Review of Lane Community College

from Eugene, OR

Describe your college in three sentences.

lane community college is a great school with a hard working, friendly faculty that give personal attention to their students which is made easy by our smaller class sizes. also, lcc has a sustainable organic garden on campus, run by students and that is utilized by our culinary department and classes on sustainable living abound here because our community is so dedicated to green alternatives and options. our performing arts department is unsurpassed, with shows put on throughout the year by lcc's production company run entirely by students in the spa (student production association) plus jazz/classical/contemporary concerts and dance performances by both by students and faculty.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

my suggestion to everyone starting at lcc is to utilize all the resources made available to you. we have bus passes paid for in our fees, a helpful financial aid dept., counseling dept. that can help you plan out your time at lane, access to an on campus health clinic also paid for in our fees, as well as free legal aid and many more services.

Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?

my first time in community college wasn't like this, i feel challenged and i leave every term feeling like i have advanced my knowledge in the subjects i am studying, not like i have wasted my time. i feel that i make connections with my teachers and they themselves become resources in my life. so far not one moment in any class has left me bored, i am kept on my toes at every turn.

Describe the food and dining at your college.

we have a culinary staff that is immpecible, and our services range from a fast food area, where people can grab that fast hot item or pull from the vending machines a plethura of things including healthy versions of the classic vending machine, a section of hot entrees like; fresh pizza out of the big oven, sushi made fresh in front of you, a deli with hot soup and made to order sandwiches, or the classic cafeteria style buffet. many choices, all of them good. the culinary students also get to show off their skills in our renaissance room set up for fine dining.

What’s there to do for fun at your college?

school is fun! there are plays and music performances, lots of clubs, chess tournaments, gardening, student lounges with a variety of activities going on.
