Love it! The teachers and staff are great, the campus is beautiful, the atmosphere is great. The class sizes are small which I especially like and the staff are always ready to help. Located in downtown lewiston idaho there is a strong feeling of history on campus.

Emily - 05/27/2020

LC State is that it's a great school for the people that work well in smaller classes and like to work directly with staff and professors. It's a very close knit community and campus, everyone is invested in their education and staff/professors are just as invested as the students. It's a great campus and there are some really great people that teach and work there. I love going to school here and can't wait to finish my degree here.

Stacy - 01/28/2019

Lewis-Clark State College is amazing. The campus is beautiful and they have facilities for almost everything that you can think of. I like that this college is not a party college but more of an academic college, which is what is should be. I would recommend LCSC for anyone looking to further their education.

Jayden - 06/26/2018

LCSC is a great school, especially for its size and price. It several off-campus buildings, which I stayed in my first semester and sever partnerships with several businesses throughout the LC Valley. With having such small class sizes, the professors are almost always available outside of class and they get to know their students really well.

    Overall Lewis-Clark state college is a great place to attend but it would be nice if campus would expand environmental programs (go green), maybe a campus garden or support the local farmers market in more direct ways. Being an out of state student the scholarships and grants available are quite limited which makes it hard to pay for my education.
