Really upset with the way they have handled my granddaughters housing. She was assigned to Shaw Hall then after getting settled she was forced to move to Wingate due to construction. She was told to be out several days before movers would be there to help. Down two flights of stairs and up three at Wingate. Still construction noise and vibrations at Wingate and no hot water for a few days and now no heat. Seems to be a lack of organization and concern for the students. Sure that many are away from home for the first time and these problems are making the adjustment difficult and I'm sure not helping with their studies. Seems that for $12,000/yr room and board the service could be much better.

School is a scam. It isn't accredited, so I'm still paying off my full loans for nothing. And they're trying to get an additional 1,000 from me and apparently, "They don't know why money was refunded." If they don't know, I won't be paying. Especially if your tuition is 18,250, but your charges are 21,500. Get out of here with that. And the English and Orientation classes I took were a joke. The former being a book club- which I can join for free at my local library, and the latter which had a push over professor. There's lots of things wrong with this school.

Honestly the school wasn't for me. To start off the administration is bad. They deal with situations without telling you which also they have no exact way of dealing with things no written form that tells you what happens if you get in trouble. They either charge you with a lot of money or you get kicked out. Also they have kept saying since 2014 that there will be a lot of new buildings when in fact there have been no updates. The freshmen building is awful. There is always trash everywhere and the floor are gross. Ones of the other buildings floods. There are few good things like the area and the people. Also they have a good bet tech and dental but that's about it. The other majors are not up to par. Also the Caf food. There are a lot of problems with the cafeteria at Mount Ida. The food package that they have is the lowest one you can get. The cheapest in other words. The food has hair in it sometimes and bugs. Also the forks and bowls are sometimes not clean. There have been protests by the students but they haven't done anything. Just wasn't for me. Hopefully my new college will give me a better experience.

I spent all four years here and the small-knit community was always there to help me with any problems I had, whether they be academics based, or sports based, Mount Ida has been there for me.

THis place is deadass a joke te teachers don’t care about your own education they don’t try to help you whatsoever, the teachers are basically telling the students there is no hope and they all think that grades determine how smart you are,that’s not how it works, the system in mount ida is the worst I have ever seen, if I could put no stars I would

Mount Ida has given me the opportunity to study abroad, be part of a community, and of course, has prepped me for my career. The graphic design program here is intense and the work is hard, but my graduation portfolio is filled with quality work to show employers. Like anywhere, the college isn't perfect but has recently been making tons of changes in administration and academics to improve the overall experience here. The campus is small, so its easy to get around, and its very pretty in the Spring. Because the school is so small, class sizes are ideal for getting one on one time with your professors, which I prefer because I can get direct feedback on my work. Another major plus is that the career services department is excellent, so finding an internship or a job is easy. For anyone coming in as a freshman, I'd also recommend looking into global connections and seeing if you can take a faculty-led travel course or study abroad for a semester. I've been on two trips and seen 3 countries while at Mount Ida and they were the best parts of my experience.

Tiny, unprofessional, profit-seeking college. Professors don't care about the students, administrative just want to have more ppl in order to get money. This college is a joke, students are not learning anything and you can smell weeds everywhere. Dorms are outdated, library has teeny tiny bit amounts of books, there's only one computer lab. If you just want to get a piece of paper saying you went to a random college, go ahead.
