REVIEWS
Read What Students Are SayingLTCC is a very beautiful school. It is small so you know everybody. It is around midtown so it is easy to get to.
Kathleen from South Lake Tahoe, CA
The college is fairly small, so the class sizes are typically small as well and the teachers at LTCC are dedicated—teaching classes at all times in the day to fit to the schedules of the students as well as remaining on campus to talk and meet with students. For such a small college there is a surprisingly large class listing and the great thing about the quarter system is that those classes are rotated frequently.
