Review of Labette Community College

from Cherryvale, KS

Describe your college in three sentences.

I was able to experience times of my life I will never forget from this school. Great staff, community, and school. Makes you feel right at home and the staff and community seem like family.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Take advantage of every minute you have here. There are plenty of opportunities for help in any area. Everyone is friendly and don't be afraid to ask for help. There are great people involved in this school and I will always thank and remember them for everything!

Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?

Classes were easy to get enrolled in, there were always guidelines set and followed, and if a class was canceled you were notified. I never was enrolled in a class I didn't need, and I was always able to find the class I needed.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

Although Labette doesn't have dorms, the town of Parsons has tons of houses and apartments available to students, even for a good price. Labette is starting to make dorms as we speak though, there are a few where some athletes have been living in, and they are very nice.

Describe the food and dining at your college.

There is no meal plan offered here, but there is a very nice dining area and great cooks and helpers in the Cardinal Cafe. There are meal cards that are for sale and students usually take advantage of those. Great food though, I chose to eat there more often then eating at home or the fast food choices.

What’s there to do for fun at your college?

Not too many attractions for students in the town, but there is a local bowling alley and a movie theatre.

Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?

This school has made a huge impact on my life. I was a member of the softball team here at Labette and the support and care was always there. No matter if you are just a student or a student-athlete you are all treated the same, as I have friends who just attend, and they feel the same way. Being able to become an athlete for this school though, really showed that the staff and community really care about their students and athletes here. I loved every minute of my experience and I suggest this school to anyone.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

The Gym is the hangout. Everyone hangs here just for any reason really.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

The staff and caring teachers/coaches.

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

Have plenty of activity here; ranges from athletics to academic programs. There are a variety of each one.

How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?

It's a very safe campus. Attended for 3 years and never experienced a problem.
