REVIEWS
Read What Students Are SayingProfessors are extremely helpful, and are available to help whenever you need them!
Katherine from Trenton, NC
The professors here are great. They know what they are talking about in lecture, and they offer plenty of flexible office hours when you don't understand something. Some professors even stay on campus late in the evening to offer office hours. The classes are relatively small compared to large universities, so you get more interactions with the professor other than just listening to someone talk the whole class.
Brittany from Gaffney, SC
Limestone College is a very personal college. It gives you the opportunity to get to know others, as well as your professors easily. All the while offering a christian atmosphere.
Kori from Boiling Springs, SC
