I think it's a pretty solid school considering it is very easy to get in, and the classes they teach you can set you up for further career experience in the future.

Alexis

My overall opinion of Lansing Community College is that it is a great place to start college classes if you are unsure what you what do but depending on the class and professor you have the class can be a joke. The campus is super easy to get around and class sizes are small.

Lansing Community College is a great school to go to for transfer students. It has provided me the opportunity of receiving higher education with a generous scholarship. I was able to find my true passion and major in Interior Design and transfer into a four-year university. I met amazing people along the way and have met some of the best professors in my life at Lansing Community College.

Ava

Lansing Community College is a great stepping stone to transfer to another university. It is very affordable and most of my professors are great! There is a wide variety of programs and class options. There are also a lot of opportunities for student employment.

Lansing Community College is a good college for someone with not a lot of money, and for people who like small classes. I have enjoy my time at Lansing community College because of the fact they have smaller classes and that they are cheaper then other colleges

Madeline

While I only take online classes here, I have been on campus. The building's interiors are great, and academics are excellent. However, its location --particularly the main campus in downtown Lansing -- is completely lacking in shopping and restaurants and other things for students to do when they aren't studying. In fact, the city is completely run-down and not at all an ideal place to be. I think that LCC is great for people who are just starting out with their basic courses before transferring to a bigger university.

Simon
02/12/2020

LCC's a great place to go to school if you're looking for transfer credits or retaking courses as an adult for which your credit hours have expired. It's relatively cheap, the scheduling is flexible, and you'll have access to a dozen and a half professors/tutors/random people who are around to help you with whatever you need help with. Finding parking is hard, though.

My overall opinion of Lansing Community College is very satisfactory. This community college creates the opportunity to obtain a higher education without paying what you would for classes at a university. So far, I have been satisfied with all of my professors. Multiple campus locations are offered, so more students have a chance to attend school that is closer to them. The staff and faculty are very attentive and helpful, and want you to succeed. It is a positive learning environment that encourages students to keep moving forward in their academic pursuits.

I think that Lansing Community College is an exceptional community college. The campus, staff, students, and faculty is comforting and resourceful. As a high school student that moves between two campuses, it is very easy to navigate; everyone is friendly and always willing to help no matter who you are.

McKenna

As a student of The Early College at Lansing Community College, I have found that everything about Lansing Community College is warm and welcoming. The academics are great, in fact I have never had a gpa so great in my life since I started here. The professors always make time and do whatever they can to help you better your grade as long as you are showing evidence of effort. In addition, the safety is excellent especially for being in the heart of Lansing. I also enjoy all of the food and social options around campus.

Brooke

My overall opinion of LCC is good, there are always people there to help you if you need anything and the environment is nice. The teachers at LCC are all very helpful with any questions that you need help with. You feel safe when you are on campus because you always see a security guard walking around making sure everything is okay.

Jose

This is a great school, there are many great faces around. I am from out of state and i have grown to like the school, i tend to got the learning comms often and everybody is friendly. There's always great conversation with a healthy environment.

Josh

All community colleges I feel have a false stigma about them that only burnouts attend the school. This however is far from the truth with many of the students taking advantage of the schools affordable tuition compared to larger universities. The small class sizes and quality of teachers is something I greatly appreciate about Lansing Community College!

Cameron
07/24/2019

I love the campus of Lansing Community College. The teachers and advisors are truly here to help when the students are in need of them. The star zone has been huge for me since my move here. They make me feel very welcome and apart of something. I’m happy that I chose to take classes at LCC!

Ritamarie

While we may not be a massive school or have a flashy reputation, we have incredible teachers who want us to succeed and do everything in their power to help us achieve our goals. As a part of the service careers program emails with job and internship opportunity's are sent out every week. The class sizes are small and allow for discussion and debate. Lansing Community College also partners with many other four year colleges, allowing students to complete the majority of their work at LCC and finish the degree with them. All in all I have been pretty satisfied with my education at LCC.

    I have been attending college for a lot of years trying to find out what I was going to do with my life. Looking back, I know exactly what I would tell myself. Believe in YOURSELF. I know that sounds cliche but knowing what I know now, it is so important to believe in your passions and your skills. Happiness, true happiness is found in doing what you're truly passionate about. It's not just about making money, it's about enjoying life. Find what makes you happy, find what you're secretly really good at and love doing, and go for it! Money will find it's way to you if you just choose the career that you honestly will be passionate about. It took me 5 years to realize that I wasn't following my heart because everyone around me told me it would be too hard to make money taking pictures. Now I know I could not be happier doing anything else.

It is really growing quickly and is very affordable. It is a really great alternative to a university or even a great tool to save money before transfering and makes the transition a bit easier.

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

    The staff, administration and teacher honoestly care about the growth of their students. LCC offers a student veteran department that provides resources not only for the veterans but for their families as well. LCC works hard to provide a safe, constructive, welcoming environment and classes in ways for all students to obtain degrees, even a Bachelors. Plus LCC offers classes just for fun, subjects like motorcycle license, excercise, crafts etc... High school was not comfortable for me but I am relaxed and enjoy attending LCC. Its easier to learn and enjoyable to attend and participate in class discussions.

  10. What kind of person should not attend this school?

    People should not attend my community college if one already received scholarships and finances in order to go to a different college of their choice. Also, if one has their prerequisites finished one should consider going to a college that focuses more on the area of study that you would like for your future. LCC is really known for their nursing program. So, if you are interested in going into a different area of study then I suggest you go to a different college only if the requirements mentioned above are fulfilled.

  11. What do you brag about most when you tell your friends about your school?

    I love LCC. If I had to choose one thing to brag about it would be the equipment they let us get our hands on! As a photography student, they let us loose in full equipped studios with equipment that I'm not even sure when I'll ever be able to afford it! They treat us like we are real up and coming professionals and it really makes me feel confident when I know they believe in my skill set.
