A+ love this school
Overall 4.7
This school is amazing! Small class sizes, The teachers care, the Native culture is amazing to be around and the back end staff don't procrastinate. This school is amazing and I HIGHLY recommend it over LSC. It's WORTH the drive to attend FDLTCC.

Great experience! Small classes. Instructors care and are easy to talk to. Moved on to CSS and realized half-way through my first semester that I could compete with juniors. Go Thunder!

Enjoyed the campus and the atmosphere a lot. I loved the location and the all around beauty of the school. Loved most of my professors (just didn't vibe the best with some). Great community college and tell everyone about it all the time!
Bad reviews

I have to admit that going to a community college in general was a bad idea due to transfer reasons. The college itself is nice and well kept. The athletes think they're going pro and that they're all that so that is something to chuckle at. The college did nothing to prepare me for University expectations. You don't even have to study to get a 4.0

The counselors and office staff are great! They are willing to help students. This school has a low rating in nursing in Minnesota. Their NCLEX pass rate is 58%. Do not have diversity in instructors in the nursing program and will give you a hard time if you're not their community of people.
