申请点评

• Campus Quality: I feel like Kirkwood is small enough you get to know a ton of people in a short amount of time. In a few short months we're like a big community that's always lived together. It's awesome!
• Academic Experience: It was a lot when I had 12-14 hours class times, but I got through it and I am now into the Health Information Technology Program and my general education classes are out of the way. I just finished my first clinical and thoroughly enjoyed it and it taught me so much about my chosen field of HIT.
• Campus Resources: The resources that Kirkwood gives you are enormous and yours for the taking. Any student that does not take advantage of the resources would be at a great disadvantage.
• Campus Resources: The speed is on the slower side, but other than that, the computers work well and they printers as well, they give us an allowance of $30.00 for printing at five cents per paper, so any student can have up to 600 pages printed off for free.
• Campus Resources: There are so many resources at Kirkwood, I still haven't used them all. The library and computer lab is my most used resource, you can print homework, study quietly, and research the online databases and bookshelves for an upcoming paper. There is also a writing and tutoring center where you can go to receive help on practically any assignment. Every Tuesday and Thursday for one hour a day while the teachers have meetings Kirkwood set up several intermural activities and group activities to join or maybe you can just grab a bite to eat. Many other resources including: a bank, Student Services, and Eaglenest.
• Campus Resources: There is always computer access somewhere on campus. I've never had the network crash on me, poor speed, and I've always had wireless access. The printers are another great resource, you are given about $30 a semester for printing and each page is normally 5 cents so you can print about 600 pages a semester with no charge to you.*(4)
