20 Best 2 Year Nursing Programs In Des Moines, IA (2022 Updated)

I have had such a bipolar relationship with Indian Hills that I don't know where to even start. Good/Positive: Campus greenery is beautiful, Friendly and normally Understanding Teachers, "The Pit" as a social gathering place, Spent most of my time there,The Arts and Drama Department, Easy to Apply, Good Medical/Counseling. Bad/Negative: Living expenses are outrageous, especially for a small college that has not much for variety and choices. Food never changes and I barely ate there, so it was a waste of money for me. My dorm in Trustee was fine, nothing special but I was happy with the space. However I went through 3 different roommates prior to starting and after the first month my other was offered a better living space. The OneStop has often been portrayed as rude. Not only with my own experiences, but with other students as well. I am a friendly, nice, but cautious student. I am going to have QUESTIONS. I do not appreciate being talked down to. I am a first generation traditional student in my family, so a lot of the information isn't common knowledge for me. I understand a bad and busy day, but this happened on several occasions for several different type of questions/concerns. Now, Dropped Classes. I was a very ambitious student, so I got my AA done in one year. However, a class that was needed was apparently dropped. I was not notified about it until I asked the OneStop. They said I should have received an email, which I didn't. This class was suppose to be a simple science class since I am nothing close to a scientist, but I needed the credit. With one day prior to beginning of term, I had to shuffle through what was remaining since I was never notified in time. I was left with a horribly difficult class, ONLINE. Passed with a C, but hated every moment of it. There were other class situations I had with them, but this was the biggest deal to me.Luckily for me, I was involved with the arts department and had some very good teachers. I am not knocking the academics, just the people who are suppose to help and guide you to them. I have been disappointed several times and for following friends thinking about going to hills I warn them of all of this. I often say, "Stay at home or off campus if possible, save yourself the money. Worry about your classes and good luck asking for help. The teachers will be there for you, but I don't know about the rest of the institution."This college is probably excellent for students in the technology center and nursing, however for a future transfer student or gen eds, there is no guarantee that this college is for you.Caitlyn Millard

The presence of a college in a community is always a good one, with the purpose of educating and building the community. The newly elected president at Indian Hills is a good leader with good intentions. The leadership team however, is corrupt. As a result, staff members are subjected to mistreatment and unfair behavior and practices. Promotions are given based on personal preference, how well you are liked by those with the ability to make changes, and who you know. Team effort and support is also lacking when assigned duties need to be accomplished, which requires contribution from other staff members across campus. This is not reflective of all staff members however, as there are a few that do more than their fair share and are willing to work. The resouces and education available to students are comparable to other colleges in the area. After talking to community members, I have learned that the reputation of the college is not the best. Good leadership sets the foundation for a good business. Since this is lacking at Indian Hills, the college will not be able to maintain a positive image in and around the community, until and unless changes are made within the leadership team.Cherece Henry

This place is horrible. The dorms have cockroaches, a really bad infestation of cockroaches!! They have outdated elevators that should have been replaced years ago, they are just now replacing one of them. They would get stuck, open with no elevator in which someone could have been severely injured, one even caught on fire. Then now two of which I have seen of the washing machines are broken so some of us cannot do our laundry. The bathrooms are rather filthy. The parking lots need repairs badly. I have been treated poorly by numerous people including a professor who forced me and a friend to drop out of her class. That professor also called my friend a distraction because he is bisexual. The food in the cafeteria isn't the best. I honestly find this place a waste of time and money. It's not even worthy of being called a college.Ady Webb

Nice buildings, TERRIBLE instructors, especially in their medical-focused science programs. Instructors changing assignments, deleting submitted work, and failing entire sections of classes.. Instructors that play the "gotcha" game, attempting to fail and trick you on material and assignments, as opposed to trying to teach. Have professors ripping material directly from other programs and having you do it for assignments (other universities) that still has other universities logos all over it. Also, you're on your own, admin will not respond / is not on your side. I would spend my money and time elsewhere if AT ALL possible. Had an instructor claim they have the "best program in the state" and then fail to respond by email for about 3 months, and had to get Dean involved. Feels like I'm interacting with high school students for professors. I am from out of state and it turns out Iowa has basically no resources regarding escalating issues with professors – what they say goes and that's it, regardless of how inappropriate or unproductive. DO NOT trust your education to this program and these instructors.Rone Parent

