The polytechnic is awesome, easy to navigate and has small class sizes that help facilitate better learning. Caf food is bomb so that's an added plus! Love it here and wish I could stay here for my whole degree

Honestly, I had a great experience here. My professors generally cared about their students and tended to be accommodating I don't remember what it's called, but I always use the "Writing helps" part of LCC to ask them to read over my finished essays to give feedback. I don't understand why this college has low ratings. I'd recommend this college.

This college is off to a great start, very welcoming, great orientations that are fun and come with free coffee & snacks! The sense of community is on the lacking side, but not due to the colleges efforts. They have various events every week. Instructors have been nothing but fantastic, supportive and care to get to know who their teaching.

Love this school !

Amazing views as the school sits right on top of the coulees. Amazing parties at The Cave, excellent recreational opportunities, highly educated instructors that are all severely qualified, most come from the field of study. The Tim's is hit and miss, but the cafeteria food is to die for. Residence is lots of fun, great parties, great people!

I love the Lethbridge College campus, it's quite homely. There was not a lot of information available for me in order to be adequately prepared for class. I felt quite blind going in. Great food, awesome facilities, hundreds of career possibilities and huge class selection. Super helpful supports in planning semesters etc

This college has a bad reputation for a reason
Overall 1.3
Food is overpriced. nothing much to do in a small place like this. Prof and academic advisors are horrible. Advisors only care about the money in your wallet and a lot of the prof here don't even teach. It's all book reasings.
Overall 1.4
This school will only think about the money they can take from you. The experience you have here will heavily be dictated on the instructors you have. The Geomatics programs is no longer offered. So you you have a good idea how it went for me.
Overall 1.4
This was an interesting experience.. I'm glad it's over. There are a handful of teachers that actually care about the students. ALOT OF RASCISM AND PEOPLE THINKING THEY ARE ABOVE THE REST.
Overall 1.4
Not good. The programs here just try to get you to spend as much money as possible.
Overall 1.4
Awful teacher structure. Don't EVER come to this black hole.
Overall 1.5
The nursing program here at LC is not as great as they advertise themselves to be. the program is run poorly
Overall 1.6
FYI, if you are planning to transfer to a different school, confirm with the other school what will transfer. I know way too many people that were told there courses would transfer and they didn’t. This college can feel like high school as far as the politics with students and teachers. Very easy college to get into for a reason……
