Lake Land is a great community college. The professors and staff are pretty accessible and reply to emails pretty quickly, even on weekends. The work can be challenging, but it's nothing you wouldn't expect from a freshman or sophomore college class. The campus is beautiful and welcoming, and there's even a Subway in the student center.

I absolutely loved Lake Land. It is way better and more organized than Eastern. The professors at Lake Land are more professional and seem like they really care about your success than the professors at Eastern.

In high school, I never wanted to go to Lake Land because I thought it would be like every other community college. I was so wrong. I have loved my time at Lake Land and am sad to see it pass. Make sure to get involved in a club or organization on campus; this will help in making friends and making your time here memorable. 100% recommend.

Over all a good experience. I would recommend this college to anyone who has been out of school for any length of time and is looking to get back in.

Going to LLC is the best decision I ever made. the instructors care about you, class sizes are small and everyone is friendly and was happy to help me any way they could. I am still a student at lake land and when I see a previous instructor they know my name and take time to ask how I am doing. GREAT PLACE TO LEARN!!!!!!!!
Overall 4.1
Nice campus, plenty of computers to use, GREAT library (staff is helpful too), Subway food gets boring, clean buildings with new furnishings. Plenty of course offerings on and off campus. Student services are very helpful. Financial aid offices has great staff too. Cost was a big factor in choosing LLCC. Advisors are also great.

the only problem i have with this campus is that its made into a circle and easy to get lost.

don't really recommend, kind of boring.. just go to class and go home, no socializing in between classes, the only food option is subway, the gym is pretty nice, and the teachers are petty... so yea

They have zero student support for those that need it. You are thrown to the wolves.

All my experiences here have been bland and though it is a good school to get your Gen Ed classes for cheap, it is a depressing place to be. Some of my teachers were ok, and some of them were jerks who must have been mad they had to come to work here or something.

Blah it's ok. Wish there was more around to do.

I have been told different things revolving academics and have been told things that have not been true. Overall I am extremely disappointed with this college.