Kirkwood is a fantastic school with high level talent. The college seems to view itself as a service to paying customers (a bafflingly rare delight), and offers courses that inspire good work and deep thinking. Kirkwood *far* exceeds any other educational institution I've attended. The admission process is transparent, the courses you're paying for are clearly outlined, the requirements of the course are made plain at the start of the term… man. I can't say enough nice things. And you know what? I never once had anyone correct me to say "Call me 'Doctor' ". That may not mean much to you, but it meant a hell of a lot to me. Do yourself a favor and go here for your first two years with an eye to transfer on, should that be your aim. You're not just getting more for your money. You're flat out getting more.Claiming Light

Least understanding faculty. Called 6 hours after my deadline to cancel a test that I paid $95 dollars to take. The program director for CE was rude and condescending stating that she would not refund my exam because I was simply 6 hours past the 24 hour deadline. This school is clearly just out to rob people of their money and it’s sickening. I’ve had nothing but a bad experience and it’s crazy to me because at one point I was so excited to attend. Hope they’re happy turning a profit once again whether big or small.Dreya Bauldry

I was charged 600 dollars because they weren't able to post the required material for for a class, until the day before the class was suppose to start. When talking to them on the phone, it was like I was talking to a incoherent baboon, one second they say I'm talking to the wrong office. Asked to get transferred to the right office, then hear them say this is the right office. If you have a stereotype of an illiterate Iowans, then this place fits it like a glove. Don't waste your time, go to a real community college, not some redheaded step child who's parents are inbred framers. Can't emphasis how bad the administration is.Steven Bell

Always a good experience at the dental hygienist school. We are treated well, they are practicing all safety measures to deal with Covid 19. Our care is outstanding, with students doing an excellent job explaining what they are doing and completing the exam, cleanings, and x-rays as neededStephen Vick

Came to the school for a conference. It was very comfortable, spacious, and while there was a ton of construction which made finding the place challenging. There was lots of parking, but we were also here at 7am on a weekend. I was surprised there were minimal electrical plugs in the classroom but for our purpose that wasn’t a big problem.Big Traveler

Woodlands Creek is an amazing place! When looking for assisted living for my mother after her stroke, we found that we were very impressed with everything they could provide for her. The apartments are beautiful, the activities are awesome, the food is yummy (we've had several opportunities to sample and enjoy), and the pricing is very reasonable. There are so many things that make Woodlands Creek such a great place, but what impressed us the most was the staff. We have been overwhelmed by their love and support, not only for my mom, but all of us as well. They truly are our family. Words cannot express just how amazing they all are! They have such an exceptional, longstanding staff that continues to amaze us! We are so very blessed to have each and every one of them care for my mom! She is thriving! We are so grateful to them all! Thank you will never be enough!!Diana Weyer

Woodlands is a Very Nice place to live. When we took the tour we were impressed by a number of things, Brightness of building and cleanliness,friendliness of all we met, all the "EXTRAS',the food .My apartment was ready to move in top to bottom. All the residents and staff are so helpful and friendly – Have a question – Just Ask. If that person doesn't know they will find out for you. Our food her is Very good- – Chef Brian does a great job and our servers do an excellent job.Woodlands is a Family!! It is a GREAT PLACE to Live!Norma Zubradt

My parents have lived at Woodlands over six years and every time I come for a visit, they mention (usually multiple times!) how much they love it and what a great decision it was to move there. The staff show such affection and respect for the residents and are always eager to make sure they/we have what they need. The food is fantastic – always a favorite part of my visits and the facilities are lovely. I highly recommend it for those considering a graduated care residential community.Kathy Reschke

You will feel like family when you first enter OWL. The staff's care is above and beyond what I've ever experienced in other places throughout my illness. I've spent time in both outpatient and inpatient care. The therapists are so creative with rehab activities, I've been able to fish indoors and outdoors. They will find just the right things to help you physically and mentally. Bonus…the food is way above average!!!Louie Anderson

I was a patient served due to a brain injury after being thrown from a motorcycle. The On With Life staff is amazing, from therapist, kitchen staff, housekeeping, office staff, nursing staff & nursing aids. No complaints on my whole visit, they took such good care of me, I didn't know if I really wanted to go home. I was very fortunate to be cared for by On With Life, Thanks So Much, Tammi GreerTammi Greer

My 27 year old grandson had a stroke in December. He was at mercy hospital then mercy rehab then on to on with life in January. Graduated April 4th from there and is now going to outpatient therapy there. All of the people there are so good with all who go there.Linda Wilson

