I've been at LCC for three semesters doing all of my general education or core classes before transferring to Calvin College. While I have learned a lot in some classes, others are just faster paced and only slightly more in depth than classes I took in high school. Most of my professor have been great but like at every college or university professors can be hit or miss.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
Being at Lansing Community College has totally changed my mind about community college because I have had so many high quality professors who also teach or have taught at MSU and U of M . It is harder to make friends because you often only see people in class (because there are no dorms and people often don't live nearby) but I have met some great people that I still expect to be friends with long after I leave LCC.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Awesome price for in-district students!!! Out of district rates are more expensive and international rates are going up by 27%.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
1) Use ratemyprofessors.com to learn more about different teachers before registering for their classes. 2) Some teachers don't ever use the text book so you can save money by buying it on-line or from another student, sharing a text book with another student or checking one out from the library. All textbooks are on reference at the library but sometimes an older edition (which is often virtually the same) will be available for check out. 3) Also, if you're looking for a job, consider applying for a student staff position (they'll work around your class schedule and you'll get a reduced parking rate). 4) You can rent a calculator for free from the Women's Resource Center. 5) You should check out LCC's awesome theatre program if you enjoy acting or going to see shows. 6) There is a Wii in the library. 7) There is more to be discovered...
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Lansing Community College is a great option for anyone living near Lansing or one of LCC's satellite campuses because it is a commuter college, meaning there is no on campus housing/dorms. LCC is a great place to start taking basic courses if you're undecided about your major, want to save some money before transferring, or are a high school student wanting to dual enroll. LCC also offers many different associate degrees and partners with other colleges and universities around the state to offer different bachelor programs through the University Center.
