LCC is great, staff who care, small classroom settings (most max out at 30). The downtown and East Lansing campuses are both always clean, and safe.

Campus on lock down or roads closed due to crime in the area is not uncommon. Parking is awful, often taking 30+ minutes to find a parking spot in the student parking areas. There are is no quality control on classes and materials are second rate. If you are looking for just a degree, the college is fine otherwise find somewhere else.

Not what it advertises. Limited resources and no food or social networks.
Overall 1.8
Pretty typical community college.
Overall 1.9
Lacks community, you will only meet classmates. Lacks rational college 'feel'. This is a place to go to get your degree quickly without all the frills. Price of tuition is far too high, but cheaper than a university. You better have a plan, because the counselors, program directors, advisors, etc see you as a number and often offer bad advice.

Horrible horrible HORRIBLE Don't bother going here. Since I stared my first semester, I had issues with accessing 1/2 my classes. Took Admin ONE MONTH to give me access back. Killed any chance of getting a GPA and put me on Suspension 1 and now worse. I tried to contest this, (had proof.) Nothing. Lost my Financial Aid. Some great professors though

Waiting nearly 3 Weeks/Month for your Success Coach to contact you back. Constant confusion as to what classes you need to take to get a degree. Hit or miss professors and I have never even been on campus. Overall, great place to start college, horrible idea to go for getting a degree here.
