Ivy Tech Community College

I wish it were possible to give negative stars. I was enrolled with Ivy Tech for 3 terrible semesters. My first semester was all online and it was decent instruction with incredibly overpriced «access codes». The second semester I took a math class in the Carmel location. I felt so bad for the professor as he completely lost control of the class. A women behind me would regularly talk on her phone during class. The high point of that was when she took a call from Planned Parenthood on speaker to discuss her discharge problem. The last semester was a higher level math class and the professor was out of her mind. The first day of the semester she kicked ¼ of the class out for really no reason at all. There was one person who wouldn’t put their computer away and I can understand her kicking that person out. The next day she kicked another ¼ of the class out again. She was red and shaking and it looked like she was about to go postal. I dropped the class on the second day and never went back.
A few months later Ivy Tech took me to small claims court for a $ 1,500 bill that I was never told about. I was successful in court and won the case, but they refuse to release my transcripts. I have accepted this loss and moved on to a professional non community college. Save yourself time, money, and psychotic professors by looking elsewhere.

If you are returning adult student forget getting any services if you actually work during the day. Went to the Noblesville campus on a Friday afternoon to turn in a financial aid form (yeah it is not electronic). The lady behind the desk said that the express enrollment left for the day (this was around 3:30) and I should drive to the Lawrenceville campus. I told her that I did not have the time to do that and if I could leave the document with her. She stated that they could not do that. I stated that I normally cannot go to anywhere else do to that work during the day and could she put the document in the express enrollment’s mailbox. She just looks at me and states that she cannot do that and that I should visit the Lawrenceville campus or come back another day during the day. Again I stated I do not have the time to drive to Lawrenceville and I have to work during the days otherwise. Again she just states go to the Lawrenceville campus or come back another day during the day.
I called the Express Enrollment center and asked if I could fax over the documents and she said I could, however, they are not receiving all their faxes and I should visit one of their locations. Again I stated that I work during the day and it was near impossible for me to get one of their locations during the day. All they could say is you have to come in.
This school maybe in the 21^st century, but their offices still work in 1970’s technology. Why does this form need to be printed and cannot be digitally submitted?
When my kids start college in the next few years I will direct them away from Ivy Tech.

My husband and I attended the Evening in Paris event here earlier this year. Beautiful event space; good food. There is a restaurant/​bar on the penthouse level that is open for lunch and dinner on certain dates. Based on the quality of food that we had at the event, I’d definitely make reservations for the restaurant. You can’t beat the view either.

The culinary arts program was quite impressive. I recently got a tour of the facility and met the wonderful students, teachers/​chef, and faculty. The «classrooms» were quite impressive. It has all the latest appliances, top quality cookware, gadgets, etc that will help the students in their area of interest.
The building even has an onsite restaurant located on the penthouse level. It serves lunch and dinner on select days. It boasts a panoramic view of downtown Indy and the prices are unbeatable. The students themselves will serve you, cook the food, mix the drinks etc which is sort of like a training for their real world experience.
