This college needs to be reviewed by the state of Iowa.
to pass a class here you have to pay? is that how it works? gee every class I failed in. while certain students just seem to have an a for partying.

The students are allowed to have and use Any weapon they want on campus. The Security officer's do not know what Security means here. to them they see a party and join in.

Many older adults have been abused here by students. some have been injured. and staff when questioned only answer we are not responsible or sorry that is not information we can tell you.

you mean to tell me my own records are sealed from me?
The staff here has a IQ in the Negatives. I have never seen a security Guard check a door on a building for an Hour looking at it like it is not locked when it is?

Try talking to them and well, English must not be their first language, I dont honestly think they know any languages other then ERR and DAH!

when they send you an email it is half consistent with improper capitalization, grammar and etc. Kinda like how i am typing this. but much worse. Spelling is also a problem for this college. one email was so hard to read from the Security staff it was unreal. itlokedaxactlylikethas, no spaces, no proper grammar, spacing, just pure horrible.

Security is Insecure. very disturbing. students crawling around on the floors and ground physically because they are High and drunk.

Wow! nice Security. you can not talk to them. they are too busy either having fun, talking about last nights party or they are too busy doing something else..

It is no wonder the Campus View is party City! you can not even think of being a real student there.
SO many students here are attacked, yet when it is reported. instead of being helped you get attacked even more.

the staff just gives out your personal information. I found that out when my bank called to ask a few questions.

MY ss card number was also used.
I am not the only one that has been dealing with this. the annual crime report is a fake. the city of ankeny is crime filled. it is not possible that a campus would have no actual crimes. especially after being reported.

Housing on the same hand is like the City Dump.4, 5, 6 bags of garbage at the doors of apartments, stairs filled with junk. I paid $650/mo. for a puny little bedroom and a abnormal kitchen/living room.

DMACC is Junk, you are paying for a pretty outside, but the insides are pathetic. especially for a Library. the main campus with a tiny library. computer labs that fill up when you have an essay to do.From High School to High School. you did not graduate!

Super Brilliant
I was attacked on campus, everything destroyed by students, had things stolen. the security staff told me that I have to deal with the issue my self.

the crime report is a not accurate, and was fudged. this campus has a crime wave that they are trying to hide.

the staff report shows no reports of any crimes of any kind on campus. th info they have out has all 0's in each column.

you wont like it there in ankeny, the bowling alley is closed down, and everything else is all businesses. nothing fun there. the rec is often closed,Computer labs are often too full. Going to DMACC is a risk. and a waste of your Money and time!