The front desk staff are all amazing. There also are many other staff members including Doctors, nurses and many others that are more than just great they have provided amazing care for me and I'm sure they would for you and yours. They also have a homeless outreach staffed with fine employees. Check it out.Jordan Eckermann

The staff are very accommodating especially the back office staff Melissa and the other girls were all nice help me a lot to set up my benefits regain when I could they also offer covid test clothing bus passes seems to be a great organization and they also have medical and dental servicesDavos777

Very friendly, usually. My main issue is that no one ever answers the phone. I call and am automatically put on hold EVERY TIME and have waiting as long as 30 minutes to get a live person to schedule an appointment etc.Sarah Reynolds

Thank goodness, I went to this campus over Iowa State University because I wasn't too sure which was better for doing my automotive classes, this or at Ames. But now, here I am doing my auto classes and experience in ease, it's convenient in terms of price and the majors I have, now that I did the smart thing, and kept the money in my pockets, I will lean forward towards the next 2 years, and ensure I get the education I need. Thanks again, DMACC. For changing my mind about big university and then leave, and going to you first then onto the big things. ☺☺🤗🤗🤗hatchcracker_570

Being a DMACC Commercial Horticulture grad in the mid80's changed my life. Work-study w/Jim Mason in the early years of Country Landscapes also put me in a position to be a Iowa Certified Nurseryman @I.S.U. for 25+ years. If I was a parent w/new student in any of the horticulture programs I would be thankful knowing he/she had the best there is as department head. He will change your life as well.Jim Schleier

I guess someone doesn’t want do there job so they yelled at a woman who try to explain them what been happening to her getting different answers each times she calls instead of getting help she got yelled at and honged up dear student Aid is that what we call great customer service that so messed up I was watching it on tiktok try to peace it together will I know where not to go to school nowIslam Slaha

I moved my mom out of Edencrest Beaverdale on July 1. I moved all essential personal items, leaving only large furniture items behind. According to Edencrest administration, I had until the end of July to move my mom’s furniture out of her room. On July 9, I returned with help to move furniture. I was astonished when I walked into the room and it was empty. All of my mom’s furniture was gone. When I asked staff, they said it was all moved and most of it was taken to the garbage. My daughter was told staff members were allowed to take what they wanted, prior to trashing possessions. My daughter was told by Nick Lensch (Regional director of sales & operations ; Jaybird Senior living) we would be compensated for all possessions that were destroyed. I have been e-mailing, and trying to work with Nick for more than two months to rectify the situation. There has been no progress made and little to no communication. 10-07-2022. Update After nearly 3 months a check was issued for reimbursement. Thanks for the help of a lawyer and the Better Business Bureau .Pamela Ackerson

Management cares more about their promotions and bottom line than the residents. Went to lockdown (somewhat understandable) without notice, and refused access to the family caregiver. When we wanted to remove the resindent they brought him out without a jacket or any personal belongings, had to battle to get the basics out of his room. Don't trust this company with your loved ones, they are not the priority. After 3 months of isolation we could see my father in law failing. Staff suggested he had a nasal infection. My wife and her sister took action, had him taken to the hospital, and he died from Covid-19 only a few days later. There was no info from the management about his decline, and even what seemed like resistance to having him seen. The only reason my wife noticed the decline was a visit through a window. Do not trust this management team with your loved ones.Bob Branden

The staff does a fine job with the residents and would get 5 stars. Management only cares about the money. We were charged $14348.47 for 4 weeks of care from Aug 7 to Sept 7 and only received a refund of $1719.54. Policy states a refund in 30 days but took numerous emails and calls and finally after 112 days we got this paltry refund. There is a $2500 fee non-refundable after the resident leaves to get the room ready. This is fine but the person forgot to apply the $200 deposit we paid towards this fee. Then didn't take it off next bill either. If you like to part with your money, this is the place to go. Communication from management is non existant. Got a call from corporate for a survey a week after our uncle had passed away at Edencrest asking why he moved out.Todd Lori Haack

