AMAZING

I transfered from CCD at the Auraria Campus in Denver, CO - which I absolutely loved! I just moved to Durango to live with my pup and attend the Fort! My first steps on campus were breathtaking and every single student and staff memeber did not hesitate to stop and ask if I needed help or just to say hello and welcome me!

I transferred into Fort Lewis altering going to a community College, and man do I wish I had gone all four years there. There are so many great programs, clubs, people, and professors there! It's an amazing school and I wish I had spent more time there.

I loved being here. I met so many great people and had so many opportunities that I don't think I would have had at any other campus. The support that I got from the Native American Center and the Hispanic Center were phenomenal and I highly recommend going to both places to incoming students and current students. I love FLC I wish I could go back.

Fort Lewis is an awesome place to attend college. Professors are very helpful and the campus is beautiful. Plenty of great opportunities for adventure on campus and around Durango. I have not had a boring day in the 2 years I've been here.

If you want to be outside, there isn't any better college in the area. So many things to do on campus and in the mountains. Academics have a good balance between education and living your life which I feel is very rare at many other colleges.

Do you want to waste a lot of money for the school to screw you over and ensure that transferring would make no sense? Then look no further than FLC. Most professors do not care about their students. Dealing with supportive staff is terrible and very unhelpful. Save yourself the trouble, and go to a community college.

Math dpt very prejudiced. Food makes you sick. Once a month drag queen bingo w lap dances, academics poor. Dorm rules not enforced. Good place to ride bikes, have sex, and pretend you actually got education. 2 suicides 2019. Lots of unhappy trans folks & kids go lonely, Many come in with their clicks already. School will promises but not deliver
Overall 2
Almost no study abroad. Faculty are great but offering ordinary courses.
