Lane college is a family community and even as a upcoming freshman the upper classmen look out for me. Also as a football player they have a lot of respect for you, the teachers are very understand and will help you they best way they can and even though Lane college isn't the biggest school they still welcome you with open arms

Katie - 01/13/2020

I Think Lane is a great school, it doesn't have much to offer but it can be great as long as the students are great along with it.

Christian - 05/28/2019

Lane college as a whole don’t have a lot of school spirit. There are those times were I feel Lane can do better as a whole meaning more activities on campus. Towards group objectives nobody gets together to do or support anyone unless it’s for a traditional thing, basketball,football,etc. far as learning wise I think they can do a little better with the professors they have. I know a couple students don’t want to learn but as a professor you are to encourage their learning. Not make them believe they won’t make it. More on campus fun things to do, dance groups, voice nights

Tatianna - 05/11/2018

Lane college is a unique school. Just like many other colleges alike they all have a common core of pros and cons. At first Lane was not my ideal school, however because of it being a small liberal arts school it has opened many opportunities for me to grow as a an individual and be able to learn more about myself and my surroundings. Regardless of the negative the school may have it fuels my drive to focus on the positive and turning the negative into a vantage point to where it better suits my goals and achievements with my peers.