I am a former student of Kaplan University, Des Moines. I received an AAS for Medical Assisting and then went on to study for my BS in Healthcare Administration. At this time I have only 7 courses left before completing my degree. My experience during my Medical Assisting program was not easy but well worth it. I was not a traditional student; I had kids, 2 jobs at times and even a sick mother. Sounds like everyone else's story, huh? Well that's the thing, it was everyone's story, and I had to choose to change my story and graduate so that I would be able to give my children an opportunity of a better life. So while it wasn't an easy road, I was able to have two GREAT instructors that supported and encouraged me and my other classmates to finish and become members of a great occupation. So to Cheryl DeBartolo and Emily Noel, I say THANK YOU! Both of you were great in aiding me to complete my goal. My journey with the BS in Healthcare Administration has not been as great. I have had to stop and restart a few times due to over extending myself with work and obligations of being a mother, nothing new to any of us. Sometimes we are just not ready to focus on ourselves to gain what is needed to be successful. With that being said, the last time that I was enrolled in 2013 I was ready to finish. I knew that in 1 year I would be a graduate and that I was ready to make it happen. The course catalog at the time required that 750 points out of 1000 be obtained for credit for the course. I obtained 742 in one class and 718 in the other. So of course, I failed the courses. Only to find out that within a few months of me failing, Kaplan decided to change the policies and grant a passing score of 600 out of 1000 to the students. Obviously there were a lot more students failing the programs and retention must have become a huge issue. I understand that there are policies to be followed, but to make a change like this and not allow the ones that were most affected by it a chance to recover these credits is completely ridiculous. Maybe others didn't speak up, maybe others could afford to retake the classes, but that is not my story. This change made a huge impact in when and if I will ever be able to finish my degree. Do I take ownership for my part, oh yes I do. Every day I face the fact of how a few extra points or maybe a few extra minutes on an assignment might of changed everything. However, I will also ask Kaplan to accept ownership in their decision to change the policy and not grant an exclusion for those that were within the new guidelines. Give those credits back to the students and allow them to move on. This has affected GPA's and FA ability and Scholarship opportunities for many. I continue to look for ways to fund my degree through trying to save and look for scholarships and grants, but I have yet to be successful. I am determined to finish my degree, Kaplan will you help me? All I am asking for is the recovery of the credits that were lost and the opportunity to allow those credits back into my degree program so that I can finish in the amount of time agreed upon when I last attended.Francess Hawkins

This week is Veterans week, and as a Veteran I thought I would share how Kaplan has helped me. I served on active duty for over 10 years as a Hospital Corpsman in the US Navy. When I received my honorable discharge, I found myself in unfamiliar territory…no license, no security….all of my experience in medicine and I couldn’t even find work as a CNA in long term care, I was unqualified. I soon went to school at the local community college, but found long wait times and several hoops to jump through in order to get my nursing degree. Thankfully after 2 semesters I saw a commercial for Kaplan and decided to check it out. The enrollment staff was incredible and I soon found myself in the ADN program, finally on my way to get my RN. Throughout the ADN program, the educators/professors were amazing and actually cared about my success. As a result I found myself not only completing the program but excelling, even finishing with summa cum laude honors! I couldn’t stop there and immediately enrolled in Kaplan’s ‘RN to BSN’ program. With this program I often found myself feeling comfortable with my employment as a RN, and thought about quitting several times. However the DON from my ADN program Mylissa Belieu kept following up with me, pushing me to keep going (even though she didn’t have too) and with her support I finished my BSN in May of this year. Today, I start my next journey at Kaplan with my Master’s program in hopes to one day fulfill my dream of becoming a practitioner. With the family I have gained at Kaplan, I have no doubt that I once again will succeed! So as many people thank me this week, I take this time to thank Kaplan and everyone involved for helping this veteran find a home, outside of military life!gary darr

I went to Kaplan and excelled. I was so happy to be involved with professors who seemed to care about my progress and accomplishments. I had issues with some classes and I wrote Kaci (now the president of Kaplan) an email explaining the situation and my frustration. She never responded back and when confronted she waved me aside because she doesn't care about the students or if they stay at Kaplan. This place is a business and only wants your money. I was told to get where I want, I would need a degree. Come to find out, employers cannot discriminate against you for not having a college degree. Clearly to become a teacher, nurse etc. you would need the proper schooling. However, the business degree is generic and a waste of time and money. The only thing Kaplan did for me was put me in debt $40,000. These people will pass you because it's a diploma mill. Not saying students that go here are not smart, but if you go there or are planning to go there, know that you don't need to do much to get a diploma. Thanks Kaplan for wasting my time and money. I like how they say "Kaplan University cannot guarantee employment or career advancement." They guaranteed it when I attended, but look at those graduates and see where they're at now. Making the same amount of money they were prior to Kaplan at a nowhere job. I understand that people make their own choices, but Kaplan did nothing to help us grow.Kate Di Santis

