Update: All is figured out and Sierra Olsen has been super helpful. They are allowing me to finish my major.
I had a great and helpful adviser in Marshalltown. I'm giving two stars due to trying to finish my business administration degree after graduating with my Management degree but was told that they just got rid of that degree. I kind of feel like I got robbed now that I am stuck with the student loans for paying for classes that I won't receive a degree in, along with working full time. So the hard work and money I put into that degree has been wasted. So I would pick a really common degree (which, you would think business administration would be one). Otherwise, teachers and advisers were amazing. My adviser was Lynne in Marshalltown, I would highly recommend. Super quick response and helpful in every way,

Treated horribly. Told me the tuition was much lower than it actually ended up being. Harassed me constantly about loans while attending. They prey on poor community schools with false promises.

Visited with our son in October 2020. A D-III school. The campus is not large. The most well kept and picturesque campus I have ever seen and its located in a robust smaller Iowa town. Everyone we spoke with was genuine. Students seem to come first, not research. I hope my son chooses this school.

I m giving three stars all because the people at international students office (10 Stars to Carol but she left around 2015). They were really helpful and keep trying to hold great events/trips for us. School was boring, major was limited, food was a meh.
Hugh kudos to Prof. Andrea Frantz, she was one of the coolest Professor I have ever met in my academic life. Strongly recommended if you learn anything related to digital media.

This place is awful. I have never been to such a horrible, boring institution.

I do not recommend Emilee coomes as an adviser she drags her feet feet and is hard to get ahold of if you have her for an advisor I'm sorry try to request a new one ASAP
