Review of Lane Community College

from Springfield, OR

Do you feel you’re learning a lot?

There are wide range of classes to take at Lane. I was enrolled in a Human Sexuality class where I learned so many things that you really are not allowed to learn in high school. They covered every aspect of sexuality you could imagine. There are several different types of English classes, including fun classes. In one, you analyze the lyrics of Bob Dylan as poetry and literature. I took a Shakespeare class, and learned about his works in a different way than I did in high school. The professor was encouraging and funny.

Do you enjoy the experience at your school?

The campus is not too big, but still has space to make you feel like you are attending a college and not a high school. There are a variety of plants, sculptures, sitting areas, and different shaped buildings. It's a beautiful campus. Diversity is also huge, being that the school is in Eugene. All types of people attend the school, and it's fun to look at them and get to know them.

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

The tuition is tiny. Each class is less than 100$ on average, and some are only slightly higher. Also, I was able to get a fair amount of financial aid without having a high GPA and lots of extracurricular activities. I am going to be able to do one term of college for less than 2,000 dollars.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

If you decide to attend Lane Community, be aware that the enrollment is at its highest ever. The parking is more crowded than usual, but these are small problems. One area that can be obnoxious is in building 1. You have to take a number to get any assistance, and many of the people who could be working an information window are not. It is sometimes hard to get help unless you are there really early.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

Students who want a smaller school and have less money to spend would definitely like LCC. It's also great for a variety of majors. There are great art, literature, physical education, and science classes. Those who want certifications are 2 year degrees are ideal, because LCC offers those two. You can also transfer from LCC to a University. It makes it much easier and you are more likely to earn scholarships and grants to attend the more expensive school based on your time at Lane.