My grandmother was there a week before we removed her. She has dementia and arthritis making her daily life difficult. In the week she was there they did not changed her sheets, clean her room, give her a bath, or give her half of the instructed medication she requires for daily life. I have never been so mortified by the behavior of the "nurses". It took me 10 minutes standing at the office area before i finally had to loudly ask if anyone was willing to help or if i needed to go somewhere else. They didn't keep the dry erase board in her room updated showing her the correct day of the week and current nurse (which for someone that can barely remember where she is, that is incredibly important!). There is no call button for a nurse so she would need to scream until someone decides to check on her, God forbid there be an emergency. I have been in several assisted living and rehab facilities between both sets of grandparents and I have never been so mortified by the absolute neglect of a persons basic needs. If you are fully mobile and prefer to be ignored then this place is great for you. If you care about yourself or your loved one you will avoid this place at all costs. Its an absolute shame that this behavior is allowed.emily

From my experience as a traveling CNA this is definitely one of the BEST facilities that I have worked in. Wesley Acres is clean, stocked with needed supplies, and the staff is helpful. I look forward to working more shifts here. 🙂 It is unfortunate when families have a negative experience dealing with staff, or certain circumstances, but trust me when I say it could be worse… A LOT WORSE!Lynzi

Fantastic place with all levels of care. Beautiful gardens and most of all exceptional care. Only places they fall short is Austin Center needs two aides over night and more activity taylored to them and the memory unit. They need a couple healthy non-processed food choices and Whole Food and not so much fried foods.Judy Archer Brucker

I have been there 2 years and i would recommend it to anyone.The people who work here are the kindest most caring people you will ever find. I enjoy the time i spend with participants and staff. It has helped with my health issues also. The staff make it so enjoyable i look forward to the time i spend there. I have made many friends and enjoy visiting with them. The clinic doctors and nurses are caring wonderful people.They take good care of us.Carol Gillette

Fantastic! Small campus with small class sizes and helpful advisors and instructors. Don't be afraid to ask questions, because you will be given a happy and thorough answer.M M

Had a great college experience when I went to DMACC. I took a blend of mostly online classes with a few in the classroom. Anyone looking for a smaller campus but the functions of a larger one, DMACC is the place. Great facility and faculty.Seth McCoy

Charged for classes I never attended with no resolution but they were willing to ding my credit when I refused payment. Thieves, sharks in business suits.Please be Reasonable

Quality educational institution, addressing the needs of the individual. Quiet campus, great location, and lots of activities. SWCC administrative staff, as well as, their educational professionals are driven to provide the best environment to prepare students for the future.iksortso

My instructor modelled a positive, professional attitude to treat geriatric patients with. My text book had been illustrative.. After many years of graduating from Southwestern Community College, I am glad they prepared me for being a Geriatric CNA. (Certified Nurses Aide)Yoland Porter

Went in to the Adult and Continued Learning office to take my CASAS assessment so I can start CNA classes. They were very helpful. We had some issues but they worked hard to get it straightened out so i was able to take the assessment.Hannah Hyde

Simpson College is a liberal arts institution. My kid goes to this school, and really loves it! It has small course sizes and student-to-teacher ratios. Simpson has some top notch scholars with Ivy league education from schools such as Harvard and Stanford. Simpson is located in Indianola, Iowa (which admittedly lacks diversity and culture). Yet, it is a growing city and they are at least "open" to the idea of differing thoughts and cultures. The college is somewhat expensive being of such small stature, but they are overly generous with scholarship opportunities. Simpson promotes their undergraduate research programs as highly competitive. I don't know the actual level of research and societal contributions they are able to make since they are a private institution (aka, lack of incoming public research dollars). However, Simpson has outstanding academic programs. We were sold on Simpson due to our kid's recruiter, named Dave. He's undoubtedly one of the best resources at Simpson. I would highly recommend any student to at least take a campus visit.RACC J

Simpson College has the worst case of faculty diversity issues! Please be mindful of the environment and services available to minority students on campus. Simpson College subjects students to unjust actions and denies their rights. The institution is financially unstable. Professors at Simpson, provide students with assistance and support their academic goals! Unfortunately, institutional politics at Simpson College will leave a negative lasting impression. Students and the Carver legacy are marketing tools. Minorities do not have the same support as other students on campus! Simpson must resolve all diversity issues, treat every student the same and remove racial bias.Professors ONLY

