Ivy Tech Community College-Central Indiana

They will repeatedly lie to you during enrollment. Nobody has any answers for you once you are enrolled. They just redirect you to someone else who redirects you to someone else until you hit a dead link and have to start over. Their courses take far more time than they advertise. In Math 136 they claim 12 hours a week total. The homework and quizzes alone will run you 24 hours. Studying is on top of that. Yet, they seem confused why the dropout rate js so high. Expect them to try to push you into... Read More an accelerated program you can't possibly do with a decent GPA because they make more money that way. They are the only option for poor people to even maybe be able to afford college. So they are just milking the poor for money using their hope of a better life as a carrot. It's predatory and evil.

I am thankful for Ivy Tech simply because it is cheap. It was a nightmare trying to apply and register for my classes, since I could not figure out the website and my academic advisor was not helpful. I have had struggles with several of my teachers, and the education is decent but not wonderful. Additionally, I had a teacher tell me that a religious document I used in a reflection paper was not a scientific or historic document, although it is. She also told me that I could not include my beliefs... Read More in a paper that reflected on my own personal thoughts on a video assignment. I am also nervous in talking about my beliefs because they are typically different from the majority of the teachers and students. I am terrified to say anything different, although Ivy Tech says that they promote diversity and differences. If this mentality to shut down beliefs that contradict one's own continues, then free speech will be entirely gone from not only this campus, but others across the country.

I was taking a course online over the summer. I am a usual student of Purdue University West Lafayette, and was expected to at least have my basic needs met by this course. After trying to contact multiple people over a course of weeks about my late registration I was finally given contact and allowed in. After that, when having a problem using the code that was provided to me by my professor and clearly stating I had read the syllabus and understood what was supposed to happen but it wasn't working-... Read More he proceeded to just change the order of the sentences that was stated in the syllabus. Wasn't impressed at all but the last straw came when without warning I was removed from the class because my payment didn't go through. I had received no warning about this issue until the day I was booted out of the class. Never think that this program will even meet your basic needs. Don't waste your money, time or frustration.
