The professors are there to educate and lead students to become knowledgable in their course. This school is extremely affordable, and helpful in navigating the many tasks presented as being a college student and a dual enrollment student, as I have experienced. Overall, a well-rounded and schools with a great education system for all respective ages.

Hailee - 10/22/2020

IRSC is a very good school for what was, until recent years, a community college. There are many good and patient teachers who you'll love and only a few who will cause problems. The school is known for its incredible swim team but the sports aren't too popular outside of the athlete's attention. Housing is not often used but it is available for students.

Tanesha - 06/30/2020

Great school! Been there since dual enrollment. Teacher are friendly and helpful.

  17. What is the stereotype of students at your school? Is this stereotype accurate?

    Personally I don't notice any sort of Stereotype that involves all students at Indian River State college, but allot of other non-IRSC students believe that only students that cant get into a University and want to stay in the treasure coast attend Indian Rover State College. But that isn't an accurate statement. I chose to attend Indian River State college because it is the 4th most affordable college in the country. I wanted to take a more economical approach too furthering my education, doing as much as possible to stay out of debt. And that is what so many other students strive for as well with all the opportunities given to them at Indian River State college.