Great campus and friendly staff. However if you're going to simpson to play sports at the next level, you might want to look else where. They over recruit (its a money thing) and typically carry triple the roster size than most D3 sports programs. The coaches usually choose their starters from locals and students from out of town are treated accordingly. NO direct flights to Des Moines, and Indianola is very difficult to get to in a timely manner. Overall the admin staff treated us right but to be honest indianola is still still stuck in the 60's as far race relations go.chris velasquez

I intensely regret attending this college. The Game Design program I was drawn by turned out to be a swindle, cobbled together from unrelated, pre-existing courses. And those courses were little more than shallow explorations of ideas that anyone with an Iowan high school degree will have consumed and spat out long before being asked for thousands of dollars. In those instances where I did learn something new, it would (with alarming regularity) come in the form of a link to a YouTube video I could have readily found on my own. Many professors are regularly unprofessional, rude, menacing and/or flatly combative (though my experience with this sort of behavior was limited to the faculty in the English department). And the courses you pay for may not be the ones you end up with. In one instance, I was given an A for a class and told not to continue to come, when the professor decided that some of us should simply be moved to a different, internet based, turn-key course. In another instance, the class was informed that the course's name and subject matter were due for a change in the coming year, and that the course we were attending would instead teach to that new (and unrelated) material. The library is stocked with ancient, irrelevant books. The staff aren't required to use the school's provided grading and assignment system. I advise anyone reading this to turn away. Consider the near 100% acceptance rate as the warning I should have heeded- and that you still have time to do. If my experience is any indication, Grand View should only be mentioned in the same breath as Trump University, and in no other instance.Claiming Light

Completely my home away from home. Grand View is outstanding for adults who desire to go back to school. The professors are personable, understanding, and more than accommodating. I’ve had to bring my toddler to class with me on several occasions without so much as a second glance from instructors! My advisor is amazingly helpful and wants all of his advisees to succeed. I love the small class sizes and the professor to student ratio is spot on! Even in classes where I have struggled, I was given the extra help I needed because I feel the priority of the staff is having their students do well! I am a veteran and processing my education benefits has always been effortless. There are so many clubs, organizations, and extracurricular activities, students should have no problem finding their niche and becoming comfortable. Reading the few negative reviews sounds more like a reflection of the type of student attending the institution; not the school itself!Heather Jackson

There is a reason the acceptance rate is at 98%. Facilities are outdated. Freshman dorms are absolutely terrible and always had the smell of weed. They have a weight room area, but the weights are trashed and the space is extremely small. The cafetaria is okay the first week and then becomes the same stuff everyday, it is practically non existent on the weekend, the food also has no quality, basically tasted as if it was microwaved or drowned in grease. If you are looking to play a sport the lower level coaches are usually a joke and don't have any business coaching as discussed frequently within the teams. The class sizes are small and the professors are pretty good though. Not a very good atmosphere to be around.Luke Rincker

I completed the LPN program several years ago as an older adult. I was impressed with the caring attitude of the instructors and their sincere desire to see each student succeed. Kudos to the Learning Center instructors for their willing helpfulness and extreme patience in assisting me to understand and pass a required math course. I couldn't have done it without them.Sarah Schiermeyer

The admission process was excellent! I needed to take my organic and biochemistry course and Ben Chestnut was an amazing advisor. He knew exactly what I needed and guided me. He was always available to help and responded promptly to my emails. I am almost done with my course and I had a great experience at this school.Ogo Okeke

My friends who have attended this college or are currently attending have good things to say about it. The newer buildings are nice inside and out. The main building could stand for an update. The times I've been there were all good and the classes I taken were informative and had great instructors.Shelbz

Son goes to this college, second yr in. He is on the basketball team. Made some great friends. The area is not that big, however everything (restaurants, shopping etc) is off the main drag. Only 2 hrs away from Quad Cities, 1hr from Cedar Rapids and 45 min from Des Moines.Rhonda Vesey

I went to school here and graduated from here onto Simpson College. Great place. Caring professors. Many opportunities to network. Very clean campus. Always a spot for free parking. People only rated this college negatively because they probably aren't very good students either. I know so many great people went to school here and graduate onto doing something amazing. Also provides a lot of jobs for students!Uomi

At the moment, DMACC is not operating as should be. I live just so close. Security is functioning regularly, but offices are closed to the general public as far as I am concerned. No in-person services now. But it's a cool place to study or browse using free wifi on campus grounds. I love the peace and silence I usually experience when here… DMACC, Iowa, USAEmmanuel Robertson
