REVIEWS
Read What Students Are SayingSince I arrived at Lake Erie College, I have had the privilege of learning one life lesson after another. I have not only had the chance to excel in the classroom under the tutelage of amazing professors, but I have learned a lot about myself as a person. The instructors give time to their students and make sure that they understand the material. They take the time to approach a student as an individual in a small class environment and I truly believe that it has made all the difference in my education. They know my name, how I learn best, and really care about my future. I highly recommend this institution to anyone that wants to learn hands-on in a positive, small classroom environment.
