Resources: The athletic centers are not for students, unless you pay I think last semester it was $20, the student center is ok, not too many people come there. the Library is a Cyber Library and the PC's are not updated at any time. and most of the time the blue screen of death shuts down the Pc's. which you loose all of you hard work.
Campus Resources: In the dorms the network can be slow and sometimes does not work. Printing is good on campus. If you live on campus you may want a laptop and printer. The speed is alright.
Student Body: The typical type of students just graduated from high school. There are a lot of religious people at our school and they are accepted just like everyone else.
Campus Quality: They try to do activities for the students as often as they can. Everyone is so nice.
Academic Experience: I am currently in the early childhood education program. I have found that my classes are worthwhile to me. I did have to take a few classes that I believed were a waste of time and they did in fact hurt my gpa. I wish to continue at Iowa Western this fall in the lab school on campus.
Academic Experience: A had a professor that was completely awful. I would never recommend his class to anyone. The class registration process was quick and easy if you know how to use the ROC site.*(4)
