Review of Lake-Sumter State College

from Clermont, FL

Do you feel you’re learning a lot?

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.

Do you enjoy the experience at your school?

I am defiantly enjoying being a student at Lake Sumter. I was terrified that the whole college life was going to be intimidating because it is so different from high school, but Lake Sumter's atmosphere is so calm and friendly my first year was a breeze and I cannot wait till my second. I also love the fact that the students are put in control on how many classes they want to take and what classes to take and when. It helps students like me that have two jobs 6 days a week, I am able to work my school schedule around my work schedule.

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

Lake Sumter is a well priced school and I believe every penny going into it is worth it. But my advice to any student going to any college is to try to get as many scholarships as possible, the more extra cash the better. Books are the main money sucker in college and Lake Sumter allows you to rent books so you do not have to pay full price for a brand new one. Lake Sumter also buys used books in case you are not able to find a certain book and had to buy a new one.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

Lake Sumter is a great college for any student looking to start the college life off slow and sort of easy and to even get those pesky pre-reqs out of the way. Lake Sumter is know for having it's own direct connect transfer programs to UCF and UF, two of the top schools in Florida. The transfer program is a great because most colleges take transfer student like that! *snaps fingers*
