Read What Students Are SayingMost universities or major colleges will have the inclination that students actually ENJOY being smashed together like sardines for their classes. At Lake Sumter, the class sizes are small and enjoyable, so information can easily be learned by the students without feeling cramped and confused.
Most teachers at Lake Sumter not only enjoy teaching, but many have a guaranteed interest and concern that the students learn the material.

Adam from Eustis, FL
Lake Sumter teachers are phenomenal. They are skilled and knowledgeable in the field they teach. All of my teachers have made me a better student by helping me understand the context of the subject rather than memorizing it. I use to hate math until i took Mr. Tripp's math class. Mr. Tripp has made me a fantastic math student and i do not hate math anymore either. The teachers are all very concerned about their students passing and they always take time out of the busy schedules to help any student that is struggling, the teachers at Lake Sumter are truly incredible.
Megan from Clermont, FL
Great for freshman. THe preview of college was a plus so you do not feel out of place on the first day.
Jacob from Clermont, FL
I am so blessed to have the chance to attend Lake Sumter Community College, This is my second semester back to college after 20yrs, and things have changed so much but the professors have been wonderful and encouraging, in all aspects. I am very thankful for the extra time and questions that my instructor�¢����s gave me without hesitation.
Rebecca from Belleview, FL
lake-sumter community college is a fun and helpful way to start your college education. when you first get there everyone is willing to guide you to your classes, and even throughout the year if you have to go somewhere new. also, the teachers are pretty easy going, and none of my teachers are stuck up in any way.
