Tyler - 06/09/2020

Great school to attend that is low cost. The teachers are friendly and always willing to help. They are all usually easy to get ahold of. The class sizes are small so it’s easy to get help if you need and not feel overwhelmed. The admission process was easy, a lot less stressful than other colleges.

Dustan - 02/13/2020

Yes the class sizes are small but that is what makes it so great, it gives you more opportunity to learn and you have a better connection with your teachers. The amenities are amazing because we have great food on and off campus and the university is based in a very friendly community.

Saben - 10/03/2019

It is a great school that is not too expensive. Definitely a good option for undergraduate degrees that will then allow you to transfer to a graduate degree. I have no regrets enrolling and attending Vincennes University and have enjoyed my time here so far while gaining plenty of skills and knowledge.

  6. Here's your chance: Say anything about your college!

    What's unique is this is a small campus, most small campus don't have dorms but we do at Vincennes Unversity. What really makes this unique is we have smaller class at big Unversity its hard being in a big class. Where here we can get to know the professor and ask questions more easy. Then at a big college it's hard to interact with the teacher. For the people who don't have cars they have to carry their books all over a big campus which is a very hard struggle. Here we dont struggle to class.
