Students talk about this school
Good reviews
Overall 5
I absolutely love this school. Some people want the stars and the moon, and the sun, which is why there are a few bad reviews. The passion that comes from the educators are excellent. They offer a lot of flexibility if your like me and still have to work full-time.

Great experience and wonderful campus
Overall 4.8
The only downside to this campus is that it is pretty far from town so you may need a car to attend. Loved this school the food at the bistro is INCREDIBLE as well
Overall 4.5
This school does everything for its students. If you're unsure about your ability to go to a bigger college, LLCC is a great place for you. There is so much help on campus, the only thing they won't do for you is show up and try. The campus feels warm and close-knit. They'll encourage you, teach you and empower you to reach for your dreams.

Awesome school
Overall 4.2
Everyone thinks because this is the local community college that it's b.s. but it's not. If you take the right courses with the right professors you will love your experience at llcc. Do your research, talk to friends about what teachers they would recommend, and study and take it seriously. I've met some professors that have changed my life.
Bad reviews
Overall 0.9
This is absolutely the worst school. If you can avoid this school, do so. After this fall, I'm transferring IMMEDIATELY. It's unfortunate that I won't be able to get back the year I wasted here.

I experienced some piercingly unfair discrimination while studying at Lincoln Land. I cannot condone the way I was treated while at Lincoln Land. I do not recommend Lincoln Land Community College.
Overall 1.2
This school has a confusing campus, the only thing to choose for food is subway and vending machines, and it's all around an awful experience. The faculty and staff are incredibly helpful though. I believe it's because they know this school is miserable.
Overall 1.4
Completely BLOWED by the fact that these hill billy's process financial aid manually - One g.d. student at a time. This is some ri-gd-diculous mess. WTH are students who need to use a portion of financial aid for housing supposed to do especially when employers in Springfield aren't hiring people of color?
Overall 1.5
I've been trying to start college for almost a year now and LLCC is absolutely not where you want to go. Everyone there hates everything including themselves. No one every wants to talk to each other. The staff members, especially the bookstore, all have some kind of attitude if you don't know what you are doing. The school. No one is friendly.
Overall 1.5
It took me going to a university to fully understand how bad this college is. Most professors just want to receive a pay check. There is very limited help or at least resources to find help. Some professors dont even put there email or office hours on there syllabus.
Overall 1.6
The advisors are ABSOLUTELY useless. Specifically, students wind up wasting time/money on classes that they should've been advised to test out of. There's way 2 much talking and child rearing going on in the library. The Biology and Anatomy & Physiology books are old/outdated. Financial aid is manual which takes the entire semester to process.
Overall 1.6
None.

This college could care less if you succeed. There drop out rate is nearly 75% and they do minimal to improve that.
Overall 1.9
Did not enjoy my time at this school. My transcript was messed up and I was not informed properly. Due to the mistake of the college I had to miss out on a semester. I was not impressed with the school and am much happier with other options for schools. I would not recommend this school unless it was for agriculture or the new workforce building.
