The ICC is an old standard (a number of volumes have been updated) that is really expensive. Some of the volumes are amazingly good, others are virtually useless to anyone but a technical scholar. Besides, many of the volumes are from a very critical perspective that can be tedious to read.

I would not recommend it to a college student. You can get much more bang for you buck elsewhere. When I was in the pastorate and had 20-35 commentaries on many books of the Bible, there were only a small number of ICC volumes in my library.
